Why is it called an Ottoman bed?
1 Answer
Why it is called an Ottoman bed comes down to where this type of furniture originated. Artisans in the Ottoman Empire created the Ottoman bed and it spread throughout Europe through trade. The Ottoman Empire included parts of the Middle East, North Africa and Southeastern Europe. Ottoman makers also developed the foot stool, commonly called an ottoman, and the low plush sofas known today as divans. Shop a wide range of beds on 1stDibs.
