Ashley Bed

Ashley Bed, Refined Elegance That Redefines What a Bedroom Can Feel Like

There’s a specific moment when you walk into a bedroom and think: that bed just works. Clean, confident, and quietly luxurious without shouting about it. That’s the Ashley Bed. It’s the kind of upholstered sleigh divan frame that earns its place as the centrepiece of your room — not through excess, but through exactly the right amount of everything.

Currently £50 off from just £249, the Ashley Bed sits at the sharper end of the UK luxury bed market. Yet what genuinely sets it apart from similar frames on the market isn’t the price — it’s the depth of customisation on offer.

Your Bed, Built Around You

Start with your size. Single 3ft through to super king 6ft, every standard UK dimension is covered. Then choose your headboard height — the standard profile suits compact rooms, or scale it up to a full +40cm taller for a more dramatic, floor-to-ceiling feel. After that, pick your fabric: plush velvet, chenille, crush velvet, naple cloth, coniston, or teddy — each available in over 30 colours spanning cream, charcoal, teal, dusty pink, silver, and royal blue.

Storage That Doesn’t Compromise the Look

For bedrooms where floor space is precious, the Ashley Bed’s optional gas-lift storage base (£89.99) or deep divan ottoman storage base (£169.97) means every inch beneath your mattress is working for you. No separate storage boxes, no visual clutter — just clean lines on top and smart space below.

Bundle a mattress at checkout — from a soft-to-medium spring memory foam up to a firm 3000-pocket spring or orthopaedic memory foam option — and your entire sleep setup arrives together, delivered free to your door across the UK. Professional assembly is also available for £49.99, booked right at checkout.

The Ashley Bed fits naturally into contemporary bedrooms, modern maximalist spaces, and even more classic bedroom schemes where the emphasis is on lasting quality over fast-changing trends.

Quick-View Specifications

“I’d been looking at sleigh beds for about three months and kept going back to this one. Ordered the king size in plush velvet silver with the +20cm headboard upgrade — it looks genuinely incredible in the room. The fabric is soft, the frame is solid, and delivery was quicker than I expected. No regrets whatsoever.” — Rachel T., Sheffield · King Size 5ft, Plush Velvet Silver, +20cm Headboard

“Went for the small double in teddy linen fabric for my teenage daughter’s room. She absolutely loves it. The fabric is so cosy-looking and feels really premium for the price. Added the gas-lift storage base which has been brilliant for keeping her room tidy. Would order from Johnstones again without hesitation.” — Claire B., Bristol · Small Double 4ft, Teddy Linen, Gas-Lift Storage

“Couldn’t believe the price when I saw it. Ordered the double in Coniston Mink — the headboard is proper tall and looks exactly like the photos. Assembly team were friendly and fast. My bedroom looks like something out of a hotel now. Genuinely the best thing I’ve bought for my home this year.” — Marcus L., Leeds · Double 4ft6, Coniston Mink, Professional Assembly
