Small Double Ottoman Beds For Space-Saving Storage

A small double ottoman bed gives you more sleeping space than a single bed while still fitting neatly into compact bedrooms. The 4ft size is a popular choice for guest rooms, teenagers' rooms, smaller master bedrooms and homes where built-in storage matters.

At SoSoftBeds, our small double ottoman beds combine upholstered bed frames with lift-up storage, giving you a practical place for bedding, spare pillows, clothes and everyday bedroom essentials without needing extra drawers or bulky storage furniture.

Why choose a small double ottoman bed?

A 4ft ottoman bed is designed for rooms where every inch matters. It gives one sleeper a more comfortable width than a single, while the lift-up base creates a large hidden storage area for seasonal bedding, spare duvets, towels, shoes or folded clothes.

Because the storage opens from the mattress platform, a small double ottoman can be easier to live with than drawer storage in narrow rooms where bedside tables, wardrobes or radiators reduce side clearance.

Small double ottoman bed dimensions and storage depths

A small double ottoman bed is also known as a 4ft ottoman bed. The mattress size is 120cm wide by 190cm long, giving a useful middle ground between a single bed and a standard double. Use the guide below to compare the main size, room and storage-depth details before choosing your bed.

Side lift or end lift?

Choose a side lift small double ottoman bed if the bed sits against a wall or if you naturally access storage from one side of the room. Choose an end lift ottoman bed if there is clear space at the foot of the bed and you want storage access from the end.

For spare rooms and box rooms, measure where doors, wardrobes and bedside furniture sit before choosing the lift direction. The right opening style can make the storage feel much easier to use day to day.

Small double ottoman bed guide

Is a small double ottoman bed the same as a 4ft ottoman bed?

Yes. In the UK, a small double bed is commonly known as a 4ft bed. It is wider than a single bed and narrower than a standard double, making it a useful middle size for compact bedrooms.

Who should choose a 4ft ottoman bed?

A small double ottoman bed is ideal when a double feels too large but a single feels too narrow. It is a strong option for one adult, a guest room, or a bedroom where extra storage is more useful than extra floor furniture.

What mattress size do I need?

You need a small double mattress, also called a 4ft 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 small double 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 small double model is available in this category, it is a good option for buyers who need maximum hidden storage.

Measure before ordering

Check the bed footprint, headboard height and lifting clearance. A small double mattress measures 120cm x 190cm, but the finished bed frame may be wider or longer depending on the headboard and upholstery. If the foot of the bed is clear, an end lift can work well. If side access is easier, choose a side lift design.
