Worked out with an absolute anchor Editorial judgement
We could not score «space efficiency», «capacity» because the manufacturer does not publish the figures needed. That axis shows as zero on the chart: it is a declared gap, not a low score.
Full technical details
Figures the manufacturer does not publish appear as «—». We would rather leave a gap than fill it with an invented number.

The analysis
At just 5 cm of ground-to-item clearance, there is no gap along the sides of the frame to slide a storage box underneath: everything the bed stores has to go inside the lift-up base itself, reached by raising the foot end on gas struts rather than lifting the mattress by hand.
The frame measures 140 × 193.5 cm, built around a 135 × 190 cm double mattress with a few centimetres of frame showing on each side. The maker does not publish how many litres the base holds, so the volume available once the mattress and slats are in place is not stated. Overall height is 104 cm, including the adjustable headboard, which tilts independently of the storage mechanism.
The structure is eucalyptus wood with a powder-coated finish, upholstered in velvet, and weighs 43.8 kg once assembled, a figure worth knowing before moving it into a bedroom alone. Assembly is required and the maker does not state how long it takes, nor does it publish a warranty length.
In favour
- According to the maker, the frame supports up to 500 kg, covering mattress, sleepers and any stored items.
- The gas-lift end opening raises the sleeping platform without lifting the mattress by hand.
- The headboard is adjustable, a feature the maker highlights separately from the storage mechanism.
Against
- The maker does not publish how many litres the storage base holds, so the space inside cannot be stated precisely.
- No mattress is included; the frame is sized for a 135 × 190 cm double mattress bought separately.
Best for: Anyone furnishing a double bedroom who needs storage built into the bed itself rather than a separate chest of drawers, and has room to lift the gas-strut base at the foot end.
