What’s the difference between an ottoman bed and a storage bed? A storage bed is any type of bed which features handy storage space, such as built-in drawers. With an ottoman bed, the entire bed base lifts completely up, either from the side or the end of the bed, to reveal a full-size storage space hidden under the mattress.  

An ottoman bed is the ideal option for homeowners or renters who have lots of things to store away, giving more flexibility in the configuration of the storage space than drawers. Those with mobility issues, however, may find the drawers of a storage bed easier to access.  

You can never have too much storage, so we’d always say yes, ottoman beds are worth the investment. Whether you’re a bit of a hoarder or fancy yourself a minimalist, beds with built-in storage space, like ottomans, are ideal for clearing the clutter and keeping your bedroom nice and tidy.  

What’s more, with so many different sizes available, from single to super king, and a huge variety of styles, such as contemporary leather or woven fabric sleighs, you have plenty of choice to pick an ottoman bed frame that suits you and your sleeping space.  

If you’re due a bedroom upgrade and are keen to maximise your space, an ottoman bed could be just the thing for you. Take a browse of our stylish selection of ottomans to level up your storage game…
