Review: The Sleepeezee Casablanca Divan Bed
I’m sure you’ll agree that historically all divan beds have looked very similar. Well, not any more. The new Sleepeezee Casablanca Bed looks unique and has a number of stunning features.
I’ve been nagging Sleepeezee to supply us with a test Casablanca since the first time I saw it, and on Monday, it arrived. A brand new, 5FT Kingsize Sleepeezee Casablanca, in all its glory.
Sleepeezee Casablanca Bed
On first impression, the Casablanca is striking. The black base and mattress sides let you know that there is something special about this bed before you even get a chance to lie on it.
Once unwrapped, I noticed a few quality features Sleepeezee add to their products that other manufacturers seem to forget.
Chrome guides: Sleepeezee opted not to include standard black plastic castors on this range of beds. Instead they have used a more durable chrome guide. The contemporary look of the Casablanca is carried through onto the trim of the bed, which is also covered in Chrome.
Foam encapsulated mattress: Foam encapsulation is a relatively new idea in the world of beds and Sleepeezee have used it on the Casblanca mattress. In effect, foam encapsulation protects the spring unit and adds support on the edge of the mattress.
1200 pocket springs in the 5FT. I love pocket sprung mattresses. You get the benefit of all-over comfort and if you sleep with a partner, you don’t have to feel them toss and turn. 1200 pocket springs is a very respectable amount for a medium tension mattress and makes the Casablanca very comfortable to lie on.
47mm memory foam layer. The Sleepeezee Casablanca has a layer of memory foam on top of the spring unit. I’ll be honest, I don’t like memory foam because it makes me feel hot, so this is the one feature of this mattress that I could do without. That said, it does make the bed feel very comfortable to lie on.
Woollen tufts. As with all quality mattresses, the Casablanca has woollen tufts to support the frame. Poorly tufted mattresses can be uncomfortable to lie on, but that isn’t the case on this mattress. The tufts are well finished and unnoticeable.
14-inch platform top. Our demo unit didn’t have any storage drawers, so I can’t comment on the storage quality. However, there are 2 drawer, 4 drawer and 4 drawer-conti storage options available on the double and kingsize beds, with 2 drawer options on the single beds.
Is the Sleepeezee Casablanca Bed right for you?
If you’re looking for a bed with a contemporary design and a medium tension, this bed will grace any bedroom. Bear in mind that it also has a memory foam layer though, as this may be a factor in your decision.
