Teresa Strip Bed — Premium Bed Bases with Storage for the Modern UK Bedroom

Your bedroom does two jobs. The Teresa Strip Bed makes sure it does both brilliantly.

If you’re living in a terraced house in Leeds, a flat in London, or a semi-detached in Birmingham, you already know the problem — not enough storage, not enough style, and never enough floor space. The Teresa Strip Bed solves all three in one go.

This is one of the most versatile bed bases with storage available in the UK market today. Built on a sleek strip-panelled frame, upholstered in your choice of premium fabric, and available with three distinct base configurations, it gives you far more than a place to sleep. It gives you a properly organised bedroom.

Three Storage Options. One Smart Decision.

Where most competitors offer you a single drawer layout and call it done, Teresa goes further. Choose the base that actually suits your life:

Gas Lift Storage Base — lift the mattress with ease, reveal the entire floor area underneath, and store duvets, seasonal bedding, suitcases, and anything else that normally ends up in a pile. No drawers to pull out, no access restrictions, and no need for extra bedroom furniture eating into your space.

Divan Ottoman End Lift — the end of the bed opens upward with a smooth hydraulic mechanism, giving you deep, clean storage without disturbing your partner’s side. This is the go-to choice for smaller rooms where pulling out side drawers simply isn’t practical.

Standard Base with Slats — if storage isn’t your priority, the slatted base option keeps the Teresa light, breathable, and supremely supportive, which matters particularly if you’re pairing it with a pocket spring mattress.

No other bed at this price point gives you this level of choice over your storage setup.

Size Guide — From Single to Super King

The Teresa is available across five UK sizes:

• Single 3ft — perfect for teenagers’ rooms, box bedrooms, and guest rooms
• Small Double 4ft — the smart choice for solo sleepers who want more space
• Double 4ft 6in — the most popular size for couples in standard UK bedrooms
• King Size 5ft — generous, comfortable, the master bedroom standard
• Super King 6ft — for those who refuse to compromise on sleeping space

No matter which size you choose, the storage base scales with it. A super king ottoman holds considerably more than a single divan — which matters when you’re trying to eliminate a second wardrobe entirely.

Over 60 Fabrics. No Guesswork.

This is where Teresa genuinely pulls ahead of mass-produced alternatives from the likes of Happy Beds or IKEA. Every single upholstery option is available on request, so you’re not choosing from a photo — you’re building the bed around your bedroom.

Crushed velvet — rich, deep, and unmistakably luxurious. Available in champagne, silver, mink, grey, gold, black, blue, lilac, pink, red, and cream. The go-to for a statement bedroom that photographs beautifully.

Plush velvet — softer to the touch, with a matte finish that works well in calmer, more minimal interiors. Available in steel, teal, sky, pebble, mustard gold, and more.

Boucle teddy fabric — textured, warm, and very much on-trend. Available in cream and stone. Perfect if you want that boutique hotel feel without the boutique hotel price.

Chenille — heavy, structured, and durable. Available in black, charcoal, cream, mink, and silver.

Coniston fabric — a versatile, slightly textured weave available in almond, armour, blue, charcoal, gold, green, mink, and pink.

Linen — ideal for Scandi-influenced rooms. Available in barley, beige, black, charcoal, copper, graphite, midnight, sage, teal, and wheat.

Naples fabric — elegant and smooth, available in black, cream, mink, mauve, purple, sand, silver, and slate.

Faux leather — clean, wipeable, and modern. Available in black, blue, brown, pink, and white.

Arizona fabric — understated and durable in black, chocolate, and grey.

Whatever your room looks like — pale Farrow & Ball walls, dark moody tones, or a warm natural palette — there’s a Teresa to match it exactly.

Headboard Options — Proportion Matters

The Teresa comes with an adjustable headboard height, something the majority of online bed retailers don’t offer at this price point. Choose an additional:

• +10cm — standard proportion, suits ceilings under 2.4m
• +20cm — a popular mid-height for most UK bedrooms
• +30cm — a taller, hotel-style look that fills the wall properly
• +40cm — dramatic, bold, and ideal for high-ceilinged period properties

Getting the headboard height right is the difference between a bed that looks like it belongs in the room and one that just sits there. Don’t guess — measure your wall height from the floor and choose accordingly.

Optional Foot Stool & Ottoman Box

If you want to complete the look:

• A matching footstool is available in standard, king, and super king sizes — ideal for placing at the end of the bed for additional seating or as a landing spot for pillows at night.
• A standalone ottoman box can be added to your order in every available size, giving you even more concealed storage alongside the bed if needed.

Assembly Service — Let Us Handle It

Bed assembly is available at checkout. Our team will deliver to a room of your choice and build the Teresa in situ, so you don’t have to spend a Sunday afternoon with an allen key. Please ensure the room and access route are clear before your delivery slot.

Why Teresa Beats the Competition

Most bed bases with storage at this price come with a single fabric option, one base type, and basic dimensions. Brands like Happy Beds push volume over choice. Divan Base Direct focuses on the base alone, without the frame. Bed Guru offers British-made quality but at a noticeably higher price bracket.

The Teresa Strip Bed is £349, fully customisable, available in multiple storage configurations, and upholstered in over 60 fabrics. At that price, with that level of personalisation, it’s genuinely difficult to find a comparable product in the UK market right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between gas lift storage and ottoman end lift? Gas lift opens from the side and lifts the entire mattress platform upward. Ottoman end lift opens from the foot of the bed. If your room is tight on side access, the end lift is the better choice. If you want maximum ease of access, a gas lift is slightly more convenient for day-to-day use.

Can I use my existing mattress with the Teresa? Yes, as long as it matches the size you order. If you’re unsure whether your current mattress works on a storage base, check with us before purchasing.

Does the Teresa come in a split base for king and super king? Please contact us to confirm split base availability for king size 5ft and super king 6ft orders.

Is professional assembly worth it? If you’re ordering a super king with ottoman storage, absolutely. Larger bases are significantly heavier, and the hydraulic mechanism benefits from correct fitting. For single or double sizes, self-assembly is straightforward for most people.

How long does delivery take? Delivery timelines vary by fabric and size availability. Contact us directly for a lead time before ordering if you’re working to a deadline.
