Description
The Phoenix Multi-Lift Ottoman Bed puts a tall, deep-buttoned headboard on top of a full-size storage base. The headboard is the reason to choose it: a square, generously padded panel with rows of diamond tufting that gives a plain bedroom a focal point without anything fussy or ornate. Underneath, the whole footprint of the bed becomes storage, and the multi-lift base means you can open it from the side as well as the foot. It comes in a double or king, in Asteria Grey or Asteria Stone textured weave.
A headboard that does the decorating
In most bedrooms the headboard is the first thing you see from the door, so it carries the room. The Phoenix headboard stands well above pillow height and is buttoned across its whole face in a classic diamond pattern, which reads as tailored rather than glitzy. Because the fabric is a soft, mid-tone weave rather than velvet, it sits happily in a modern room with plain walls as well as a more traditional scheme with patterned bedding and timber bedside tables. It is also comfortable to lean against when you read in bed: the padding is deep enough to sit up against, not just decorative.
Storage you can reach from the side
A conventional ottoman opens only from the foot end. That is fine if there is clear floor at the foot of the bed, and awkward if the bed sits in an alcove, under a window or with its end close to a wardrobe. The Phoenix base is multi-lift, so it can be set up to open from the side instead. That lets you put the bed where the room works best and still reach everything underneath. Gas struts take the weight of the mattress, so lifting it is a one-handed job with a normal mattress on top.
What goes in there? Spare duvets and pillows, suitcases, winter coats and out-of-season clothes: the bulky things that otherwise fill a wardrobe floor or the loft. Because there are no drawer boxes, none of the space under the bed is lost to runners and drawer sides, and you do not need clear floor beside the bed to pull anything out.
Fabric and colour
Asteria Grey is a cool, light grey that suits white, charcoal and blue bedding. Asteria Stone is a warmer oatmeal neutral that works with cream, terracotta and natural wood. Both are the same textured weave, which hides everyday marks better than a flat or very pale fabric and is less likely to show pet hair than velvet. The fabric close-ups in the gallery show the texture at real scale.

Measuring up
Kyoto have not yet published the external frame dimensions for the Phoenix. The mattress sizes are standard UK, so any UK double or king mattress fits, but an upholstered frame and a tall headboard always add to the footprint. If your room or your stairway is tight, contact us before you order and we will get the measurements confirmed by the manufacturer for you.
Availability
This is a pre-order. Kyoto expect the first stock of the Phoenix in early January 2027: Stone Double and Grey King on 1 January, and Grey Double and Stone King on 3 January. You can order now to reserve yours from that first delivery. If the date moves we will let you know, and you can cancel for a full refund at any point before it is dispatched.
Delivery
Free delivery to mainland England and Wales, including Anglesey. We do not deliver to Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight or the Isles of Scilly.
Complete the bed
The Phoenix is sold without a mattress. A medium-firm pocket sprung or hybrid mattress suits an ottoman well because it is lighter to lift than a very deep pillowtop. Good matches include the Benchmark S1 Comfort mattress, the Jay-Be TrueCore Hybrid 2000 and the Well-being Anti-bug Memory 1000.
Prefer a cleaner, less traditional headboard? The Georgia Multi-Lift Ottoman Bed comes in the same Asteria fabrics. The Denver Multi-Lift Ottoman Bed is available now, and the Emerson Ottoman Bed comes in velvet. Browse every bed frame we sell, or the full Kyoto range.
Frequently asked questions
Is a mattress included with the Phoenix ottoman bed?
No, it is a bed frame only. Any standard UK double (135 x 190cm) or king (150 x 200cm) mattress will fit, including the one you already have.
Can I open the storage if one side of the bed is against a wall?
Yes. That is the point of a multi-lift base: it can open from the side or from the foot, so you choose the direction that suits your room.
Is it hard to lift the base?
No. Gas struts carry most of the weight, so the lift is manageable one-handed with a typical mattress. A very heavy, deep mattress makes any ottoman harder to lift, so a medium-depth pocket sprung or hybrid mattress is the easiest to live with.
Grey or stone: which should I choose?
Grey is cooler and suits white, navy and charcoal schemes. Stone is warmer and suits cream, oak and terracotta. Both are the same hard-wearing textured weave and both hide everyday marks well.
When will my Phoenix be delivered?
Kyoto expect first stock between 1 and 3 January 2027, depending on size and colour. Pre-orders are filled in the order they are received, and we will contact you to book a delivery day as soon as yours arrives.
