Reasons Why Your Bed Needs Upgrading to an Ottoman Bed

Published

Is your bedroom bursting at the seams? Piles of spare bedding, seasonal clothes, and bits and bobs can make even the tidiest room feel cramped.

The good news is there’s a simple fix.

Upgrading to an ottoman bed gives you a comfortable place to sleep and a huge amount of hidden storage, all in one clever design.

At Better Bed Company, we’ve spent over 30 years helping people create tidier, more stylish bedrooms.

If you’d like a hand picking the right bed, our friendly team is ready to help.

Just call us on 08000467616 or email customercare@betterbedcompany.uk, and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Here are the top reasons to make the switch.

Massive Hidden Storage

This is where an ottoman really shines.

A standard drawer bed only gives you a few small compartments down the sides.

An ottoman bed gives you the entire space beneath your mattress.

That means you can store far more, including:

  • Spare duvets, pillows, and bedding
  • Seasonal coats and clothing
  • Long items that won’t fit anywhere else
  • Bags, boxes, and anything you’d rather hide away

Because the storage runs the full length and width of the bed, a storage bed like this can help you reclaim a whole cupboard.

Fewer piles, less clutter, and a calmer room.

Easy to Open

Worried it’ll be hard work lifting the base? There’s no need.

Ottoman beds use gas piston hinges that do the heavy lifting for you, so raising the base takes barely any effort.

Once it’s open, you have full access to everything inside. Lower it back down and it all disappears from sight.

Stylish Designs to Suit Any Room

A bed with storage doesn’t have to look bulky or plain. Far from it.

You’ll find designs in soft fabric, luxurious velvet, and warm, natural wood or oak.

Try white for a bright, spacious feel in smaller rooms, grey for a cool contemporary look, or oak for rustic charm.

Pair your new bed with matching bedside tables and bedding to pull the whole space together.

Side-Lift and End-Lift Options

Not every room has the same shape or ceiling height.

That’s why ottoman beds come with two handy opening styles.

End-lift beds raise from the foot, while side-lift models open from the side.

Side-lift designs are perfect for tighter rooms or spaces with awkward layouts, so you always have room to reach your things.

Easier Cleaning

Cleaning under a normal bed is a real nuisance. With an ottoman, it’s simple.

Lift the base and you can sweep, dust, and vacuum in seconds. Less trapped dust means a fresher, more hygienic bedroom all round.

Available in Every Size

Whatever your room, there’s a size to match.

Choose from single ottomans for guest and children’s rooms, right up to spacious super king designs for the master bedroom.

You’ll find double and king size options too, so couples and single sleepers are equally well covered.
