Storage Beds (Gas Lift)

Storage Beds with Gas Lift for Smart Organisation

How Gas Lift Storage Beds Work

Gas lift storage beds, also known as ottoman beds, feature a smooth hydraulic lifting mechanism integrated into the bed frame. When you lift the mattress platform — which requires minimal effort thanks to the gas-powered pistons — the entire base opens upward to reveal a large, clean storage cavity beneath the sleeping surface. The lift holds the platform securely in the open position, giving you safe and easy access to the storage space without needing to hold the platform open yourself.

Generous and Versatile Storage Capacity

The underbed storage in a gas lift ottoman bed typically runs the full length and width of the sleeping platform, making it one of the most space-efficient storage solutions available in a bedroom. This large cavity is ideal for bulky items that are used infrequently — spare duvets and pillows, seasonal clothing, suitcases, and extra bedding. Unlike drawer beds, which divide storage into separate compartments, the ottoman's open base provides maximum flexibility for items of varying shapes and sizes.

Choosing the Right Gas Lift Bed

Gas lift storage beds are available in end-opening and side-opening configurations — consider which suits your room layout best, as you will need clearance in the relevant direction to fully open the base. End-opening models are more common and work well in most room configurations. Side-opening models are ideal when the end of the bed is against a wall. Look for high-quality gas struts rated for high daily use, and ensure the base is lined to keep stored items clean and protected from dust.
