What is an ottoman bed frame?
An ottoman is a storage bed variation featuring integrated storage space underneath the mattress that is accessible via the frame's side or footend. Once raised, the bed remains elevated, allowing you to access your storage easily. Ottoman storage places less emphasis on other storage furnishings, such as bedside tables and blanket boxes.
Should I consider a bed from this collection?
Style, size and whether integrated storage is essential are all important considerations before purchasing a bed from this collection.
A double bed
Whichever bed you settle on, it must be a suitable fit for your bedroom. Ideally, the bed won't take up too much room and restrict available space for furnishings and decor. If you share a bed yet are conscious of your room's space, consider a small double bed as a space-saving alternative.
A blue finish
All the beds included in this collection feature fabric upholstery, commonly associated with contemporary-styled bedrooms. However, the elegance and neutral hue of blue make it a viable option for traditional bedrooms. Blue is also incredibly versatile, meaning a blue ottoman bed will likely match various colour schemes. However, if you're looking for a bright and vibrant bed, consider our pink, yellow or orange beds.
Ottoman storage
Ottoman beds are innovative sleeping solutions and actively encourage tidy bedrooms; however, you may find that ottoman storage is a luxury rather than a necessity. If you're buying a bed for a spare bedroom or your room already features ample storage facilities, you may not require a storage bed.
Other considerations
Headboard style
The bed's headboard will likely capture the room's attention. With this in mind, opt for a bed with a headboard style and design representing your room's vision. Buttoned detailing adds a timeless elegance to the room, whereas wing-styled headboards are considered incredibly opulent and glamorous.
Sprung or solid slats
These terms relate to the wooden slats on the base of the bed beneath the mattress. Sprung slats contribute towards a 'bouncier feel' whilst solid slats accentuate the mattress's firmness.
