It’s why we offer a wide range of Ottoman Beds and we’re seeing them grow in popularity - stylish, comfortable and with ample storage space underneath.
What are Ottoman Storage Beds, and where did they originate from?
Ottoman storage beds are a type of bed that has built-in storage space underneath the mattress. The storage area is accessed by lifting the mattress using a hydraulic or manually assisted lifting system, revealing a spacious storage compartment.
The Ottoman bed is said to have originated in the Ottoman Empire during the 18th century, where it was used as a seating furniture piece that could also double up as a bed. Over time, the Ottoman bed evolved, and the storage feature was added making it an ideal space-saving solution for modern homes. Today, Ottoman storage beds are becoming increasingly popular due to their versatility, functionality, and style, maximising the space the take up and doubling as furniture combined with storage.
How have modern-day Ottoman Beds evolved?
Modern-day ottoman beds have evolved in many ways since their inception in the Ottoman Empire. One significant change is the addition of built-in storage space, which has become the defining feature of these beds. The storage compartment beneath the mattress provides ample space for storing bedding, clothing, and other items, making them a practical and space-saving solution for smaller homes.
Additionally, modern ottoman beds are available in various styles, materials, and sizes to suit different tastes and requirements. They come in various designs, including platform, upholstered, and wooden beds. Furthermore, manufacturers have developed various mechanisms to lift the bed's storage area, such as gas lift pistons and hydraulic lifts, making them easier to use.
Modern-day ottoman beds have become more functional, stylish, and practical for today's homeowners.
How does the gas-assist lift section work with Ottoman Beds?
All our Ottoman Storage Beds here at Sloomy use a gas-assist lift in the frame. This uses light and simple gas struts inside the bed frame to assist with the lifting motion.
When the user pulls the handle or presses the button to lift the bed, the gas struts are activated, which helps to counterbalance the weight of the mattress and the storage items. This makes it easier to lift the bed, as the mechanism takes on most of the lifting effort, all it needs it a simple push or pull to engage the struts to take the weight of the bed and mattress.,
A gas-assist lift section is a popular option for ottoman beds because it is effortless to use, and the mechanism should last for a long time. Additionally, it ensures that the lifting motion is smooth and controlled, making it safer and more comfortable for the user. Overall, the gas-assist lift section is an excellent feature for ottoman beds, making accessing the storage compartment much easier and more convenient.
