Ottoman beds

The benefits of an ottoman bed

Ottoman frames are designed to enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of your bedroom, offering a variety of features that will help you fall back in love with your sleep space.  

1. Extra storage space

Beneath the mattress on any ottoman bed is a large compartment where you can store all those pesky extras – clothes, shoes, bedding, seasonal decorations, luggage, or even Christmas presents. This helps to declutter your bedroom while offering easy-to-access storage, which is ideal for keeping everything organised and out of sight. The double and king-size ottoman beds feature a storage depth of around 30cm, but you can opt for a larger bed size for even more capacity. If you’re also considering options with built-in storage, check out our divan beds with pull-out drawers or other storage beds for additional choices.

2. Easy lift mechanism

Concerned about accessibility? The hydraulic piston system makes lifting the mattress effortless, meaning anyone can easily access the storage compartment. No heavy lifting required!

3. Durable and practical design

Our ottoman beds are built to be sturdy and long-lasting, with durable frames designed to stand the test of time. Despite their generous storage capacity, they maintain a streamlined look that complements any bedroom or multifunctional space, such as a guest room. If you need a more portable solution, consider our folding beds for extra versatility.

4. Broad selection of styles

From luxurious velvet finishes to sleek faux leather and classic wooden frames, our ottoman beds come in various finishes to suit your decor. Whether you’re after a contemporary look or a more traditional design, there's an ottoman bed to match. For an elevated style with maximum storage, shadow ottomans provide the same raised-leg appearance as standard bed frames while offering convenient under-bed storage. Explore our range of sofa beds or guest beds for more solutions that fit your style.

5. Simple assembly

While ottoman beds are a bit more complex than standard frames, our easy-to-follow instructions mean they can be assembled by two people without any hassle. Check out our assembly guide for a detailed walkthrough. Alternatively, pay a small fee to have our expert service team build your bed for you in a flash.

What are the different types of ottoman storage available?

Ottoman beds come in various configurations to suit your storage needs, offering flexibility and simple access to your belongings. Here are the main types:

1. Foot-end lift ottomans - Lift the mattress from the foot of the bed to reveal generous storage underneath.
2. Side-lift ottomans - Access storage from the side with a smooth, easy-to-use lifting mechanism.
3. Two-drawer half ottomans - Enjoy the best of both worlds with pull-out side drawers and extra lift-up storage at the foot of the bed.

What’s the best mattress for an ottoman bed?

There’s no limitation on the type of mattress you can place on an ottoman bed frame. However, in addition to finding the right mattress type, it’s important to consider the size and weight. A mattress that’s too heavy could make lifting the ottoman base more difficult.  Explore our guides on different mattress types and find out which one is best for your sleeping position.
