Perhaps they need to have a support pole like when you open a bonnet?
That’s a sad way to die, especially as I have one in my house.
Do we know what type of Ottoman and where it was bought from?
If pistons are failing then that’s not good as these are a very common type of bed.
I’d like to die at home in my own bed, but not quite like this.
Oh my god, what a horrifying way to die. And her poor daughter finding her like that, trying to save her mother.. This should never happen. Her poor kids.
Poor lady. I’m struggling to visualise how this could’ve happened though.
Had one but the mattress being tempurpedic 30cm was too heavy to safely hold up. Is this (or similar) what happened here? Because there is no mention of brand which makes me think they are not at fault or did I not notice it
Never heard of this type of bed? Is it like a fold out settee?
That poor woman and her poor daughter. This is honestly so bloody sad
I did think my ottoman resembled a bit of a cage when assembling its slats.
