What is an ottoman bed?
A popular storage bed variation, ottoman beds provide fantastic storage capabilities and sleeping solutions all within the same structure. These beds lift from the side or footend to reveal storage space beneath the mattress.
What is the appeal of ottoman functionality?
The underbed compartment that ottoman beds feature means space that wouldn't otherwise be utilised is catered for. This could result in less furniture, such as the need for bedside tables or storage boxes, consequently freeing floor space. Once the bed frame is raised, it remains elevated, allowing for easy access to your bedding or other room essentials at any given time.
Is this bed type suitable for me?
Size
If you already own a king size bed, you'll be aware of the sheer size of the bed. However, for those looking to upgrade from a small double or double bed, it's important you assess whether your new bed will fit in your room. Whilst the bed is likely to occupy great space, ideally, there'll be plenty of room for furniture and decor, too.
Style
This collection entirely consists of fabric upholstery, synonymous with contemporary-styled bed frames. Whilst the blue finishes represent timeless elegance and style, the fabric finish ensures our collection is tailor-made for modern bedrooms. Fortunately, the neutral hue of blue means it's likely to be a fantastic match for whatever colour scheme your bedroom features.
Requirements
If integrated storage is necessary for your new bed frame, you'll inevitably narrow your search; for instance, many of our wooden and metal bed collections comprise standard structures. If storage beds don't appeal to you and your room already features a variety of storage functionality, you may want to expand your search.
What else should I consider?
Headboard style
Tall headboards accompany our collection's beds, meaning they're likely to stand out and capture the room's attention. With this in mind, ensuring your chosen bed features a headboard that aligns with your preferred style is important. We feature designs ranging from elegant curved wing styles to timeless buttoned styles.
Solid or sprung slats
The bed's wooden slats will offer differing comfort and support depending on whether you opt for a bed with solid or sprung slats. Solid slats contribute towards a firm mattress feel, whereas sprung slats provide a 'bouncier feel'.
What brands can I choose from?
Furniture Express, GFW, Birlea and Julian Bowen complete our wonderful collection.
