If you’re considering purchasing a new bed frame, specifically an ottoman bed frame, you will be interested to know exactly what the main advantages of an ottoman bed are. In order to make an informed buying decision, you need to know the pros and cons of all types of beds, which will help you come to the right choice for your needs. Here at Home Treats UK, we’re big fans of the ottoman bed, so have put together this guide outlining the main benefits of ottoman beds and why they are the choice for you.
We are going to discuss how the multifunctional nature of an ottoman bed frame can transform a bedroom and help your really get the most out of your space. We will also answer some of the key questions around ottoman beds, exploring their safety, sturdiness and reliability, amongst many other factors.
First things first, we need to understand what an ottoman storage bed frame is. Put simply, an ottoman bed is a bed frame which opens up to reveal a large amount of bonus, easy-to-access space underneath the mattress. This is achieved by a gas-assisted lifting mechanism, either available as a side lift or end lift ottoman bed. The lift mechanism makes it incredibly easy to access that hidden storage space with minimal effort and not requiring physical strength.
There’s no specific design or style associated with ottoman beds, meaning everything from ultra-modern to traditional bed frames are available, remaining in keeping with your bedroom decor preferences. This combination of designs and the built in storage compartment means ottoman beds are truly suitable for all.
So what are the real benefits of ottoman beds? Let’s list the key advantages before delving deeper into each one.
As we have alluded to, the extra storage area provided by an ottoman bed is the ultimate bedroom storage solution and the main reason so many homeowners are turning to these beds. Having more storage in your home is often very difficult to achieve without wasting valuable floor space, but with storage beneath your bed, you are achieving this extra storage without using any room space that isn’t already taken up.
Ottoman storage beds at the ultimate space-saving solution and will help you organise bulky items away while also ensuring they’re readily available when needed. From speaking to those already owning an ottoman bed, items often hidden in that storage space underneath include extra bedding, footwear, seasonal clothing and toys, leaving enough room in the bedroom for living, breathing and feeling free.
Substance is not everything when it comes to interior design, with style occupying much of a homeowner’s desires when considering furniture and other items for the home. Thankfully, the selection of ottoman beds available here at Home Treats combine the obvious functionality with the kind of stylish designs you’re looking for. Whether you prefer a classic look like a clean wooden design or something a little more contemporary like an upholstered bed frame in a variety of colours, there’s an ottoman storage bed here to suit.
Of course, beds are primarily for sleeping. As such, comfort and support are of paramount importance when looking at ottoman storage beds. Much of the excellent support provided by these beds comes from the solid base combined with the headboard. Even though that built in storage sits beneath the slatted base, you still have the same level of support you’d receive from a regular bed.
In terms of the comfort, things are much the same. As with any bed, a lot of the sleeping comfort comes from the mattress chosen to sit atop the bed frame. You can choose from a variety of mattress options to make your ottoman bed your own, including pocket sprung, memory foam and hybrid mattresses, all of which combine with bed frames to create a wonderful sleeping environment. You can even choose to purchase an ottoman storage bed and mattress package here at Home Treats, which offers a good discount compared to buying separately.
Durability is another key consideration when deciding what bed to buy. It’s a significant financial outlay, so you want to know your bed is built to last for many years and decades to come. An ottoman bed purchased from Home Treats UK is crafted using high-quality materials by experienced workers, ensuring high levels of durability despite the generous prices. Solid wood and engineered metal are used throughout ottoman bed frames to ensure the same reliability, staying power and endurance you would expect from a standard bed frame.
Now we have explored several benefits of ottoman beds, we can look to answer some of the most frequently asked question around these space-saving storage beds and put to rest any lingering doubts you may have.
As we have already discussed, there are many reasons why ottoman beds are a good idea for many different living situations. If you have a small bedroom space but want lots of storage space, an ottoman storage bed is the obvious answer. If you have a large bedroom but you like to keep your bedroom tidy and organised, an ottoman bed is the obvious answer. If you need a guest bed which has advantages even when not in use, ottoman beds are the obvious answer.
Furthermore, think of the cost benefits. Purchasing a bed and storage furniture separately has obvious cost implications, while securing a glorious sleeping space and a storage solution in one fell swoop means you’re only paying once. Two furniture in one sounds like a great idea to us.
Of course ottoman beds are safe. They’re just as safe as any other beds. People can be worried about how safe it is to access the bonus storage space underneath an ottoman bed, but with the easy-to-use gas-lift pistons there is absolutely nothing to worry about. You can operate the bed safely even with small children, though it is always recommended to leave accessing the storage to adults. For additional safety, ottoman bed frames ave lockable mechanisms that only you can access.
Durability and reliability are at the heart of ottoman bed construction, with only high-quality materials used to create the frames available here at Home Treats UK. Many of our excellent Trust Pilot reviews point to the amazing quality and reliability of our bed frames, not often seen in beds sold for such competitive prices. Our ottoman beds come with a year’s warranty, but are built to last for much, much longer than that.
You may think with the storage space included in these ottoman storage beds, sturdiness may be compromised. This assumption is far from the truth. An ottoman bed is just as sturdy as any other bed you could purchase, owing to the excellent materials and fixings used throughout the standardised construction process. Our ottoman bed frames are made using either hardwood or metal, with even the comfy and stylish upholstered designs backed up by a wood and metal construction. These hard and durable materials ensure maximum sturdiness and mean these beds are suitable for all weights.
Value for money is always a big consideration when buying bedroom furniture and there’s no doubt that ottoman beds offer excellent value for money. They’re a long-term investment that you will feel the benefit of over the course of many years. We have already alluded to the saving you will make by getting your bed and your storage in one piece of furniture rather than two, which is often the clincher as to why homeowners choose an ottoman bed. And, with 0% finance options available here, the cost of your ottoman bed frame can be split over a longer period of time and make the cost much more digestible. This all combines to ensure a storage bed is absolutely worth the cost.
Ottoman beds do not get mouldy provided you follow recommended maintenance tips in the same way you would with any other bed. Breathable fabrics for your bedding and good ventilation in your bedroom are both key to ensuring any bed does not get mouldy and this is the same for ottoman beds. There is nothing to suggest an ottoman bed frame encourages mould more than a traditional bed frame.
Throughout the course of this article, we have explained the many benefits associated with ottoman beds and dispelled some of the myths that may have previously put people off these exceptionally-useful storage beds. The biggest benefit is that ottoman beds ensure efficient use of the floor space in a room by providing a bonus area to store bulky items. This extra storage space, combined with comfort, support, sturdiness, durability and value, means an ottoman storage bed is a worthwhile choice for large, medium and small spaces.
