Professional ottoman lid support fitting - gas struts or soft-close hinges installed to prevent heavy lids slamming. Keep little fingers safe from crushing injuries.
### Stop the Slam
Ottoman lids are heavy. **Kids reaching in for toys don't think about the lid - they just let go.** That heavy slam can crush fingers, causing real injuries.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Any storage with a heavy lid that children access should have soft-close support. Toy boxes, blanket boxes, ottomans - all potential hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ottoman lid support in Teignmouth
Why do ottoman lids need support?
Heavy ottoman lids slam down hard. Children reach in to grab something, the lid falls, fingers get trapped. A lid support slows the closing action and prevents injuries.
Will it work on my ottoman?
Most ottomans can have supports fitted - storage ottomans, blanket boxes, toy boxes. We assess your specific furniture and fit the appropriate support mechanism.
What type of support do you fit?
We use gas struts or soft-close hinges depending on the lid weight and ottoman construction. Both provide controlled, gentle closing.
Does this work on toy boxes too?
Absolutely - toy boxes, blanket boxes, anything with a heavy lid that children access. Same safety concern, same solution.
