Ambassador Bed Vs Ottoman Bed – Which is Better?

You’re probably here because you’re on the hunt for a luxurious new bed frame with additional storage at affordable pricing. Below, we will discuss the pros and cons of the Ambassador bed and ottoman bed to see how they compare against each other. There are some key differences and similarities to consider between the two before deciding which is the right style for you.

1. Bed Frame Sizing

The low height of the Ambassador provides a modern contemporary look. The lowered bed stead makes the room look more spacious whilst also making it practical for children and pets to hop in and out. The Ambassador really is a grandeur centrepiece fitting of any bedroom. It is much wider than a standard bed frame in the corresponding size, more suited to larger bedrooms where space is available in abundance.

On the contrary, ottoman beds are sleek and elegant, occupying no more space than is necessary to fit the mattress. This enables you to utilise the remaining space to add furniture and décor to achieve your dream look.

2. Storage Options

Storage in the home can come in all shapes and sizes. Bed frames featuring storage are becoming a popular choice amongst consumers because of the practicality and value they provide. Limited in space but uncompromising on aesthetic value? Ottomans are a great choice. The hydraulic gas lift mechanism enables the lift feature to operate effectively. They are taking the bed market by storm due to their ability to store anything from towels, linens, and duvets to using it as a wardrobe for clothes and shoes.

Conventional ottomans will arrive as two bases which seamlessly fit together to provide two compartments for storage. The base arrives complete with handles to ensure lifting of the bed is convenient. Ottoman styles are available as side or foot end opening, providing you with choice to choose the style most convenient for your bedroom layout and requirements. The engineering is virtually identical for both openings; the only difference being which side they open from.

It may come as a surprise, but the Ambassador bed frame is also available with a storage facility. As the Ambassador frame is quite wide, the storage facility can prove to be very handy to make use of the large space occupied by the Ambassador frame.

3. Fully Customisable
