The latter is quite hard to come by and is normally featured only on more premium frames, such as the Darlings of Chelsea Barking bed. Naturally, being a more premium interiors offering means that this type of base aims to offer buyers more longstanding security and peace of mind, knowing that their purchase will last them beyond a limited 2-year warranty.
Elsewhere, sprung-slatted ottoman beds can be quite affordable, with this Ascot Ottoman Storage Bed coming in under £300. In our opinion, you won’t notice a difference in your bed base feel-wise, so it’s really a matter of how long you’re planning on seeing this purchase out. Make sure to check your products’ frame guarantees and what sort of damage you’re covered against.
Is a side opening ottoman or end ottoman better?
It’s recommended to think about where in your room you will position your ottoman bed before buying. For example, if the foot of your bed is directly against a wall, it would probably be sensible to opt for a side-lift ottoman bed.
What mattress is suitable for an ottoman bed?
Before buying, always research the maximum weight of the bed (if it doesn’t say, that’s a major red flag), consider whether it will be enough to hold you and your mattress and then use that weight as a guideline when shopping for the best mattress thereafter.
What does gas-lift hydraulics mean?
It’s basically the same mechanism used for car boots: to open most car boots, all you need to do is pull a handle, which triggers the boot to lift up at a slow, steady pace. Likewise, for most ottoman beds, releasing the safety straps will trigger the upward motion of the mechanism, causing the mattress to lift up and revealing all that lovely extra space.
How did we choose the best ottoman beds?
In curating this edit of the best ottoman beds, we’ve considered several factors such as storage capacity, pricing, functionality, and aesthetics. Drawing from our favourite online furniture stores, we’ve scrutinised each bed’s advantages and disadvantages, while also taking into account the array of colour choices and size variations to make your decision-making that little bit easier. Happy shopping!
