Sleigh bed or scroll bed: what is the difference?

A traditional sleigh bed curves outward at both the head and the foot, like the front of a sledge. A scroll bed keeps the rolled curve at the top of the headboard and usually has a lower foot end. Both take up more floor length than a plain frame, so measure the room, not just the mattress.

How to check the fit

Allow for the outer size, not the mattress size. A Porto Ottoman double needs 218cm of floor length, about 28cm more than the 190cm mattress, and you need clear space at the foot to lift the ottoman lid. Pair the bed with a mattress in the matching size from our mattress range, or browse all double bed frames and divan beds if you want a different style.

Questions people ask

Do sleigh beds come with a mattress?
No. The Porto frames are sold without a mattress. Choose a standard UK mattress: 135 x 190cm for a double, 150 x 200cm for a king or 180 x 200cm for a super king.

Is the Porto Ottoman lift-up storage?
Yes. The ottoman opens from the front, so it suits rooms where the bed sits against a wall on one or both sides. Leave space at the foot of the bed for the lid to lift.

How tall is the Porto headboard?
The Porto Ottoman headboard is 104cm high and the foot end is 30cm, so the scroll sits well above the pillows without dominating a low-ceilinged room.

Which colours are available?
Porto comes in six Opulence fabrics: Granite, Mink, Mustard, Oyster, Powder and Royal.

Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Clearpay and PayPal Pay in 3 are offered at checkout, subject to approval.
