Product Overview
This pair of 1000N gas struts is built for heavier ottoman and storage bed systems that demand greater lifting force. Fitted as a matched pair, they deliver firm, controlled assistance when raising the bed base, keeping it securely held open while you access the storage beneath.
Typical supported load (pair):
Approximately 80–100 kg, based on the combined weight of the mattress and bed base.
Recommended Applications
- King-size ottoman beds
- Queen-size storage beds
- Large double bed frames with heavier or thicker mattresses
- Reinforced storage bed platforms
These struts are engineered to assist lifting under higher loads. They work in conjunction with the bed frame and should always be installed as a pair.
Usage Guidance
- Always fit gas struts in matched pairs
- The 1000N rating is the combined output of both struts together
- Performance is influenced by hinge placement, opening angle and overall frame design
🔧 Important Information
- Load figures are provided as a general reference only
- Bed frame construction and bracket positioning affect actual lifting behaviour
- For beds at the upper end of the load range, a higher force rating may deliver more consistent control
Key Features
- High-force lifting support for larger and heavier bed systems
- Smooth, progressive opening action with no sudden movement
- Holds the bed base firmly in the raised position during storage access
- Designed for reinforced domestic ottoman and divan bed frames
🧮 Need Help Choosing the Right Force?
Getting the force rating right is essential for safe and comfortable use. Before placing your order, take into account:
- The weight of your mattress
- The weight of the bed base itself
- The angle at which the bed opens
Choosing the correct rating prevents the bed from feeling too stiff to lift or from opening with too much force.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Are these suitable for king-size beds?
Yes. The 1000N pair is specifically suited to king-size and larger queen-size ottoman beds. Always verify your existing strut measurements before ordering.
Is 1000N the force of each strut?
No. 1000N is the total combined output of both struts working together as a pair.
Can I use just one strut?
No. Single-strut installation creates an uneven load and is unsafe. Always fit as a matched pair.
What if the size is not right for my bed?
Unused items in original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery.
