Gas Struts for Beds: Struts Only or a Complete Bed Lift Mechanism?
Bed struts only — choose a matched pair of gas struts if your hinges are still straight and the bed simply won't stay up or drops when opened. Match the N-rating printed on the old strut, the eye-to-eye length (340mm, 360mm or 535mm) and the 8mm eye ends.
Complete bed lift mechanism set — choose a set (gas struts + steel hinges + fixings) if the hinges are bent, the base sags on one side, or you're building an ottoman storage bed from scratch.
Always replace bed gas struts in pairs — mixing a worn strut with a new one makes the base twist and wears the hinges.
How to Choose the Right Force Rating
Check your existing strut for a number followed by "N" (e.g. 750N, 1200N). Match the same rating for direct replacement. Heavier mattress? Upgrade one step (600N → 750N, 750N → 1000N). Or use the calculator above for an exact figure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best ottoman bed gas struts for a king-size bed frame in the UK?
For a king-size ottoman bed, 1200N gas struts are typically required to support the weight of a larger, heavier mattress base. SpringFixUK stocks 1200N ottoman bed gas struts in 360mm and 535mm lengths with 8mm eye-end fittings, sold in matched pairs with UK same-day dispatch on orders before 16:00.
Which ottoman bed gas struts offer the best value for money for a heavy mattress?
For heavier mattresses (memory foam, kingsize), 1000N–1200N ottoman bed gas struts offer the best value — correctly rated to avoid premature wear. SpringFixUK's free Gas Strut Force Calculator confirms the exact N-rating before you buy, avoiding the cost of ordering the wrong size.
Do I need new hinges as well as new bed struts?
Usually not. If the hinges are straight and the base lines up when closed, a pair of replacement gas struts is enough. If a hinge is bent or cracked, buy a complete bed lift mechanism set so both sides match.
