Ottoman Storage Beds Space-Saving Beds Made in Yorkshire

What is an ottoman storage bed and how does it work?

An Ottoman Storage Beds is a clever way to save space by hiding storage inside the base of your bed. The mattress lifts up using a smooth hydraulic system, giving you easy access to a generous storage compartment underneath. Perfect for keeping bedding, clothes, or seasonal items out of sight but close to hand, Ottoman Storage Beds are one of the most practical choices for modern UK bedrooms.

 

Types of Ottoman Storage Beds available at Funkybedz

We offer two main designs:

  • Divan Ottoman Beds — solid platform tops with flexible opening options. You can choose a footend lift or a left/right side opening to suit your room layout. These beds are fully upholstered, strong, and space-efficient.
  • Bed Frame Ottoman Beds — slatted bases that open from the footend only. These are ideal if you prefer the look of a frame-style bed with hidden storage built in.

Every Funkybedz ottoman is handcrafted in Yorkshire using strong timber, chipboard, and premium fabrics. Built to last and made to order, our ottoman beds combine durability with everyday convenience.
