Storage Beds

Storage beds are a type of bed that incorporates built-in storage space within their frame. This makes them a great space-saving solution, especially for smaller bedrooms.

Whilst a bed with drawers offers a great storage solution, an ottoman bed offers the most storage. The entire space under the bed can bed used as storage, offering 4 times as much storage as a bed with drawers.

Storage beds offer several key benefits:

Space Saving: They utilize the often-wasted space under the bed for storage, eliminating the need for additional furniture like dressers or chests. This is especially valuable in smaller bedrooms or studio apartments.  

Decluttering: By providing a designated space for items like extra bedding, seasonal clothing, or off-season items, storage beds help keep your bedroom organized and clutter-free.  

Aesthetics: Many storage beds are designed with style in mind, offering a sleek and integrated look that complements various bedroom decors.

Convenience: Easily access your stored items without needing to move heavy furniture or climb into awkward spaces.

Storage needs: Consider how much storage space you need and what types of items you want to store.

Bed size: Choose a bed size that fits your bedroom and your needs.

Storage mechanism: Decide whether you prefer an ottoman bed, divan bed with drawers, or another type of storage bed.

Style: Select a bed that complements your bedroom decor.

Budget: Set a budget and stick to it.

The storage capacity depends on the bed size and style. Lift-up beds typically offer the most space, equivalent to the bed's footprint.

These offer convenient drawers built into the base of the bed frame.

These have a hinged base that lifts up with gas lift pistons to reveal a large storage compartment underneath.

Some beds incorporate shelves or drawers into the headboard for additional storage options.
