I gave my bed an £18 glow-up using an unexpected B&M buy – people say it looks like a whole new bed but £1.6k cheaper
BUYING a new bed is a huge expense that sends shivers down the spines of many.
But rather than forking out thousands on a posh faux fur bed frame, a savvy woman from the UK has shared how she gave her old bed, which she has had for the last three years, a quick and easy glow up.

The DIY enthusiast and mother, who posts online under the username 'Cosy Home Life', used bargain and very unexpected buys from B&M to transform her bed frame, costing her less than £20 in total.
Posting on social media, the cleaning fan gave her followers a close-up look at her bed frame before and after its transformation, leaving many gobsmacked.
Prior to the DIY project, the woman's bed frame was grey and velvet.
But thanks to two super soft throws, which are just £5 each from B&M, and a furry blanket, which costs only £8, this content creator was able to give her bed a fresh, neutral look.
Using the blankets and throws, this influencer was able to cover her headboard and the base of her bed, making her very own DIY covers.
Thrilled with her money-saving idea, this mother described her hack as ' budget friendly.'
Showing off the finished bed, which not only looks incredibly expensive, but seriously luxurious too, the savvy saver beamed: 'Not perfect but a lot better than it was.'
While you can buy a range of affordable bed frames from DUSK and Wayfair, a very similar style to this woman's finished project, is currently being sold at Debenhams.
The HOB Furniture Luxury Sahara Bed looks strikingly similar to this DIY fan's, but was once priced at £3,300 and has now been reduced to £1,650.
But rather than breaking the bank on the faux fur bed frame, this woman saved a jaw-dropping £1,632 thanks to her purse-friendly project.

To finish off the bed and make sure the covers are secure, the mother later added: 'Got a stapler coming as well!!'
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ cosy_homelife, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 64,600 views.
It turned out so much better than buying a whole new bed
