Build your Ottoman Bed Set - Handmade UK Lift Up Storage Beds
An ottoman bed is the smart way to maximise bedroom storage without losing style. Instead of drawers, an ottoman bed uses a gas lift ottoman mechanism to raise the entire mattress, revealing a spacious hidden compartment beneath.
Our collection covers every size – from a small single ottoman bed for compact spaces to a super king ottoman bed for the ultimate luxury. All of our ottoman beds are handmade in the UK to the highest standards, combining durability with beautiful upholstered finishes.
What is an ottoman bed?
An ottoman bed is a type of lift up storage bed that opens from either the end or the side. Supported by a strong gas lift ottoman bed system, the mattress platform lifts smoothly and safely, giving you access to the entire storage space underneath. This makes an ottoman bed ideal for storing bedding, clothing, shoes, or seasonal items.

What customers say
“I bought two side-lift ottoman beds. The options were great, delivery was seamless, and assembly was straightforward. Highly recommend.”
– Alexis D., August 2025
“We ordered a double, plush black ottoman storage bed from DBD. Honestly couldn’t be more happier. Was skeptical at first as we never ordered from DBD before but honestly glad we did. I really loved the bed from the website and for the price, I didn’t want to miss out. Came on time and the delivery team kept me updated throughout the process. They also left it where I requested as I was at work. Simple enough to assemble and looks great. Would definitely recommend DBD! Quality!”

FAQs – Ottoman Beds
What is an ottoman bed?
An ottoman bed is a lift up storage bed with a gas lift ottoman mechanism that reveals the entire storage area beneath your mattress.
Do ottoman beds come in different sizes?
Yes – we offer single ottoman beds, small double ottoman beds, double ottoman beds, and king size ottoman beds.
Should I choose a side lift ottoman bed or end lift ottoman bed?
This depends on your space and bed positioning. If your bed is next to the wall, a side lift may be better. If you have longer, thinner bedroom, then an end lift can provide more convenient access. Both options offer the same amount of storage.
Is it easy to open a gas lift ottoman bed?
Yes – the pistons in our gas lift ottoman beds are designed to lift smoothly, even with your mattress in place.
Can I use my existing mattress on an ottoman bed?
Yes – as long as it’s the correct size. Or explore our range of Medi-Endorsed mattresses for a perfect match.
Can I add a headboard to an ottoman bed?
Yes – you can use an existing headboard (if not fixed to an old base) or choose a new matching ottoman headboard from our collection.
Do you offer complete ottoman bed sets?
Yes – our Ottoman Bed Sets let you customise everything: base, fabric, headboard, and mattress.
