How Much Does an Ottoman Bed Cost in the UK? (2026 Prices)

UK ottoman bed prices vary widely by size, fabric and build quality. Here's a realistic breakdown of what to expect.

Typical price ranges by size

• Single: from around £150–£300
• Double / small double: from around £200–£400
• King size: from around £250–£450
• Super king: from around £300–£550

Prices climb from there for premium fabrics like velvet or bouclé, matching headboard-and-footboard sets, or beds bundled with a mattress.

Why ottoman beds cost more than standard frames

You're paying for the gas-lift mechanism, reinforced frame needed to support it, and (usually) more fabric for the upholstered base and headboard — not just the bed, but the storage furniture it replaces.

What affects the price most

• Fabric type — velvet and bouclé typically cost more than plain linen-weave fabrics
• Frame material — solid timber costs more than chipboard but lasts far longer
• Headboard style — tall, curved or wingback headboards use more material than simple panel designs
• Mattress bundles — buying frame and mattress together is usually cheaper than separately

Is a cheap ottoman bed worth it?

The mechanism is where quality matters most — a cheap frame with underrated struts will need replacing sooner and can feel unreliable. Spending a bit more on the frame and struts pays off over the bed's lifespan.
