Divan Ottoman Bed Storage Options in the UK | Divan Factory Outlet

A divan ottoman bed is one of those upgrades you notice daily. You get a proper bed base, plus hidden storage underneath. That means fewer bags in the corner and fewer “where do I put this?” moments. At Divan Factory Outlet, our Ottoman collection keeps things practical and UK-friendly, with gas lift access and sturdy build quality. You can shop three strong options on this page, including end lift, side lift, and a statement base set with a winged headboard and footboard.

Why a divan ottoman bed suits UK bedrooms

Most UK bedrooms don’t have endless floor space. Wardrobes fill fast. Spare bedding piles up. Suitcases never seem to leave.

An ottoman divan bed fixes that without stealing extra room. It uses the space already under your mattress. You keep the same footprint, but you gain a big storage area.

It also keeps the room looking calmer. You can hide clutter out of sight. Your bedroom feels easier to live in.

How a gas lift ottoman bed works

A gas lift ottoman bed lifts from the top, so you can access the storage underneath. The lifting system supports the weight as you open it. It also holds the base up securely while you put things in or take them out. Divan Factory Outlet explains the gas-lift mechanism helps with opening and closing, and it stays securely in place once lifted.

That matters if you store heavier items. Think winter duvets, spare pillows, or luggage.

End lift or side lift: choose what fits your room

The opening direction can make or break convenience. It’s not about what sounds best. It’s about what you can actually use day to day.

End lift ottoman storage beds

End lift opens from the foot of the bed. It suits rooms where you have clear space at the bottom. It also works well when you want wide access across the base.

This collection includes Royal Cushioned Ottoman Storage Divan Bed Base Only – End Lift.

Side lift ottoman bed with storage

Side lift opens from the left or right side. It’s often better in tight rooms. It helps when the bed sits close to wardrobes or a window.

This collection includes Royal Cushioned Ottoman Storage Divan Bed Base Only – Side Lift.

Want a stronger “feature bed” look?

If you want more presence at the head end, look at the option that includes a winged headboard and footboard. The page lists Westminster Aladdin Ottoman Storage Bed Base with Winged Floor Standing Headboard and Footboard.

The everyday advantages you’ll notice

A good ottoman base isn’t a gimmick. It makes real life simpler. You stop playing storage Tetris.

Here’s what usually improves first:

• You free up wardrobe space straight away.
  
• You keep spare bedding out of sight.
  
• You store suitcases without blocking walkways.
  
• You tidy kids’ rooms faster, with one lift.
  
• You reduce visual clutter, so the room feels calmer.
  
• You keep things dust-free compared to open baskets.
  

When an ottoman storage bed is the right choice

Some buyers get an ottoman because they “want storage”. That’s fair. But there are clear moments where it makes the most sense.

Choose divan ottoman beds when:

• Your bedroom has limited built-in storage.
  
• You live in a flat with smaller cupboards.
  
• You need a place for guest bedding.
  
• You rotate seasonal clothes through the year.
  
• You want a cleaner look without extra furniture.
  

It’s also ideal for guest rooms. You can store spare duvets and towels inside the bed. The room stays neat even between visits.

Build quality and support under the mattress

A storage bed still needs to feel stable. It has to carry the mattress and the sleeper. It also has to handle lifting again and again.

Divan Factory Outlet points out a solid wooden frame and robust support for the mattress in its ottoman collection description.
That’s the part many people forget to check.

If you’re upgrading from an older base, you’ll usually feel the difference. A steadier base can help your mattress perform better too.

Can you use your current mattress?

In most cases, yes. The collection page includes an FAQ that says you can use any type of mattress, including memory foam, latex, and spring mattresses.
That’s useful if your mattress still has life left.

If you’re replacing both, it’s a good time to match comfort and support. A strong base plus the right mattress gives a better long-term setup.

Sizes and room planning for UK homes

Start by choosing the bed size that suits your room layout, then pick the lift style that will be easiest to use day to day. Divan Factory Outlet offers the most popular UK sizes, including Small Double (4ft), Double (4ft 6in), King (5ft) and Super King (6ft). Once you’ve picked the size, plan for real life. Leave enough space to walk around the bed and check you’ve got room to open it comfortably. If the foot of the bed sits close to a wall or furniture, a side-lift ottoman bed with storage can be more practical. If you’ve got clear space at the foot, an end-lift divan ottoman bed can make access feel simpler and quicker.

FAQs: 

1) What is a divan ottoman bed, in plain terms?

A divan ottoman bed is a divan base with lift-up storage underneath. You raise the top section to reach a large storage area. It’s a smart option for UK bedrooms with limited cupboard space.

2) Is an ottoman divan bed better than drawers for storage?

It depends on your room. Drawers need clear space on the sides to open fully. An ottoman base uses the full under-bed space and opens upward, which can suit tighter layouts.

3) What does “gas lift ottoman bed” mean?

It means the bed uses gas struts to support the lift. The mechanism helps you open and close more easily. Divan Factory Outlet also notes it stays securely in place once lifted.

4) Should I choose end lift or side lift?

Choose based on where you stand when you access storage. End lift is handy if the foot is clear. Side lift often works better near wardrobes or tight foot space. This collection includes both end lift and side lift options.

5) Can I use my existing mattress on an ottoman bed with storage?

In most cases, yes. The Divan Factory Outlet collection FAQ says you can use any type of mattress, including memory foam, latex, and spring mattresses.
If your mattress is very heavy, it’s still worth checking handling comfort.

6) Are ottoman storage beds hard to lift every day?

A well-built gas lift system supports the opening. That makes regular access more manageable than many people expect. Divan Factory Outlet highlights the gas-lift mechanism helps with opening and closing.

The Ottoman collection page shows 3 products listed under “Ottoman Base”.
That makes it easier to compare without scrolling for ages.
