Ottoman Base
Our John Ryan Ottoman bases are perfect for those who need the most storage space from their mattress base. With a front lift construction method, supported by high-quality gas struts, it enables you to lift the entire mattress up and utilise the significant storage space beneath it.
The depth of the ottoman storage is 25cm or 10″. The height if the base is 40cm including castors.
We make ottoman bases in single, double, king and superking sizes. We, unfortunately, don’t offer these in any bespoke sizes at present.
Platform Top
Our Ottoman bases are platform top bases. This means they don’t contain springs and are a solid base for the mattress above it.
With some models, such as the Artisan Range, this may firm up the feel of the mattress slightly.
If you need more assistance please call our team on 0161 437 4419 to discuss the feel of the mattress if paired with this base.
Gas struts and lift mechanism
Our Ottoman bases feature heavy duty 800 newton gas struts to enable the mattress and top of the base to be lifted up easily.
Given the weight of our handmade mattresses heavy duty struts are essential to ensure ease of operation and the longevity of the Ottoman base.
These gas struts are fixed with strong welded brackets.
We always advise care to be taken when lifting a mattress or Ottoman.
Base Storage
This platform top Ottoman comes with large amounts of storage given you can utilise the entire space beneath the mattress. There is 25cm of depth to the base when the mattress is lifted.
Double sizes and above will arrive as two separate base components that are joined by strong metal clips. This ensures the base is completely robust, other cheaper mass produced Ottomans come as a one-piece in larger sizes.
This means that larger bases can be delivered even if restricted access rooms.

FAQs
At John Ryan By Design, we pride ourselves on offering not only amazing mattresses, but also straight-talking, quality information about the world of mattresses. You might say that we’re obsessed with mattresses, and because of that our in-house team of experts are always on hand to answer your questions, and provide you with a wide range of advice and guidance.
However, when you’ve been doing this for as long as we have, you tend to notice that some questions get asked very regularly. We’ve therefore listened to what you need to know, and have put together a growing series of FAQs to help you to quickly find the answers you need!
No, and no showroom or retailer sells our products. This is part of the reason why our prices can be so competitive: our internet-based company model allows us to avoid passing the excessive costs of other retailers on to our customers. Most staff within showrooms are also not bed experts (unlike our own in-house team). Sadly, such staff probably wouldn’t understand mattress manufacture to the extent that they could reliably answer your questions. To give you confidence in our way of doing things, our 60-day “love it or return it” guarantee offers the ability to return a mattress that doesn’t suit you for a full refund, or you can perform a one-time exchange and swap to an alternative model. You can visit our guarantee page for more information, or our article about buying a mattress online to see just why our approach actually benefits you!
From the time you place your order, there is a 4 week average lead time until delivery for most of our mattress models. This is because all of our mattresses, bases and headboards are handmade to order especially for you! You can visit our delivery page for more information.
No. At present, we don’t ship or deliver worldwide. However, we can deliver your purchase to any UK port that you choose, allowing you to arrange onward delivery from there. If you take advantage of this, please do note that exercising our 60-day “love it or return it” guarantee would require you to return your purchase to us at your own cost.
