Upholstered Ottoman Beds

A bedroom can have enough space for a comfortable bed and still feel short of somewhere to put everything else. Spare duvets occupy wardrobe shelves, winter clothes stay packed in bags, and the guest bedding never quite finds a home. An upholstered ottoman bed brings storage into an area the bed already occupies, with a fabric finish that adds softness to the room.

At Woodlands Furniture, you can explore the listed design, compare its fabric options and ask about the storage configuration before ordering. Start with what your bedroom needs to hold, then choose the size and appearance around it.

Give Bulky Bedding Somewhere to Go

An ottoman storage bed is worth considering when your cupboards are filling up with things you use occasionally. Rather than adding another cabinet, a suitable lift-up base can provide space beneath the mattress for spare linen, seasonal clothing and blankets.

Think about how often you need those belongings. Everyday socks and folded T-shirts are usually easier to reach in drawers; a spare duvet does not need the same immediate access. Dividing storage this way helps you choose furniture for the way you actually use your room.

Before deciding, check the internal compartment measurements. The mattress size alone will not tell you whether a particular storage bag or box will fit.

Explore the Monacco White Glitter Sleigh Bed

The Monacco White Glitter Sleigh Bed is the design currently listed in this collection. Its product page offers bed sizes from single through to super king, including a small double, alongside chenille, crushed velvet, soft velvet/plush and Naples fabric choices.

The fabric selection gives you room to take the design in different directions. A quiet neutral can sit comfortably beside patterned bedding, while a richer colour can make the bed the main feature of an otherwise simple room. Consider the curtains and carpet as well as the wall colour; these larger surfaces will influence how the upholstery looks.

If storage is essential, please ask us to confirm whether an ottoman base is available for this model before ordering. The product description identifies it as a sleigh bed but does not specify a lifting mechanism or storage compartment.

Measure the Frame, Then Plan How You Will Use It

Choosing a bed starts with the mattress size, but it should not end there. Upholstered sides, a headboard and a footboard all contribute to the overall footprint. In a compact double bedroom, those additional centimetres can affect the route to a wardrobe or the space beside a radiator.

Mark the proposed outline on the floor with masking tape. Walk around it, open nearby doors and check that the layout still feels comfortable.

For a bed with a confirmed ottoman base, establish these details before buying:

• Overall frame dimensions: check the full width and length, including the headboard and footboard.

• Opening direction: find out whether the base lifts from the side or the foot end, and where you need to stand.

• Clearance above the bed: consider sloping ceilings, low shelves and anything that could obstruct the raised mattress.

• Storage limits: ask about the compartment’s construction and permitted load before planning what to put inside.

These checks help you judge whether the storage will be convenient to use, rather than simply useful on paper.

Coordinate the Room Without Replacing Everything

A fabric bed does not need an entirely new furniture set around it. Existing timber pieces can provide a pleasing contrast to upholstery, while painted furniture can echo a colour already present in the bedding or walls.

When browsing bedside tables and bedside cabinets, compare their height with the top of your mattress. A bedside surface should be comfortable to reach, with enough room for the things you actually keep there. Check drawer clearance too, particularly where the bed sits close to the cabinet.

Still deciding whether you need integrated storage? Browse the wider upholstered bed frames collection to compare other designs. The useful question is whether extra storage would solve a real problem in your bedroom, or whether your existing cupboards already do the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is a mattress included with the Monacco bed?

No. The Monacco product description states that the mattress is not included. If you plan to keep your existing mattress, confirm its suitability for the chosen base. For any lift-up configuration, ask about permitted mattress dimensions and weight as well.

2. Will the bed need assembling at home?

Yes. The Monacco listing specifies self-assembly. Allow space to unpack the components and follow the supplied instructions. If you need help with installation, ask about available services before placing your order rather than assuming assembly is included with delivery.

3. Is delivery available throughout the UK?

The delivery policy currently covers mainland UK only. Charges and arrangements depend on the address, with additional considerations for certain locations. Check the delivery information and confirm your postcode, bed-specific lead time and any room-of-choice requirements before ordering.

4. How should I clean the upholstered frame?

Follow the care instructions for the fabric you select. Before using an upholstery cleaner, check that it is suitable for that material and test it on a concealed area if the instructions allow. Avoid soaking the fabric, and do not assume that covers are removable or machine washable.

5. Can freshly washed bedding go straight into the storage compartment?

Only once it is completely dry. Thick duvets and folded sheets can retain moisture even when their outer surfaces feel dry. Let them dry fully before packing them away, and avoid filling the compartment so tightly that stored items interfere with the base closing.
