Ottoman beds provide the perfect balance between style and function. Simply lift the bed base up by hand, from either the side or the foot of the bed, to reveal the spacious storage capacity, hidden away under the mattress. Some ottoman beds also feature gas-powered pistons to make lifting, lowering, and keeping the bed up easier while you use it for storage! If you like to dress your bed during the day with a cavalcade of cushions or layers of throw blankets, then ottoman beds allow you to neatly tidy away your accessories before you crawl under the covers.
