Viewed in profile, as welcoming as it may be, the slender line of the headboard, suspended above the floor, is no less remarkably light and dynamic thanks to its spindle shape, like a flame arching towards the heavens.
The Ultime bed successfully achieves the feat of being generous, soft, welcoming and very comfortable, while giving an extreme impression of lightness: like going to sleep on a cloud each night!
