Footstools and Ottoman Boxes

Add a considered finishing touch with footstools and ottoman storage boxes from Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham, serving Gloucestershire with UK-wide delivery.

These upholstered pieces bring extra texture and colour to a bedroom or living room, with storage available on selected designs. Choose a compact footstool to accompany an armchair, or explore a longer ottoman box for the end of the bed, keeping the room's proportions and everyday use in mind.

Compare the available sizes, upholstery options and internal storage measurements to find the right fit. A coordinating fabric can tie your furniture together, while a contrasting shade adds a more individual touch. Our Cheltenham team can help you check fabric availability and product features, including whether your chosen design is intended for seating, so the piece works as well in practice as it does in your room scheme.

Ottoman boxes for the end of your bed

An upholstered box at the foot of the bed can complete the room and provide useful storage where included. Leave enough walking space around it and check that the lid can open without obstruction.

In a bedroom with an ottoman bed, a footstool covers the daily things you do not want to lift the base for.

Matching or contrasting

Order it in the same fabric as the bed and the room reads as designed. Order it in a deliberate contrast and it becomes the one point of colour in a neutral room.

Compare fabric samples together in your room's light. Closely related shades can create a layered look, while a stronger contrast makes the footstool more of a feature.

In the living room

A footstool can bring a softer finish beside a sofa or armchair. Check its intended use, stability and care guidance rather than assuming every upholstered piece can double as a table or an extra seat.

FAQ

Questions we get asked most

Open seven days.01452 260206
Can I get it in the same fabric as my bed?

Ask which upholstery options are shared by your chosen bed and footstool or ottoman box. Comparing samples together helps you decide between a coordinated finish and a deliberate contrast. Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham can check availability when you order; the same colour name does not guarantee an exact match across different production batches.

How much storage does an ottoman box provide?

Compare the internal width, depth and height with the items you plan to store, such as folded throws or spare bedding. Outer dimensions include upholstery and construction, so they are not the usable capacity. Check the storage load limit and lid-opening space, and remember that some footstools have no storage compartment.

Is it strong enough to sit on?

Only a design specifically intended for seating should be used as a seat. A padded lid or substantial appearance does not establish its load capacity. Check the manufacturer's permitted use and weight limit before ordering, and use a footrest-only model for its stated purpose rather than as a stool to stand or sit on.

How do I choose the right footstool or ottoman-box size?

Choose the proportions around the furniture it will accompany. Beside an armchair, compare the footstool height with the seat; at the end of a bed, leave a comfortable walking route and room to open any lid. Check the exact measurements of the selected design instead of choosing by bed size alone.
