Storage is one of the most sought-after features in any bedroom — and both ottoman beds and divan beds deliver it in style. But they do so in very different ways.
What is an Ottoman Bed?
An ottoman bed features a lift-up base that reveals a large, open storage compartment beneath the mattress. Browse our full range of ottoman beds to find your perfect style.
Best for: Storing bulky items like duvets, pillows, suitcases, and seasonal clothing.
Pros: Maximum storage capacity, clean uncluttered look, gas-lift mechanism makes opening effortless.
Cons: You need to lift the mattress to access storage. Not ideal for frequent, quick access.
What is a Divan Bed?
A divan bed has a solid base with storage in the form of drawers built into the sides or foot of the base. Explore our divan bed collection for a wide range of sizes and configurations.
Best for: Everyday items you need regular access to.
Pros: Easy, quick access. No need to lift the mattress. Often more affordable.
Cons: Less total storage than an ottoman. Drawers can limit bed positioning.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose an ottoman bed if you want maximum storage and a sleek aesthetic.
Choose a divan bed if you want convenient, frequent access to stored items.
