1. Best overall: Divan Ottoman Gas-Lift Storage Bed
Price from £210 — view the Ottoman Divan
This is the purest ottoman bed we make: the entire mattress base lifts on smooth gas pistons to reveal a storage box the size of the whole bed. A tall 54 inch headboard comes as standard, and with sixteen fabrics — including plush and crushed velvet — it works in any bedroom. Five sizes from single to super king.
Why it wins: the biggest storage of any bed we sell, with an effortless lift mechanism.
2. Best budget: Florida Chesterfield Bed
Price from £150 — view the Florida Bed
Deep diamond buttoning, a padded headboard and footboard, and optional diamante buttons for extra sparkle — from £150. The Florida brings classic chesterfield glamour at a price most retailers charge for a plain frame, with ottoman storage options to keep the bedroom tidy.
Why it wins: genuine chesterfield style at a budget price.
3. Best luxury: Chesterfield Sleigh Bed
Price from £170 — view the Sleigh Bed
The sleigh bed curls into a graceful scroll at the head and foot, finished with deep chesterfield buttoning and reinforced with metal bars and strips for extra strength. It is the most elegant bed in our ottoman range — a proper centrepiece — with ottoman storage options underneath.
Why it wins: the grandest design we make, built to last.
4. Best for small rooms: Cube Bed
Price from £150 — view the Cube Bed
Bold square panels on the headboard and footboard give the Cube Bed a modern, geometric look that suits smaller bedrooms — the clean lines do not visually crowd a compact room. Choose a single or small double with ottoman storage and even a box room gains a wardrobe-sized hiding place.
Why it wins: modern style that makes small rooms feel bigger, with hidden storage.
5. Best hotel style: Hilton Bed
Price from £160 — view the Hilton Bed
Hotel-inspired and beautifully tailored, the Hilton sets a buttoned chesterfield centre inside a smooth padded frame, with diamante buttons for a touch of shine. Sprung wooden slats support the mattress evenly. It is the pick if you want to wake up feeling like you are on holiday.
Why it wins: boutique-hotel looks with practical ottoman storage.
6. Best statement look: Wingline Panel Bed
Price from £160 — view the Wingline Bed
Side wings frame your pillows while vertical channel panels run down the headboard, finished with a matching panelled footboard. It is a confident, designer look — and because it is made to order in your size, fabric, and colour, no two are quite alike.
Why it wins: the most distinctive design in the range, fully customisable.
7. Best for comfort: Bumper Panel Bed
Price from £160 — view the Bumper Bed
Deep padded vertical panels and a soft, rounded bumper footboard make this the most touchable bed we sell — you will want to lean against it with a book. Underneath, the ottoman storage box swallows duvets and winter clothes whole.
Why it wins: the cosiest bed in the range, with serious storage.
8. Best single ottoman bed for box rooms: Divan Ottoman Gas-Lift single
Price from £210 — view the Ottoman Divan
A single ottoman bed is the cleverest answer to a small bedroom. The 3ft footprint is barely wider than the mattress, yet the gas-lift box underneath holds as much as a small wardrobe — duvets, toys, clothes and clutter all vanish inside. For children's rooms and box rooms, it is the tidiest bed you can buy.
Why it wins: wardrobe-sized storage in a single-bed footprint. Browse single ottoman beds.
9. Best king size ottoman bed for master bedrooms: Divan Ottoman Gas-Lift king
Price from £210 — view the Ottoman Divan
The king size ottoman bed pairs generous 5ft sleeping space with a storage box to match. Couples get room to sleep properly, and the full-size lift-up compartment swallows spare bedding, luggage and everything that ruins a calm bedroom. It is the definitive choice for a clutter-free master suite.
Why it wins: the biggest comfort with the biggest hidden storage. See every king size ottoman bed.
10. Best small double ottoman bed for spare rooms: Cube Bed small double
Price from £150 — view the Cube Bed
A small double ottoman bed gives guests 4ft of sleeping width plus a full storage box for their bedding — all in a size that still leaves room for furniture. The Cube Bed's crisp panelled design keeps a spare room looking sharp, and because the storage is built in, there is no need for extra chests or boxes.
Why it wins: guest comfort and storage in one neat 4ft package. Browse small double ottoman beds.
11. Best ottoman double bed for everyday comfort: Florida Chesterfield double
Price from £150 — view the Florida Bed
The ottoman double bed is the everyday hero of the range. At 4ft6 it suits couples perfectly, and the full storage box underneath handles the real-life clutter of a busy household. The Florida's deep-buttoned chesterfield styling proves a hardworking bed can still look beautiful.
Why it wins: the ideal everyday size with standout style and serious hidden storage.
12. Best super king ottoman bed for ultimate space: Divan Ottoman Gas-Lift super king
Price from £210 — view the Ottoman Divan

Ottoman bed questions, answered
What is the best ottoman bed in the UK?
For maximum storage, a gas-lift ottoman like our Divan Ottoman Gas-Lift Storage Bed from £210 is the best choice — the whole bed base opens up. If style matters more, our chesterfield and panelled ottoman beds combine looks with hidden storage.
Are ottoman beds worth it?
Yes, if you need storage. An ottoman bed gives you the equivalent of a large wardrobe without using any floor space — ideal for flats and smaller bedrooms where every metre counts.
Is the gas lift easy to use?
Yes. Gas pistons do most of the work, so the mattress platform lifts smoothly with one hand and stays open safely while you load the storage box.
What sizes do ottoman beds come in?
Our ottoman beds come in five sizes: single (3ft), small double (4ft), double (4ft6), king (5ft), and super king (6ft).
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is 1 to 2 working days with free UK home delivery on every order. Next-day delivery is available in selected areas when you order before 7pm.
What is the best single ottoman bed for a small room?
A single ottoman bed is ideal for box rooms — the gas-lift box gives wardrobe-level storage in a 3ft footprint. Our single ottoman beds start from £210 with free UK delivery.
Should I buy an ottoman bed with mattress included?
An ottoman bed with mattress in one package is convenient and usually better value. Choose a double ottoman bed with mattress for couples, or a king size ottoman bed with mattress for maximum space — the mattress is sized to match the lift mechanism.
What is the best small double ottoman bed?
The small double ottoman bed (4ft) suits spare rooms brilliantly. Our small double ottoman beds combine 4ft of sleeping width with a full storage box, with or without a mattress included.
Can I pay cash on delivery?
Yes. With Kensley Home you check your furniture first and then pay cash to the courier — no payment taken upfront online.
