About the TheraPur® Shallow Ottoman Base
Last checked
A side-opening upholstered divan is the whole proposition here, with the TheraPur Shallow Ottoman sold as a base rather than a complete bedstead. The styling range is the standout spec. More than 20 upholstery finishes - including animal print, bouclé-style textures, velveteen, twill and linen-blend options - plus tapered legs in beech, walnut, silver or gold makes this unusually configurable for a divan base; plain drawer divans usually keep the base visually quiet, while upholstered bedsteads tend to do more of the decorative work. The shallow ottoman format is a practical compromise: it opens up the space beneath the mattress from the side, but the name signals a lower-profile storage cavity than deeper lift-up ottoman bedsteads. Larger sizes arrive as two left-to-right halves, which is standard divan logic and helps with access through homes, while the single is one complete base. Headboard matching is kept within the TheraPur and Sleepeezee compatibility family, so the base suits a coordinated divan set-up rather than a metal or wooden bedstead look.
Where drawer storage only uses the sides of a divan, this base turns the central void into usable storage, and that is where the praise concentrates. Storage carries the clearest signal. Bedding, towels and spare household items are repeatedly described as fitting easily, and the side-lift action is often said to work smoothly with the mattress in place, which supports the spec’s emphasis on everyday access rather than occasional loft-style storage. The fabric finish and general look also land well, especially for rooms needing a softer, hotel-style upholstered base without the footprint of a full bed frame. Criticism centres on set-up and finish control rather than storage capacity: fittings packed inside the ottoman caused frustration for more than one buyer, and awkward bolts or inaccessible fixings made an expensive base feel less polished than expected. Lower-scoring feedback also raises uneven joins, alignment issues and a headboard that moved when leaned against, so the headboard compatibility claim is best read as matching hardware and style, not a promise of especially rigid back support. If the aim is tidy under-bed storage in a compact or downsized bedroom, this works; if the priority is heavier-duty construction, deeper storage and firmer headboard stability, a higher-spec full-depth ottoman divan makes more sense.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Owners praise the large storage space underneath for keeping bedding and other items.
- Recent buyers found the side-opening lift easy to operate even with a mattress on top.
- Customers appreciate the sturdy board bottom instead of the usual fabric base.
- Many described the overall quality as high, making it a worthwhile purchase.
Cons
- Several users reported difficulty with assembly due to internal nut fixings being misplaced.
- Some owners noted the base does not close properly without a mattress on top.
- Complaints about the headboard being unsteady and moving when leaned against surfaced frequently.
- A few reviewers had issues with the unevenness in the base where it opens for storage.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
Made locally in the UK - British craftsmanship at its finest
Expertly crafted locally, this specification ensures exceptional quality and supports local industry. Buying products made in the UK often results in superior durability and reduced environmental impact due to shorter transportation distances.
Solid platform top base - offers sturdy mattress support
Expect a firmer, steadier feel with fewer dips, which can help a mattress keep its shape and feel consistent. Airflow under the bed may be lower than with slats, so heat and moisture can build up more in warm rooms or with foam mattresses.
Soft velvet-touch finish - for a luxuriously smooth feel
A soft velvet-touch finish creates a luxuriously smooth and inviting surface that adds a touch of elegance to any room. The material's plush feel enhances comfort and provides a lavish aesthetic to the décor.

Versatile, well-made ottoman bed with ample storage space. Upholstery and leg style options provide a personal touch.
My first proper bed base purchase! I couldnt resist as I love the leopard print- only went for the base as I had a headboard that I thought would work nicely for my style! Theres plenty space in the ottoman and the guys delivering and assembling the bed were lovely. The only thing I would mention is it is very high, it feels like Im in a hotel bed, which isnt a bad thing just will take a while to get used to. The quality is great, as well as the print and the fabric. Money well spent!
Fantastic bed frame that is very practical. Would deffo recommend them building it for you, they did it so quickly and all we had to do was add the bed sheets.
Excellent bed, too high for me but perfect now I have taken the legs off.
Great bed, solidly put together with plenty of storage, colour is amazing as well

Ottoman bed - perfect, just what I wanted for the spare room - stylish but with storage.
So comfy, great quality. Best buy for my new life. Excellent qualirty of goods.
good storage bed fits a lot of items and easy to lift even with mattress on top.
Perfect bed for our requirements with a side fitting ottoman very easy to use even with matress in place.
Gives me loads of storage, just what i needed. Very easy to lift regardless of its size.
We needed a firm base with storage, but with easy access to keep dust-free underneath, my wife has asthma and is very sensitive to dust. This base filled all our needs, the ottoman-style lift-up storage is practical, has lots of space for spare quilts, pillows, etc., and there's enough space underneath the bed to pass the vacuum cleaner. The whole bed, base+mattress, is quite tall but that's not a problem for us.
Lots of storage and very well made. Dark green colour is lovely. Bought together with Hemlock Headboard. Service and delivery excellent.
Shopping for a bed (something I hadn't done in over 20 years) was made incredibly easy, by all the helpful staff in the shop. All my questions were answered in an understandable manner, making the whole shopping experience very enjoyable. Rob, the manager, was very understanding when I had to delay delivery of the bed, again, making life much easier for me. My bed was finally delivered by two brilliant guys, Ken and Mark, for whom nothing was too much trouble. The whole experience from start to finish was very enjoyable. Thank you
Great bed, excellent quality with good advice provided in the store to ensure we selected the correct mattress. Stylish bed frame and wonderful amount of storage which is easily accessible.
Great service everything was explained to details, delivered on time, very happy with the all services and product, easy light Ottoman when lifting very happy
Lovely solid bed with ottoman. Easy to use and lift. Lovely material and colour
Excellent storage and easy to access the boxes. Total bed area is used up for storage which is good for bulky goods.
