Best Ottoman Beds UK 2025 — The Complete Buying Guide
Share
Ottoman beds have become one of the most searched bed types in the UK — and it is easy to see why. They combine the look of a premium upholstered bed with the practicality of hidden underbed storage, all without the clunky drawer handles of a standard divan.
What Is an Ottoman Bed?
An ottoman bed uses a gas-powered hydraulic lift mechanism to raise the entire mattress platform, revealing a large hollow storage space underneath. Unlike drawer divans, there are no separate compartments — the whole base is one open storage area, ideal for duvets, bedding, and pillows.
End Lift vs Side Lift Ottoman Beds
End-lift ottomans open from the foot of the bed — great for smaller bedrooms where you cannot stand at the side. Side-lift ottomans open from one side and are better when the end of the bed sits against a wall. At Eagle Bed we offer both types, including the Ottoman Gas Lift Divan Base and the Side Lift Ottoman Gas Lift Storage Bed.
How Much Storage Do They Provide?
A standard UK King size ottoman bed typically provides between 400 and 600 litres of storage beneath the mattress — more than enough for duvets, pillows, and seasonal items.
What Fabrics Are Available?
Every Eagle Bed ottoman is available in six premium fabrics: Plush Velvet, Chenille, Coniston, Naples, Galaxy, and Teddy Bouclé. Custom colours are available on request. All beds feature a 54 inch headboard, 100% solid wood frame, and are handmade in the UK.
