If you love a touch of elegance mixed with practicality, a sleigh bed with storage might be your dream furniture piece.

Perfect for modern homes across the UK, from compact flats to family bedrooms, these beds combine timeless design with clever, space-saving features.

In a world where every inch of storage counts, sleigh beds with drawers or ottoman lift mechanisms have become the ultimate space-saving heroes. But before you invest, let’s explore exactly why sleigh beds with storage are worth every penny.

 

What Is a Sleigh Bed?

A sleigh bed is a beautifully curved bed frame inspired by the shape of a sleigh, featuring a rolled headboard and footboard that add character and sophistication to any bedroom.

At The Bed Village Yorkshire, we offer a stunning collection of sleigh beds from the grand, traditional Oxford Divan Bed with Footboard to the modern and functional Sandringham Ottoman Divan Bed. Each piece combines craftsmanship, comfort, and storage practicality.

If you’ve ever wondered “what’s the point of a sleigh bed?”, here’s the answer: it’s not just a bed, it’s a statement piece that adds both luxury and lasting value to your home.

 

5 Benefits of Sleigh Beds with Storage

1. Space-Saving Sleigh Bed Design

Modern homes demand more brilliant furniture, and space-saving sleigh beds fit the bill perfectly. With discreet drawers or a lift-up base, you can store spare bedding, clothing, or shoes right beneath your mattress. It’s like having an extra wardrobe hidden in your bed frame.

2. Sleigh Beds with Drawers Offer Everyday Convenience

A sleigh bed with drawers gives you quick, easy access to your essentials. Whether you need your winter duvet, spare pillows, or off-season clothes, everything stays neatly tucked away yet easily accessible. For smaller bedrooms, this means less clutter and more room to breathe.

3. Ottoman Sleigh Beds for Maximum Storage

If you’re after the ultimate storage capacity, ottoman sleigh beds are your best bet. With a gas-lift mechanism that raises the entire mattress, these beds reveal a large storage compartment underneath, perfect for bulkier items like blankets and luggage.

Ottoman sleigh beds are especially popular in UK cities where floor space is at a premium, such as in apartments in Leeds, Manchester, or London.

4. Customisable to Match Your Style

Our sleigh beds aren’t one-size-fits-all. You can choose between divan or ottoman storage, select fabric materials and colours, and even modify the headboard and footboard design.

Whether you want a soft velvet in grey or a crushed silver aesthetic, your sleigh bed can be made to match your bedroom perfectly.

5. Timeless Design That Never Goes Out of Style

A sleigh bed with storage isn’t a passing trend; it’s a timeless investment. The classic scroll silhouette adds elegance, while the integrated storage makes it modern and functional. You’re getting a luxury design with everyday practicality.

Are Sleigh Beds with Storage Comfortable?

Absolutely. Despite the built-in storage, sleigh beds remain extremely comfortable, especially when paired with a high-quality mattress. The sturdy bases of divan and ottoman sleigh beds provide excellent mattress support and durability.

And thanks to the curved headboard, you’ll enjoy cosy support whether you’re reading, relaxing, or settling down for a good night’s sleep.

FAQs: Sleigh Beds with Storage

Are sleigh beds still in style in the UK?

Yes, sleigh beds continue to be a top choice in 2025. They blend traditional craftsmanship with modern fabrics and functionality, making them perfect for both classic and contemporary UK homes.

Do sleigh beds with storage take up more space?

Not really. While sleigh beds have a more prominent design due to the rolled headboard and footboard, the under-bed storage actually helps save floor space by replacing the need for extra drawers or wardrobes.

What’s the difference between Ottoman and drawer sleigh beds?

• Drawer sleigh beds: Have built-in drawers that slide out from the sides or footboard.
• Ottoman sleigh beds: Feature a gas-lift mechanism that raises the mattress to access a larger hidden compartment.

Both are ideal for different room layouts. Ottomans work well when side access is limited.

Can I get sleigh beds with storage delivered to Yorkshire?

Yes! At The Bed Village Yorkshire, we deliver sleigh beds with storage across Yorkshire and the UK, including Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, Hull, and York. Delivery times vary depending on your chosen design, but our team ensures your bed arrives safely and on schedule.

Are sleigh beds suitable for smaller bedrooms?

Definitely, many of our space-saving sleigh beds are designed with compact dimensions to fit smaller rooms. Choosing an ottoman sleigh bed gives you extra storage without the need for bulky furniture.

How do I clean and maintain a sleigh bed with storage?

Regular dusting and gentle vacuuming of fabric surfaces help maintain your sleigh bed’s appearance. For ottoman and drawer mechanisms, ensure smooth operation by keeping rails and hinges clean and occasionally lubricated.

Can I customise my sleigh bed at The Bed Village Yorkshire?

Yes, you can. From fabric choice and colour to storage type and size, your sleigh bed can be tailored to your exact preferences. Contact our team to discuss your ideal design.
