Few things in life let you fully relax and switch off like getting into a properly comfortable bed. Whether it’s a plush mattress, supportive bed frame, or simply having somewhere cosy to crawl into at the end of the day, there’s a lot to be said for getting your sleep setup right. And now that the nights are getting colder and darker, a cosy, inviting bed is even more enticing.
Beds and frames are also the sort of thing that can be expensive to replace, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for a good deal. Online bedroom retailer Time4Sleep currently has a selection of bed frames reduced by up to 30 per cent in its sale, from ottoman to upholstered designs, running until 10 October. I’ve had a look through and picked out some of the best offers to transform your bedroom.

If you like the idea of watching TV from bed without having a screen permanently on show, take a look at the Copenhagen TV bed. The TV lifts up and down at the touch of a remote, while the ottoman base gives you plenty of hidden storage for bedding, clothing and other items you want to keep out of sight. It can also accommodate televisions up to 43in.
This is a great option if you want your bed to double up as storage. Along with the slatted headboard, it comes with two floating bedside tables and built-in lamp stands, and the ottoman base lifts up to reveal plenty of storage underneath. It also has a sprung slatted base for extra mattress support.
This bed combines a weathered oak frame with a soft upholstered headboard, so you get a nice mix of rustic and contemporary styling. The headboard is padded for extra comfort if you like to sit up in bed, while the sturdy wooden frame is available in a range of sizes.
This rattan oak bed has a French-style design, with a woven rattan headboard and oak finish to give a touch of elegance to your bedroom. The natural wood and rattan give it a bit of texture, and the sprung slatted base provides support for your mattress.
Another French-inspired bed, the Montpellier has a rustic oak finish and a large, double-layered rattan headboard with carved detailing. It’s made from solid oak, engineered timber and oak veneer, and it has a deliberately rustic finish that shows off the natural knots, cracks and grain of the wood.
