What Are Ottoman Beds Used For?
Ottoman beds are designed to do more than just provide a comfortable place to sleep. Their main feature is the storage space hidden beneath the mattress, which makes them ideal for keeping your bedroom organised. They’re perfect for storing extra bedding, seasonal clothes, shoes, or even larger items that don’t have a permanent home. Many people also use them in smaller bedrooms or apartments to maximise space without adding bulky furniture. Beyond storage, Ottoman beds can also enhance the overall look of your room, offering a sleek and stylish foundation that complements your décor.
Choosing the Right Ottoman Bed Size
Choosing the right Ottoman bed size ensures comfort, functionality, and a perfect fit for your bedroom. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:
- Single (90cm x 190cm): Ideal for solo sleepers or smaller rooms. Offers compact under-bed storage for essentials like bedding or pillows.
- Small Double (120cm x 190cm): Perfect for single sleepers who want extra space or cosy bedrooms. Provides moderate storage for linen, blankets, or seasonal items.
- Double (135cm x 190cm): Suitable for couples in standard bedrooms. Offers a decent storage area for bedding, pillows, and other items.
- King (150cm x 200cm): Great for larger rooms and couples wanting more sleeping space. Provides ample storage for duvets, cushions, and bulkier items.
- Super King (180cm x 200cm): Best for spacious bedrooms. Offers maximum storage capacity for all your bedding, boxes, and extra belongings.
