Black Friday 2024: 25 of the best ottoman beds to buy
As the dumping ground for bed linen, towels, and even suitcases, every inch of your bedroom needs to be mined for its storage potential. Beyond wardrobes and drawers, ottoman beds stand out as the smartest of storage solutions, and can be a lifesaver in small spaces.
Ottoman beds are built on pistons or gas struts so you can effortlessly lift the mattress and frame to reveal storage underneath. While a lot of beds have built-in drawers or space underneath to slide boxes and storage bags, none can compare with the amount of space offered by an ottoman storage bed, which runs the length and depth of the bed itself – that's 28 sq ft of storage in a standard double bed.
An ottoman bed frame is usually upholstered, with a boxy silhouette which lends itself to contemporary bedrooms – some of the jewel-toned velvet designs have a boutique hotel feel, while the wooden styles can be very minimal and Scandinavian. Most commonly, an ottoman bed opens from the base, but it can be designed to open from the side as a clever solution for those with limited space to manoeuvre around the bottom of the bed.
Below, we look at 25 of the best ottoman storage beds currently on sale. Take advantage of some fabulous deals this Black Friday, and get more storage for less...
Madison Ottoman Storage Bed Stone Grey
You can't go far wrong with Dusk's timeless Madison ottoman bed in a lovely stone grey linen. The tall headboard – standing 140cm in height – makes quite the statement, and you'd really never know that it was hiding so much storage.
Astley Upholstered Ottoman Storage Bed
We love the bestselling Astley ottoman bed from John Lewis for its unfussy silhouette and sumptuous sage green velvet upholstery. The double, king and super king sizes are all included in the Black Friday sale.
Habitat Pandora Double Ottoman Bed Frame Grey
This is one of Habitat's design triumphs. The Pandora ottoman bed is available via Argos Home in a choice of five colours – this slate grey is our favourite, but the cream comes a close second. The vertical stitching to the headboard is a subtle but elegant touch, and although it doesn't look hefty, its storage capacity is quite something.
Natural Herringbone Multi-Lift Ottoman Bed
This classic design from La Redoute is upholstered in a fine herringbone fabric with a subtle winged headboard panel. You can choose from a side opening or end opening ottoman upon assembly, which is handy for those with limited space to manoeuvre around the bottom of the bed.
Habitat Corin Double Velvet End Lift Ottoman Bed Pink
Pink velvet scalloping is really hard to beat. This is the perfect shade of pink, not too pastel but sufficiently rich and rosy. The end lift ottoman has a hidden mechanism which makes it totally effortless to lift up and stash your bedroom clutter out of site.
Highgrove Bourne Ottoman Bed Frame
The cushioned headboard is the real scene stealer here. With curved and winged sides and a fluted body, it's a dramatic mix of modern and traditional upholstery design. And it's a total steal with £500 off this Black Friday.

Carson Oak Rattan Wooden Ottoman Storage Bed
Wooden ottoman beds are a really safe bet – such a timeless finish is unlikely to ever fall out of favour, and they are versatile enough to fit most tastes. This model has a lovely light oak finish and rattan headboard.
Florence Ottoman Bed Frame
With its tall headboard, slim base and lightweight legs, you'd never guess that this boucle Dunelm bed had so much hidden storage. A lot of ottoman beds sit flush to the floor but this silhouette is a little more refined and less cumbersome.
Pink Linen Upholstered Ottoman Storage Bed
A lot of ottoman beds are upholstered in velvet – there is something about its substantial silhouette and tall headboard that just looks great in an iridescent velvet – but this linen example from John Lewis is just as fabulous if a little more understated.
Messina Curved Ottoman Storage Bed
Compact and curvy, here's another classic design from La Redoute, with a curved headboard and simple grey velvet upholstery. A slim frame makes this a great choice for snug spaces.
House Beautiful Jay Velvet-Finish Ottoman Bed
Jay is a classic velvet-touch ottoman bed with an Art Deco chevron headboard that looks straight out of a boutique hotel. We're really taken with its rich navy blue colourway, which is wonderfully iridescent when applied to the velvet-touch fabric. Jay also comes in a warm cream, perfect for Scandi-inspired spaces.
Habitat Lavendon Side Opening Ottoman Bed
Most ottoman beds – and indeed all of the others on this list – will open from the base to reveal storage beneath. Side-opening ottoman beds are designed to sit against a wall as a clever solution for those with limited space to manoeuvre around the bottom of the bed.
Molle Wooden Ottoman Bed
Without a headboard, this simple wooden ottoman bed will sit almost flush to your wall saving you a bit more space in a small bedroom.
Kipling Double Ottoman Bed

Here's a really elegant choice from Happy Beds with a curved and winged headboard and unobtrusive silhouette. And you can never go wrong with grey velvet.
Southwark Double Ottoman Bed
One for the statement bedroom. The Southwark ottoman is upholstered in a selection of jewel-toned velvets with an Art Deco-inspired curved headboard. Big on style, and even bigger on storage.
Litcham Ottoman King Bed
This Litcham bed from DFS is a classic ottoman design in that it is upholstered in a neutral and versatile fabric (here a grey herringbone) with a contemporary but chunky silhouette and button back. This goes up to a super king size – just think of all that storage.
Loxley Green Velvet Fabric Ottoman Storage Bed
You would never guess that the Loxley was an ottoman bed, as so few are designed with legs – this is a great option if you prefer a lighter silhouette that is lifted off the floor.
