Leo’s Side Opening Upholstered Storage Bed – Left or Right Opening

Leo’s Side Opening Upholstered Storage Bed – Left or Right Opening

Beautifully Designed. Cleverly Stored. Perfectly Personalised.

Looking for a stylish single bed that offers generous storage without taking up unnecessary space?

Discover the Leo’s Side Opening Upholstered Storage Bed, a practical and elegant solution for bedrooms where space, accessibility and comfort are equally important.

Featuring a convenient side-lifting mattress platform, a spacious concealed storage compartment and a choice of beautiful upholstery finishes, this bed combines everyday functionality with contemporary design.

Unlike traditional end-opening storage beds, this model opens from the side, making it particularly suitable for single bedrooms, guest rooms, children’s bedrooms and holiday apartments.

Better still, you can choose either left-hand or right-hand opening, allowing you to select the arrangement that works best with your bedroom layout.

Designed to complement our upholstered bed collection, this storage bed can also be personalised with a matching headboard to create a beautifully coordinated bedroom.

Smart Storage That Works Around Your Bedroom

The Benefits of Side Opening Storage

Not every bedroom is designed around a traditional bed layout.

Sometimes the foot of the bed faces a wardrobe, a narrow walkway or another piece of furniture. In other rooms, the bed is positioned against a wall to maximise the available floor space.

That’s where a side-opening storage bed offers a clever alternative.

Instead of lifting from the foot, the mattress platform raises from one side, providing convenient access to the generous storage compartment beneath.

The lift-assisted mechanism helps you raise the mattress platform, revealing a practical storage space for everyday bedroom essentials.

Perfect for storing:

• Spare pillows and bed linen
• Duvets and seasonal bedding
• Blankets and throws
• Towels and household textiles
• Seasonal clothing and other bedroom essentials

Everything can be stored neatly out of sight, helping you maintain a tidy, uncluttered bedroom.

Choose Left or Right Opening – Designed Around Your Space

Your bedroom. Your layout. Your choice.

One of the most useful features of our Side Opening Upholstered Storage Bed is the ability to choose the direction in which it opens.

Available with either left-hand or right-hand opening, the bed can be configured to suit the position of your walls, wardrobes, doors and surrounding furniture.

This is especially useful when planning a bedroom with limited floor space.

For example, if your bed is positioned alongside a wall, you can select the opening direction that allows convenient access from the exposed side.

The result is a more practical storage solution that works with your room rather than forcing you to rearrange your furniture around the bed.

Our team at Leo’s in Altea can help you choose the most suitable opening direction for your bedroom.

Beautiful Upholstery – Make Your Bed Your Own

A practical storage bed should also look beautiful.

Our upholstered storage beds are designed to offer a wide choice of colours, fabrics and textures, allowing you to personalise the appearance of your bedroom.

Whether you prefer understated neutrals or a more distinctive contemporary colour, you can create a bed that complements your existing furniture and interior décor.

Explore upholstery options including:

• Soft beige and natural linen-inspired finishes
• Elegant grey and anthracite tones
• Contemporary navy and blue shades
• Fresh aquamarine and green
• Other fabric and colour options from our upholstered collection

From relaxed Mediterranean interiors to modern apartments and elegant guest bedrooms, the possibilities allow you to create a coordinated look that feels personal to your home.

Complete the Look with a Matching Upholstered Headboard

Two Beautiful Ways to Style Your Bed

Why settle for a practical storage base when you can create a complete bedroom feature?

Our Side Opening Upholstered Storage Bed can be combined with a coordinating upholstered headboard, allowing you to personalise both the appearance and arrangement of your bed.

Option 1 – Traditional Headboard at the Head of the Bed

For a classic bedroom arrangement, choose a matching upholstered headboard positioned at the head of the mattress.

This creates an elegant, familiar bed design, ideal for main bedrooms, guest rooms and children’s bedrooms.

Select your preferred headboard style and upholstery finish to create a beautifully coordinated combination.

Option 2 – Full-Length Headboard for a Daybed-Inspired Look

Looking for something a little different?

A matching upholstered headboard can also be positioned along the length of the bed, transforming its appearance into a stylish daybed or sofa-inspired arrangement.

Add decorative cushions and a soft throw to create a comfortable place for reading, relaxing or enjoying a quiet afternoon.

This configuration is particularly attractive in:

• Guest bedrooms that also serve as sitting rooms
• Children’s and teenagers’ bedrooms
• Home offices with occasional sleeping accommodation
• Holiday apartments and second homes
• Smaller rooms where furniture needs to serve more than one purpose

The bed retains its practical concealed storage while offering the appearance of a beautifully upholstered daybed.

A coordinated finish: The storage base and headboard can be upholstered in the same chosen fabric and colour, creating a harmonious, unified appearance.

Headboards are optional coordinating products. Ask us about compatible designs and configurations.

Ideal for Single Bedrooms, Guest Rooms and Holiday Homes

Space is often one of the most important considerations when furnishing a bedroom.

Our Side Opening Upholstered Storage Bed offers a particularly practical solution for homes where every square metre matters.

Children’s and Teenagers’ Bedrooms

Create a comfortable sleeping space while keeping spare bedding, blankets and seasonal items neatly stored away.

The choice of upholstery colours also makes it easy to create a bedroom that reflects individual tastes.

Guest Bedrooms

A guest bedroom doesn’t need to feel like an afterthought.

Combine a stylish upholstered bed with a coordinating headboard and concealed storage to create a welcoming room that’s both attractive and practical.

Holiday Homes on the Costa Blanca

For owners of holiday apartments and second homes in Altea, Albir, Benidorm, Calpe and surrounding areas, practical furniture can make a real difference.

Extra storage is particularly useful for keeping spare bedding, towels and seasonal textiles organised between visits or guest stays.

A side-opening storage bed offers a convenient way to maximise bedroom storage without adding extra wardrobes or bulky furniture.

Compact Bedrooms and Apartments

In narrower rooms, a side-opening bed may offer easier access than a traditional end-opening design.

Choosing the opening direction and headboard arrangement allows you to plan the room around its available space.

Side Opening or End Opening – Which Storage Bed Is Right for You?

At Leo’s Home & Living, we understand that every bedroom is different.

Both side-opening and end-opening upholstered storage beds offer valuable concealed storage, but the best choice depends on your room layout.

Choose a side-opening storage bed when:

• You have convenient access along one side of the mattress.
• The foot of the bed is close to other furniture.
• You want to position a single bed against a wall.
• Your bedroom layout makes side access more practical.

Consider an end-opening storage bed when:

• You have good access from the foot of the bed.
• Your bed is positioned centrally with furniture on both sides.
• A traditional foot-lifting arrangement better suits your bedroom.

You can also explore our Round Edge Upholstered Storage Bed to compare another design from our upholstered storage bed collection.

Our team can help you understand the differences and choose the most practical solution.

Complete Your Bed with the Right Mattress

A beautiful bed deserves a comfortable mattress.

At Leo’s, we offer a wide selection of mattresses with different comfort levels, materials and support systems.

Whether you prefer a softer sleeping surface, medium-firm support or a firmer feel, our experienced team can help you find a suitable mattress for your needs and your chosen storage bed.

Explore our mattress collection or visit our showroom to discuss the available options.

When choosing a mattress for a lift-up storage bed, it’s important to consider compatibility with the lifting mechanism, including mattress weight and dimensions.

Part of our upholstered bed collection, this model brings together Spanish manufacturing, practical storage design and a wide choice of coordinated upholstery finishes.
