Choose from Different Types of Storage Beds
Ottoman Storage Beds
Ottoman storage beds provide access to the space beneath the mattress through a lifting base. Many models use a gas-lift mechanism to help raise the bed platform, creating a useful storage area for items such as bedding, blankets, towels and clothing.
Depending on the design, an ottoman bed may open from the front or side. Check the product details carefully to confirm the opening direction and ensure there is enough room to operate the lifting mechanism.
Drawer Storage Beds
Drawer storage beds feature built-in drawers beneath the bed frame. They are useful for storing bedding, clothes and other bedroom items while keeping them within easy reach.
Drawer configurations vary between products. Some beds include side drawers, while others have drawers at the foot or end of the bed. Check the product photographs and specifications to confirm the drawer position and available storage space.
Divan Storage Beds
Divan storage beds combine a supportive bed base with integrated storage. Depending on the model, storage may be provided through drawers or an ottoman-style lift-up base.
Divan storage beds are available in different sizes and upholstery finishes. You can explore our wider range of divan beds and storage beds for additional options.
Upholstered Storage Beds
Upholstered storage beds feature fabric-covered frames and headboards, combining practical storage with a softer bedroom appearance. Our collection includes a selection of modern and neutral fabric finishes, subject to availability.

Why Choose a Storage Bed?
Make Better Use of Bedroom Space
A storage bed makes use of space beneath the mattress, helping you keep bedroom essentials organised without needing additional storage furniture.
Keep Bedding and Clothing Organised
Underbed storage can be useful for storing spare bedding, blankets, seasonal clothing, towels and other items that you do not need to access every day.
Choose a Style to Suit Your Bedroom
Storage beds are available in a range of materials, colours and designs. Choose from upholstered frames, traditional styles and modern designs to complement your bedroom décor.
Select the Storage Type You Need
Drawer storage provides convenient access to specific compartments, while ottoman beds can offer a larger open storage area beneath the mattress. The best option depends on your available space and how you intend to use the storage.
What to Check Before Buying a Storage Bed
Measure the Bedroom
Measure the space available for the bed and allow enough room for walking around it. Remember that the bed frame may be wider or longer than the mattress size.
Check Drawer Access
If you choose a drawer storage bed, make sure there is sufficient space beside or at the end of the bed to open the drawers fully.
Check Ottoman Opening Space
For an ottoman bed, check whether the base opens from the side or foot of the bed. Make sure there is enough clearance to lift the base and access the storage area.
Check Mattress Requirements
Confirm the required mattress size and check whether the product specifies a recommended mattress depth or weight limit, particularly for ottoman storage beds.
Check Delivery Access
Before ordering, consider whether the bed and its components can be carried through hallways, staircases, doorways and into the intended room. Check the delivery information for details about packaging and delivery requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions About Storage Beds
What is a storage bed?
A storage bed is a bed frame with built-in storage beneath the mattress. Depending on the design, storage may be provided by drawers, compartments or a lift-up ottoman base.
What types of storage beds are available?
Storage beds are available in several designs, including ottoman storage beds, drawer storage beds, divan storage beds and upholstered storage bed frames. Drawer beds may have side or end drawers, while ottoman beds use a lifting base to access the storage area.
Are storage beds suitable for small bedrooms?
Storage beds can be useful in smaller bedrooms because they provide storage beneath the bed without requiring a separate chest of drawers or storage unit. However, check the bed’s external dimensions and make sure there is enough space to open drawers or lift the base.
Can I use any mattress with a storage bed?
Mattress compatibility depends on the individual bed design and the manufacturer’s requirements. Check the product description for the correct mattress size, recommended mattress type, depth and weight specifications before ordering.
Browse our mattress collection to explore available options.
How do ottoman storage beds work?
Ottoman storage beds have a base that lifts to provide access to the storage area beneath the mattress. Many models use a gas-lift mechanism to assist with lifting. Always follow the manufacturer’s assembly and operating instructions.
Do ottoman beds open from the side or the foot?
The opening direction depends on the model. Some ottoman beds open from the foot of the bed, while others may lift from the side. Check the individual product description and photographs before ordering to confirm how the bed opens.
How much storage space does a storage bed provide?
Storage capacity varies according to the bed size, frame design and storage mechanism. Ottoman beds may provide a large open storage area, while drawer beds divide storage into separate compartments. Check the internal measurements where provided.
What should I check before buying a storage bed?
Before buying, check the mattress size, overall bed dimensions, storage capacity, drawer or lifting-base access, mattress requirements, assembly details and delivery information. Make sure the bed will fit through doorways and into the intended bedroom.
