It comes in a classy grey material, with a sturdy build.
However, it arrived totally flat-packed.
So how does it compare to the best bed frames?
I was pleased that I felt supported on this frame.
This is the colour of the plush material that upholsters the frame.
It was a total pain to assemble though.
The Zoma Livingstone arrives in three boxes, flat-packed.
It took three hours for two of us to put it together.
Priced just under 1,000, is the Zoma Livingstone for you?

Zoma Livingstone bed frame review: design & materials
The Zoma Livingstone is an ottoman-style bed frame.
This means that there is integrated under-bed storage which is accessed by a lifting mechanism.
This material is sumptuous to the touch, and easy on the eye.
Its not available in any other colour.
The frame is also the only one in the Zoma bed frame range to offer storage.
The only sizes that the Zoma Livingstone is available in are double and king size.
The double measures 145 x 204cm and king-size measures 160 x 214cm.
The headboard height is 110cm on both available frame sizes.
To sleep on it was solid.
I didnt notice any noise from the bolts (or other components) when turning in the night.
The Zoma Livingstone is suitable for all types of mattress (hybrid, foam or innerspring).
One of the most attractive aspects of the Zoma Livingstone was, for me, the storage underneath.
Everything stayed in place when lifting the bed.
The customer service was seamless, from that point of view.
The Zoma Livingstone arrived in three boxes.
I wasnt expecting this.
The delivery drivers wouldnt carry the boxes up our stairs; it was delivered to our hallway, only.
There was no option to upgrade.
The boxes were big and heavy to carry up the stairs.
Although I managed to do this on my own, I advise that two people carry the boxes.
Assembly of the Zoma Livingstone was made difficult by the unclear instructions, and components not being marked.
All the nuts, bolts and washers were mixed together, and there were three different sizes of them.
With the help of my mum, it took almost three hours to assemble the Zoma Livingstone.
Had partial assembly been a delivery upgrade, it would have been welcome.
I struggled to get the lifting mechanism to work.
At first, I thought it was broken.
This issue was resolved and I was able to reach the storage beneath.
The Zoma Livingstone comes with a one-year warranty.
Should you buy the Zoma Livingstone bed frame?
There are much more affordable options to choose from.
You dont do flat-pack:Just dont get the Zoma Livingstone if you dont like flat-pack.
It’s a hefty piece of bedroom furniture that took three hours for two people to assemble.
How I tested the Zoma Livingstone bed frame
I slept on the Zoma Livingstone for 4 weeks.
I assembled it myself (with my mum’s help) and have used it to store bed linen.
I tested it in the king-size frame, alongside the Zoma Hybrid mattress.
