Ottoman Beds

An ottoman bed is a type of storage bed that features space within the footprint of the bed to store away your belongings. Unlike divan beds, the storage space within an ottoman bed essentially takes up the entire footprint of the bed. So the larger bed you opt for, the larger the storage space you can take advantage of. 

The storage space is accessed via a lifting platform which lifts up your mattress with a simple pull up action. The mattress platform is assisted by gas powered pistons which help you to lift the platform when you need to access your belongings. They also assist you in safely lowering the platform too once you’ve finished accessing the items you’ve stored away.

Ottoman beds are available in all the UK bed sizes you’ll likely be aware of.

Double Ottoman Beds

Double ottoman beds are 135cm wide by 190cm long (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in). As the UK’s most popular size, it’s a fantastic choice for many reasons.

Measuring in at 150cm wide by 200cm long (5ft x 6ft 6in), king size ottoman beds provide plenty of space for couples, whether you like to snuggle up or sleep in your own ‘space’. They also offer a vast amount of storage space within your bed too, perfect for storing away your belongings. 

Super King Size Ottoman Beds

Whilst assembling an ottoman bed is more complex than building a divan bed and potentially a bed frame (this is a matter of perspective), it’s certainly not something you should be worried about, especially when each and every one of our ottoman beds come with helpful instructions. 

Ottoman beds essentially come in two large parts that easily clip together to form the base of your bed. The most ‘fiddly’ part and probably the most important aspect is ensuring the gas piston is assembled and installed correctly. This will ensure the ottoman bed opens effectively and safely too. 

Our helpful instructions that arrive with your ottoman bed will instruct you exactly how to ensure this step and all other aspects of assembling your ottoman bed are implemented correctly.

One of the great benefits of an ottoman bed is of course the vast storage space they provide. But all that storage space isn’t as appealing if the process of accessing it in the first place isn’t easy and straightforward. Luckily, opening and closing an ottoman bed isn’t difficult, especially with the help of the gas-assisted pistons. 

They help you to open the ottoman bed and hold it in place whilst you access your belongings. Then when you’ve finished accessing the storage space, the pistons help you to safely lower the mattress platform too. 

Ottoman beds are a safe and easy to use product as long as you’re being sensible and follow any manufacturer guidelines on weight limits. When using your ottoman bed and accessing the storage space within, be aware of your surroundings and any children or pets within the vicinity. Prevent them from playing or climbing inside the ottoman bed storage space and be sure to double check inside when closing the bed. 

Ottoman beds are designed with utmost safety in mind and have many safety features to ensure smooth, safe use for many years to come. As long as you operate them properly and follow all manufacturer guidelines on weight limits, there should be no issues.
