What is an ottoman bed and what are its benefits?

An ottoman bed is a type of storage bed that lifts from the base to reveal storage space beneath the mattress. Ottoman beds are great for keeping your bedroom clutter-free and maximising the under-bed space, with the entire area free for storage use. Whether you’re short on space or love an organised room, ottoman beds are a great option for all room sizes.

How does an ottoman bed work?

An ottoman bed uses gas-lift pistons to raise the mattress and base, revealing storage the full size of the bed. Side lift beds open from the left or right and suit rooms that are tight at the foot of the bed. End lift beds open from the bottom and need clear space at the foot. Both close by lowering the mattress back down.

What are the downsides of ottoman beds?

Ottoman beds are heavier to assemble and usually need two people. A heavier mattress takes more effort to lift, so pick a frame with strong pistons if you want a deep mattress. Side lift beds need clearance beside the bed, and end lift beds need space at the foot. They cost a little more than a simple frame because of the mechanism. For most people, the extra storage is worth the trade-off.

Ottoman bed colours

Choosing the right ottoman bed colour can enhance your bedroom’s mood and décor. Pick neutrals like grey, white, cream, or beige to create a calm look, which is great for minimalist rooms. Offer a bold, contrasting tone with dark shades like black or brown.

Warm colours such as gold, orange, red, or yellow can infuse your room with energy. Meanwhile, cool tones like blue and green can add a more laid-back and serene atmosphere. Finally, add a touch of playfulness or romantic tone to your room with purple or pink ottoman beds.

Ottoman bed materials

All of our ottoman beds are made from high-quality and durable materials such as:

• Velvet Ottoman Beds - Create a rich bedroom with a velvet bed , a luxuriously soft fabric.

• Leather Ottoman Beds – Sleek and durable, leather beds add a touch of high-end, modern style.
• Wooden Ottoman Beds – Choose from wooden beds made with oak, rubberwood, or particle board for a strong ottoman bed with natural grain finishes.

What mattress can you use on an ottoman bed?

Any mattress type works on an ottoman bed, from memory foam to pocket sprung. A lighter mattress makes the base easier to lift. Browse our mattress range to find the right fit.

Should I choose a side lift or end lift ottoman bed?

Choose side lift if one side of the bed is against a wall or the foot is close to furniture; choose end lift if you have clear floor at the foot. We list 22 side-lift ottoman beds. See side lift vs end lift.

Why won't my ottoman bed close?

Usually stored items sit above the base rim, or the mattress is lighter than the gas struts are made for. See ottoman bed help or contact customer service on 01924 950108.
