  • Budget: Set a budget and stick to it. Ottoman beds come in a wide range of prices, so determine how much you're willing to spend before shopping. Our selection has been carefully selected to fit most budgets.
  • Colour: Choose a colour that complements your existing bedroom decor or opt for a neutral shade that can easily blend with different colour schemes.

Pros and Cons of Ottoman Beds

Ottoman beds, which feature a storage compartment beneath the mattress that can be accessed by lifting the bed frame, have become increasingly popular due to their space-saving capabilities and practicality. Here are some pros and cons of ottoman beds:

Pros

Space-saving: Ottoman beds are ideal for small bedrooms or rooms with limited storage space. The under-bed storage compartment provides a convenient solution for storing extra bedding, clothing, shoes, or other items, reducing clutter in the room.

Versatility: Ottoman beds come in various styles, sizes, and materials, making them versatile enough to complete any bedroom decor. They can be upholstered in fabric, leather, or faux leather to match different interior design choices.

Easy access: The gas-lift mechanism of ottoman beds allows for easy access to the storage space, as the bed frame can be lifted with minimal effort. This makes it convenient to retrieve stored items whenever needed.

Supportive: Ottoman beds typically feature a sturdy base and solid construction, providing good support for the mattress and ensuring a comfortable sleeping experience.

Cons

Cost: Ottoman beds tend to be more expensive than traditional bed frames due to the additional feature of the storage compartment and the gas-lift mechanism. The cost can vary depending on the size, material, and brand of the bed. That said, they are becoming increasingly affordable, with some of our featured beds costing less than £300.

Assembly: Some ottoman beds may require assembly, which can be time-consuming and may require additional tools or assistance. Proper assembly is essential to ensure the stability and functionality of the bed frame.

Weight limit: The storage compartment of ottoman beds has a weight limit, and exceeding this limit can cause damage to the bed frame or affect its functionality. It's important to stick to the manufacturer's guidelines regarding weight restrictions.

Limited accessibility: While ottoman beds provide convenient storage space, accessing items stored beneath the mattress may require lifting the entire bed frame, which can be challenging for some individuals, especially if the mattress is heavy. Side-lift ottomans are much more accessible than ones that lift from the end.

Potential for trapped items: Care should be taken when storing items in the under-bed compartment to prevent them from getting trapped or damaged when lifting or lowering the bed frame. Items should be properly organised and secured to avoid any accidents or damage.

Overall, ottoman beds offer practical storage solutions and space-saving benefits, making them an excellent choice for many bedrooms. However, it's essential to consider the potential drawbacks and ensure that an ottoman bed meets your specific needs and preferences before buying.
