Single Ottoman Beds

Why Choose a Single Ottoman Bed?

We recommend a single ottoman bed because it offers one of the most practical storage solutions for the bedroom. They are super handy for storing toys, blankets, bed linen and other bulky items that can quickly take over your bedroom floor space. Unlike traditional divan bed bases with drawers, a single ottoman bed lifts to reveal a full storage compartment right across the base of the bed. Which means every inch underneath the bed is usable - and it can hold up to four times more storage than a standard divan base.

Ottoman beds are also built to last and offer great strength and durability. Unlike hollow standard bed frames, they are built with a solid structure, making them far more supportive and longer lasting. This robust design means a single ottoman bed is perfect for everyday use, providing dependable support night after night.

A single ottoman bed is a great choice for small spaces - including guest rooms, box rooms and kids bedrooms. At around half the width of a super king bed, it still provides loads of sleeping space for both adults and kids, while also helping to keep the room feeling spacious and organised. And for added peace of mind, most of our single ottoman beds come with a 3 year guarantee, so you know you're investing in a high quality bed that will last.

What Are the Benefits of a Single Ottoman Bed?

One of the key benefits of a single ottoman bed is how easy it is to use. Each bed is fitted with smooth working gas pistons that can handle mattresses weighing anywhere from 40kg up to 100kg. Which means lifting that mattress requires hardly any effort at all - making everyday access to the storage area simple and hassle free. Whether you're using the bed daily or just occasionally, the lifting mechanism is smooth, secure and built to last.

Single ottoman beds are also super versatile when it comes to room layout. End opening ottoman beds are perfect for narrow rooms - just chuck in a gap of around 30cm to 90cm at the foot of the bed and you're good to go. Alternatively, a side opening ottoman bed will only need around 60cm of clearance on one side, making it a great option if you've got limited access on one side of the room. We provide end lift and side lift ottoman beds to suit different room layouts. This flexibility lets you choose the opening style that best suits your bedroom.

Storage depth is another major advantage with single ottoman beds. They come in different depths, and our ottoman divan beds offer an internal storage depth of 22cm, making it easy to store stuff like suitcases, storage boxes, spare bed linen and other bulky essentials. If you need even more space, we can make deeper storage options to order - so you can tailor the bed to your exact storage needs.

What’s the Difference Between a Single Ottoman Bed Frame and a Single Ottoman Base?

The difference between a single ottoman bed frame and a single ottoman base comes down to design, size and overall style. Ottoman bed frames are complete beds with integrated headboards and footboards, so they tend to be a bit longer and wider than an ottoman base. Because of this, they add a bit of visual presence to the bedroom. A single ottoman storage bed base on the other hand is more compact and is usually preferred where maximising floor and storage space is the priority.

Support types also differ between the two. An ottoman base features a solid platform top, which gives a firm and even support for all types of mattresses - including memory foam. This makes ottoman storage beds a practical choice for everyday use. A single ottoman bed frame, however, may come with solid slats, sprung slats, or a metal frame - offering more flexibility depending on your personal comfort preference and the mattress you choose.

Style is another factor to consider. Ottoman bases are simple and plain, usually finished in a basic fabric with minimal detailing. This makes them super easy to pair with a wide range of headboards in popular colours like grey, beige, brown or soft neutral tones that suit most bedroom decors. Ottoman bed frames on the other hand are more design focused and can feature upholstered headboards and footboards with all sorts of cool details.
