Storage space seems to be a matter of utmost consideration regardless of what type of home you live in –condo, apartment, two-bed semi, or a luxurious penthouse. We’re always looking for the latest space-saving innovation to help us declutter and live a stress-free hygienic lifestyle. And this is especially true for the bedroom.
Ottoman beds have a long history and are still very popular today, especially in homes with limited storage space. Ottoman beds provide the comfort and style of traditional box springs, but with the bonus of hidden storage, accessible by simply lifting the top of the frame, which serves as the lid for the stowing compartment. If you’re roaming online for a new bed, here are the top ten reasons why an ottoman is worth considering.
- Absolute comfort
Quality and ottoman beds go hand in hand. Built to last, these frames aren’t just useful for saving space—they’re also extremely supportive. You can’t help but appreciate how comfortable your ottoman bed is when you sleep on it. Ottoman beds are built with all the same features and fittings you’d expect from any top-of-the-line bed to provide you with the utmost comfort and support for a good night’s sleep. In fact, our ottomans are constructed with sprung slatted wooden bases that support your mattress in all the right places while sleeping, cushioning your body. So, you can say goodbye to your neck, back, and joint pains.
- Light on your pocket
An ottoman bed is lighter on your pocket, with prices comparable to a divan or similar style. In fact, when you are buying an ottoman, you are effectively buying two pieces of furniture in one, without spending a fortune. It is not only comfortable to sleep on, but it also has plenty of storage space for extra bedding, clothing, books, accessories—anything else you want to tuck under your bed. If you’re living in a small space or saving money for another buy, an ottoman bed is an excellent low-cost option.
- Extra Storage
One of the primary advantages of sleeping in an ottoman bed is the amount of storage space available beneath your mattress. If you look at the pictures of the Corry bed with ottoman storage, you’ll see what type of storage space we are talking about. When compared to a four-drawer divan bed, you’ll notice how much more storage you get with an ottoman bed. You can choose how to make the most of the available space. Cory beds with storage drawers come pre-assembled with pockets and compartments to make storage even more organized. This is especially useful for the home of children and teenagers. Instead of arguing about their toys and belongings all over the floor, tidying is as simple as opening the lid of their ottoman bed.
- Available in different sizes
Ottoman beds are available in various sizes, ranging from first beds for toddlers to super king-size, and each size is designed for durability and comfort. An ottoman bed lets you make the most of every available centimetre in a small space with limited storage. So, if you live in a small condo or apartment, this is workable.
- Hygienic
Another advantage of having an ottoman is that it is hygienic. The materials used to make this type of bed are selected to reduce the risk of dust mite infestation, and the opening mechanism allows you to inspect and clean the inside of the bed on a regular basis.
- Easy maintenance
Ottoman beds are also simple to clean and care for. Because of their sturdy construction, it is unlikely that you will need to repair it during the typical lifespan. However, if you need to replace a slat or tighten a screw, the design makes it very easy to access these bed parts. Any stains will be lifted with a light detergent, and you can easily clean up the bed by simply opening the lid.
- Long-lasting and durable
Ottoman beds are high-quality pieces of furniture that will last for many years. When looking for a quality bed, the first thing to consider is the frame’s sturdiness. The opening mechanism of an ottoman bed necessitates strength of construction, which is exactly what you’ll find in the majority of these beds. When calculated considering the savings, they can be extremely inexpensive. With proper care taken to maintain the base, an ottoman bed is something you can enjoy for years to come.
- You can use any mattress
Ottoman beds are compatible with any type of mattress, giving you many options for what you sleep on. Ottoman beds have either a slatted base for a softer feel or a hardtop for firmer support. When combined with your preferred mattress type, coil-sprung or pocket sprung, you have many options for creating the ideal combination for you.
- No assembly
If the thought of constructing flat-packed storage furniture makes you cringe, or if the thought of putting together an entire bed does not appeal to you, then an ottoman bed may be just what you need. All of the lifting mechanisms will be in place, and the only thing you may have to do is screw on a headboard, otherwise, an ottoman bed requires no assembly, which means you won’t have to waste your time following building instructions written in another language.
- Versatile yet unique
The versatility of an ottoman is one of the reasons it is such a popular piece of furniture. A single ottoman bed can be used as extra seating, especially in a small apartment or multi-purpose family room. When the ottoman bed needs to be used for sleeping, it’s quick and easy to convert. You’ll never go wrong with an ottoman bed if you want a bedroom that stands out from the crowd. They can also fit any theme you want to go for in your room because they come in various materials. They may have a wooden finish or be wrapped in leatherette or fabric. Choose according to your unique sense of style.
