Ottoman Storage Bed, 4FT6 Double, Hydraulic Storage, Blue

This ottoman storage bed gives the bedroom a proper centrepiece: a padded frame you can sit up against, a headboard that softens a plain wall, and a footprint that leaves room to move. The Blue upholstery is the calm centre of the room, easy to pair with pale walls and warm wood.

The Velvet cover feels warm to the touch and is tailored tight over the frame, so it keeps a crisp shape rather than looking loose. The seat platform is reinforced rather than stapled, which is why it does not dip in the middle after a few months.

Key features

• Packaging: 195 x 26.5 x 20.5 cm packed (L x W x H)
• Weight: 23 kg

• Colour: Blue

A good fit for a main bedroom or a spare room, where it leaves space for a bedside table on each side and still leaves a clear walkway. Leave a walkway in front so people can get in and out without shuffling sideways.

A quick vacuum and a light pass with a soft brush keeps the cover neat, and any spill is best blotted at once before it settles into the weave.

A bed frame that looks settled in the room from the first night, rather than something you have to work around.
