Divan Ottoman Beds

Divan Ottoman Beds – Smart Storage Without Compromise 

Our divan ottoman beds are designed for those who need extra storage without sacrificing comfort or style. Built with a strong base bed construction, these beds provide excellent mattress support while offering easy-access under-bed storage—perfect for modern UK living. 

The end lift storage bed mechanism allows the mattress platform to lift smoothly, revealing a spacious compartment ideal for storing bedding, clothing, and household essentials. Whether you are furnishing a compact bedroom or simply want a clutter-free space, an ottoman storage bed is a practical and stylish solution. 

What sets divan beds apart from ottoman beds?

At first glance, divan and ottoman beds may look similar, but their storage and construction have key distinctions.

A divan bed typically features a sturdy, upholstered base—often in two sections for larger sizes—with optional storage drawers built into the sides or foot. This traditional design offers handy storage without altering the basic structure of the bed.

In contrast, an ottoman bed is all about maximising under-bed space with a built-in lift mechanism—usually gas-assisted—that allows the entire mattress platform to rise up, unveiling a generous storage compartment beneath. Rather than relying on fixed drawers, ottoman beds let you access all the space under the bed, making them especially useful for storing bulky items.

It’s worth noting that some divan beds can incorporate an ottoman-style lift, blending both concepts into one versatile piece, but the hallmark of an ottoman bed is its full-lift storage solution. Both styles offer practical options, but your choice comes down to the type and amount of storage you’re after.

How Much Storage Space Can You Expect from an Ottoman Bed?

When it comes to maximizing bedroom storage, ottoman beds are in a league of their own. Unlike traditional divans with drawers, ottoman beds make full use of the entire base area beneath your mattress. The result? Significantly more storage compared to beds limited by drawer sizes or awkward access.

With an ottoman design—whether it lifts from the end or the side—you get a single, uninterrupted storage compartment that stretches across the whole footprint of the bed. This means you can tuck away bulky bedding, out-of-season clothing, or even suitcases with ease, all while keeping your space looking sleek and uncluttered.

Here’s how ottoman beds stack up against conventional storage beds:

• Full Base Utilization: While drawer beds may only use a portion of the frame, ottoman beds turn the entire base into usable storage space—ideal for maximizing every square inch, especially in tighter rooms.
• No Drawer Clearance Needed: Forget about leaving room to pull out drawers. Ottoman mechanisms open upward, so you can place your bed flush to a wall or alongside other furniture and still have instant access to what’s underneath.
• Suitable for All Ages: Whether you’re organizing toys in a child’s bedroom or freeing up wardrobe space in a master suite, ottoman beds offer the most generous under-mattress storage solution available.

In short, if your top priority is spacious, easily accessible storage, ottoman beds offer more capacity than any other storage bed design—making them an excellent choice for both space-tight city flats and anyone craving a tidy, serene bedroom.

Popular Styles and Design Choices

When it comes to ottoman beds, style is never an afterthought. You’ll find these beds available in a wide selection of designs, making it easy to match your décor and personal taste. Choose from plush velvet finishes for a touch of elegance, sleek faux leather for a modern look, or the ever-popular woven rattan for a hint of natural texture. Prefer something that stands out? Opt for bold contemporary hues, or keep things versatile with classic grey, beige, or navy.

Ottoman beds are also ideal for spaces that need to evolve—think children’s rooms that require both practical storage and a design that ages beautifully. From sophisticated button-tufted headboards to minimalist, clean-lined frames, there’s an ottoman bed to suit any age and aesthetic.

Choosing the Right Mattress for Your Ottoman Bed

When selecting a mattress for your ottoman bed, there are a couple of important points to keep in mind to ensure both comfort and functionality.

• Weight Matters:
  Choose a mattress that has enough weight to keep the bed stable when lifting the storage compartment—but not so heavy that it makes opening and closing the gas-lift mechanism difficult. Most modern memory foam and pocket sprung mattresses are suitable.
• Recommended Depth:
  To get the most out of your ottoman storage, we recommend opting for a mattress up to 32cm deep. This helps prevent any issues with the lifting action or the mattress pressing against the headboard, making storage access smooth and hassle-free.

By considering the right weight and depth, you’ll enjoy a seamless experience with your ottoman bed—combining easy storage access with restful sleep.

Innovative Features for Modern Living

For those seeking more than just storage, ottoman beds can include a host of smart, space-saving innovations. Some styles offer integrated TV lift mechanisms at the footend—perfect for enjoying your favourite shows from the comfort of bed with a sleek hideaway solution. Others come equipped with built-in bookcase headboards, providing easy access to books, décor, or nighttime essentials right where you need them. These thoughtful touches add a contemporary edge and extra convenience, making your ottoman bed a true multi-functional centrepiece in any modern bedroom.

How to Assemble Your Ottoman Bed (and Top Tips for Easy Self-Assembly)

Setting up your new ottoman bed is straightforward, even if it’s your first time tackling a self-assembly project. Here’s how to make the process smooth and stress-free:

Preparation is Key

• Unbox all components in a spacious area to avoid clutter.
• Double-check you have every part and all fixings listed in your instructions—if anything’s missing, our support team is happy to help.
• Keep a Phillips screwdriver and rubber mallet handy; most ottoman beds require standard tools.

Step-by-Step Assembly

1. Read Through the Instructions: Before diving in, familiarise yourself with the full assembly guide included with your bed.
2. Assemble the Divan Base: Connect the base sections securely, ensuring all fittings are tightened. Some models use simple metal clips or bolts for extra stability.
3. Install the Hydraulic Lift Mechanism: Attach the gas-lift arms according to the instructions. These allow for easy and smooth lifting of the mattress platform, making storage access effortless.
4. Fit the Mattress Platform: Carefully align the platform over the base and connect to the lift mechanism. Test the lifting action without a mattress to ensure everything moves freely.
5. Secure Upholstery Panels (if applicable): Many ottoman divans include panels or covers for a polished, modern finish—simply slot or Velcro these into place.

Self-Assembly Tips

• Work on a soft surface, like a rug, to protect both your floors and the bed frame.
• Tighten all fittings once the bed is fully assembled, checking for wobble or unevenness.
• Two people make light work—a helping hand is especially useful when lifting the base or attaching the mattress platform.
