Single Ottoman Beds: The Best Storage Beds for Small Rooms

A single ottoman bed is the smartest choice for a small bedroom. It takes up the footprint of a standard single but lifts on gas struts to reveal a deep storage well underneath — reclaiming space you'd otherwise lose to drawers or boxes.

Why a single ottoman bed?

Perfect for kids' rooms, guest rooms, box rooms and student digs, a single ottoman bed stores duvets, spare bedding, toys or seasonal clothes out of sight — keeping a small room tidy and open.

How much can it store?

Even a single frame offers a generous storage well across the whole bed base. The smooth gas-lift mechanism makes it easy to open one-handed. See how much storage an ottoman bed really has.

Side-lift vs end-lift

In tight rooms, choose the lift direction that suits your layout: end-lift works well when the bed sits against a wall on one side; side-lift suits beds with space along one length. Most of our singles offer a choice.

Want a brighter look?

A white ottoman bed in single size makes a compact room feel even more open and airy — ideal if you searched for a white single ottoman bed.

Care & everyday use

Keep stored items below the rim so the base closes flush, and don't overload one end. If the base ever won't shut, here's why an ottoman bed won't close and how to close it safely.
