FAQ
Ottoman Oak Beds
-
What is an ottoman bed?+ -
An ottoman bed features a lift-up base that reveals hidden storage underneath the mattress. It’s an excellent space-saving solution, combining elegant oak furniture with practical, easy-access storage.
-
Can I request a space-saving version that matches my mattress size?+ -
Absolutely. While our ottoman beds are built as standard with the mattress sitting 40mm inside the frame for security, we can craft a space-saving ottoman bed that exactly matches your mattress dimensions—no frame overhang—for a tighter, more efficient footprint.
-
Are the beds easy to open and close?+ -
Yes. Both gas strut and electric models are designed for smooth operation. The gas struts are counterbalanced for ease of lifting, and the electric system is virtually silent and requires minimal effort.
-
Can I customise the finish?+ -
Yes. We offer two standard finish options: • A Superior Danish Oil finish, which enhances the natural beauty of the oak while providing a durable, low-sheen protective layer. • A sanded and ready-to-finish option, ideal if you want to apply your own finish at home. This is a great choice if you’d like to match existing joinery or woodwork in your home—for example, using Osmo Oil or another specific treatment to achieve a consistent look throughout a room or property.
-
Do you offer both end and side opening options?+ -
Yes, we do. The right choice depends on the layout of your bedroom and how you prefer to access your underbed storage: • End opening ottoman beds lift from the foot of the bed—ideal if you want to access your belongings from the front of the bed. This is a great choice for bedrooms with more space at the foot of the bed. • Side opening ottoman beds lift from the left or right side—perfect for accessing storage from the side, especially useful in narrow or corner bedrooms where space at the foot is limited. Both options offer the same amount of internal storage and are equally smooth to operate. Let us know your room layout and we’ll help guide you to the best fit.
-
What lift systems do you offer?+ -
We provide two ottoman lift mechanisms: • Gas struts – A manual lift system that’s smooth, strong, and easy to operate. • Electric lift – Dual motors synchronised for effortless, button-activated opening and closing—ideal for convenience and accessibility.
-
Are your ottoman beds handmade in the UK?+ -
Yes. Every ottoman bed is carefully handcrafted in our UK workshop by experienced furniture makers using solid oak and high-quality components. We take pride in building long-lasting beds that combine traditional joinery with modern functionality. In addition, we stock spare parts here in the UK—so if you ever lose components during a house move, or change your mattress and need gas struts with a different strength rating, we can supply replacements quickly and easily. This ensures your ottoman bed continues to perform smoothly and safely for years to come.
-
Do your ottoman bed frames come with mattress stoppers or retaining bars?+ -
Do your ottoman bed frames come with mattress stoppers or retaining bars? Yes, absolutely. Every ottoman bed frame includes a mattress retaining bar as standard. This essential component keeps the mattress securely in place when the bed is lifted, ensuring it doesn't shift while you access the storage beneath. It’s a simple but vital feature that guarantees a smooth and safe lifting experience—part of the comprehensive, well-engineered design we build into every ottoman bed.
