Collection: Ottomans & Storage Benches

An ottoman is the quiet multitasker of a room — a footrest, extra seating, a soft surface for a tray, and often a hidden box for storage all in one. In the bedroom it works as an end-of-bed bench; in the lounge it's a footstool or a coffee-table stand-in. Decide which jobs you need it to do, then pick the size and whether it opens for storage.

Do I want storage inside?

A storage ottoman lifts or flips open to reveal a box underneath — ideal for spare blankets, throws, kids' toys or off-season clothes, tucked out of sight but easy to reach. A solid (non-storage) ottoman is simpler and often sturdier for sitting or resting your feet. If clutter's the problem, go storage; if it's purely seating or a footrest, solid is fine.

Where will it sit?

At the end of the bed, choose a bench roughly the width of the mattress so it looks balanced and holds the throw you kick off at night. In the lounge, a round or square ottoman near the sofa doubles as a footrest and casual seat. In an entry, a storage bench gives you somewhere to sit and pull shoes on, with the shoes stored inside.

What covering lasts?

Fabric and linen-look covers are soft and warm but want a quick vacuum now and then; a removable cover makes that easier. Faux leather wipes clean in seconds, which suits a busy household or an entry bench. Velvet looks rich in a bedroom but keep it out of high-traffic, grubby-hands spots. Match the covering to where it lives.

What we'd tell a friend

A storage ottoman at the foot of the bed is the easiest win in a cluttered bedroom — it swallows the spare doona and the throw pillows you take off each night. Just check the lid is hinged or removable in a way that won't trap little fingers if kids are about.

Common questions

Can you sit on a storage ottoman?
Yes — most are built to take a seated adult. Check the listed weight rating if it'll be used as regular seating rather than just a footrest.

What size end-of-bed bench do I need?
Roughly the width of your mattress looks balanced — a bench around queen width suits a queen bed, and so on.

Do ottomans arrive assembled?
Many arrive ready to use or need only the legs attached; the listing says which.

Can I pay with Afterpay?
Yes — Afterpay, Zip, Klarna or PayPal Pay in 4. A $89 ottoman works out to four fortnightly payments of about $22.25.
