BH | Studio Namur Lift-Storage Full Bed

Ticking, the sturdy striped weave first made to hold the feathers in a mattress, became a decorating staple in its own right in the country houses of Flanders and France, where loose covers over a simple frame were slipped off to be cleaned and put back fresh. A slipcover gives a bed like this the same easy, lived-in charm, and keeping winter blankets underneath is just as old a habit.

The full bed keeps its storage hidden in plain sight. A gentle tug on the strap at the foot and a gas cylinder raises the whole mattress deck, opening a deep space for bedding, suitcases between trips and seasonal clothes, while bumpers near the headboard keep the mattress from slipping. A woven slipcover dresses the tall, slightly tapered headboard, the rails and the base, and marks can be spot cleaned. Engineered hardwood slats sit directly under the mattress, so no box spring is needed, and the bed is rated to hold 699 lbs.

It suits a guest room that doubles as a store room, a teenager's bedroom, or a city apartment where every inch counts: luggage between trips and the holiday bedding live below. The slipcover, in Oat Ticking Stripe, Olive, Flax or Mushroom, feels relaxed and summery, good with white linen, a cane bedside table and a framed seaside print. This listing is for a full bed frame; assembly is required.
