Sleep Well For Less - Last Chance
King ottoman beds give you generous sleeping space with storage built into the bed, so spare duvets, pillows and seasonal bedding can sit out of sight beneath the mattress. Choose from over 60 king size ottoman bed frames in fabric and wooden finishes, with end-lift and side-lift designs and next day delivery on selected models.
Free delivery on orders over £100, subject to postcode, and our Price Promise Guarantee come as standard.
A king size ottoman bed solves two main bedroom priorities at once: more personal sleeping space, and storage across the full footprint of the bed without taking up any extra floor area. At 150 x 200cm, a king mattress gives each sleeper 75cm of width and is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than a double. Underneath, the lift-up base holds what might otherwise need a chest of drawers.
Before you choose, measure your room against the external frame size shown on each listing, not just the mattress size. Frames are wider and longer than the mattress they hold, and you also need room to lift the bed open. As an example, one of our best-selling wooden king ottoman beds measures 166 x 216cm externally.
Our UK Bed Sizes Guide explains how to measure. For help with what goes on top, read what makes a good mattress, and for how the lift-up storage works, see What Is an Ottoman Bed?
Use your room width as a first check, then confirm against the frame dimensions on the listing.
| Room Width | Practical Guidance |
|---|---|
| Under 3.2m | A king may be too tight. A double ottoman gives a better result - see double ottoman beds. |
| 3.2m to 3.5m | Measure carefully before committing. A king can work, but clearance will be tight on both sides. |
| 3.5m to 4m | Good clearance for a king. End-lift usually works well in this layout. |
| 4m and above | Consider whether a super king fits - see super king ottoman beds. |
Both add storage beneath the mattress, but they suit different habits and room layouts.
| King Ottoman | King with Drawers | |
|---|---|---|
| Storage capacity | Uses the full footprint beneath the mattress | Split across individual drawers at the sides or foot |
| Clearance needed | End-lift: clear space at the foot of the bed. Side-lift: clear space on the opening side. | Clear space on the drawer side for drawers to open fully |
| Daily access | Lift to access - better for bulky and seasonal storage | Pull out at floor level - better for daily items |
| Can replace a chest of drawers? | Often, yes | Partially |
| Room layout flexibility | End-lift works with furniture on both sides; side-lift needs one side kept clear | Needs the drawer side kept clear |
For most king bedrooms, an ottoman gives you more total storage with fewer layout constraints. If daily access to specific items matters more than capacity, a bed with drawers may suit you better, as long as you have room for the drawers to open. Read our ottoman beds guide for more on choosing storage.
Four things make the biggest difference at king size. Get these right first, then focus on colour and headboard style.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Lift direction | At king size, both sides often have bedside tables, which makes end-lift the practical choice for many king bedrooms. | Which end or side of the bed has enough clear space to lift the bed fully |
| Gas-lift weight limit | King mattresses can be heavier than double mattresses, with more surface area and more filling. | The maximum mattress weight stated on the individual product listing |
| Storage depth | Internal storage height varies between models. | Internal storage height on the product listing |
| Frame quality | A king ottoman is a main bedroom purchase used every night by two people. Match frame quality to the longevity you expect. | Frame material and construction relative to budget |
Material changes how the bed looks and how you look after it. Here's how the two options compare.
| Type | Key Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric / Upholstered | Padded headboard, soft finish, wide range of colours and textures | Main bedrooms where the bed is the visual centrepiece |
| Wooden | Wood or wood-effect finish, structured look, easy to wipe clean | Long-term everyday use and rooms you may redecorate |

Prices vary by material, construction and brand. Compare what you get for the money and how often the bed will be used.

| From £329 to £499 | Fabric and wooden designs with practical gas-lift storage and simpler finishes | Guest rooms, first homes and tighter budgets |
| £500 to £999 | Wider choice of upholstered and wooden designs, headboard styles and finishes | A main bedroom used every night by two people |
| £1,000 and above | Premium branded designs, more fabric and colour choice, and longer manufacturer guarantees on selected models | Long-term investment, or pairing with a premium mattress |

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a king size ottoman bed? | It's a king size bed for a 150 x 200cm mattress, with a gas-lift mechanism that raises the mattress platform to reveal storage underneath. Models open from either the foot end or one side, so you can choose the lift direction that suits your room. |
| How much more storage does a king ottoman have than a double ottoman? | A king mattress is 150 x 200cm, compared with 135 x 190cm for a double, which is roughly 17% more surface area. The storage beneath grows with the bed, but internal dimensions vary by model, so check the internal storage height and frame size on the listing. |
| Is a king ottoman better than a king with drawers? | For most king bedrooms, an ottoman gives more total storage and more layout flexibility. Drawers need clear space on the opening side, which isn't always available when bedside tables sit on both sides. If you need quick daily access to specific items, drawers can be more convenient. |
| Should I choose a king or super king ottoman? | Measure the room first. A super king is 30cm wider than a king, so it needs a noticeably larger room. For most couples in a standard main bedroom, a king ottoman gives the right balance of sleeping space and storage. Use the room planning table above as a guide. |
| Are ottoman beds hard to lift at king size? | No. The gas struts do most of the work. King mattresses can be heavier than doubles, so check the maximum mattress weight on the product listing before you order. Our mattress buying checklist can help you compare mattresses. |
| What styles are available in king size ottoman beds? | King ottomans come in fabric and wooden finishes, with a wide range of colours and headboard designs. At king size, the headboard becomes more of a visual statement, so it's worth choosing a style that suits the rest of the room. |
| Can I buy a king ottoman on finance? | Yes. Finance is available on eligible orders, including interest-free options on selected terms. See our finance page for current eligibility and payment options. |
| What is the best king ottoman for a main bedroom? | It depends on your room. End-lift suits layouts with bedside furniture on both sides, while side-lift works where the foot of the bed is restricted. For a starting point, look for the Land of Beds Best Seller and Expert Choice badges, then compare material, storage height and mattress weight limits. |
