Why choose an ottoman base?
An ottoman base turns the whole space under your mattress into storage, with room for duvets, pillows, towels, suitcases and out-of-season clothes. The mattress platform lifts from the foot end on smooth gas struts, so nothing needs space to pull out at the sides, and the solid storage floor keeps everything clean and off the carpet. Without a headboard, a base suits minimalist rooms, sloping ceilings and spaces where a headboard would block a window or radiator.
Adding a headboard
Already have a headboard you love? Keep it. Want a new one? Our floor standing headboards and large wall fixing headboards stand on their own, so they work with any of our bases. See our full range of headboards, made to order in the same fabrics. If you would rather buy it all in one, browse our ottoman storage beds with headboards.
Built to last
Every base has a heavy-duty, triple-reinforced frame with steel bars and sits directly on the floor with no legs, so it stays solid and quiet. Read more about why a reinforced frame matters.
Sizes and mattresses
All our ottoman bases come in 3ft Single, 4ft Small Double, 4ft6 Double, 5ft King and 6ft Super King, and take any standard UK mattress. Exact dimensions are on each product page, and our UK bed sizes guide compares every size. Choose a mattress from our mattress range.
Fabrics and colours
Choose from Atlanta Soft Teddy, Smooth Velvet, Linen-Textured, Chenille and Wool-Textured Tweed in a wide range of colours. Order free fabric samples to see them at home before you buy, or match a headboard you already have.

An upholstered bed base with a lift-up mattress platform and a large storage area underneath. It is sold without a headboard, so you can use your own or add one of ours.

Which base has the most storage?
The Nora, Constance and Rosa have taller 40cm frames for deep storage. The Lena has a lower 30cm frame for a sleeker look with ample storage.
