Ottoman Beds

An ottoman bed is a unique type of lift-up storage bed. So, how do ottoman beds work? Unlike beds with built-in drawers, an ottoman uses unique mechanisms and gas-lift hydraulics to lift the bed base. This means the space underneath the bed can be used for storage.

Typically, an ottoman bed lifts from the side or the bottom. This makes them a space-efficient option for those who need extra storage space or want to keep their bedroom tidy.

Our ottoman beds are available in a range of sizes to suit your floor space and preference:

• Single Ottoman Beds (3' x 6'3"): - our single ottoman storage beds can help save on space. If your bedroom is on the smaller side or you want to opt for a cleaner, clutter-free aesthetic, then our single ottoman bed frames are the ideal storage option for those small spaces
• Small Double Ottoman Beds (4' x 6'3"): - choose a small double ottoman bed frame for efficient use of space and comfort. If you're looking for an efficient-sized bed with even more efficient storage, consider buying a small double ottoman.
• Double Ottoman Beds (4'6'' x 6'3"): - provide ample storage space whilst also being comfortable with double ottoman storage bed frames. Our ottoman bed frame uses gas-powered pistons to lift the mattress and slats, creating a lift-up storage bed with minimum effort.
• King Size Ottoman Beds (5' x 6'6"): - With our king size ottoman bed frames, you can match the benefits of king size beds with the space-saving properties of ottoman beds.

It's essential to ensure you can access the ottoman storage of your chosen bed, which means you need to make sure you get the right size. Simply work out the space needed for your ottoman bed and mattress to choose the right one. If you're confused about which size to pick then, please refer to our bed size guide and useful measuring guide.

Ottoman beds use standard mattresses, so you can simply match your ottoman mattress to the size bed you choose. So, if you opt for a single ottoman bed, you'll need a single mattress, or if you choose a double ottoman bed, you'll need a standard double. To make things a little easier for you, our ottoman beds come with the option to add your mattress whilst you're on the product page, so you can be sure your new ottoman bed and mattress are perfectly matched.

Ottoman beds have several benefits, but their major selling point is the extra storage they provide. If you have a smaller bedroom or struggle to keep it tidy, the extra space can mean the difference between having an untidy one or one Marie Kondo would be proud of.

If you have children, an ottoman bed can store their toys, extra blankets and other odds and ends. Given the space available, you can store almost anything in an ottoman. To learn more about ottoman beds' benefits, read our detailed blog on the subject: Pros and Cons of Beds With Storage.

Due to their lift-up nature, we get a lot of questions about the longevity of ottoman beds, with people asking us how secure they are or simply wondering, “will it break?” And the answer is no! If an ottoman bed is high quality and constructed correctly, they are totally safe to use, and there should be no issues. Just follow all assembly instructions correctly and take care when lifting and lowering your ottoman. For more help and advice, visit our Ottoman Buying Guide.

Although many people refer to them as divan ottoman beds, ottoman beds are in fact different from divan beds. While they share a similar wooden structure covered in a layer of wadding and fabric, ottomans have a much larger storage compartment under the mattress while a divan bed tends to feature storage drawers.

As the base of the beds lifts, ottoman beds are a good choice for smaller rooms, as they don’t need the same space around the bed to allow for drawers to open.
