What is an ottoman storage bed?
An ottoman storage bed is a frame with a lift-up mattress base that reveals hidden storage. The gas-lift mechanism holds the platform open for hands-free access. It turns wasted under-bed space into one large, usable compartment.
Storage capacity and sizes
Ottoman beds deliver significantly more storage than drawer beds or divans. Most models use the entire footprint beneath the mattress for storage, offering large, uninterrupted space.
Single ottoman storage beds
Single ottoman beds suit narrow rooms and student flats. Expect internal storage around 70–90cm wide and deep enough for boxes and bedding. They free up wardrobe space without crowding the room.
Double ottoman storage beds
Double ottoman beds give large storage for couples or families. Typical double dimensions in the UK run about 135–156cm wide. *You can store seasonal wardrobes and several large duvets.*
King-size ottoman storage beds
King-size ottoman beds offer the most under-bed room. Their internal area often equals a walk-in wardrobe alternative. If you own bulky items, a king ottoman solves storage problems efficiently.
Gas-lift mechanics: safety and ease
Gas-lift pistons make opening and closing smooth and safe. Quality pistons lock in place and support the mattress without strain. *Test the lift mechanism before purchase to ensure reliable operation.*
Maintenance requires occasional hinge checks and light lubrication. Most UK sellers offer warranties covering piston failure for a set period.
Fabrics, styles, and finishes
Ottoman beds come in velvet, chenille, faux leather, and woven fabrics. Velvet adds a luxurious touch, while faux leather suits modern, low-maintenance rooms. Choose a finish that complements bedroom decor and hides wear.
Headboard styles vary from button-tufted to sleigh and wingback. Match fabric and headboard height to room scale for balanced proportion.

How to choose the right ottoman bed for a small Wakefield bedroom
Measure your room and doorways before buying. The mattress base must clear the doorway and hall turns for delivery. Choose a side-lift if ceiling height or mattress weight restricts head-to-foot lifts.
Select lighter fabrics and lower headboards for compact rooms to keep sightlines open. Use the storage to replace bulky bedroom furniture.
Price ranges and deals
Expect entry prices from around £360, with mid-range models up to £900 and premium beds higher. Adeline Waterson currently lists many models between £359.99 and £409.99 after discounts, showing significant savings for Wakefield shoppers.
Look for free delivery and assembly offers. These add value and simplify setup in tight spaces.
