How to open a single ottoman bed?

Most single ottoman beds use gas-assisted lifting mechanisms that help support the weight of the mattress, making the base easy to lift and lower.

Depending on the model, the single ottoman bed frame may open from the end of the bed or from the side. Once lifted, the base stays securely open so you can comfortably access the storage space underneath.

How much storage space does an ottoman single bed provide?

An ottoman single bed with storage usually provides access to the full internal space of the bed frame because the base lifts completely. This means the interior of the bed frame can be used for storage.

Most single ottoman storage beds offer between 200 and 600 litres of storage, depending on the design. This makes them ideal for storing bedding, clothes, shoes, or other bulky household items.

Can any mattress be used with ottoman single beds?

Most standard UK single mattresses can be used with a single ottoman bed frame, but mattress weight is important to consider.

Each single ottoman storage bed has a recommended maximum mattress weight to ensure the lifting mechanism works smoothly. Very heavy mattresses may make the base harder to lift, so it’s always best to check the product description or manufacturer guidelines.

Do single ottoman beds come with headboards?

Yes, all of our single ottoman bed frames come complete with a matching headboard. This ensures your bed has a consistent, stylish look while still providing the hidden storage benefits of a single ottoman bed with storage.
