Ottoman beds are a type of storage bed with an ottoman mechanism that opens to reveal the spacious storage underneath the mattress and inside the bed frame. They're more spacious than a bed with drawers, as you can access the entire bed frame underneath the mattress. This also means they're ideal for smaller homes, as you don't need to worry about space to open the drawers fully.

Most ottoman storage beds feature a gas-powered hydraulic lift system that makes lifting the mattress and frame a breeze. Some ottoman beds open from the end of the bed, whereas others open from the side for extra convenience.

Given the spacious storage they offer, ottoman beds are perfect for those renting a home or looking to maximise space in a small bedroom. Want to find out more about ottoman beds? Explore our ottoman bed buying guide to answer all your questions!
