What is an Ottoman Bed
If you're searching for a stylish, space-saving bed that doesn’t compromise on comfort, an ottoman bed might be the perfect choice. But what exactly is an ottoman bed?
An ottoman bed is a type of storage bed that lifts up to reveal a spacious compartment underneath the mattress. Unlike traditional divan drawers or under-bed boxes, ottoman beds use a hinged mechanism—often powered by gas-lift struts—to make accessing the full under-bed space effortless.
Ottoman beds are designed with practicality in mind. The base of the bed lifts from either the foot end (end-lift) or the side (side-lift), depending on your room layout. Thanks to a hydraulic or gas-lift mechanism, the mattress lifts smoothly and stays up while you access the storage area—making them ideal even for daily use.
