The Wingback Divan Ottoman Bed combines the storage capacity of an ottoman with the practicality of a divan base, topped with a floor standing wingback headboard.Storage is the main reason people buy it. The base opens from the foot end, lifting the whole mattress platform to reveal the space underneath, so you get a single large compartment rather than the fixed sections of a drawer divan. Suitcases, spare duvets, seasonal clothing and bulky items all go in without having to fit a drawer opening. The base is solid, so items are properly enclosed rather than sitting on the carpet.The other advantage is assembly. Ottoman bed frames arrive as a kit and take real time to build. An ottoman divan base needs very little assembly, which matters if you are furnishing several rooms, working to a changeover deadline or simply do not want to spend an afternoon with an allen key.The wingback headboard is floor standing at 48 inches, so it sits behind the bed rather than fixing to it. The winged sides frame the bed and give the room a defined focal point, which is why this style has stayed popular in both homes and boutique accommodation.Mattresses are optional and configurable. Choose no mattress if you already have one, or add the Astral, Apollo Semi Orthopaedic or Orthopaedic mattress to suit the firmness you want.A wide range of fabrics and colours is available so the base and headboard can be matched to the room. Ox Beds manufactures at its Dewsbury site just outside Leeds, with decades of experience in the bedding industry, and free fabric samples can be requested before you order.
