The Newtown Gas Lift Storage Bed packs big storage into a small footprint, hiding a roomy under bed compartment beneath a sleek upholstered base in Slate, Sandstone or Charcoal Black fabric. The spring assisted gas lift hardware does the heavy lifting, so the base pops up easily to reveal a deep compartment that fits a standard suitcase plus loads of bedding, and a bottom board closes the cavity so you do not see the floor. It is headboard ready, with four mounting points at the head end and the mounting bolts included, and every colour has a matching headboard: Slate pairs with the Fendalton and Parnell in Slate, and Sandstone and Charcoal Black pair with the Fendalton and Kingsland in the same Basalt fabric. From Dreamland, a New Zealand sleep brand, the Newtown is sized for standard New Zealand beds and comes in Double, Queen and King.

  • Serious storage: a deep under base compartment that fits a standard suitcase plus loads of bedding.
  • Easy pop up: spring assisted gas lift hardware, rated to 70 kg, does the heavy lifting.
  • A bottom board closes the cavity so you do not see the floor.
  • Headboard ready, with four mounting points at the head end and the mounting bolts included; each colour matches a Dreamland headboard (Slate: Fendalton, Parnell; Sandstone and Charcoal Black: Fendalton, Kingsland).
  • Great for apartments, townhouses and rooms short on storage, sized for NZ Double, Queen and King beds.

Good to know

What sizes does the Newtown come in, and is the mattress included?

The Newtown comes in Double (137 cm wide x 188 cm long), Queen (153 cm wide x 203 cm long) and King (167 cm wide x 203 cm long), and the mattress is not included. It is headboard ready, with four mounting points at the head end in standard New Zealand spacing, and the four mounting bolts are included.

How much can the Newtown store, and how does the gas lift work?

The Newtown has a full under base compartment, deep enough for a standard suitcase plus spare linen and seasonal gear, with a bottom board that keeps items off the floor. The spring assisted gas lift mechanism is rated to 70 kg and lifts the base smoothly; lift and lower it with the mattress on, as the mattress counterbalances the mechanism.

Is the gas lift safe to use around children?

The gas lift is spring assisted and easy to operate, but keep hands clear of the moving parts and supervise children when raising or lowering the base. Distribute stored items evenly and stay within the 70 kg rating.

What is the Newtown made of, and how do I care for it?

The Newtown is an upholstered gas lift storage bed in Slate, Sandstone or Charcoal Black fabric, on a slatted platform. Vacuum the fabric with a soft brush, spot clean spills promptly, keep it out of direct sunlight, and check the bolts and hinges periodically.

Who is the Newtown best suited to?

The Newtown suits apartments, townhouses and any room short on storage: the deep gas lift compartment swallows suitcases and bedding while keeping a small footprint, and the headboard ready design lets you add a matching headboard in the same colour. It pairs with a Dreamland mattress sized to fit.
