The Panelled Ottoman Storage Bed Built to Turn Heads, Not Just Hide Clutter
Make a statement without sacrificing an inch of storage, the Austen Premium Panelled Ottoman Storage Bed with Accent Piping is the bed that does both.
Most storage beds hide their function behind plain, forgettable frames. The Austen is different. Its tall panelled headboard and matching panelled footboard are outlined in bold contrast accent piping, a tailored detail borrowed from luxury upholstery that gives this bed a sharp, hotel-suite edge. If you want a panelled ottoman storage bed that actually looks the part, this is it.
Why does the Austen work harder than other storage beds?
The gas-lift ottoman base opens fully from the foot of the bed, giving you deep, unobstructed access to the full under-bed storage cavity. No bed legs blocking the corners, no split-lift compromise, just one smooth lift and a clean, cavernous space underneath. It’s the ideal solution for duvets, spare bedding, seasonal clothing, or anything else eating up your wardrobe space.
The accent piping isn’t just decorative; it structurally reinforces the panel seams, keeping the headboard crisp and upright for years. Combined with a robust hardwood-effect frame built and finished in our Dewsbury workshop, the Austen is made to last, not just to look good on day one.

Who is the Austen for?
The Austen suits anyone who wants a bed that reads as a genuine focal point rather than just functional furniture. It’s a strong fit for master bedrooms where you want contrast and structure without going full Chesterfield, for anyone with a storage problem and limited wardrobe space, and for buyers who’ve looked at plain divan ottomans and found them too plain. If you’ve been searching for a panelled upholstered ottoman bed with real design detail, the Austen closes that gap.
Handcrafted in Yorkshire. 3-year warranty included.
Every Austen bed is made in our own Dewsbury workshop, not imported and relabelled. That means tighter quality control, better finish consistency, and a manufacturing team you can actually contact. All orders come with a full 3-year warranty covering frame structure and materials, plus our 30-night risk-free trial. If it’s not right, you get a full refund and free collection, no awkward conversations.
How does Austen compare
Plain ottoman beds provide storage. The Austen gives you the storage and a bed worth looking at. The contrast piping and full-panel design put it in the same aesthetic bracket as beds from Feather & Black or Time4Sleep at a significantly lower price point, and ours is made to order in West Yorkshire, not shipped from a generic overseas warehouse.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Does the Ottoman storage open easily?
Yes. The gas-lift mechanism is spring-assisted, so the base rises smoothly with minimal effort. It holds open without you needing to prop it, making access safe and practical.
Can I choose the fabric colour and headboard height?
Yes to both. The Austen is available in multiple fabric options, including Plush Velvet, Teddy Boucle, and Naples, and offers nine headboard heights from 50″ to 90″. Select your preferences at the point of order.
Is the Ottoman storage included in the base price?
The Ottoman gas-lift storage base is available as an optional upgrade. The standard frame is included; the storage mechanism is a selectable add-on at checkout.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is 3–5 working days across the UK. We use our own courier vans to ensure safe handling, no third-party couriers throwing boxes around.
Will it fit a standard UK mattress?
Yes. The Austen frame is sized to standard UK dimensions across all four size options (Single, Double, King, Super King) and is compatible with all mattress types.
