Francisca Strip Ottoman Bed — The Centrepiece Your UK Bedroom Deserves

Starting from just £339, the Francisca Strip Ottoman Bed is one of the most customisable, storage-smart, and visually striking strip ottoman beds available in the UK today. Whether you’re redesigning a master bedroom in a detached house or transforming a smaller flat into a sanctuary, the Francisca delivers boutique-level style at a price your wallet won’t argue with.

 

What Makes a Strip Bed Different?

A strip bed features clean, structured horizontal panel lines across the headboard and frame — creating a bold, architectural look that works equally well in modern, contemporary, and glamorous bedroom settings. Unlike plain panel beds or buttoned designs, the strip detailing adds visual depth and texture without overwhelming the room. The Francisca takes this signature design further by pairing it with a substantial, chunky headboard silhouette — the kind of look you’d expect from high-end bedroom showrooms in London, Manchester, or Leeds.

 

Triple Base Options — You Choose How You Store

Most competitors give you one base, and that’s it. Francisca gives you three:

Gas Lift Storage — Lift the mattress from the side with smooth gas-assisted arms, accessing a deep, full-width storage cavity underneath. Perfect for duvets, seasonal clothing, and bulky bedroom items.

Divan Ottoman End-Lift (+£100) — The mattress lifts from the foot end, ideal for rooms where side access is tight. A popular choice in smaller UK bedrooms where every centimetre matters.

Standard Slatted Base — For those who simply want the style without storage. The sprung slatted base supports your mattress and promotes airflow for a cooler, healthier sleep environment.

No other strip bed in this price range lets you tailor the base this precisely.

 

60+ Fabric & Colour Combinations — Nothing Else Comes Close

This is where Francisca leaves every competitor standing. Choose from nine premium fabric categories:

Crushed Velvet — Available in Black, Blue, Champagne, Gold, Grey, Lilac, Pink, Red, Silver, and Cream. Luxurious sheen, incredibly tactile.

Plush Velvet — Softer, more matte finish. Options include Teal, Mustard Gold, Sky Blue, Steel, Pebble, and more.

Boucle Teddy Fabric — The cosy, textured fabric that’s taken interior design by storm. Available in Cream and Stone.

Linen Fabric — Twelve sophisticated neutrals, including Sage, Copper, Graphite, Midnight, and Teal — ideal for Scandi or minimalist bedroom aesthetics.

Chenille — Five rich tones: Black, Charcoal, Cream, Mink, Silver.

Coniston Fabric — Eight options, including Blue, Gold, Green, Pink, and Charcoal.

Naples Fabric — Nine shades from Sand and Cream to Slate and Purple.

Faux Leather — Five classic tones: Black, Blue, Brown, Pink, White.

Arizona Fabric — Black, Chocolate, and Grey for a sleek, understated look.

With over 60 colour combinations, you’re not buying off a shelf — you’re building the exact bed your bedroom needs.

 

Headboard Height Customisation

One detail most UK bed retailers skip entirely: headboard height options. The Francisca lets you extend the headboard by +10cm, +20cm, +30cm, or +40cm — meaning you can create a dramatically tall, statement headboard or keep it proportionally compact depending on your ceiling height and room layout. This level of personalisation is rare at this price point.
