Storage ottomans and benches for hidden storage and extra seating
Valuhub's storage ottomans and benches collection brings together end of bed benches, flip top ottomans and storage chests.

Valuhub Canada serves shoppers who need a spot for blankets, shoes and spare bedding. Use these pieces at the foot of a bed, in a hallway or beside a sofa. Browse entryway benches for hallway pieces, or bedroom furniture to match.
Storage ottomans at a glance
Types of storage benches and ottomans in this range
End of bed benches
End of bed benches sit at the foot of a bed and are the largest group here. Lengths run from about 36 in (91 cm) to 63 in (160 cm). The longest suit queen or king beds. Many have button tufted padding or rolled arms, and some open for storage. Match them with bedroom furniture.
Flip top ottoman benches
Flip top ottoman benches hide blankets, pillows or toys under a hinged lid. Many list safety hinges so the lid does not slam shut. Steel legs or wood legs lift the base off the floor, and a padded seat adds extra seating. See entryway benches for hallway styles.
Storage chests and trunks
A storage trunk or chest suits bedding, games and seasonal items. Sizes include 31.5 in (80 cm) and 39.4 in (100 cm). They have two safety hinges and a black or white wood grain finish. A chest also works as a bench seat.
Shoe benches
Shoe benches pair a padded seat with hidden space for shoes. One style lists room for four pairs, and others add a flip top and cushion. They suit hallways and mudrooms. See shoe storage for racks and cabinets.
Ottomans, pouffes and stools
Smaller ottomans fill gaps beside a sofa and double as a footrest. The range has foldable cube ottomans and a round fabric ottoman with a tray. It also lists sets of two and a 16 in (41 cm) pouffe. A vanity stool and piano benches are also here. See our dressing and vanity tables too.

How do you choose a storage ottoman?
Measure the space
Measure the wall or bed width first. For queen or king beds, look at benches from 59 in (150 cm) to 63 in (160 cm). Leave about 60 cm (24 in) of walking room around the piece.
Check the inside space
One bench lists 42 x 17 x 19 in (107 x 43 x 48 cm). That holds folded blankets and spare pillows. Padding and support bars reduce the usable space, so compare the inside size on each product page.
Compare the load rating
Seating needs a sturdy frame. One bench lists a 485 lb (220 kg) load. Check the rating on each product page before you use a piece as a seat for two.
Pick the fabric for the room
Linen-look and velvet feel soft in a bedroom. Corduroy adds texture. PU leather wipes clean, which suits hallways and busy homes. An upholstered storage bench in a light colour shows marks more.
Look at the lid and hinges
A flip top or lift-up lid gives easy access. Safety hinges are designed to keep the lid from slamming shut. Test that the lid stays open before you load it with items.
Where do storage ottomans and benches work best?
Bedrooms are the top spot for a bench with storage. A bedroom bench at the foot of the bed gives you a seat for putting on shoes. It also hides spare bedding, extra pillows and off-season clothes.
Living rooms use an ottoman with storage as a footrest and an extra seat. It also holds remotes, blankets and games. A bench in front of a sofa works as a low seat. Pair the piece with accent chairs for a matching look.
Entryways and hallways need seats where people sit to put on boots. A shoe bench or a PU leather bench wipes clean and holds shoes, scarves and mitts. Choose a narrow style if the hall is tight.
How do you care for upholstered storage furniture?
Vacuum fabric with a soft brush attachment and blot spills right away. Wipe PU leather with a damp cloth. Do not overload the box, and keep the lid clear of heavy items. Check that every leg sits level on the floor so the frame stays stable.

Ottoman and bench FAQs
What is a storage ottoman used for?
It works as a footrest, an extra seat and hidden storage in one piece. The space under the lid holds blankets, pillows, toys or seasonal items. Many sit in living rooms, bedrooms and hallways.
How long should an end of bed bench be?
Pick a bench a little shorter than the width of the bed. This range lists benches from about 36 in (91 cm) to 63 in (160 cm). A 59 in (150 cm) style is made for king beds. A 63 in (160 cm) style suits queen or king beds.
Can you sit on a storage bench?
Yes, if the product lists a load rating. One bench in this range lists a 485 lb (220 kg) load. Check the rating on each product page, and sit near the middle of the seat for the best support.
How do I stop a lid from slamming shut?
Look for safety hinges, which are designed to keep the lid from slamming shut. Many benches and chests in this range list them, and one bench has a soft close lid. Keep fingers clear when you open or close any lid.
What fabric is best for a bedroom bench?
Linen-look, velvet and corduroy give a soft feel in a bedroom. PU leather wipes clean and suits hallways. Choose the fabric that matches your bedding and how often you plan to sit on the bench.
