Ottoman Beds

What is an Ottoman Bed?

An ottoman bed is a unique type of 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 lifts from the side or the bottom. This makes them a space-efficient option for those who need more storage or want to keep their bedroom tidy.

What Are The Benefits of an Ottoman Bed?

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

If you have children, an ottoman bed can work well to store their toys, extra blankets and other odds and ends. Given the volume of space available, you can store pretty much anything in an ottoman.
