A king-size ottoman storage bed holds up to 1,100 to 1,200 litres of open, unobstructed storage space beneath the mattress. This is more than double the capacity of a four-drawer divan bed, which typically offers around 400 to 500 litres across all drawers. Because there are no internal dividers or runners, you can store large, bulky items like suitcases, rolled duvets, pillows, and seasonal clothing with ease.

Yes. All Sognare Beds Ottoman storage beds use a smooth gas-lift hydraulic mechanism that opens with minimal effort and stays open securely on its own while you access the storage below. There are no props, no latches, and no heavy lifting involved. The gas-lift pistons are built to handle thousands of open-and-close cycles without any loss of performance or need for maintenance under normal use.

Based on the size of your room and the number of people using it, select the size of your ottoman bed. In typical UK bedrooms, a double (4 feet 6 inches) works well for most couples. For master bedrooms where you want the most comfort and storage, a king size (5 feet) is perfect. For single people or small spaces, a small double is ideal. Always measure your room and ensure you have 60 to 80 cm of clearance on the lift side before ordering. Our team at info@sognarebeds.co.uk can advise on the right size for your specific room.

Yes, all standard UK mattress types are compatible with our ottoman storage beds, including memory foam, pocket sprung, orthopaedic, and pillowtop. For the smoothest gas-lift operation, we recommend a mattress between 20 and 30 cm thick. Very heavy or oversized mattresses can add resistance to the lift mechanism over time. All mattresses in the Sognare Beds range are designed to work optimally with our ottoman bases.

Yes, but far less than drawer-based beds. Ottoman storage beds open by lifting the base either from the foot end or the side, so you only need clearance in the direction the bed lifts. We generally recommend allowing around 60 to 80 cm of space on the lift side for comfortable access. This makes ottoman beds a much more practical choice than drawer divans in tighter bedrooms where side clearance is limited.
