Ottoman bed with no legs and no base in the storage area

I'm thinking of buying my DC an ottoman bed. Looking them up online I've seen loads that don't have any legs or a bottom base in the storage area The stuff you store goes directly on the floor - or on a sheet type-thing that they provide for you. Therefore the base of the bed is the four walls of the storage area plus the bit you put the mattress on which you can pull up. To have no legs would suit me down to the ground as there would be no area under the bed for dust to collect. The bed is going to wedged into a corner and I'll barely be able to move it after it's been put in place - and definitely won't if the bed storage area is filled up. Just wondering if people have had this sort of bed and been happy with it - it just seems like a bit of strange design (albeit useful for me).

We have one for our spare bed and one for ourselves. I think DC would not be able to lift it - they have pneumatic sort of things either side to make lifting easier, but it still isn't "easy" per se.
Obvs. DC not being able to lift it might be a plus point, depending on what you want to put under there.
They are great for storage, and for keeping the room tidy.
The only downside is our one has wooden corners that stick out slightly and I am forever banging my shin as I go round the end of the bed, so my legs always look bruised which is annoying.
