Barely used Furl Plus storage bed - double

Recommended Posts

I bought this lovely bed with lots of helpful storage in June 2016 and paid a touch over 1k for it (I have the receipt if you'd like it).


While the storage aspect is very much in use, as you'll be able to see in the photos, it's in the guest room and we haven't had many guests the last 2ish years. The bed has probably been slept on about 5 times by us (very comfy) when the music from the neighbours by our bedroom was too loud and maybe 10-15 times by guests. There's only so much space in this flat and I'd like to use the space the bed is in as a gym/chill-out room instead. So, now I feel like an idiot for spending so much on a fancy storage bed. But hey, hopefully this is great news for someone out there who wants exactly such a bed but has been put off by the high prices.


Here's what Furl has to say about this model of bed: "Plus is a lovely high bed with 32cm of storage depth, that's about the height of three shoe boxes. Easy to open and close and available in 100s of different fabrics and leathers. You'll love how easy it is to get in and out of bed when yours is that bit higher too." https://www.furl.co.uk/storage-beds/range/plus


This is the Plus Continental Double 140 x 200 End Opening version. I am offering it for sale without the mattress. It does not have a headboard.


These are instructions from the manufacturer about assembly/disassembly: https://www.furl.co.uk/specs/storage-beds/disassembly.pdf As referred to in the link, it dissembles into 4 side sections, so the biggest part will be the frame with the slats. I'm happy to help you with disassembly, if you want to see the bed fully constructed first, or I can do it for you if you want. Even if you think you could get it into your place without dissembling it, I am almost certain it will be necessary to do so to remove it from my flat.


You will need to come pick it up please. I'm in Forest Hill, so a bit down the road from East Dulwich, where I used to live, hence using this forum still. I hope it's OK.


The way you lift the bed to access the storage area is by pulling a helpful cloth handle at the end of the bed. It lifts quite easily, I find, and I have next to no upper body strength (hence wanting to use the area as a gym in the future... I tried a 'bootcamp' a couple Saturdays ago and it took nearly a week to recover, this simply cannot go on).


Price... well, I want it off my hands, though I also paid 1k for it. Ugh. What a quandary. Let's say ?160 OBO and see how we go.


Thanks for reading. Oh, and let me know if you'd like more photos - I was really up against it with the ED Forum size limits with the ones I've attached.

    • Hubby had to retire from work due to serious ill health which had meant he was off work for several months at a time. His hospital consultant advised part time employment only, Signed on at Job Centre and asked them to send him on courses, especially IT has not computer literate or had a computer. Job Centre refused and insisted he applied for full time work even though he produced medical evidence from hospital and letter from previous employment detailing the reason why had medically retired him. He applied for the (then) disability allowance but was refused as not disabled enough and the fact he could work part time. Applied f or several part time jobs but when they knew of his medical history turned him down. That was 18 years ago. Disabled people who want  to work find it hard to find employment. I studied Disability and Employment in Holland as part of my degree and found at that time, the Dutch system more flexible. If a disabled person found a job part time, they still received a portion of their benefit as well as wages. If found a full time position, benefit suspended and were subject to regular reviews as to how they performed in  the job. If there were no problems, benefit was withdrawn, however if they found the work was not suited to their disability - they gave up work and went straight back to receiving their full benefit. If a disabled person finds employment, their benefits stop immediately. If they cannot maintain the work and are sacked, getting back onto benefits is very difficult, Give those who are able to work at least part time, the opportunity to have reduced benefits to top up wages.
