Ottoman beds combine smart storage and stylish design, making them the perfect choice for maximising bedroom space without compromising on comfort. With a lift-up storage base, you'll find generous hidden space for bedding, clothing, or anything you want neatly tucked away. At Land of Beds - trusted bed and mattress experts for over 50 years - we stock one of the UK's widest ranges of Ottoman storage beds, available in sizes from single to super king. Whether you're furnishing a compact guest room or upgrading your master bedroom, our expert team can help you find the right Ottoman bed to suit your style, space, and budget.
An Ottoman bed is a clever storage solution that combines a comfortable bed frame with a large hidden compartment under the mattress.
Maria, Bed and Mattress Expert at Land of Beds says, "Instead of sliding drawers, the entire mattress base lifts up on gas-assisted hinges, revealing a spacious storage area that’s perfect for bedding, seasonal clothing, shoes, or anything else you want to keep out of sight. They come in a huge range of designs, from luxe upholstered frames to minimalistic wooden styles. If you're tight on space or just want a tidier bedroom, an ottoman bed is a great option."
Choosing the right size ottoman bed depends on your bedroom dimensions, and how much storage you actually need. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:
Bed size - Dimensions (cm) - Space per person (cm)
Maria says, "Always measure your bedroom carefully before buying. You need to ensure there is enough clearance not just for the bed, but to comfortably lift the base. Remember, the storage space inside is deceptively large — even a double can hold far more than you'd expect."
Ottoman beds are available at virtually every price point, but how much you spend will usually have an impact on the quality of the materials.
Here’s a breakdown:
Budget - What you get
£150 - £500: Budget-friendly models that offer lasting durability and great storage. These are typically simple, single or small double frames that are perfect for guest rooms.
£600 - £1,200: Mid-range models often include better fabrics, sturdier gas-lift mechanisms, and more stylish finishes. They’re great for everyday use in a master bedroom.
£1,200+: Premium designs with luxury upholstery, larger sizes (like super king), and high-end finishes. These frames are built to last and act as a statement piece in any bedroom.

Yes - but it' a gradual process, not something that happens all at once. With regular use, the gas inside the pistons can slowly reduce in pressure. When that happens, you might notice the bed feels heavier to lift or doesn't stay up on its own as easily. The good news is that the pistons are designed to be replaceable.
