The 100% cotton ticking stripe gives it a relaxed, lived-in quality that reads more intentional than typical upholstered bases. It's particularly clever for guest rooms or smaller bedrooms where under-bed storage feels essential, and the ottoman-style proportions work well alongside both modern and traditional frames. Fair warning: cotton ticking will show dust and requires occasional vacuuming to maintain that crisp appearance. Pair it with a simple linen headboard for maximum impact, or let it anchor a layered, textile-forward scheme.
