Description
Super King Bed with a Dual-Mode Gas Lift and Storage
Most gas lift beds open one way. The Mara Super King Velvet Gas Lift Bed Frame in Cream White opens two: flat for full access to the whole compartment, or tilted when you only need to reach in for one thing. Flat lift is the one you'll use when changing the sheets, since it holds the platform clear rather than in your way, and it's a job that takes about half the time when the mattress is up at working height instead of on the floor. Beneath the platform there's 31cm of clear depth across the full super king footprint — enough for suitcases upright, spare doonas, and the seasonal bedding currently taking a wardrobe shelf.
Velvet, a Eucalyptus Frame and LVL Slats
The upholstery is velvet in cream white, across a curved headboard padded deeply enough to sit against with a book rather than a wall of timber behind your pillows. Underneath, the frame is eucalyptus and engineered wood with a powder-coated metal lift mechanism, and the base runs on high-strength LVL slats — laminated veneer lumber, which resists bowing better than the plywood slats most beds in this price range use. Before ordering, measure the room: at L230 × W239 × H105cm the frame needs about 26cm more length and 35cm more width than the 203 × 203cm mattress going into it.
Key Features of the Mara Storage Bed:
- Dual-Mode Gas Lift: Opens flat for full access or tilted for quick reach, rather than one fixed position.
- 31cm Storage Depth: Clear space beneath the whole platform — suitcases, bedding and bulk storage without extra furniture.
- High-Strength LVL Slats: Laminated veneer lumber, more stable under load than standard plywood slats.
- Curved Upholstered Headboard: Deeply padded and rounded, comfortable to sit back against for reading.
- Eucalyptus and Engineered Wood Frame: A solid timber structure with a powder-coated metal lift mechanism.
- L230 × W239 × H105cm: A large footprint — allow more floor space than the mattress alone suggests.
- Cream White Velvet: A soft pale finish that brightens a room and works with oak, walnut, brass, black metal and linen.
Material Care & Maintenance
Velvet holds the shape of whatever presses into it, so pillows and leaning leave visible shading on the headboard — normal, and it evens out if you brush the pile in one direction with a soft clothes brush. Vacuum with an upholstery attachment, brushing the same way afterwards. Blot spills and never rub: rubbing crushes the pile permanently, which on cream shows more than the mark would have. Test any cleaner on the underside first, since water alone can ring velvet. For the lift: guide the platform down with a hand on it rather than letting it drop, load the compartment evenly rather than to one side, and keep contents below the level that stops the base closing flush.
