Berlin Tall Ottoman Double Bed Frame – Black

This double bed frame from our Berlin range is upholstered in soft black velvet, giving the whole piece a deep, tactile surface that catches the light across the headboard. The frame measures 1540mm wide, 2030mm deep and 1240mm tall, making it a generous fit for a standard double mattress with room to spare. The tall headboard carries fluted vertical lines that run the full width, adding a run of quiet detail behind your pillows without dominating the room.

In a black colourway, this bed frame works with a wide spread of interiors, from pale, neutral walls to darker, moody schemes. It sits comfortably in a main bedroom or a well used guest room, and the neutral tone means you can rework bedding, rugs and lighting around it as your taste shifts. The tall headboard suits rooms with a bit of ceiling height, where the fluted panel can be seen and appreciated. If storage is tight, the under-bed ottoman base lifts to reveal a large hidden space for bedding, seasonal clothing or luggage.

The frame arrives in two boxes with a combined weight of 42.3kg and needs full assembly. The velvet upholstery is applied across the headboard and base for a soft, consistent look. To keep it in good order, wipe the fabric with a damp cloth or lift dust away with a soft brush, working gently along the fluted grooves. Avoid soaking the velvet or using harsh cleaning products, as this can mark the pile. Berlin is available in two headboard heights, so you can choose the tall version shown here or a lower profile to suit your space and ceiling.

What is this bed frame made from?

The frame is upholstered in soft black velvet across both the headboard and the ottoman base. The velvet gives a deep, tactile surface that reflects light and softens the overall look. It suits a warm, textured bedroom scheme and pairs easily with cotton or linen bedding in a range of tones.

How do I clean the velvet?

Wipe the velvet gently with a damp cloth to lift everyday marks, or use a soft brush to clear dust and settle the pile. Work carefully along the fluted grooves on the headboard. Avoid soaking the fabric or using harsh cleaning products, as these can leave water marks or damage the surface.

What size mattress does it take?

This frame is built for a standard UK double mattress. The outer dimensions measure 1540mm wide, 2030mm deep and 1240mm tall, so allow enough floor space around the bed for the ottoman base to open fully. Check your mattress depth against the frame before ordering to be sure of a good fit.

How does the under-bed storage work?

The base is an ottoman design, so the whole platform lifts up to reveal a large hidden space beneath. This is useful for spare bedding, seasonal clothing or luggage in rooms where cupboard space is limited. Lift and lower the base steadily, keeping hands clear of the moving mechanism.

Is there a choice of headboard height?

Yes. The Berlin range comes in two headboard heights. This listing is the tall version, which shows the fluted vertical lines to full effect and suits rooms with more ceiling height. A lower headboard option is also available if you prefer a more compact profile in a smaller space.
