Product Overview

The Silentnight Standard Ottoman is a platform top divan base made in Great Britain from FSC certified timber, with end opening ottoman storage, silver glides and a range of fabrics and colours. It comes as a half ottoman with the option of 2 drawers or, on Double sizes and above, 2 continental drawers or a full end opening ottoman, with gas-assisted struts for easy lifting. A mattress and headboard are not included - the Silentnight Standard Ottoman is compatible with any standard UK mattress and is backed by a 10-year guarantee.

Who Is This Bed Base For?

A platform top divan base from Silentnight with end opening half or full ottoman storage, optional drawers, gas-assisted lift and silver glides, made in Great Britain from FSC certified timber - designed for those who want to replace a worn divan base or add hidden storage without buying a new mattress.

Best for

  • Those replacing a worn divan base - this base can be paired with an existing mattress to give the bed a new lease of life without buying a complete set
  • Those who want flexible storage - the half ottoman holds bulky items at the foot end, with the option of 2 drawers or 2 continental drawers at the head end for everyday essentials
  • Those who need maximum hidden storage - the full end opening ottoman option, available on Double sizes and above, turns the entire space beneath the platform into a single storage area
  • Bedrooms with bedside tables or fitted furniture - the continental drawer option, available on Double sizes and above, gives you head end drawers that suit tighter spaces beside the bed
  • Those who prefer a firm, stable feel beneath their mattress - the platform top provides an even surface suited to memory foam, latex and pocket sprung mattresses
  • Those who want to match their base to a specific bedroom colour scheme - fabric samples are available free of charge before you commit
  • Sleepers up to 114kg (18st) per side

Not ideal for

  • Those who need a mattress included - a bed base is the base only; mattresses are sold separately across our full range
  • Rooms with limited space at the foot of the bed - the ottoman opens from the foot end and needs clearance for the platform to lift fully
  • Those who want a sprung base feel - the platform top provides a firm, flat surface with no spring response from the base itself

Worth Knowing

  • A mattress is not included. Any standard UK mattress is compatible with this base.
  • A headboard is not included. Add a Silentnight headboard separately - compatible options are shown on the product page.
  • The gas struts assist with both lifting and closing the platform, so you can reach your stored items without taking the full weight of the mattress.
  • This base arrives partly assembled and takes approximately 30 minutes to set up. Professional assembly is available - add it at checkout and our team will build the base in your room of choice.
  • The base is delivered in two sections. Ensure there is enough access through doorways and stairs for each section.
  • Fabric samples are available free of charge - up to 5 swatches. Call 01928 242 829 or use Live Chat to order.

Inside This Bed Base

Platform Top Base
What it is: A solid wooden platform upholstered in fabric, covering the full area of the base.
How it helps you: Provides a firm, even surface that supports the mattress consistently across its full area, without any flex or variation - useful for memory foam and latex mattresses that benefit from a stable, unmoving base.

Half Ottoman Storage
What it is: A gas-strut assisted lifting section that opens from the foot end to reveal the storage cavity in the foot end half of the base.
How it helps you: Gives you a generous, easy-to-reach space for bulky items such as spare duvets, pillows and seasonal bedding, and the gas struts hold the platform open safely while you reach inside.

Full Ottoman Storage
What it is: An optional gas-strut assisted lifting top that opens from the foot end to reveal the full under-base cavity, available on Double, King Size and Super King Size.
How it helps you: The entire interior of the base becomes accessible storage - far more volume than drawers. Opening from the foot end means bedside tables never get in the way - just allow clearance at the foot of the bed.

Drawer Storage
What it is: An optional pair of drawers fitted in the head end half of the half ottoman base, alongside the foot end ottoman. On Double, King Size and Super King Size, you can choose 2 continental drawers instead.
How it helps you: Keeps everyday items such as spare sheets and blankets within easy reach without lifting the platform, while the ottoman takes care of larger items. Continental drawers suit rooms with bedside tables or fitted furniture beside the bed, where there isn't space to open a full size drawer.

Silver Glides
What it is: Silver glides are fitted to the base of the bed.
How it helps you: Allow smooth movement, protect your floors, and add a polished modern touch to the bed's design.

Colour & Fabric Options
What it is: Available in a range of colour and fabric options.
How it helps you: Allows you to find the perfect match for your bedroom's style and décor, with up to 5 free fabric samples available before you order.

How it Compares

Vs buying a complete divan set: A full divan set includes both the base and a matched mattress, chosen and tested to work together. A bed base alone is the better choice when you already have a mattress you want to keep, when you want to choose base and mattress from different brands, or when you are replacing a base that has worn out while the mattress remains in good condition. If you are buying both together and want a single coordinated purchase, a divan set removes the guesswork of pairing separately.

Vs a platform top vs a sprung base: Platform top bases provide a firm, flat surface and are compatible with all mattress types including memory foam, latex, and pocket sprung. A Firm Edge Pocket Sprung base adds a layer of spring response from the base itself, which can extend the life of the mattress by absorbing part of the daily load. If you sleep on a heavier or deeper mattress, or if your current mattress is already quite soft, a sprung base may improve both comfort and longevity. If you prefer a firm feel or sleep on a memory foam or latex mattress, a platform top is the right choice.

Vs other bases in the range: Drawer divan bases split storage into separate compartments, which suits everyday items you want to reach without lifting anything. A full ottoman base opens up the whole cavity beneath the mattress as a single space, giving the most room for bulky items you access less often. A half ottoman sits between the two, combining lift-up storage at the foot end with the option of drawers at the head end, so you get both types of storage in one base. If you would prefer a complete bed with lift-up storage built in, browse our full range of ottoman beds.

10 Year Guarantee

The Silentnight Standard Ottoman is backed by Silentnight's 10-year guarantee. A 10-year guarantee on a divan base is a strong signal of confidence in the build quality - and for an ottoman base that is lifted and lowered regularly, long-term structural integrity matters.

Awards & Accreditations

National Bed Federation (NBF) Approved - Independently verified to meet strict UK standards for quality, safety and responsible manufacturing.

FSC Certified - Independently certified confirmation that the timber used in this base has been sourced from responsibly managed forests.

Ready to Upgrade Your Base?

The Silentnight Standard Ottoman gives you a platform top divan base with end opening ottoman storage, with a choice of half ottoman, half ottoman with drawers, or full ottoman - a practical replacement base that works with any existing standard UK mattress. Made in Great Britain from FSC certified timber and backed by a 10-year guarantee, it is a base built for the long term.

    Several of the screws were missing (not the delivery driver’s fault as the bed arrived partly constructed). The screws that were installed are proud causing it to catch on things and look messy. Draws do not slide well, they catch on the edges and feel slightly off-centre on the runners. Overall not that pleased. Won’t be ordering again.

    I purchased a king size bed, half otterman and the other half has 2 full drawers. I adore my new bed base. The base is a high quality. Easy to put together. The otterman is brilliant, such a space saver.
