Ottoman Beds with Storage FAQs
-
Check the bed's size, external dimensions, storage design, lifting mechanism, required mattress size, weight recommendations, materials and assembly requirements. You should also measure your bedroom and delivery access route and review Novera Home's delivery, returns and guarantee information before ordering. Novera currently states that its furniture is delivered to the door and that assembly is not provided, with assembly instructions supplied for relevant products.
-
Assembly requirements vary between ottoman beds. Some models may require the frame and lifting mechanism to be assembled at home. Check the individual product information and assembly instructions before ordering, and make sure you have enough space to safely assemble and operate the bed.
-
Measure the available floor space and compare it with the ottoman bed's full external dimensions. You should also allow enough room around the bed for comfortable movement and consider the height and clearance required when the base is lifted. Don't forget to measure doorways, hallways and stairs to make sure the bed can reach the bedroom.
-
Yes. Ottoman beds can be available in different UK bed sizes, depending on the individual design. Common sizes include Single, Small Double, Double, King Size and Super King Size. Always check the complete external dimensions because the bed frame will be larger than the mattress itself.
-
Neither is universally better. An ottoman bed provides access to a larger storage compartment by lifting the base, while drawer storage beds divide storage into separate compartments that can be accessed individually. An ottoman bed can be particularly useful if you need to store larger or bulkier items.
-
The best mattress depends on the specific ottoman bed and your personal comfort preferences. Memory foam, pocket sprung and hybrid mattresses may be suitable for different designs, but you should always check the manufacturer's requirements for mattress size, weight and compatibility before purchasing.
-
Not necessarily. The mattress must be compatible with the ottoman bed's dimensions and lifting mechanism. Check the required mattress size, weight recommendations and product specifications before choosing a mattress. This is particularly important because the lifting mechanism is designed to operate with a suitable mattress and base combination.
-
The storage compartment can be useful for items such as spare bedding, duvets, pillows, blankets, seasonal clothing and other bedroom essentials. Keep stored items organised and avoid exceeding any weight or usage recommendations provided with the individual bed.
-
Ottoman beds are designed with a lifting mechanism to help raise the bed base and mattress. The exact mechanism and lifting experience vary between models, so check the individual product specifications before buying. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when operating the mechanism.
-
The amount of storage depends on the design and dimensions of the individual bed. Because the base lifts to provide access to the area beneath the mattress, an ottoman bed can offer substantial hidden storage. Check the individual product specifications for details about the available storage space.
-
Yes. Ottoman beds can be particularly useful in smaller bedrooms because they use the space underneath the mattress for storage without requiring additional floor space for drawers. This can help you keep bedding, clothing and other bedroom essentials neatly stored away.
-
An ottoman bed has a lift-up base that opens to reveal a large storage compartment beneath the mattress. The lifting mechanism allows you to access the space underneath without needing separate drawers, making it a practical way to maximise storage in the bedroom.
-
An ottoman bed has a hinged base that lifts to provide access to storage underneath the mattress. Gas-assisted mechanisms can make the lifting process easier on suitable designs. Ottoman beds can be a practical option when you want to maximise bedroom storage without adding separate furniture.
