Ottoman Storage Beds at Simply Beds & Furniture Ltd Birmingham

An ottoman bed turns the biggest piece of furniture in your home into your biggest cupboard. Gas-lift pistons raise the whole mattress platform, opening up a storage space the full footprint of the bed underneath. For Birmingham homes where wardrobes are full and lofts are awkward, that is often the single most useful upgrade a bedroom can get. We build ottoman beds to order at our Stechford workshop-backed showroom, so the size, the lift direction, the fabric and the headboard are all decided by you.

Customisation matters more with ottomans than most beds because the lift has to work in your room. We offer end-opening and side-opening mechanisms, which means the bed can go against a side wall or under a sloped ceiling and still open fully. You choose the headboard design, from clean and simple through to tall panelled and buttoned styles, and pick from a broad range of upholstery fabrics and colours. Non-standard sizes are available too, which is handy when the room, not the catalogue, dictates what fits.

The mechanism is where cheap ottomans fail, so it is the part we refuse to compromise on. Our beds use properly rated hydraulic gas struts matched to the mattress weight, fixed into solid timber frames rather than thin board that flexes and cracks around the pivot points. The storage area is fully lined, so your bedding stays clean, and the platform holds itself open while you load and unload. It is the kind of engineering you can only really judge by lifting one yourself, which is exactly what our showroom is for.

That is the case for buying local rather than from an online megastore. At 147 Station Road, next to Stechford railway station, you can test the lift with a real mattress on it, feel the fabrics and get straight answers from the family that runs the place. Then we deliver free within around 10 miles of Birmingham and assemble the bed in your room, which matters because an ottoman assembled badly is an ottoman that will not lift properly. NHS and student discounts apply, finance is available weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and our price match guarantee means a genuine like-for-like quote will always be beaten, not just matched.

Ottoman Storage Beds Questions

The storage space runs the full length and width of the bed under the mattress platform, so a double gives you roughly the capacity of a large wardrobe floor. It comfortably swallows suitcases, spare duvets, out-of-season clothes and boxes that would otherwise clutter the loft or the top of the wardrobe.
No. The hydraulic struts do most of the work, so lifting the platform takes a light pull even with a heavy mattress on top. The struts hold the platform open on their own while you load and unload. Come and try one in the showroom, most people are surprised how easy it is.
Yes, we build both end-opening and side-opening ottomans. Side opening is the usual answer for rooms with limited space at the foot of the bed or where the bed sits under a sloping ceiling. Tell us how your room is laid out and we will recommend the direction that works.
A divan gives you separate drawers you can open without disturbing the bed, which suits things you use weekly. An ottoman gives you one much larger space but you lift the mattress platform to reach it, which suits bulky or seasonal items. Plenty of customers pair an ottoman in the main bedroom with a divan in the spare room.
Our beds start from £300, and ottoman prices depend on size, mechanism, headboard and fabric choice. We will price your exact spec clearly at the showroom, and our price match guarantee means if you find a genuine like-for-like quote lower elsewhere, we beat it.
Single, small double, double, king and super king as standard, and because each bed is made to order we can also accommodate non-standard dimensions where your room demands it. Bring your measurements in and we will confirm what is possible.
Yes, provided the struts are rated correctly, which is exactly why we ask what mattress you are using before we build. If you buy the mattress from us at the same time we match the mechanism to it precisely. This is one of the most common failure points on cheap online ottomans, and one of the easiest for us to get right.
Usually a few weeks depending on fabric and spec, and we give you a realistic timescale when you order. If your current bed has collapsed and you need something fast, tell us and we will look at quicker options.
Yes, and with ottomans that genuinely matters. Delivery and assembly are free within around 10 miles of Birmingham, and we fit and test the lift mechanism before we leave so you know it opens smoothly and sits square. We take all the packaging away too.
Yes, we offer flexible finance with weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments arranged around your budget. NHS staff and students also get a discount, so mention it when you enquire.
Yes, the base of the storage area is fully lined rather than open to the floor, so duvets, pillows and clothing stay dust-free. We would still suggest storage bags for anything you are putting away for many months, the same as you would in a wardrobe.
Our beds are covered against manufacturing faults, and gas struts are a serviceable part, so a problem does not mean a new bed. Because we are a local family firm at 147 Station Road, Stechford, you call us directly and we sort it, there is no overseas returns process to fight through.
