FAQ

What is an Ottoman Divan Bed?
It’s a divan-style base with an ottoman lift mechanism, available in side or footend opening designs.
Which is better — side opening or footend opening?
It depends on your room layout. Side opening is useful when space is limited at the foot of the bed, while footend opening works well when side access is restricted.
Can I add drawers to an Ottoman Divan Bed?
No, ottoman divans are designed with a lift-up storage base instead of drawers. For drawer storage, consider a 2 or 4 Drawer Divan Bed.

What is an ottoman divan, and should you choose side lift or foot end lift

An ottoman divan is a storage base that lifts to reveal a full under-bed compartment. You get serious capacity and a calm, upholstered look. Choose the opening that suits your room and routine, then pick the style and fabric that makes you grin each morning.

Why pick an ottoman divan from Funkybedz

Maximum hidden space

Use the full base footprint for bedding, seasonal clothes, and the just-in-case stash. Calm top to bottom.

Smooth gas lift

Hardware matched to size and typical mattress weight. Lifts feel light and controlled. Extra heavy mattress? Tell us and we will spec stronger pistons.

Built in Yorkshire

Solid frames, neat upholstery, careful fixings. Real craft. Real tidy seams.

Your style, your fabric

Go calm with wingback, classic with chesterfield, or smooth with sleigh. See options on the fabric page.

Side lift or foot end lift: which works best in my room

Side lift

Stand beside the bed to lift. Ideal if the foot meets a door, radiator, or bench. Choose left or right during assembly on many models.

Shop side lift

Foot end lift

Lift from the foot of the bed. Ideal if both sides are tight but the end is clear. Great for quick loading with big baskets.

Shop foot end lift

Not sure what to pick

Send a sketch or room photo. We will suggest the best opening for your layout or point you to drawers if that suits daily access better.

How do I measure like a pro so the lift clears everything

Walkway and lift space

For side lift, leave standing room beside the bed. For foot end lift, leave space at the end for you and a laundry basket without a shuffle walk.

Doors, wardrobes, radiators

Open doors fully and check wardrobe swing and radiator valves. If both sides are tight, foot end lift is often the winner.

Windows and headboard height

If the bed sits under a window, measure sill height and plan headboard height. Tall headboards look amazing but deserve breathing room.

Build, lift, and care: what should I know

Assembly

Sections arrive sensibly for stairs and tight turns. Most builds take thirty to forty minutes. See the assembly guide.

Care

Vacuum the base occasionally. Keep the load balanced. Blot spills gently. More tips live in Care and Maintenance.

Match the hardware

Tell us if you prefer an extra firm mattress or a heavy topper. We will confirm piston strength so the lift still feels light.

FAQs

Can I choose the opening side on a side lift

Yes. Pick left or right during assembly on many models. Ask us to confirm for your chosen design.

Is the lift heavy to use

No. Gas pistons do the hard work. With the right spec it feels smooth and light, even with a plush mattress.

How much storage is inside

You get the full base footprint. Use soft baskets for neat zones. Label by season and enjoy quick grabs without rummaging.

Will my mattress fit

Yes. We follow UK standards. Pair with our mattress range for the feel you prefer.

Can I switch orientation later

Some models allow choosing orientation during build only. Message us with your model and we will confirm what is possible before you start.

Do I need maintenance

Very little. Keep fixings nipped and loads balanced. If your setup changes to a much heavier mattress, ask us about piston strength.

Drawers or ottoman: which is better

Need quick daily access. Choose drawers. Need maximum capacity with a clean look. Choose ottoman. If both sides are tight, foot end lift is smart.
