Ottoman Beds

Ottoman beds offer huge amounts of storage space without compromising on style and comfort. With hidden under-bed storage, ottoman beds are a great choice if you have a smaller bedroom and could use a little extra space to store bedding or clothes. Our beds with ottoman storage are available in a range of materials. Plus, with single, small double, double, king size, and super king ottoman beds to choose from, finding the right fit for your bedroom is a breeze at Bensons for Beds.

What is an ottoman bed?

An ottoman bed is a bed with ottoman storage space underneath the mattress. Our collection of ottoman bed frame designs open from either the foot of the bed, or from one of the sides. Most of our ottoman beds open using a hydraulic system.

But we also have a new and exciting electric ottoman bed that comes with a hand-held wireless remote control with a built in torch. This makes accessing the storage under the mattress super easy as it boasts fully automatic open and close functions. Plus the torch comes in handy for helping you spot the items you need.

Generally, ottoman beds – whether it’s an electric lift ottoman bed or a hydraulic ottoman bed – offer more storage space than a divan or drawer bed. This is because, ottoman bed designs allow you to make use of all the space underneath the base of the bed. Some of our ottoman bed frames do have support structures that may slightly obstruct some of the storage space, but most of our bed and ottoman bed frames offer unobstructed storage space.

If you are looking for a bed with hidden storage, then an ottoman bed could be ideal for you. They immediately provide extra room for your belongings, without needing to invest in additional furniture. This is especially handy for homes and bedrooms where floor space is restricted.

Use your ottoman storage to store additional bedding, towels and even your winter or summer wardrobe below your ottoman bed frame!

Are ottoman beds good?

At Bensons, our ottoman beds are designed to deliver both comfort and support for your body while you sleep.

As well as their comfort levels, ottoman beds are a fantastic solution if you are looking for extra storage in your bedroom.

They offer cleverly concealed under-bed storage, without compromising on style and comfort. An ottoman bed is a handy piece of furniture which will help to keep your bedroom clear from clutter.

The storage area beneath the ottoman bed is easy to access. The hydraulic lift system makes it easy to lift the base and mattress by hand and the pistons keep the bed safely open until you are ready to close the bed again. This means that your hands are free for either putting things in or removing things from the ottoman storage bed.

How to assemble an ottoman bed

The exact method for assembling an ottoman bed can vary from one model to the next.

Always follow the instructions which are provided with your chosen ottoman bed frame. We always recommend that at least two people assemble our beds so ask someone to help you assemble it if you can.

Another thing to bear in mind is that side opening ottoman bed assembly is slightly different to assembling an ottoman bed that opens at the bottom. All of the ottoman bed designs at Bensons come with detailed assembly instructions for you to follow.

Which is the best ottoman bed?

There is no one-size fits all when it comes to ottoman beds.

They are available in a range of different styles so which you choose will depend on your tastes and interior décor.

There are various colour options including green ottoman beds, wooden ottoman beds and grey ottoman beds.

Ottoman beds are available in a range of different sizes. There are single ottoman beds for kid’s bedrooms or small rooms, small double ottoman beds for teenagers, double, king size and super king ottoman beds for larger bedrooms.

What are my options when it comes to ottoman beds?

Our collection of ottoman bed frames are tailored to suit every preference. Whether you’re looking for a wooden ottoman bed or an upholstered or fabric ottoman bed, you can enjoy being spoilt for choice at Bensons.

A wooden ottoman bed is a great choice for those who appreciate natural interior design aesthetics. Wooden bed frames are a great way to create that indoor-outdoor appeal that is so popular right now.

Upholstered ottoman beds are an extremely popular choice too. This is largely because upholstered ottoman bed frames can be personalised to an extent. You can choose your preferred colour from a vast range of shades and tones to match it to your preferred design aesthetic.

A green ottoman bed is another option that lovers of the outdoor-indoor design aesthetic. At Bensons, you’ll have access to emerald green ottoman bed designs, olive green ottoman bed designs, and even green velvet ottoman bed designs too. It’s also worth mentioning that green is an ideal colour option for the bedroom thanks to its calming effects and association with nature.

