The Sleep Co Ottoman

The ottoman bed, reconsidered by people who actually make beds.

Most ottoman beds fail at year two. The gas struts go. The base sags. The mechanism stops lifting under a real mattress. Ours don't. Because we engineered ours the way our family has been building beds since 1968: for the homes of customers who plan to sleep on it for the next fifteen years.

SATRA tested to two hundred and fifty kilos, on a steel mechanism with German gas struts, on a solid timber base that doesn't flex when you lift a fifty kilo mattress. The same engineering brief we built originally for Harrods, Harrison Spinks and ViSpring. Now sold direct.

Lift a fifty kilo mattress with one hand.
The Engineering

Lift a fifty kilo mattress with one hand.

The mechanism is the difference between an ottoman bed you use every week for fifteen years and one you stop opening after eighteen months.

Why Ours Last

The fifteen-year guarantee is the easy bit. Here's what it's built on.

Side by side, a £899 ottoman bed and a £2,499 ottoman bed look identical on the website. In a showroom, you can see the difference in five seconds. Here's what to look at.

The Sleep Co Ottoman

  • SATRA independently tested to 250kg load rating
  • Solid kiln-dried hardwood frame, glued and screwed at every joint
  • German gas struts, replaceable for life
  • Solid timber storage base supports 60kg natural mattresses
  • Hand-stuffed upholstery, hand-finished by people we employ
  • Fifteen-year structural guarantee in plain English

Typical High Street Ottoman

  • Mechanism rated for 30kg, fails under heavy mattresses
  • Pine and chipboard frame, stapled construction
  • Chrome stamped gas struts, three year service life
  • Particle board base, sags under load over time
  • CNC foam wrapped in fabric, fades and degrades
  • Twelve-month guarantee with sleep-through exclusions
The Guarantee

Fifteen years, against one.

We can guarantee the bed for fifteen years because we made every part of it and we hold the parts to repair it. Most sellers cannot, so they do not.

The Sleep Co
15 years

Structural guarantee in plain English. No sleep-through exclusions. Pistons and parts available for life, sent direct from our factory.

Typical high street ottoman
1 year

Twelve months, often with exclusions buried in the small print. Bought-in mechanisms with no spare parts once the supplier changes range.

Six years in. Still as solid as the day it arrived. Bought another for the spare room.

I expected the mechanism to be the issue. It isn't. It lifts effortlessly, even with a heavy natural mattress.

The Makers

Built by people who have been making beds since 1968.

My family has been manufacturing upholstered beds for three generations. We pioneered upholstered bed frames in the UK through B2B manufacturing, building for retailers and brands you already know. The Sleep Co is my direct-to-consumer brand. Same factory. Same engineering. No retail markup.

Every ottoman bed we ship is built to the same engineering brief we originally produced for Britain's most demanding retailers. The only difference now is that you can buy it from the maker.

Made to order in our British factory in four to six weeks. White-glove two-person delivery, assembly in your bedroom, packaging removed. Some stocked items dispatch within the week.

What mattress weight does the ottoman support?

SATRA tested to 250kg load rating. Comfortably supports natural mattresses up to 60kg. The mechanism lifts a fifty kilo mattress with one hand, smoothly, repeatedly, for the full fifteen years of the guarantee.

What does the fifteen-year guarantee actually cover?

Structural defects in the frame, joints, mechanism and base. Written in plain English with no sleep-through exclusions. We replace or repair, your choice. The guarantee is transferable if you move house.

Yes. Bespoke dimensions, your own fabric (COM) and headboard variations are all available. Lead time is six weeks for bespoke orders. No minimum order quantity, no surcharge for COM fabric on most ranges.

Are the gas struts replaceable?

Yes. German-engineered, standard fitting, replaceable for life. We hold spares in stock and replacement is a five-minute job. No proprietary parts that lock you in.
