Ottoman storage beds have become a familiar answer to cramped bedrooms, and the collection at Dream Home Store spans single through to super king sizes, with colourways running from grey and beige to deeper tones across fabrics, headboard shapes, and lift mechanisms. What follows looks at how these frames are built, what separates one style from another, and what buyers have said about the finished product.
What Ottoman Storage Beds Do: Design and Dual Function
An ottoman bed frame solves a simple problem. It gives a bedroom somewhere to put a spare duvet, off-season clothing, or bulky bedding without adding a chest or box to the floor. Instead of opening at the side like a divan, the whole slatted base lifts as one unit, turning the space under the mattress into a single compartment. Dream Home Store‘s range applies that idea across upholstered frames rather than plain bases, pairing the storage with a padded headboard and finished frame.
Velvet Ottoman Storage Beds: Style and Material Options
Velvet is one of the most common fabrics across the range. The Vertical Line Ottoman Storage Bed uses a streamlined, tall-panelled headboard finished in velvet for what the listing describes as a striking, calm look. The Sunrise Ottoman Bed Frame takes a different route, with a sunrise-inspired engraving on the footboard, a wing-shaped headboard, and a metal frame beneath the velvet upholstery. There is also a Vertical Plush Velvet Ottoman Storage Bed with a tall padded headboard, built around the idea of a bed that looks finished from every angle rather than only from the headboard end.
An Arch Plush Velvet Ottoman Storage Bed frame brings a different silhouette again, with a 122cm-high arch headboard that extends beyond the base for a fuller, statement shape. A square-panel version and an LED-equipped model round out the velvet options, the latter adding phone-controlled RGB lighting to the padded headboard for a bedroom that doubles as a study or lounge space.
Linen and Fabric Alternatives in the Collection
Not every buyer wants velvet, so Dream Home Store also lists a Linen Ottoman Bed Frame upholstered in what the brand describes as durable, comfortable linen fabric. It pairs that upholstery with a gas-lift mechanism and is positioned as a blend of comfort, storage, and a plainer, more everyday design. A Jacquard Fabric Ottoman Storage Bed Frame offers another texture option, available in double and king sizes, with a base that rises on two gas pistons so nothing opens at the sides. These fabric alternatives sit alongside the velvet models rather than replacing them, giving shoppers a genuine choice of finish rather than one default material.
Headboard Styles: From Vertical Line to Chesterfield Designs
Headboard shape is one of the clearest ways the range differs from one frame to the next. The Vertical Line design uses narrow upright panelling for a plain, architectural look, while the Horizontal Panelled frame swaps that for wide horizontal channels and padded wings on a 125cm headboard. At the more traditional end sits the Chesterfield Ottoman Storage Bed Frame, with a tall headboard, rolled ends, and button tufting built from engineered wood and upholstered in velvet. A Boucle version with a curved headboard and a Cross Pattern velvet model with a winged headboard add further variety for anyone comparing ottoman storage beds by silhouette rather than fabric alone.
Storage Mechanisms: End Lift, Side Lift, and Gas-Powered Access
The lift mechanism is what actually makes an ottoman bed a storage bed, and Dream Home Store‘s listings describe more than one approach. The Linen Ottoman Bed Frame uses an end-lift gas mechanism, meaning the base rises from the foot of the bed. The Chesterfield frame instead uses a side-lift mechanism, opening the storage compartment from the long edge of the bed. Both rely on gas-lift assistance to raise the slatted base, a feature also mentioned for the Jacquard model, where lifting a strap at the foot of the bed raises the whole base on two pistons.
Customer Satisfaction and Build Quality Across the Range
Dream Home Store‘s reviews point to consistent feedback on ease of assembly and delivery across its bedroom furniture, not only its ottoman beds specifically. One reviewer who bought the Pluva Velvet Ottoman Storage Bed Frame for a child’s room described the build as super easy and rated the quality highly, adding that delivery arrived earlier than expected. The Vertical Line Ottoman Storage Bed carries a rating of 4.9 from several hundred reviews, among the stronger scores across the ottoman bed collection. That pattern of fast, well-packed delivery and straightforward build instructions recurs across the wider site, from wardrobes to dining furniture, suggesting it reflects how the company generally handles despatch and packaging rather than something unique to any single bed.
