What Is a Divan Ottoman Storage Bed?
A divan ottoman storage bed brings together two of the most practical bed designs into one powerful package. The base is built like a traditional divan: solid, fully upholstered, and close to the floor. But instead of pull-out drawers, the entire base lifts upward via a gas-lift hydraulic mechanism to reveal a vast, unobstructed storage space underneath.
This design eliminates the limitations of drawer divans. There are no dividers, no runners, and no depth restrictions. The full underbed cavity is yours to use however you need. Bulky items like suitcases, spare duvets, pillows, seasonal clothing, and oversized accessories all fit with ease.
According to research by the HomeOwners Alliance, 72% of UK homeowners cite lack of storage as one of their biggest home frustrations. A divan ottoman storage bed directly solves that problem without adding a single extra piece of furniture to your room.
Why Choose a Divan Ottoman Storage Bed?
Maximum Storage in Minimum Space
A king-size divan ottoman base can hold up to 1,200 litres of storage. That is significantly more than a four-drawer divan, which typically offers around 400 to 500 litres across all drawers combined. If storage capacity is your priority, an ottoman divan is the clear winner.
Solid Divan Base Construction
The divan construction of these beds means the base is fully solid and platform-flat. This provides consistent, even support across the entire mattress surface. For the best results, we recommend pairing your divan ottoman with a pocket sprung mattress or an orthopaedic mattress.
Effortless Gas-Lift Access
Our divan ottoman storage beds use a smooth gas-lift hydraulic system. The base rises with minimal effort and stays open securely while you access the storage below.
