Many of us would claim that we lack storage options in our bedrooms. So, if you're tight for space, Ottoman storage beds can offer you the perfect solution for bedrooms of any size. Here, at Bed Arena, we offer a range of Ottomans in a choice of formats, colours and fabrics to suit every taste. In this blog, we look at how these beds can provide you with maximum storage with very little impact on your room itself.


What is an Ottoman storage bed?

The Ottoman bed frame design is rooted in history and dates back to the 14th century. Modern-day ottoman beds include a storage area, which is placed underneath the mattress. This is accessed by lifting a hinged mattress frame, either from the front end or the side of the bed, with the help of a discreet hydraulic system. This means you can keep your bedroom free of clutter and reclaim the space as somewhere you can relax without the clutter.




Benefits of an Ottoman storage bed

The biggest piece of furniture in any bedroom is undoubtedly the bed. So, buying an Ottoman means you can avoid filling the bedroom with bulky furniture, in turn freeing up space and making it look free of clutter. They don't even have to be used in the main bedrooms. They are perfect for guest rooms because you can hide anything you don't use on a regular basis which your guest will never see.

As the storage space is hidden, they are also a great hiding place.. think of the presents for the Children's birthdays or Christmas.

The hydraulic lift mechanism means that you can gain access to the storage space with minimal effort on your part. Just make sure the type of opening you chose is suited to the space where the bed will be located.

You can store items more effectively than boxes stored under a traditional bed.
