Sleek, low and practical, the Lena is the easy way to add storage to any bedroom. This clean-lined ottoman bed base has a low 30cm frame and no headboard, so it sits neatly under a window, in a box room or against a feature wall. Pull the grip handle and the mattress platform lifts on smooth gas struts to reveal a storage area that runs under the whole bed, with ample room for spare duvets, pillows, towels and out-of-season clothes. The storage base is solid, so everything stays clean and off the floor. The Lena arrives flat-packed, so it fits up narrow stairs and through tight doorways, and it goes together quickly and easily. Underneath the soft upholstery is a heavy-duty frame, triple-reinforced with steel bars, built in our Birmingham workshop.

Built to last

Triple-reinforced frame: heavy-duty steel bars run the full length of the bed for extra strength.
No legs: the base sits directly on the floor, so there are no screw-in legs to wobble or snap.
Solid storage base: the storage area has a solid base, keeping stored items clean and off the floor.
Sprung slats: the mattress platform has sprung slats and arrives partly assembled.
Made for heavy mattresses: strong enough for heavier sleepers and deep, dense mattresses without sagging.
Quiet and solid: made in Birmingham with heavy-duty bolts and tee nuts, so it does not squeak or rub.

Frequently asked questions

What is an ottoman bed base?

An ottoman bed base is an upholstered base with a lift-up mattress platform and a large storage area underneath. The Lena is a base only, with a clean, low 30cm frame and no headboard, so it suits minimalist bedrooms and small rooms.

How much storage does the Lena have?

The Lena has a storage area that runs under the whole mattress, with ample capacity for spare duvets, pillows, bedding, towels and out-of-season clothes. Its lower 30cm frame gives a sleek, low-profile look. If you need even more space, the Nora Ottoman Bed Base has a taller 40cm frame with deeper storage.

Is the Lena easy to assemble?

Yes. The Lena is delivered flat-packed, so it fits easily up narrow stairs and through tight doorways, and it is quick and simple to put together at home. The sprung slat platform arrives partly assembled.

How tall is the Lena?

The Lena frame and footboard are 30cm high. Your total bed height will be 30cm plus the depth of your mattress, so it is a good choice if you want a lower bed.

How does the storage open?

Pull the grip handle and the mattress platform lifts up from the foot end on smooth gas struts, opening up the whole storage area underneath. The storage area has a solid base, so stored items stay clean and off the floor.

Is the Lena strong enough for heavier people and heavy mattresses?

Yes. The frame is triple-reinforced with heavy-duty steel bars running the full length of the bed, and it sits directly on the floor with no legs, so it stays solid and quiet.
