Chelsea Cashmere High Sleeper with Desk, Sofa Bed & Storage Box

Chelsea High Sleeper with Desk, Sofa Bed & Storage

The Chelsea is a whole bedroom in one frame, built for a teenager who's still growing. A raised European single on top, and underneath it a desk that runs the full depth of the bed with shelving above, a sofa that pulls out into a second bed, and a lift-lid storage box at the end.

Two things are worth knowing. It takes a European single, 90 by 200cm, 10cm longer than a standard UK single, so it's still the right length at fifteen. And the ladder runs straight up the front rather than leaning out into the room, so the whole bed is only 105cm deep with the ladder included. In a narrow bedroom that's the difference between fitting and not.

Under the bed there's 142.5cm of clear height. The desk is 88cm wide and 94.5cm from front to back, far bigger than most children's desks, with a two-shelf unit above it for books, folders and a lamp. Beside it sits the sofa: a seat most of the time, and when friends stay, the base pulls out and the cushions (included) lay flat to make a second bed. Fully pulled out it reaches 190cm from the wall, and you can stop short of that if the room is tight. Under the ladder, a lift-lid storage box takes spare bedding, toys or anything you'd rather not see.

In cashmere, a soft pale grey-white that works in a child's room now and a teenager's later. If you'd rather not build it yourself, add Professional Assembly on this page before checkout. The delivery team build it in the room you choose and take the packaging away, so the bed is ready to sleep in the day it arrives.

The Chelsea takes a European single mattress, 90 by 200cm. A standard UK single is 10cm too short and leaves a gap at the end, so check the size before you order. The manufacturer's maximum depth is 18.7cm, and a 15cm mattress leaves more guard rail above the sleeper. The MemoryDream 15 in European single is the one we'd put on it.

Questions parents ask

Why does it need a European mattress?
The Chelsea takes a European single, 90cm by 200cm, which is 10cm longer than a UK single, so it's still the right length for a growing teenager. A standard UK single would leave a gap at the end.

How high does my ceiling need to be?

Can the ladder go on either side?
Yes. It fits on the left or the right, and it runs straight up the front instead of leaning out into the room.
