Assembly Instructions
Ottoman Bed Gas Lift Assembly Instructions
How To Assemble Your Ottoman Bed
Welcome to your dream bed setup! Assembling an ottoman bed is a straightforward process when you follow these instructions carefully. Take your time to unpack each component and familiarize yourself with all the accessories before beginning.
Tools Required: Spanners and Allen keys (all bolts and hardware are supplied).
Preparation & Safety Guidelines
Prepare Your Space:
Ensure you have adequate room space for assembly and final positioning. Clear the area completely and lay down protective material on the floor to prevent damage to your flooring.
Important Assembly Points:
- Workspace: Ensure you have a spacious, dry area for assembly
- Tools: Have all appropriate tools assembled and easily accessible
- Foundation: Ensure all legs make firm contact with the ground
- Power Tools: Do NOT use power tools as they may damage the product
- Assembly Order: Do not fully tighten screws until all parts are positioned
- Safety: Do not use the bed while installing the lifting mechanism
- Testing: Check all mechanisms operate properly before use
Step 1 - Fitting Chrome Feet/Castors
Simple push-fit installation: Push the chrome feet into each socket on the base unit. You'll need 4 chrome glides per base unit.
Ensure each foot is fully seated and secure before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2 - Connect Gas Pistons
Gas Piston Installation: Connect the gas pistons to both the lid hinge points and base hinge points using the supplied bolts. Gas pistons can be fitted either way round.
Optional Safety Gas Piston Lock: If supplied, fit the safety gas piston lock to the top hinge point. Ensure correct installation so it can lock the lids in the open position when accessing storage.
Note: The safety lock can be removed when the storage area is no longer being accessed.
Step 3 - Position the Ottoman Bed Base Units
Correct Positioning: Set the ottoman base units into their final position with rounded corners facing outward (as shown in the illustration).
Ensure both units are level and properly aligned before proceeding to the connection step.
Step 4 - Fit U-Clips Between Base Units
Securing the Bases: Slide the 2 U-clips into position to securely connect the two base units together.
Ensure the clips are fully engaged and the bases are firmly connected before proceeding.
Step 5 - Secure The Ottoman Bed Lids
Synchronised Lid Operation
Lid Connection: Using the supplied 100mm plastic-headed bolt, secure the lids together. This enables synchronized lifting of both lids and mattress as a single unit.
Ensure the bolt is properly tightened but do not over-tighten to avoid damage to the lid material.
Step 6A - Securing Headboard (End Lift Beds)
End Lift Headboard Installation
Locate Mounting Holes: Open the bed base and locate the headboard mounting holes. Look for position stickers that mark the correct locations.
Floor Standing Headboards: Use the short bolts to secure the headboard directly to the base.
Strut Headboards: Follow the same procedure if your headboard has wooden support struts.
Step 6B - Securing Headboard (Side Lift Beds)
Side Lift Headboard Installation
Locate Mounting Points: Prior to fitting, locate the holes on the base unit by running your fingers over the bolt hole positions. Position stickers should be visible.
Floor Standing Headboards: Secure the headboard using 4 x 100mm long bolts and position the spacers between the headboard and base units.
Strut Headboards: Repeat the above procedure for headboards with wooden struts.
Assembly Complete!
Congratulations! Your ottoman bed is now ready for use.
Important Safety & Usage Notes
- Effortless Operation: These ottoman beds are designed to require minimal effort to lift the mattress and access storage
- Mattress Installation: Two people are required to place the mattress on the bed base
- Installation Process: One person must hold the lids down while the second person positions the mattress on the base
- Safety Lock Recommended: We strongly advise purchasing our safety lock mechanism for added security during storage access

FAQ
FAQ - Ottoman Bed Questions
Welcome to SoSoft Beds' Ottoman Bed FAQ! Here you'll find answers to the most common questions about our ottoman storage beds. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us - we're happy to help!
-
Q1: What sizes are available for ottoman beds?
A1: Our ottoman beds are available in all standard UK sizes: Single (90cm x 190cm), Small Double (120cm x 190cm), Double (135cm x 190cm), King Size (150cm x 200cm), and Super King (180cm x 200cm). All sizes can accommodate standard UK mattresses.
-
Q2: How much storage space do ottoman beds provide?
A2: Our ottoman beds offer exceptional storage capacity. Standard models provide 37cm storage height, while our deep storage options offer 47cm height. A double bed typically provides approximately 0.5-0.7 cubic meters of storage space - enough for seasonal bedding, pillows, blankets, and clothing.
-
Q3: Are ottoman beds easy to lift and operate?
A3: Absolutely! All our ottoman beds feature heavy-duty hydraulic gas pistons that make lifting the mattress platform completely effortless. The gas-assisted mechanism means you can easily lift the bed even when the storage compartment is fully loaded. The pistons are rated for thousands of operations.
-
Q4: What's the difference between side lift and end lift ottoman beds?
A4: Side lift ottoman beds open from the side (usually the right side when facing the bed), while end lift opens from the foot of the bed. Side lift is ideal when you have limited space at the foot of the bed, while end lift provides easier access when the bed is positioned against a wall. Both offer the same storage capacity.
-
Q5: How strong and durable are ottoman beds?
A5: Our ottoman beds are built to last. They feature premium timber construction with MDF-lined bases, hidden cross beams for extra strength, and commercial-grade gas pistons. The storage platform can support up to 150kg, and all beds come with a 5-year structural warranty covering frame, hinges, and gas pistons.
-
Q6: Do ottoman beds come with mattresses included?
A6: Ottoman beds can be purchased as base-only or with optional mattresses. We offer a wide range of mattress options including memory foam, pocket spring, and hybrid mattresses. You can also use your existing mattress if it's in good condition and fits the bed size.
-
Q7: Are ottoman beds suitable for everyday use?
A7: Yes, ottoman beds are designed for daily use as your primary bed. The robust construction, sprung slat base, and quality materials ensure excellent comfort and support. The storage mechanism is built to withstand regular access to your stored items without compromising the bed's integrity.
-
Q8: How difficult is it to assemble an ottoman bed?
A8: Ottoman beds typically take 45-60 minutes to assemble with basic tools. All beds come with comprehensive instructions and all necessary fittings. The modular design means heavy lifting is minimal. We also offer a professional delivery and assembly service for £49.99 if you prefer.
-
Q9: What fabrics and colors are available for ottoman beds?
A9: We offer an extensive range of premium fabrics including Plush Velvet, Crush Velvet, Chenille, Linen, and Teddy Boucle in various colors. Popular choices include Grey, Charcoal, Navy, Cream, and Mink. All fabrics are selected for durability and easy maintenance.
-
Q10: Do you offer delivery and what are the costs?
A10: We offer free standard delivery throughout the UK mainland. Standard delivery includes bringing the bed to your door in flat-pack format. For £49.99, we offer premium delivery and assembly service where our team will deliver, assemble, and position your bed in your chosen room, plus remove all packaging.
-
Q11: What warranty do you provide on ottoman beds?
A11: All our ottoman beds come with a comprehensive 5-year structural warranty covering the frame construction, gas pistons, hinges, and all mechanical components against manufacturing defects. This demonstrates our confidence in the quality and durability of our products.
