Why a Super King Ottoman Bed Changed the Way I Sleep Forever

A few months ago, I made one of the best home upgrades I’ve ever invested in—a super king ottoman bed. To be honest, I didn’t realize how much of a difference a bed could make until I experienced this one. Not only did it instantly transform the look and feel of my bedroom, but it also solved a major storage issue I didn’t even know I had.

If you’ve ever dreamed of a bed that offers space, style, and smart functionality all in one, keep reading. Let me walk you through why this bed is a total game-changer—and why it might just be the perfect fit for your home, too.

What Exactly Is a Super King Ottoman Bed?

Let’s start with the basics.

A super king ottoman bed combines the spacious dimensions of a super king bed (that’s 6 feet wide by 6 feet 6 inches long) with the hidden storage power of an ottoman base. The mattress lifts up—usually with the help of a gas-lift mechanism—to reveal a huge amount of storage space underneath.

It’s like having an extra closet you didn’t have to build.

I live in a Victorian terraced house where storage is a premium, and switching to a super king ottoman bed was honestly life-changing. I now store all my seasonal bedding, suitcases, and extra throws under there—neatly out of sight, but right within reach.

The Beauty of Big Space and Even Bigger Comfort

One of the main reasons I upgraded was simple: I needed more room to sleep.

I’m tall. My partner sprawls. The dog somehow ends up with 30% of the mattress. A standard double was just not cutting it. With a super king ottoman bed, we both sleep like royalty, and there’s still room left over.

And trust me—it’s not just about size. When paired with a high-quality mattress, the comfort is unmatched. It feels like sleeping in a boutique hotel every night. Add to that the chic upholstered frame and clever design, and you’ve got both form and function at their finest.

Super King Ottoman Bed: Storage Meets Style

When people hear “ottoman bed,” they often think of clunky mechanisms or dated designs. But today’s models are sleek, modern, and beautifully built.

My personal favourite? A wingback ottoman bed upholstered in soft grey velvet, with a tall, cushioned headboard that makes a serious style statement. It feels luxurious, and yet incredibly practical.

If you're a fan of traditional design, you might love Chesterfield wingback beds with deep button detailing. These pair beautifully with classic decor and bring a sense of timeless elegance to any bedroom.

And if you're short on space in other rooms? A deep buttoned Chesterfield single bed with an ottoman base is perfect for guest rooms, kids’ rooms, or studio flats where every inch counts.

Real-Life Example: Sarah’s Space-Saving Makeover

Let me tell you about my friend Sarah. She lives in a two-bedroom flat in London with her husband and toddler. The second bedroom had to function as a guest room, playroom, and home office—a big ask for a small space.

She opted for a deep buttoned Chesterfield single bed with ottoman storage. Not only did it look stunning in the room, but she could also hide away toys, spare duvets, and even her printer underneath. Now, the room looks chic and uncluttered—and guests never guess it’s doing triple duty.

In her master bedroom, they went for the super king ottoman bed in a neutral oatmeal fabric. Sarah jokes that it’s the most adult purchase she’s ever made—and the most rewarding.
