At The Sleep Co®, craftsmanship isn’t a claim it’s a promise we’re willing to prove. That’s why we partnered with SATRA, the UK’s leading independent testing authority, to verify the strength and performance of our ottoman beds
Behind the Strength of our Ottoman Beds: Precision Engineered Design
Every ottoman bed is crafted from reinforced hardwood and industrial grade gas lift pistons, calibrated for smooth, balanced movement under exceptional load.
It’s this combination of artistry and engineering that allows our bases to glide open effortlessly even under the weight of a luxury mattress and bedding, where others might strain or stick.
Why SATRA Certification Matters
When we say our ottoman beds are SATRA certified to 140kg, it’s more than a number it’s a mark of integrity.
SATRA is one of the UK’s most respected independent testing houses, trusted by furniture and aerospace manufacturers alike. Their certification verifies that our lift mechanisms have been tested under real-world conditions for strength, safety, and longevity.
That means you can trust that your Sleep Co® ottoman bed isn’t just beautiful it’s proven.
The result? Certification confirming our ottoman lift mechanisms can safely support and lift up to 140 kg setting a new benchmark for durability and design integrity in luxury storage beds.
What Does SATRA Certification Mean?
SATRA is a globally recognised testing house that sets the industry standard for quality, performance, and safety in furniture manufacturing and ottoman beds. Their testing process puts products through rigorous simulations of real-world use lifting, loading, and stress testing every component until it proves its strength.
To achieve certification of ottoman bed lifting power at 140kg means our ottoman bases are not only built to perform but proven to endure.
The Sleep Co’s ottoman beds blend sculptural form with flawless function a masterclass in British craftsmanship.”
How We Compare
Where typical ottoman beds lift between 100–120 kg, ours have been independently certified to lift up to 140 kg making them the strongest and most rigorously tested ottomans in Britain.
That’s not a marketing line; that’s SATRA verified performance for our ottoman bed.
Beds Available As Ottomans
The Next Evolution: The Electric Ottoman, Reinvented Safely
While traditional ottoman beds rely on manual gas lift pistons, The Sleep Co® has taken comfort a step further introducing a precision controlled electric ottoman bed.
With a simple push button control, the base glides open and closes effortlessly removing the need for physical lifting entirely. But unlike remote operated systems, our design includes an integrated safety mechanism that prevents accidental activation.
Why does that matter? Because in real homes, safety is everything.
Remotes can be misplaced or triggered unintentionally posing a risk if someone, a pet, or a delicate item is beneath the lid.
Our push button system ensures the ottoman bed can only be operated by deliberate contact, eliminating the chance of accidental operation and ensuring total peace of mind.
It’s strength, safety, and serenity in perfect balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can The Sleep Co® ottoman beds lift?
All our ottoman bases have been independently SATRA-tested and certified to lift up to 140kg including the weight of your mattress and bedding.
This makes them among the strongest and most durable ottoman mechanisms available in the UK today.
Does the 140kg limit include the people sleeping on the bed?
No. The 140kg rating refers to the lifting capacity of the mechanism the total weight it can raise safely.
When closed, the bed’s static load capacity (the weight it can hold while you’re sleeping) is significantly higher, as the frame and base are reinforced hardwood designed to support everyday use comfortably.
What makes your ottoman beds different from others?
Most ottoman beds on the market lift between 100–120kg.
Ours are engineered for 140kg, SATRA certified, and built from solid hardwood frames with heavy duty gas struts or precision electric motors.
Each one combines strength, silence, and British craftsmanship built to last a lifetime and backed by a 15-year structural warranty.
Do you offer electric ottoman bases?
Yes The Sleep Co® Electric Ottoman Range combines motorised convenience with built-in safety.
Unlike remote controlled systems that can be triggered accidentally, ours use a push button control that requires deliberate contact to operate, preventing unintended lifting.
It’s a design that’s as safe as it is sophisticated.
