What Is a Double Ottoman Bed?
A double ottoman bed is a 4ft6 bed with a lift-up storage space hidden underneath the mattress. Instead of drawers that slide out, the whole mattress lifts up on gas pistons, which are strong supports that hold the mattress up while you reach underneath. You get the full area under the bed as one big storage space, which is ideal for bedding, clothes, shoes, towels and anything else that clutters up a bedroom. A double bed ottoman like this is one of the smartest ways to add storage to a bedroom without buying extra furniture.

Why a Double Ottoman Bed Works So Well
A double bed with ottoman storage gives you two things in one: a comfortable bed for two people, and a storage space as big as the bed itself. A double ottoman storage bed is 135cm wide by 190cm long, which is the standard UK double size, so your normal double mattress and bedding will fit. A double bed ottoman storage area is deep enough for duvets, pillows, winter clothes and suitcases, and because the mattress lifts up, you can reach every corner without crawling on the floor.
An ottoman double bed frame is built with a solid base, so the storage area stays clean and tidy, and the gas lift does the heavy work for you. A double bed frame ottoman is easy to open and close, even with a heavy mattress on top, because the pistons take the weight. If you have a small bedroom, a double ottoman bed can replace a chest of drawers or a storage box, which frees up floor space and makes the room feel bigger.
Ottoman Double Beds in Every Colour
Colour matters, because your bed is the biggest piece of furniture in the room. A grey double ottoman bed is our most popular choice, because grey goes with almost any wall colour and bedding. A grey ottoman double bed in a soft fabric looks calm and modern, and a double bed ottoman grey in a darker shade hides marks well in a busy family home. An ottoman bed double grey in a lighter shade brightens a small room, and a double grey ottoman bed works just as well in a spare room as in a main bedroom.
A black double ottoman bed makes a bold statement, and a black ottoman bed double in a smart fabric suits a modern bedroom. A black ottoman double bed looks best with light bedding and pale walls, and an ottoman double bed black in colour suits a modern room, while a double bed ottoman black in a crushed velvet finish feels rich and warm. A double black ottoman bed with a matching headboard turns a plain room into a stylish one, and a black double ottoman bed frame with chrome or wooden legs adds a finishing touch.
A white double ottoman bed is a fresh, clean choice for a bright bedroom, and it suits a white or pale grey room beautifully. A cream ottoman bed double brings warmth without the starkness of pure white, and a cream ottoman double bed in a soft fabric feels cosy and welcoming. A double ottoman bed cream in a light shade makes a small room feel larger, and a double cream ottoman bed pairs well with wooden furniture and warm lighting. A cream double bed ottoman is a good pick if you want a light bed that still feels warm and homely.
A beige ottoman bed double is a gentle, natural colour that suits both modern and traditional rooms, and a double ottoman bed beige in a warm tone works well with cream bedding and oak furniture. A beige double bed ottoman is easy to live with, because it does not show dust the way a black bed can, and it matches most carpets and curtains.
End Lift and Side Lift
Most double ottoman beds lift from the end, so the mattress rises from the foot of the bed and you reach in from the end. A side opening ottoman bed double lifts from the long side instead, which is useful if the foot of your bed is close to a wall or a wardrobe. A double bed ottoman bed with side lift is a good choice for a narrow room, because you do not need space at the foot of the bed to open it. When you order, check which side your bed will open from, and make sure there is enough room for the mattress to lift fully.
Divan or Frame?
You can buy an ottoman bed as a divan or as a frame. An ottoman double divan bed has a fabric-covered base that sits close to the floor, which gives a neat, tidy look and hides the storage completely. A double ottoman divan is a good choice if you like a clean, simple style and want the bed to look like a normal divan from the outside. An ottoman bed frame double, on the other hand, has a visible frame with legs and a headboard, which suits a bedroom with a feature headboard or a statement design. An ottoman double bed frame with a tall headboard makes a real feature of the bed, while a low frame suits a modern, minimal room.
Bed frames double ottoman style come in many designs, from simple wooden frames to upholstered Chesterfield styles with deep buttoned fabric. Ottoman bed frames double in size are built to the same 4ft6 width as any double bed, so your mattress will fit whichever style you choose. A double ottoman bed frame is a good choice if you want the storage of an ottoman with the look of a traditional bed frame.
Base Only and Other Options
Some shoppers want a double ottoman bed base without a headboard, so they can add their own. A double ottoman bed base only option is available, and it is a good choice if you already have a headboard you love, or if your bed sits against a wall where a headboard would not fit. A double ottoman bed frames set with a matching headboard is also available if you want the full look. Whichever you choose, check that the base, mattress and headboard all match in size, so everything lines up neatly.
A double bed with storage ottoman is also available in a European size, and a European double ottoman bed is 140cm wide by 200cm long, which is slightly wider and longer than a UK double. If you buy a European size, make sure your mattress matches, because a UK double mattress will leave a gap. Some shoppers search for a 4ft double ottoman bed, which usually means a small double ottoman bed at 120cm wide, so check the measurements carefully before you order.

Choosing the Right Double Ottoman Bed
Start with your room. Measure the space, check that the bed will fit with room to walk around it, and decide whether you need an end lift or a side lift. Then choose your colour: grey and beige suit most rooms, black makes a statement, and cream and white brighten a small space. Then choose divan or frame, and decide whether you want a headboard. Finally, pick your mattress. A double ottoman bed with a good mattress is an investment in better sleep, and we sell mattresses from £170 to go with every bed.
