About this product
The Akio Double Wooden Platform Bed Frame gives you that simple, paired-back style that makes a bedroom feel calm and uncluttered. It's solid wood painted black, so you've got a sturdy frame that's built to last and looks really striking against lighter bedding and walls. The design holds a double mattress with base slats encased in an outer frame, keeping everything clean and minimal. It supports up to 220kg, so there's plenty of capacity for two people and your bedding. The low-profile look works well in modern bedrooms where you want furniture that doesn't dominate the space.
The wooden slat base supports your mattress evenly and lets air circulate underneath, helping to keep things fresh. There's 14cm space between the floor and underside, so you can hoover or store flat items underneath without awkward manoeuvring. The side rail sits at a comfortable height, making it easy to get in and out. Assembly's straightforward with two people, all fixings and instructions are provided. Comes with a one-year guarantee for peace of mind.

Customers Say
The bed frame is stylish, sturdy, and offers great value. Assembly is challenging due to misaligned holes and many screws, but the finished product is comfortable and visually appealing.

Ideal bed frame
In general the bed frame it self after constructed is amazing sturdy and visually appealing for a room, how ever building it was a bit tricky as some of the bolt holes were not aligned properly making some parts rather frustrating how ever I believe I just unlucky with mine

Disappointing quality and construction
Hoped the previous reviews were wrong but no, genuinely this bed was awful to assemble. Tolerances are much too large in specific areas. Also, we were missing a dowel and a screw hole which we had to drill ourselves and even then it was pretty rubbish. The inner frame support plank was too long and we had to cut it to size. Since building it its been completely fine, no issues with that which is why its got 2 stars instead of the one.

Great product
I brought this a month ago and i'm happy i did. Is study and nice. And was on offer. The downside is that is a bit down but with a 30cm deep matress matches well.

Terrible
I actually don’t know where to start about the huge disappointment with this bed. Firstly the packaging was poor. Components rammed into a box leaving marks on the head board. Instructions poor. Quality of the wood was marked and scratched in many places. Construction. I built this with my daughter and it was not easy. The main supporting bar down the centre of the bed neither screw holes in both parts did not align. We had reached a point where it was too much to take it down again as a four year old was waiting for his new bed! The plus side of all this was calling Argos and detailing all of the above with photos and we did get a small rebate. Honestly it’s just not worth buying cheap!

Overall, a nice sized bed which looks good.
We brought this bed just before Christmas to accommodate extra guests. They found the bed comfortable and it looks great. The size is perfect. Argos delivery was brilliant. Hence 4 Stars. However, although the assembly was easy and straightforward, we did encounter one issue - the central strut for the slats was too long - the manufacturer hadn't allowed for the depth of the metal brackets, meaning we had to trim it down with a handsaw to fit it on. Also the fixing holes did not line up on this part, with or without cutting it down.

Good value, intensive assembly
Excellent value bedframe, very low so ideal for attics or corners with sloping roofs. The frame arrived a little chipped in places, but nothing visible when installed, and there were a couple of issues with parts not fitting perfectly but it's still functional. Assembly is quite straightforward - it took me about 8 hours but I did get a couple of things wrong and had to re-do - but is rather intensive. In particular, the slats need to be manually attached, which means putting 54 screws into hardwood, which is quite challenging.

Watch out for your shins walking around the end!
Honestly, I guess you get to what you pay for! Needed a new bedframe and couldn't afford to spare much at the time so took a punt on this. It was pretty terrible to put together: some of the holes for pegs didn't line up well, needed a lot of brute force and had to use drill attachment on electric screwdriver to widen the last one on final side enough to get the peg to go in. Once it was finally together, it looked pretty stylish! However, we've already had to replace two broken slats and the design has very pointed corners which can do quite a bit of damage if you happen to walk into them (as my poor mum discovered while she was staying with us and took a flap of skin up on her shin! Sorry, Mum!). My advice is to give this a miss and opt for something less stylish but safer if you really can't afford to spend more right now.

A 20–25 cm mattress will leave more of the headboard exposed, giving a lighter appearance.
A 25–28 cm mattress is generally the best balance between comfort and aesthetics.
A 30 cm mattress can also be used if preferred, but it will reduce the visible portion of the headboard.
