What is an ottoman bed?

Ottoman beds are a type of storage bed with an ottoman mechanism that opens to reveal the spacious storage underneath the mattress and inside the bed frame.

Do I need a special mattress for an ottoman bed?

 

No, an ottoman bed can use the same type of mattress as a normal bed frame. All you need to ensure is that the mattress is heavy enough to provide the necessary weight to make opening and closing the frame easy and not too high to make opening the frame a problem. Thankfully, most mattresses available will work perfectly well with your ottoman bed if you buy the right size!

What are the benefits of an ottoman bed?

Ottoman beds feature plenty of useful benefits that make them a must-have for any home, including:

• Spacious storage - Ottoman beds offer the entire frame underneath the mattress, the largest storage space in a bed! The larger the bed size you choose, the more space you have!

• Stylish designs - Our ottoman beds come in all the most popular styles, from on-trend rattan to elegant velvet in various must-have colours that will give your bedroom the wow factor.

• Easy to use - Accessing the storage space inside an ottoman bed is easy, as they feature a handle that can be used to lift the frame. Once you start to lift, the gas-powered hydraulic system kicks in and reveals the whole space! Closing them is equally simple, as the weight of your mattress helps to push the frame down.

• Innovative features - Some of our ottoman beds feature technology that will make your bedroom the number one spot in your home, from TV lift mechanisms in the footboard to useful bookcase shelves in the headboard.

 

Do ottoman beds break easily?

No, if you use an ottoman bed as instructed and have followed the assembly instructions, it should not break easily. Ottoman beds are designed to be safe and easy to use, but you need to make sure that you follow all instructions closely!

 

Are ottoman beds the same as divan beds?

Divan beds are a specific bed design, whereas an ottoman bed is simply a type of storage bed. Just like you can have storage drawers on a divan bed, you can also have an ottoman mechanism in a divan bed!
