At first glance, this is a pretty standard bed. The linen-blend upholstery is stretched tautly over the wooden frame, including a substantial but not gaudy headboard. Clean lines abound, and this simplicity means this bed would look great in lots of differently decorated bedrooms.
Now, for the bed’s coolest feature: A chunky black strap in the middle of the foot of the bed (that can be tucked away) is the only clue that something else is afoot. Lift it up, and the platform, while holding a mattress, comes up easily, powered by hydraulic cylinders on each side of the bed. It makes your underbed storage exponentially easier to access and use to the point where you might wonder why all beds don’t have this feature.
What Shoppers Are Saying
Reviewers say it’s “simply stunning,” is a “perfect storage solution,” and has upholstery that “looks and feels nice.”
“Took a risk and glad I did!” wrote one shopper who bought this bed before it had any reviews. “It was easy to assemble with two people,” they wrote. “Lifting the mattress to access the storage is very easy and seems very stable,” and “the headboard adds a little bit of coziness!” Along with the clever storage system, this bed has a “Beautiful color, soft material, and sturdy construction.”
Another began their review simply: “This bed is great.” They added that it offers “loads of storage beneath for all the weird stuff one accumulates but doesn’t use daily” and that the hydraulics are “so much better than drawers.” The bed also “feels sturdy,” took just a few hours to assemble solo, and can be easily opened from the side if need be.
The Latitude Run Gaillarde Hydraulic Upholstered Platform Bed is a great bed that makes the space underneath your mattress so much more usable. Likely because of this super steep discount, some size-color combinations are already sold out. Our recommendation: shop soon for the best selection.
