Small Spaces Love Ottoman Beds

Homeowners or renters living in small spaces are well aware of how important ever square is! An ottoman bed is the perfect answer to getting the most out of what small area you have because it’s probably the most multifunctional furnishing you’ll ever own.

Whether you own an urban condo, rent a studio or are living in a dorm room or other small space, ottoman beds are exactly what you need for overnight guests and to make the most of what little space you have. So what makes the convertible ottoman so great for space challenged individuals? Well, what could be more handy, more convenient and more functional? After all, it’s a foot rest, extra seating, a coffee table and a bed all in one neat little package!

So if your living room doubles as your dining room and your maybe even your bedroom, then an ottoman bed is the perfect piece for you! Put it in front of your sofa, top it with a big wooden or plastic tray and use it as a coffee and dining table. Later when friends are over and one wants to stay over, make up the sofa for yourself and then in under a minute, flip open your ottoman to reveal a twin (or even double depending on the style you choose) bed! There’s no sofa pillows to have to store away and when fully open, the measurements are only (for the twin) approximately 26” x 75.” Even you’ve got plenty of room for that!

Why force your guests to sleep on the floor when you can offer them a comfortable, twin size bed to sleep on? The sleeper ottoman is better than a sleeping bag, cot or air mattress because it’s an actual bed instead of a makeshift sleeping area.

Convertible ottomans are made from various materials including leather and micro fiber. Some versions feature an open up bed mechanism concealed by a simple to remove slipcover. That means the cover can be removed for washing, dry cleaning or for replacing at whim. The leather versions usually feature a flip open top that reveals a folded bed inside, much like a convertible sofa bed (but without all those giant pillows.) Other versions are created from foam and don’t have any actual moving mechanical parts but instead simply fold open. The foam ottoman bed is great for your child’s room because there’s no danger of fingers getting caught in metal parts so they’ll be able to open it on their own when friends are spending the night.

No matter where you plan to keep your sleeper ottoman, be sure to order yours today because with the upcoming holidays and out of town guests dropping in, you’ll sure be glad you did!
