Ottoman Storage Bed, 5FT King, Hydraulic Storage, Black

A ottoman storage bed that looks considered rather than showy, with a wide padded headboard, a sturdy slatted base and clean lines that suit both rented flats and family homes. Finished in Black, it brings a soft block of colour without shouting over everything else in the room.

Wrapped in soft PU, the padding holds its loft and the cover keeps a neat, even finish where hands and feet rest most often. The seat platform is reinforced rather than stapled, which is why it does not dip in the middle after a few months.

Key features

• A hydraulic lift mechanism that raises the base to reveal full-width storage
• The slatted base is spaced to let air reach the mattress, which keeps it fresher and helps it keep its shape
• Assembly is straightforward: the frame arrives in labelled sections with the fixings, tools and instructions included
• Packaging: 153.9 x 45.7 x 19.7 cm packed (L x W x H)
• Weight: 29.1 kg
• Materials: PU
• Colour: Black

It works just as happily in a rented flat as in a family home, because the frame breaks down into manageable parts and goes back together with the fittings supplied. Leave a walkway in front so people can get in and out without shuffling sideways.

Keep it looking fresh by brushing the fabric weekly and dabbing spills rather than rubbing; most marks lift with a mild fabric cleaner and a soft cloth.

A solid base for a good night’s sleep, and a piece that keeps the bedroom looking put together.
