Ottoman and storage beds
How does an ottoman bed work?
The mattress platform lifts on gas pistons to open one large storage space inside the base. Ottoman beds lift from the side or the foot, so check which side of the bed has free floor space before you choose.
Should I choose an ottoman or drawers?
An ottoman base uses the whole space inside the bed and suits bulky items such as duvets and suitcases, but you need to lift the mattress to reach it. Drawers hold less but are easier to reach every day and work when the bed sits close to a wall. Compare ottoman beds and divan beds with drawers.
Sizing and options
What size bed do I need?
| Size | Imperial | Mattress size | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 3ft | 90 × 190cm | Children, small rooms |
| Small Double | 4ft | 120 × 190cm | One adult, guest rooms |
| Double | 4ft6 | 135 × 190cm | Two adults, UK standard |
| King | 5ft | 150 × 200cm | Two adults who want more room |
| Super King | 6ft | 180 × 200cm | Larger rooms |
Leave around 60cm of walking space around the bed where the room allows, and measure doorways and stair turns before ordering.
Which fabrics and headboard heights can I choose?
Most Legend Beds frames come in Plush Velvet, Naples, Conniston, Teddy Bouclé and Marble fabrics, each in a range of colours. Headboard height options are shown on each product page. Free fabric swatches are available before you order.
Does the price include a mattress?
No. Frames are priced without a mattress. You can add a mattress as an option on the product page.
How the beds are made
Every Legend bed is made to order and upholstered in our Dewsbury workshop in the size, fabric and options you choose. We sell direct from the workshop, with no middleman.
How should I care for the fabric?
Vacuum with a soft brush head. Blot spills, never rub. Do not steam clean, bleach or use solvents, and keep the bed out of direct sunlight, which fades every fabric over time.
