Alora Base Strip Bed

Warm up your bedroom with the Alora Almond Strip Bed — a channel-stitched divan frame upholstered in Coniston fabric, a soft, two-tone finish with a subtle velvet-like handle. The vertical strip detailing across the headboard adds structure and shadow-play, while the almond tone itself sits between beige and caramel: warmer than a true neutral, but easy to build a room around.

A Headboard With Depth, Not Just Colour

The strip-channel headboard is stitched in clean vertical lines for a tailored, boutique feel, and the Coniston fabric’s two-tone finish means the colour shifts subtly depending on the light — giving the almond shade more depth than a flat-dyed fabric would. Choose a standard headboard or add extra height (+10cm to +40cm) for a bolder look, and opt for a split headboard in two pieces if access up stairs or through doorways is tight.

Sized and Specced Around You

The Alora Base Strip Bed is available from a Single 3ft up to a Superking 6ft. Build it out to match how you actually live:

• Mattress: from pocket memory foam to a 3000-pocket pillow-top, ordered with or without the frame
• Storage: no storage, 2 or 4 drawers, or a full ottoman gas-lift / end-lift base for maximising under-bed space
• Footstool & ottoman box: matching pieces available, sized to your bed
• Delivery: main-entrance drop-off, room delivery, or full delivery and assembly

Why Is the Warm Neutral UK Bedrooms Are Turning To

Where grey and white dominated bedroom searches for years, other warm neutrals are having a moment — they photograph softer, pair naturally with wood tones, rattan and brass, and don’t show the same cold, showroom look that flat greys can. The Alora Base Strip Bed’s two-tone Coniston finish leans into that warmth rather than flattening it, making it a considered choice rather than a safe default.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Coniston fabric the same as linen? No — Coniston is a soft, two-tone fabric with a velvet-like feel, distinct from our Linen range. If you’re set on a linen texture, our Linen Sage or Linen Wheat colourways would be a better match.

What mattress works best with the Alora Base Strip Bed? For a softer feel, the Coolgel or memory foam mattresses work well; for firmer support, look at the 2000 or 3000 Pocket Spring options.

Can storage be added after I’ve ordered? No — storage base, drawers and the ottoman box are configured at checkout, since they change how the divan base is built, so it’s worth deciding on storage needs before ordering.

Is assembly included with delivery? Only with the “Delivery & Assemble” option — standard and room delivery are drop-off only.
