We also liked the adjustable feet on the central support of the base, which mean that you can lower or raise the bed to accommodate an uneven floor (a common problem in many older homes in the UK). There's no time wasted screwing individual slats into the frame – instead you just lay the row of slats over the frame and attach the black webbing with the Velcro. We were particularly impressed with the way the slats attach to the frame with a continuous strip of Velcro. This casing also means there's no chance of any splinters. The slats are flat, but encased in a stretchy black webbing that does give them a little bounce and movement. The frame is made from a soft, brushed polyester, the neutral black and grey colour scheme is extremely appealing and the finish is excellent. The Nectar base might be minimalistic, but it looks neat and tidy when it's assembled. Central support feet adjustable for uneven flooring.But we do feel that the Nectar base edges it in looks, design and stability.

So this could be a reasonably priced way to increase the size of your bed, although you would obviously then have to take into account buying a new mattress, sheets, duvet and all that.

It loses half a point purely because of the lack of headboard, which means you've got nothing soft to lean your head against. It's a well-made base that's extremely comfortable to sleep on and works well with all different bed types. Overall we've awarded the Nectar Platform Bed Frame 4.5 out of 5. We also found that we stayed cool throughout the night, with the slats also providing good airflow. It performed well from the first night, with the well-spaced slats providing ample support for our hybrid mattress. Our reviewers genuinely loved sleeping on the Nectar base. These pieces need to be screwed together, so we found that we needed a second person to hold the frame straight whilst it was attached together. But we found it considerably quicker to put together with a second person on hand – particularly when attaching the sides to the headboard and footboard. We tested a double size bed frame and felt that you could, with a little bit of jiggling, put it together yourself. You don't need any tools apart from the supplied allen key. Nectar doesn't make any claims about how long it will take you to build the base, but we found it pretty simple to put together. The frame is also supportive enough to stop a memory foam mattress from sagging, whilst still allowing a sleeper to sink in for decent body contouring. This is particularly important if you sleep on a memory foam mattress, as these are notorious for trapping body heat. The slats provided a solid base that allowed our hybrid mattress to work properly, without sinking through any gaps.Īnother benefit of the Nectar bed frame is how well the slats promote airflow. The slats are flat rather than sprung, and housed in one sheet of black webbing material and provide a surprisingly supportive base for your mattress (in fact, one of our testers found switching to this base made a huge difference to their back pain). It's an attractive bed frame that's bound to appeal to those who like an uncluttered and minimalist bedroom with its quietly elegant feel. There's a simple grey frame with covered slats and black rubberwood legs. This isn't a bed base with bells and whistles – what you see is pretty much what you get. Materials: Soft touch polyester, black rubberwood legs
