Description
Want a bed with a super power? Newtown won’t leap buildings, but it will tidy a whole lot of life into its under base storage. The spring assist gas struts (70 kg rating) make lifting smooth and simple — the mattress acts as a counterweight so you don’t need brute strength. Inside, a full bottom board keeps everything off the floor and dust free, with room for linen, winter duvets, sports gear or that suitcase you only use once a year. Upholstered in Slate for a calm, modern look, and headboard ready to pair perfectly with our Fendalton or Parnell headboards in the same fabric.
Why Kiwis love it
- Serious storage: Deep compartment fits a standard suitcase plus loads of bedding.
- Easy pop up: Gas lift, spring assist hardware (rated to 70 kg) does the heavy lifting.
- Clean + dust safe: Bottom board closes the cavity so you don’t see the floor.
- Calm modern look: Slate fabric suits most interiors and matches Fendalton/Parnell headboards.
- Headboard ready: Standard NZ bolt slot spacing for quick attachment.
- Everyday practical: Great for apartments, townhouses and rooms short on storage.

FAQ
How big is the storage space?
It’s deep enough for a standard suitcase, plus spare linen and seasonal gear.
Do I need a headboard?
Optional. Newtown is headboard ready and colour matches our Fendalton and Parnell headboards in Slate.
Is it hard to lift?
No — the gas lift and spring assist make it smooth with the mattress in place.
Will my mattress work?
Yes — Newtown suits most standard NZ mattresses. For best performance, use a flat, supportive mattress (not excessively heavy).
