Single Ottoman Beds

Single Ottoman Beds With Hidden 3ft Storage

Single ottoman beds are a practical way to add storage to a smaller bedroom without using extra floor space. A 3ft ottoman bed gives you a comfortable single sleeping area with lift-up storage beneath the mattress.

Use the space for spare bedding, seasonal clothes, pillows or items you want close by but out of sight. SoSoftBeds single ottoman beds are ideal for children's rooms, teenagers' rooms, guest bedrooms, box rooms, student rooms and compact apartments.

Why choose a single ottoman bed?

A single ottoman bed is designed for rooms where floor space is limited but storage still matters. The lift-up base turns the area beneath the mattress into a hidden storage compartment, making it easier to keep bedding, spare blankets, school items, seasonal clothes or guest-room essentials organised.

Unlike drawer storage, an ottoman base does not need drawer pull-out space at the side of the bed. That can make a single ottoman storage bed especially useful in narrow rooms, box rooms and layouts with wardrobes, desks or bedside furniture close by.

Single ottoman bed dimensions and storage depths

A single ottoman bed is also known as a 3ft ottoman bed. The mattress size is 90cm wide by 190cm long, making it the standard UK single size for children's rooms, guest rooms and compact adult bedrooms.

Side lift or end lift?

Choose a side lift single ottoman bed if the bed sits against a wall or if side access is the easiest clear route in the room. Choose an end lift ottoman bed if there is space at the foot of the bed and you want front access to the storage area.

For children's rooms, guest rooms and spare rooms, check where wardrobes, desks, radiators and doors sit before choosing the lift direction. The easiest opening style will make the storage more useful day to day.

Single ottoman bed buying notes

Is a single ottoman bed the same as a 3ft ottoman bed?

Yes. In the UK, a single bed is commonly known as a 3ft bed. It measures 90cm x 190cm at mattress size, making it the standard compact bed size for one sleeper.

Best rooms for single ottoman beds

A single ottoman bed works well where storage is limited: guest rooms, children's bedrooms, spare rooms and rentals. It can replace under-bed boxes while keeping the room tidier.

What mattress size do I need?

You need a single mattress, also called a 3ft mattress. If you are buying a new mattress with your bed, check the mattress depth and weight so the ottoman lift mechanism feels comfortable to open.

Should I choose extra deep storage?

Extra deep and super deep ottoman beds are useful if you want to store bulky bedding, winter clothes or larger household items. As a guide, standard ottoman storage is around 26cm deep, extra deep storage is around 33cm and super deep storage is around 39cm. For lighter occasional storage, a standard ottoman base may be enough.

Can I get a 50cm deep single ottoman bed?

Some specialist heavy-duty ottoman beds are designed for deeper storage needs, including 50cm internal storage depth and 60cm ottoman bed height. If a matching single model is available in this category, it is a good option for buyers who need maximum hidden storage.

Choosing the lift direction

Check whether the side or foot of the bed has the easiest access. A single mattress measures 90cm x 190cm, but the finished bed frame may be wider or longer depending on the headboard and upholstery. Choose the lift style that lets you open the storage safely and comfortably.
