In the UK, a standard small double ottoman bed measures *120cm wide by 190cm long* (4ft x 6ft 3in). Perfect for compact bedrooms, this size bridges the gap between single and double beds while offering hidden storage. If you’re browsing for the perfect fit, the small double ottoman bed collection from ComfoRest offers practical solutions for modern homes.
Space-Saving Dimensions Explained
A small double ottoman bed’s 120cm x 190cm footprint provides 50% more width than a single bed, comfortably accommodating couples or solo sleepers who value extra room. Its compact design suits rooms as small as 2.5m x 3.0m, making it ideal for flats, guest rooms, or growing families.
For comparison:
- Single bed: 90cm x 190cm
- Standard double: 135cm x 190cm
The ComfoRest small double ottoman bed collection retains this space-efficient profile while maximising storage.
Storage Capacity Breakdown
Beneath the mattress lies the star feature: up to 0.7 cubic metres of storage – equivalent to 4-5 large suitcases. This space efficiently stores:
- Seasonal bedding
- Towels and linens
- Clothing collections
- Spare pillows or duvets
Hydraulic hinges allow smooth, single-handed lifting, even with a mattress in place. A reinforced base supports weights up to 50kg, ensuring durability for daily use.

- End lift: Better for open foot spaces
Both styles integrate seamlessly into British-made designs like the ComfoRest models, which feature scratch-resistant fabrics and reinforced frames.

What Is an Ottoman Bed?
An ottoman bed is a raised platform bed with under-mattress storage accessed via hydraulic lifts. Unlike divans with drawers, ottomans offer full access to the entire storage area. Historically inspired by Turkish furniture, modern versions prioritise clean lines and practicality. Learn more about ottoman beds.
Why This Size Makes Sense for Modern Homes

- Compromised style in small spaces
