### Brilliant Storage, Tricky Assembly
Ottoman beds are brilliant - **the entire mattress lifts to reveal full-bed-sized storage**. Perfect for bedding, cushions, clothes. But they're substantially more complex than regular beds.
> ⚠️ **Gas lift critical.** Powerful pistons lift heavy mattresses. Wrong installation means the bed doesn't lift properly, or drops unexpectedly. This needs getting right.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ottoman bed assembly in Teignmouth
What makes ottoman beds harder than regular beds?
The gas lift mechanism. Powerful pistons that lift heavy mattresses need installing correctly or the bed doesn't lift properly, or worse, drops unexpectedly.
Is it safe to DIY?
Only if you install the gas lifts correctly. Incorrectly installed pistons can fail, dropping a heavy mattress suddenly. If you're not confident, it's worth getting done professionally.
Will my mattress fit?
Ottoman beds fit standard UK sizes. Very thick or heavy mattresses may affect the lift mechanism. I'll check compatibility when setting up.
How much weight can I store?
Varies by model - bedding, cushions, clothes are fine. Distribute weight evenly. Overloading makes lifting harder and wears the mechanism.
