A side lift ottoman opens from one side so you can stand comfortably beside the bed and raise the mattress platform with a smooth gas lift. It is perfect when the foot of the bed is tight to doors, windows, or radiators — or when you simply like to access storage from your usual bedside.
Choose the side of the bed where you will stand to lift. We’ll set the mechanism to suit, so the platform opens toward you and the hinges sit on the opposite side.
Many models allow choosing orientation during assembly. If you are unsure, ask our team and we will confirm for your chosen design before ordering.
Send a quick sketch or room photo. We’ll suggest the best side — or point you to an end lift if that will move better in your space.
If the bed faces a door, radiator, or window seat, a side lift avoids bumping into things. You lift from the free side and keep the flow clear.
You naturally stand by your table to stash bedding or grab bags. Side lift makes that a one-step move instead of walking around to the foot.
If a bench or chest lives at the foot, side lift keeps that setup intact. For clear foot space rooms, an end lift is equally smart.
Check the space on your chosen lift side. Leave comfortable standing room to lift and to set baskets in and out without twisting.
Make sure lamps and drawers open freely with the platform raised. Slim tables are easiest beside tall headboards.
Open doors fully. Check wardrobe swing and radiator valves. If both sides are tight, consider an end lift.
