Anybody got an ottoman storage bed?
Jump to: Newest in thread
As above if so are there any negatives in having one? It seems like a good idea but you still need some organisational boxes underneath like we’ve got at the moment, it would appear good to be able to see each box without having to take them all out?
Thoughts please. Many thanks. |

We have one, it's very good. We've never felt the need for boxes though.

I regret not getting one. There is space under your bed that otherwise would go waste. A great place to keep your spare sheets and pillows covers. A little bit more expensive and makes the whole thing heavier. But I think it's worth it. |

Thanks I guess it depends what you’re storing, at the moment we use plastic boxes which slide under the bed, but if we had an ottoman think we’d still have the need to keep things in containers, for dust & organisation purposes. |

"Silly question, is it the mattress that lifts up, we don’t have to make/re-make the bed every time we want to go underneath?"
I have one and yes it’s the mattress that lifts up.
My advice is buy a decent one with good pneumatic hinges as lifting the weight of the mattress can over time bend the hinges if they are not strong enough |

Mine is very heavy to lift, at King size but a godsend for extra storage.
Only real downside for me, both of us being tall, is we didn't take in to account of how low to the ground they can be which is quite problematic for us. Wish I'd done more research |

My mattress and the base tops can lift up together, although
That does make for a heavy lift, which is not ideal with my back and hips... |

"I have one. Not ideal for stashing the bodies for too long, though...
You need to bag them first
Do you recommend using those vaccuum bags?"
Bin bags and yards of gaffer tape to get a good seal |

They great, you can store lots underneath especially if you use the vacuum bags mentioned. Habitat have one with secret shelves behind the headboard too for those sex toys/lubes/etc that you need easy access to |

Why does it go to waste ? I have suitcases full of stuff under my bed frame |

They're a pain in the arse.
I was given an ottoman Base when I moved darn sarf. Couldn't refuse it as I didn't have a bed, but got rid after 3 months.
When I got married, the ex wanted one. I caved.
I was glad she took it with her when she left.
Now, it's continental drawer divans all the way.
The ones with the half drawer at the head end so you don't have to keep moving the bedside cabinets. Good for pillow cases and raunchy stuff.  easy to grab hold of.... |

Ours the steel frame the mattress sits on lifts up
So you don’t have to remake the bed
Just lift , chuck stuff under and then push it back down |
