Stay Tidy this Spring with an Ottoman Storage Bed

Spring is the perfect time to clean and freshen your home, but finding suitable storage space can be challenging. This is where an ottoman bed can come pay dividends - not only does it offer a comfortable sleeping space, but it provides additional storage space without taking up too much room in your bedroom. 

Ottoman beds come with a storage compartment underneath the mattress, accessible by lifting the top of the bed frame. This makes it easy to store extra bedding, clothing, or other household items out of sight but still easily accessible when needed. You can maximise your storage space without sacrificing style or comfort with an ottoman bed. If you plan a bedroom upgrade in 2023, an ottoman bed will likely be the essential element that helps you create the bedroom of your dreams, and Next Divan is here to assist you.

There are several different types of ottoman beds available on the market, each offering its own unique benefits:

Side-Lift Ottoman Beds: This type of ottoman bed has a hinge mechanism on one side of the bed frame, which allows the bed to lift from the side. The benefit of this design is that it allows for easy access to the storage compartment, even if the bed is positioned against a wall.

End-Lift Ottoman Beds: End-lift ottoman beds have a hinge mechanism at the foot of the bed, making it possible to lift the entire mattress from the end. This design is great for more oversized items that might not fit through the side of the bed.

Half-Lift Ottoman Beds: Half-lift ottoman beds have a hinge mechanism that lifts up only the top half of the bed, leaving the bottom half in place. This design is perfect for those who need quick access to their belongings without lifting the entire mattress.

Ottoman Divan Beds: Ottoman divan beds have a solid base and a lift-up storage compartment built into the base rather than the frame. This design provides extra storage space without sacrificing stability or support.

Electric Ottoman Beds: Electric ottoman beds are powered by a motorised mechanism, allowing for easy lifting and lowering of the bed with just a button. This type of ottoman bed is especially beneficial for those with mobility issues, as it requires less physical effort.

Gas-Powered Ottoman Beds: This ottoman bed has a gas-powered lifting element, providing smooth and easy lifting motion. This type of bed is especially convenient for those who want a hassle-free way to access their storage compartment without manually lifting the bed.

Regarding ease of use and safety, ottoman beds have the user in mind. They come with instructions and are easy to operate, with simple mechanisms for lifting and lowering the bed. The gas-powered lifting element and electric options are especially beneficial for those with mobility issues, as they require less physical effort - and they look amazing too!

Ottoman beds are safe for people of all ages to use. The lifting mechanism is designed to be secure and stable, and the bed frame is constructed with high-quality materials to provide a sturdy and safe sleeping surface. As long as the bed is used per the manufacturer's instructions, it can provide a safe and convenient storage solution for anyone looking to maximise their bedroom space.

In the UK, ottoman beds are available in various sizes, which include:

Single Ottoman Beds: These are typically 3ft wide by 6ft 3in long (90cm x 190cm). Single ottoman beds offer additional storage space in the form of a single compartment, which can be accessed by lifting the mattress base. The storage area is usually deep and can be used to store items like bedding, clothes, or shoes.

Double Ottoman Beds: These are typically 4ft 6in wide by 6ft 3in long (135cm x 190cm). Double ottoman beds have a larger storage capacity than small double ottoman beds, with either one or two compartments. The storage areas are often divided into two, with one half being larger than the other.

King Size Ottoman Beds: These are usually 5ft wide by 6ft 6in long (150cm x 200cm). King-size ottoman beds offer even more storage space than double ottoman beds, with two compartments that are often equal in size. The storage areas can be accessed independently, which allows you to organise your items more efficiently.

Super King Size Ottoman Beds: These are typically 6ft wide by 6ft 6in long (180cm x 200cm). Super king-size ottoman beds provide the most storage space out of all the ottoman bed sizes, with two or three compartments.

In terms of popularity, double and king-size ottoman beds are the most popular choices among UK consumers. Double ottoman beds are suitable for couples who want more space than a single bed, while king-size ottoman beds offer even more space and are suitable for larger bedrooms. 

Small double ottoman beds are ideal for single sleepers who want more room to move around, while single ottoman beds are ideal for children and smaller bedrooms. Super king-size ottoman beds are less common and suitable for those with huge bedrooms who want the most storage space possible. Ultimately, the size of the ottoman bed you choose will depend on your personal needs and the size of your bedroom.
