Ideal Home has launched a chic new bed collection with Bensons for Beds – it's the perfect balance of smart styling and practical features
The first bed frames in this exciting new design collaboration are on sale now
It's the place you spend a whopping third of your life – we're talking about your bed, and here at Ideal Home, we know exactly what we're looking for when it comes to the style and comfort this must-have piece of furniture has to offer. That's why teaming up with award-winning bedroom furniture retailer Bensons for Beds to create our very own collection makes total sense. We bring a wealth of knowledge and product know-how when you're on the hunt for the perfect bed and we can't wait for you to see our brand-new, just-released bed designs.
These exclusive designs – the first three in our new Ideal Home x Bensons for Beds collection – are on sale in over 170 Bensons for Beds stores across the country, as well as online, and we know you're going to love them as much as we do.
First to drop are the Darlton Ottoman, Harman Ottoman and Herrington Ottoman. All three have been designed with a clear focus not only on ensuring they look great, but also on delivering comfort and practicality too.
'This exclusive range reflects Ideal Home’s signature approach to timeless interiors, paired with Bensons for Beds’ expertise in comfort and quality,' says Pam Johnson, Head of Buying at Bensons for Beds. 'From clean-lined contemporary frames to plush, upholstered options, each piece in the collection is made to suit a variety of bedroom aesthetics. Whether you're refreshing your space or starting from scratch, this collaboration makes it easy to create a bedroom that's both stylish and supportive.'
Darlton Ottoman
We love the modern elegance of the Darlton Ottoman, which nails the quiet luxe look – elevated and timeless. Available in double, king, and super king sizes, the key feature of the Darlton is its high, cushioned headboard which brings maximum comfort and support to your sleep zone. The frame is upholstered in a soft chenille fabric that comes in two beautifully chic colours - grey and beige.
All of the Ideal Home x Bensons for Beds frames come with end lift ottoman storage – they are designed with practicality as a key consideration. There's plenty of space to stash out-of-season clothing, spare bedding or other essentials to minimise clutter and keep your sleep space feeling calm and organised. And each models also boasts a ventilated boarded base that offers welcome extra support.
Harman Ottoman


For those of us who love lounging in bed – whether reading before bedtime is part of your sleep routine, or you love a lazy morning with a cuppa – the Harman Ottoman is designed with you in mind! This bed is all about that luxuriously cushioned headboard, upholstered in soft velvet (paired with the rest of the frame in a gorgeous chenille fabric), which is guaranteed to offer the perfect spot to chill out and relax. As with all of our range, the design also features end lift ottoman storage.
Currently available in blue and grey, we've also just added a gorgeous beige finish for the ultimate rich neutral style.
Herrington Ottoman
The most classic design in the collection, the Herrington Ottoman is also available in an alternative version featuring a footend. We've taken timeless details such as the subtle scroll on the headboard (and a matching scrolled footend) and dark oak feet, and combined them with clean lines to ensure this bed frame feels fresh and contemporary.
For an elevated finish, the Herrington is available in brown faux-leather or plush beige or grey velvet – the overall look is all about refined sophistication. Practicality isn't forgotten thanks to the generous ottoman storage.
'My bed is one of my favourite places to be, so the opportunity to create our own collection with Bensons for Beds was a total treat,' says Heather Young, Ideal Home's Editor in Chief. 'The Ideal Home team has a host of expertise when it comes to design and sleep, so marrying the two felt like a natural progression. Our new bed frame collection is the perfect balance of smart and chic styling with an eye for longevity, and the practical solutions we know busy households need.'
And you don't need to just take our word for it! Head to one of over 170 Bensons for Beds stores to explore the range and feel the quality for yourself. .
