Are Wingback Beds the Same as Ottoman Beds?

Introduction

Purchasing a new bed can be overwhelming, especially when you get lost in a jumble of words and fashion. There are two standard models, the wingback beds and ottoman beds, which are often confused. Yet are they both the same? Not quite.

This is one of the questions that we are asked a great deal at Furniture For You Ltd. Although both styles are modern, luxurious, and extremely utilitarian, they serve different purposes and bring diverse aesthetics to your bedroom. This blog will deconstruct the distinction, advantages and disadvantages, aesthetic entailments, capacities of storage, and the price range of wingback and ottoman beds. This guide will help you make the necessary decision whether you are revamping your main suite or remodeling your guest bedroom.

What Is a Wingback Bed?

A wingback bed is also a type of bed with a tall headboard where there are protruding wings at the sides. This design is based on the traditional wingback chairs to create a royal and closed style.

• The principal features of a wingback bed are:
• Sideless headboard, upholstered, tall, and thick headboard
• They may be padded to make them more comfortable
• Classic, over-the-top style
• Serves as an attention-getting design in the room
• These are offered in many different materials such as velvet, linen, or faux leather

The wingback style of the bed will make your room feel Art Deco-like, with its classy lines and old-world elegance. It is ideal for reading in bed or watching TV in bed, thanks to its very supportive backrest provided by the padding.

What Is an Ottoman Bed?

Smart storage is all that an ottoman bed involves. It has a lift-up bottom that exposes a large area under the mattress, perfect for storing beddings, clothes, footwear, or anything you'd rather keep out of sight.

Kinds of Ottoman Beds:

• End-lift ottoman bed (pushback foot of bed)
• Side-lift ottoman bed (the bed is open at the side)
• A half ottoman, a half drawer (lift and drawer-combination)
• It can be covered or combined with wooden finishes

Our inexpensive ottoman beds are all-time sellers at Furniture For You Ltd, offering a functional bed without compromising on style. You save space and avoid the whole furnace appearance of those drawers and separate enclosures.

So, Are They the Same?

No, a wingback bed and an ottoman bed are not the same.

The headboard design is referred to as the wingback, and the base is referred to as the ottoman.

Nevertheless, you can also mix the two. Our Ottoman divan bed collection features wingback headboards that offer both aesthetic appeal and functionality for consumers. A divan ottoman bed with a wingback design is a versatile option, offering storage space and a central focal point for decorating.

Key Differences at a Glance

Combining the Best of Both Worlds

Many customers now opt for a wingback ottoman bed, which merges the bold, elegant headboard with a storage base. This hybrid is ideal for:

• Apartments or homes with limited wardrobe space
• Bedrooms that need both style and utility
• Families looking for innovative storage solutions

Whether you choose a single ottoman bed for a guest room or a king-size divan ottoman bed with a wingback headboard for your main suite, Furniture For You Ltd offers plenty of combinations tailored to your needs.

Storage Showdown: Ottoman vs Divan Beds

Let's get into the specifics of the storage capacity.

Ottoman Beds:

• Storage spans the whole bed base
• Can lift completely
• Best for larger items like suitcases or blankets

Traditional Divan Beds (Without Ottoman Mechanism):

• Typically come with side drawers
• Limited capacity compared to Ottoman beds
• Better suited for small items like books or clothes

So, if your top priority is maximizing storage, the ottoman bed is hands-down the winner.

Price Comparison

Here's where things get even more interesting. Many believe wingback beds are more expensive due to their premium look. That's not always the case.
