Sizes Available – Single, small double, double, king and super king ottoman beds in stock. Larger sizes provide significantly more under-bed storage volume — a king ottoman typically offers 30–40% more storage than a double.
Upholstery Options – Fabric ottomans in grey, cream, blue and green velvet; leather and faux leather in black, brown and white. Headboard styles from plain panel to deep-buttoned tufting.
Opening Direction – Most ottoman beds open from the foot end, requiring clearance at the base to lift. Some models offer side-opening variants if foot-end access is restricted by your room layout — check the product listing for available options.

Tip: Measure your bedroom doorway and hallway width before ordering — ottoman bed frames are substantial pieces that need careful routing through your home during delivery. Most manufacturers provide full box dimensions on the product listing so you can check access routes in advance.

FAQs on Ottoman Beds

Whats the difference between a divan bed and an ottoman bed?

Ottoman beds lift via gas pistons to reveal underbed storage across the entire base, while divans have side drawers offering less capacity. Ottomans suit smaller bedrooms needing maximum storage; divans are easier to assemble and move. Both work well—choose based on your storage needs and bedroom layout.

What mattress do I need for an ottoman bed?

Ottoman beds require shallow, purpose-designed mattresses, typically 15–20cm deep, which fit snugly into the raised base. Standard 25cm mattresses wont work properly and compromise comfort and safety. Check your beds specifications for exact depth requirements before purchasing a replacement mattress.

Are ottoman beds suitable for small bedrooms?

Yes, ottoman beds are excellent for small spaces. They maximise storage without consuming extra floor area, eliminating the need for separate wardrobes or under-bed boxes. The entire base lifts to reveal generous compartments, making them ideal for compact bedrooms where storage and space-saving are priorities.

How do I maintain an ottoman bed to prevent mould?

Ensure your bedroom has good ventilation and avoid blocking airflow around the bed. Wipe the base regularly with a dry cloth and leave the storage open occasionally to air it out. Use breathable bedding, avoid storing damp items, and maintain room humidity below 50% to prevent mould growth.

How long does an ottoman bed last?

A well-made ottoman bed lasts 10–15 years with proper care. Quality materials, sturdy gas pistons, and a solid wooden frame extend lifespan significantly. Regular cleaning, proper ventilation, and avoiding overloading the storage compartments help maintain structural integrity and functionality throughout its life.

What fabrics work best for ottoman beds?

Durable, stain-resistant fabrics like polyester blends, microsuede, and performance fabrics suit ottoman beds well. Grey and neutral tones hide marks effectively. Avoid delicate fabrics like linen if you have pets or children. Choose breathable materials to support airflow and reduce moisture buildup in the storage base.

What size ottoman bed do I need for my room?

Ottoman beds come in single (90cm), double (135cm), and king (150cm) widths. Measure your bedroom—allow 60cm clearance on each side for comfortable movement. Consider ceiling height too, as the beds profile with a mattress is typically 40–50cm. Double beds suit most master bedrooms; singles work for childrens rooms.

Are ottoman beds worth the money?

Ottoman beds offer strong value if storage is a priority. The space gained often eliminates the need for dressers or wardrobes, offsetting the initial cost. Theyre durable, lasting 10–15 years, and work well in smaller homes. However, if you rarely need storage, a standard bed frame may be more economical.

Can I use an ottoman bed in a guest bedroom?

Yes, ottoman beds work brilliantly in guest rooms. They provide hidden storage for spare bedding, pillows, and seasonal items, keeping the room tidy. Choose a double or single based on space; the storage means guests wont need additional furniture, maximising comfort and usable floor area in compact guest rooms.

Whats easier to use: an ottoman bed or drawer storage?

Ottoman beds are easier to access—gas pistons make lifting effortless, even with a full mattress. Drawers require bending and pulling, which is tiring with heavy items. However, ottoman storage suits long-term storage (bedding, duvets), whilst drawers work better for frequently accessed items. Choose based on storage habits.
