Happybeds Sherlock Velvet Ottoman Bed (Warm Stone, Electric Media TV Bed)

What size TVs can this bed accommodate?

The bed accommodates slimline TVs up to 43 inches. The TV mounting system is designed for modern flat-screen televisions with standard VESA mounting holes. You may need to purchase additional brackets if your TV has a non-standard mounting configuration. The footboard has sufficient depth to house most 43-inch models whilst maintaining the bed's sleek profile.

How does the ottoman storage mechanism work?

The ottoman storage uses gas-powered struts that lift the mattress platform to reveal the storage compartment beneath. You can access the storage from either the left or right side of the bed. The gas mechanism provides smooth lifting action and holds the platform securely in any position. The storage space runs the full length and width of the bed base.

Is assembly required and how difficult is it?

Yes, the bed arrives flat-packed and requires self-assembly. Detailed instructions are provided, though some customers find the gas strut installation challenging. The TV mounting system requires careful attention to ensure proper alignment. Most people can complete assembly in 2-3 hours with basic tools. Customer service is available to assist with any assembly questions.

What are the exact dimensions for each bed size?

The King size measures 225.5 x 158.7 cm, Super King measures 225.5 x 188.7 cm and Double measures 217.5 x 143.7 cm. All sizes have a height of 120 cm with side panels at 33 cm. These dimensions include the headboard and footboard. Ensure you have adequate ceiling height for the TV to extend fully when raised.

Can I use any type of mattress with this bed?

The bed works with most standard UK mattress sizes and types including memory foam, pocket sprung and hybrid mattresses. The maximum weight capacity is 350kg total, including mattress and occupants. Ensure your mattress doesn't exceed the recommended thickness that might interfere with the ottoman lifting mechanism. The platform provides excellent support for various mattress constructions.

How reliable is the electric TV lift mechanism?

The electric motor system is designed for regular daily use and provides smooth, quiet operation. The mechanism includes safety features to prevent damage if obstructed. The handheld remote offers precise control over the TV's position. Like any mechanical system, occasional maintenance may be required, but the UK manufacturing ensures parts availability and service support.

What colours are available and how do I choose?

The bed is available in Natural (soft cream), Warm Stone (cosy beige), Light Grey and classic Grey velvet finishes. Warm Stone offers warm undertones that create a calming atmosphere. Light Grey provides a modern, clean look, whilst classic Grey adds sophistication. Natural brightens spaces and works with both modern and traditional décor styles.

Does the bed come with a warranty?

As a UK-manufactured product, the bed includes manufacturer warranty coverage for defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty typically covers the frame, gas struts and electric mechanisms. Keep your purchase receipt and register your product for warranty protection. Customer service can provide specific warranty terms and assist with any issues that arise during normal use.
