Pia Short Length Ottoman Storage Bed Base

Last updated: 4 November 2026

Short on space? The Pia is designed for it. This clean-lined ottoman bed base has a shorter frame that is only 4cm longer than the mattress, so it fits box rooms, loft rooms and bedrooms where every centimetre counts. There is no headboard and no bulky footboard, just a neat upholstered base. Lift the mattress platform on smooth gas struts and you will find a storage area that runs under the whole bed, ready for spare duvets, pillows, towels and out-of-season clothes. The storage base is solid, so everything stays clean and off the floor. Underneath the soft upholstery is a heavy-duty frame, triple-reinforced with steel bars, built in our Birmingham workshop.

• Triple-reinforced frame: heavy-duty steel bars for extra strength.

• Sprung slats: the lifting platform has sprung wooden slats on a steel frame.
• Quiet and solid: made in Birmingham with heavy-duty bolts and tee nuts, so it does not squeak or rub.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the Pia?

The Pia frame is 194cm long in Single, Small Double and Double, and 204cm long in King and Super King. That is only 4cm longer than the mattress, so it fits rooms where a standard bed would be too long.

What size mattress does the Pia take?

The Pia takes a standard UK mattress: 190cm long in Single, Small Double and Double, and 200cm long in King and Super King.

Does the Pia come with a headboard?

No. The Pia is an ottoman bed base only, with no headboard, so it sits neatly under a window or against a feature wall. You can pair it with one of our floor standing headboards if you want one.

How does the storage open?

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 Pia strong enough for heavier people and heavy mattresses?

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