Declutter and organise your sleep environment with our space-saving Ottoman bed guide.

Here at Love Home Living, we are firm believers that a clutter-free bedroom is key to creating the perfect sleeping environment. After all, it has been proven by experts that decluttering reduces stress and anxiety levels, leading to an improved quality of sleep. If your bedroom has limited storage options, then the ottoman bed is fantastic for holding any surplus belongings. With a simple opening mechanism, its design provides ample storage, freeing up the need for extra furniture in your bedroom.

With so many different styles available, choosing the right ottoman bed for your bedroom and knowing whether it’s the right choice for you can be a little bewildering. Therefore, we have pulled together a simple guide for you to read before making a final decision.

How does an Ottoman bed work?

The ottoman bed frame is designed to lift upwards from underneath the mattress, revealing storage within its base. Whereas other bedframes may have drawers at the bottom, an ottoman frame utilises the space of the entire bed. Using a gas lift system, the mattress will remain safely elevated throughout use for hands-free access and will close easily after use.

What can you store inside it?

The beauty of an ottoman bed is that you can use it to store pretty much anything that you would do in a wardrobe. Bedsheets, out of season clothes, pillows, shoes or even gift wrap and craft supplies. The possibilities are endless. There are some incredible organisation ideas online on how to store items away neatly by using vacuum or fabric storage bags and boxes.

Things to consider upon buying

  • The finish

One of the biggest quality giveaways in all furniture is its finish. If you want a bed that will stand the test of time, then check for good joinery and avoid beds that use nails or predominately cheap wood. All our ottoman beds are made with high quality and durability in mind.

  • The size

From a single bedframe to a spacious super king, Ottoman beds come in a range of sizes and it is important to choose the right size for you. Always measure before you buy. Our beds come in all sizes. This stunning Rose grey ottoman bed comes in a choice of single, double, and king.

  • The opening

There are two types of ottoman beds: a foot opening or a side opening. Consider the most practical for your bedroom layout. Side opening beds are ideal for smaller spaces.

What designs are available?

Ottoman beds are excellent for maximising a small space. What’s more, there is no need to sacrifice design for practicality. There are a vast range of styles available, from a contemporary grey ottoman bed to elegant classic frames. Our beds are available in a selection of designs and many are available to be custom designed to your taste, with a choice of up to 33 fabric colours.

Choose from timeless beds with sweeping button-effect cushioned headboards such as the Rose oatmeal bedframe to striking, contemporary, frames exhibited by the Oban grey ottoman bed.

If it’s a show-stealing bed you are after, then this innovative Dale ottoman bed features stunning LED side rails with USB ports, fitting for a contemporary bedroom. Alternatively, take lazy Sunday mornings up a notch with an inviting ottoman TV bed.

The popularity of the Ottoman bed has amplified in recent years. Technology has led to smoother, lighter lift designs, and the selection of styles available have increased, meaning there is a design for every home. We pride ourselves on our stunning range of ottoman beds, all created with quality in mind.
