When space is at a premium, and you really need your furniture to pull its weight, ottoman beds with storage are just the ticket. We have an ottoman bed in our master bedroom and it has given us so much more storage space and allowed us to hide away lots of belongings that we don’t need constant access to but want to keep handy just in case.
Ottoman beds use the whole underside of the mattress as storage space, with gas struts making it easy to open and close. Some even let you configure them as end- or side-opening ottomans to suit any bedroom configuration.
The best ottoman bed with storage has durable struts and rock-solid construction โ brands like Kaydian Design, Giltedge, Birlea, and Milan Bed Company spring to mind. But you should also think about the style and your bedroom dรฉcor when making a choice.
Also consider storage depth โ the deeper the ottoman storage compartment, the easier it is to cram things in, and whether you want a side or end-opening bed; end-opening ottomans suit middle-of-room beds, but if yours is next to a wall, a side-opening one might be better.
Once you have chosen the best fit for you, here are some great options from Bedstar:

This is one of the ottoman beds with storage that my husband has been eying up for years. I’ve been strictly against this as I don’t believe you should have a TV in the bedroom. However, a TV has snuck in regardless so now I’m regretting not getting one of these because at least the TV would be hidden away when not in use and nobody would be any the wiser.
Do you want an ottoman bed with storage for your bedroom? Will you choose a frame thatโs the focal point or one that will enhance something else, like fancy artwork or curtains? Before choosing, consider your colour scheme and how it will blend into your space.
