There is no single and no double in this colour, so it is a main-bedroom decision rather than a range you build a house around. It comes through the Ballincollig showroom, and black steel is a finish worth seeing under real light rather than on a screen.

The bed takes up 1575 × 2090mm of floor and stands 1120mm high, and the steel sections take up almost no visual room — in a small king-sized bedroom a metal bedstead reads far lighter than a solid timber headboard of the same height. It is also a strong choice where storage has to go under the bed, with 275mm of clear height beneath the frame. Where it does not suit: a house kitting out several rooms at once, since this colour comes in king only, and a room where the wall behind the bed is already dark, because a black frame against a dark wall loses its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#571f32\"\u003eChosen by Paul\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaul says:\u003c\/em\u003e “It’s king or nothing in the black.

At 1575mm wide, a 3.2m bedroom leaves roughly 810mm each side and a 3m bedroom about 710mm — comfortable either way, which is part of why a king works in rooms people assume are too small for one. Allow for your skirting board if the bed goes against a wall: the headboard is a flat steel frame and sits proud of a deep skirting rather than tight to the plaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#571f32\"\u003eSee it before you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack finishes read differently in every room — flat and graphic in daylight, almost invisible under a warm bulb at night.

They are timber sitting in steel brackets, and over the first weeks of use they seat themselves into position — during which a slat can creep along the rail and knock, which sounds far more serious than it is. Lift the mattress at about three weeks, push each slat back square, and go round the frame bolts with the key at the same time. Metal joints settle just as timber ones do. Do that once and the bed will generally stay quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEPTEMBER OFFER BLOCK — insert here when the Bedroom Event pricing is confirmed; remove on 1 October.