But green isn’t for everyone. Perhaps a blue ottoman bed is more in-keeping with your design preferences. Set a navy blue ottoman bed against a coral coloured bedroom wall to create contrast, or pair it with white walls and blue accent accessories for a French bedroom feel. And if you’re going for all-out decadence, a blue velvet ottoman bed can really up the luxe-factor.

For those searching for the perfect grey ottoman bed, you’ll find plenty of options right here. From grey velvet ottoman bed designs to dark grey ottoman beds, there’s grey beds to suit every preference. Grey is one of those timeless colours and so it’s a great choice for an ottoman bed frame. Given that grey pairs really well with pretty much any colour imaginable, you’ll be able to swap and change the colour of your bedroom walls as often as you like without worrying about whether your grey ottoman bed will suit that new, must-have colour palette you’re suddenly drawn to.

And another obvious safe bet for those serial bedroom decorators out there is a cream ottoman bed. Cream – like grey – is a versatile colour choice that pairs perfectly with practically any bedroom colour palette. And our collection of cream ottoman beds extends to cream velvet ottoman bed designs, cream fabric ottoman bed designs, and even cream faux leather ottoman bed designs.

Whether you choose a velvet ottoman bed, a faux leather ottoman bed, a wooden ottoman bed or a fabric ottoman bed, at Bensons, we pride ourselves on offering designs to suit every preference. Pop into your local Bensons for Beds store or give our sales team a call and chat with our dedicated team of experts. We’re always happy to help you choose the ideal sleep solution for your needs and preferences.

What size ottoman bed is right for me?

Not sure what size ottoman bed you need? There are two main factors to consider when it comes to bed size and those are:

  1. Who will be sleeping in the ottoman bed?
  2. How much space do you have to accommodate your new ottoman bed frame?

If you are choosing a bed for a solo sleeper – whether it’s a child, a teenager, or an adult – a single ottoman bed could be ideal. An ottoman single bed is designed to perfectly accommodate a single mattress. In the UK, a single mattress measures 190cm x 90cm (L x W). Usually, a single ottoman bed has a side lift feature and so, to be able to access the storage underneath the ottoman bed frame, you’ll just need to ensure that there’s enough room for a person to stand beside the bed to open and close the storage space.

If you’re kitting out a box bedroom and floor space is particularly tight, a small single ottoman bed could be a better option. Small single ottoman beds have been designed to accommodate a small single mattress. Small single mattresses in the UK measure 190cm x 75cm (L x W) and can comfortably sleep one person.

For those solo sleepers that prefer a little more space when they’re sleeping, or for couples with restricted floor space in the bedroom, a small double ottoman bed is a great option. Small double beds are designed to accommodate a UK small double mattress which measures 120 x 190cm (W x L).

The go-to for many UK couples sharing a bed tends to be a double ottoman bed. Double beds have been designed to sleep two adults comfortably and are made to accommodate double mattresses perfectly. With a standard UK double mattress measuring in at 135cm x 190cm (W x L), a double bed is a great fit for even the most restrictive of master bedrooms. And a double ottoman bed frame offers plenty of storage to help you streamline your sleep haven.

When there’s two people sharing a bed, sometimes a double just doesn’t quite cut it. If this sounds all too familiar, why not upgrade to a king size ottoman bed? King size ottoman bed frames accommodate a king size mattress which measures 150cm x 200cm (W x L). That equates to some great additional sleep surface – 10cm extra in length and 15cm extra in width when compared to a UK standard double mattress. And if you have the space for it in your master bedroom, the extra room will be extremely welcome – especially for those who have children that regularly creep into their bed at night.

And just when you thought you were out of options, in walks the king of all ottoman beds. A super king ottoman bed is perfectly tailored to house a super king mattress. Super king mattresses measure 180cm x 200cm (W x L) and boast the largest area to sleep on in the UK at present. Shop our collection of super king ottoman bed frames today and find the perfect fit for your bedroom.

And for those who aren’t quite sure which bed size is the right fit for their space, our handy measuring guide should help.
