Duke vs Empire vs Florence: Comparing Valtiva's Ottoman Bed Styles

Written by the Valtiva Team

These three sit at the same price point with the same specifications — so the real decision between them comes down entirely to which silhouette actually suits your taste. Here's an honest breakdown.

Duke — considered and understated

Empire — bold and substantial

Florence — soft and classically European

What They Genuinely Share

There's no wrong practical choice here — this is genuinely a style decision, not a budget or specification one.

Duke: Considered and Understated

Duke is described in our own product details as bringing "quiet, elegant style" — a considered, restrained silhouette that doesn't compete for attention. If you want Ottoman storage's practicality without a bold visual statement, Duke is the most understated of the three.

Empire: Bold and Substantial

Empire is genuinely different in scale — an extra-width upholstered frame with what we describe as a "striking, substantial profile." If you want your bed to feel like a genuine statement piece, Empire is built for that specifically.

Florence: Soft and Classically European

Florence draws on classic European upholstery for a softly tailored, graceful silhouette aimed at timeless elegance rather than either Duke's restraint or Empire's drama.

Compare all three, along with the rest of our range, in the Ottoman Storage Beds collection.
