Do you have an ottoman bed? Can you answer a few questions?

I really, really need a new bed and storage is our number one consideration. If you have an ottoman bed and love it, please recommend/link it.

Can you tell me whether yours sits flush to the floor. Does this result in stubbed toes? And if it doesn't sit on the floor, does the weight of the contents affect the base? DD has a divan and if you put in anything heavier than a small bag of feathers, the bases of the drawers collapse and I don't want the same issue.

Did you manage to find one in a colour other than grey?

How much can you fit in?

Was delivery okay? Did yours dismantle adequately?

Fabric or wooden?

Why are headboards so big these days?

I am so BORED with looking at beds. Half the reviews read as lies written by the manufacturer's mother or have a mixture of "best bed ever, saved my marriage" vs "cheap shite, ruined my life and killed my puppy" for the same fricking bed.

I tried a shop between lockdowns and the smarmy salesman couldn't tell me anything of use and kept calling me madam. I left him trapped in a divan base on an industrial estate in Norwich. Who knows if he's still there.

DD has one in her tiny bedroom,there is so much storage space! Hers is a nice dark blue velvet.

We are considering a deep ottoman for our room from here www.aristaliving.com
If you Google you can normally find a 50% discount code for them. I know someone who has a bed from there and is happy with it.
