Questions before you buy
What mattress size fits the Penelope double velvet bed frame?
A standard 138 x 188 cm double mattress. Order double sheets and a double duvet to match. The mattress is sold separately from the frame.
How does the storage work on the Penelope double?
The poplar slat platform lifts on gas struts, opening a compartment that runs the full area under the mattress. The base is enclosed, so bedding stays clean inside.
How tall is the Penelope double velvet headboard?
85 cm from the floor, with a 54.5 cm padded panel 9 cm thick in soft vertical channels. That leaves usable wall above the bed.
How much floor space does the Penelope double need?
The assembled frame occupies 203 x 146.5 cm and the base sides stand 30 cm high. Add walking space on the sides you use and clear access at the foot end.
How is the velvet on the Penelope double cared for?
Velvet upholstery responds best to regular light vacuuming with a brush head, and to brushing the pile back in one direction after the bed is made.
How does the Penelope double arrive?
In two cartons weighing 15.0 kg and 27.5 kg, with assembly required. The longer carton is 196 cm, so check the access route in advance.
