We’ve used GB beds a few times over the years and recently for a couple of double beds. Very helpful in the showroom & delivering goods, they offer to help get your bed upstairs. We required help with the second bed which was done quickly, professionally and willingly with care added with home wall obstacles and even attached together. Great service all round and would definitely recommend and return for any further required furniture. Thank you.

I sent a message to this company through messenger and got a very prompt reply. I needed to buy a mattress for my extremely poorly mum and I was supported in doing this by the team here. They MADE the mattress quickly and it was delivered to my parents house 2 days after ordering!! As my mum is so poorly, they even sent her a small gift ❤ Fantastic service and amazing kindness. Will definitely recommend this company and use them again. Thank you

Thank you so much for an amazing service you provided for me. I needed a double bed to fit in a gap which was smaller than the length of a normal size bed & you made/built my bed to the specification I needed. Thank you so much 5* from me.

Frequently Asked Questions

A side-opening ottoman bed is a type of storage bed that’s designed with a gas-lift system. The storage lid opens from the side, hence the name. Inside the handy storage compartment, you can store anything you don’t want on show. This could be spare bedding, electronics, seasonal clothes and much more. Around Christmas, birthdays and other celebrations, you can even use it as a discreet hiding spot for surprise gifts! 

Many people find that the side-opening type is more suited to their room layout and provides them with better access to their storage each day. If you have surrounding furniture or walls that may restrict the movements of an end-opening ottoman bed, the side opening option may be the better choice for you. 

Absolutely! You can make the side-opening ottoman bed feel like it’s truly yours by selecting your fabric, headboard style, sizes and colours. After you’ve finished customising your ottoman, you’ll have a bed that’s made bespoke for you, suiting your interior style and day to day living. 

If you’re unsure which colours and styles to go for, why not read our guide on How to Choose The Right Ottoman Bed For Your Bedroom Decor? Here, we’ll walk you through which colours, fabrics, headboards to choose, with so many other tips. 

Whether you go for a side-opening or an end-opening ottoman bed really depends on your personal tastes, but it also largely depends on your room layout and size. We recommend that you choose an ottoman bed whose lid can freely move without being restricted by any furniture, walls or other obstructions. 

A simple way to determine whether or not a side opening ottoman bed is good for you is by measuring your space and assessing your surrounding areas. For example, if one side of the bed has a clear area, while the foot of the bed is close to a wall or furniture, then a side-opening ottoman bed is likely to be the better choice. Alternatively, if you have more space at the foot of the bed than along the sides, an end-opening ottoman bed may be the right one for you. 

As a general rule of thumb, long and narrow bedrooms often suit end-opening ottoman beds more, while wide open bedrooms with a clear space along one side often suit side-opening ottoman beds. However, we always recommend you to measure your space beforehand to double check. 

When the bed is open, you’ll want enough space for you to stand and comfortably lift items in and out of the bed. Ensure that any surrounding bedside tables, wardrobes or desks won’t obstruct you as you lift the ottoman bed lid or get up during the night. 

Side-opening ottoman beds have a lot of benefits, with their fabric choices, headboard options and so much more. Side-opening ottoman beds are an ideal choice for bedrooms where the foot of the bed is positioned close to a wall, wardrobe or other furniture, but there is a clear space along one side. Let’s dive a bit deeper into their key benefits, so you’ll have more of an insight as to what they’re like from day to day. 

Beautiful Fabrics 

Our wide curation of beautiful fabrics enables you to customise your bed in line with your personal preferences and interior style. You might be a fan of the bold colour tones, or rustic brown shades may suit your decor a bit more. Whatever your tastes, you’re bound to find the right one that makes your bedroom feel cosy and inviting. Order a fabric sample to see which shade suits your interior style the most! 

Various Headboard Options

Make your side-opening ottoman bed feel complete with one of our stunning headboards, and make it the main focal point of your bedroom. Choose from either floorstanding headboards or strutted headboards for a comfortable experience as you watch TV or read a book. With a range of both classic and modern designs, you can add character to your home with your preferred headboard style. 

Generous Storage Space  

With a large storage compartment inside the ottoman bed, you can store so many items inside it. This is a great way to free up more floor space and transform your bedroom into a cosier space. After all, a tidier space makes for a mind! 

To take your organisation to the next level, you could even use vacuum packed bags to shrink the size of bedding and pillows down to more than half their size. Storage boxes can also help keep things separate and in their own designated space.

Various Size Options Available 

For side-opening ottoman beds, there are so many size options available. From small single ottoman beds to king sizes, you’re sure to find the perfect fit for your bedroom. Whether you live in a small apartment, you’re looking for a bed for the spare guest bedroom, or you’re in need of a large storage ottoman, there's a size for every room or lifestyle.
