What is a Storage Bed?

A storage bed is a type of bed frame that incorporates built-in storage solutions, such as drawers, shelves, or compartments, within its design. These beds are designed to maximize space utilization by providing additional storage areas underneath the mattress or in the headboard, making them ideal for small bedrooms or homes with limited storage space.

Storage beds come in various styles and configurations, including these two popular choices:

➥ Storage Panel Beds: These beds feature drawers or cabinets integrated into the side panels or footboard, offering hidden storage for clothes, bedding, or personal items.
➥ Bookcase Beds: These beds incorporate bookcases into the headboard, providing convenient access to books, alarm clocks, and other bedside essentials, along with additional storage options like drawers or cabinets.

Storage beds offer a practical and stylish solution for maximizing space and keeping your bedroom organized.

Pros & Cons of Storage Beds

Like all things in the household world, a storage bed also has its pros and cons. Let’s look at them and see if it’s worth it or not.

Pros:

✅ Extra Storage Space: Storage space is arguably the biggest advantage of owning a storage bed. The built-in drawers, cabinets, or lift-up compartments provide valuable extra space to stash away items like extra bedding, clothes, books, and more. It's a great space-saving solution, especially for smaller bedrooms.
✅ Declutter Your Room: By giving you storage right under the bed frame, a storage bed helps cut down on clutter elsewhere in your bedroom. No more stacks of clothes or messy piles taking up precious floor space.
✅ Easy Access to Stored Items: With the storage compartments built right into the bed frame, you have very easy access to whatever is stored inside. No more having to dig through closets or crawl under the bed to retrieve items.
✅ Variety of Styles: Storage beds come in all sorts of styles from modern and minimalist to traditional designs with elaborate headboards. You can likely find an option that suits your decor tastes.

Cons:

❌ Heavier and Harder to Move: The added storage compartments make storage beds significantly heavier than regular beds. This makes them more difficult to move, rearrange, or get through tight doorways when moving homes.
❌ Reduced Underbed Clearance: The compartments or drawers built into the bed's base eat up some underbed clearance space. This hampers your ability to store taller items underneath.
❌ Higher Price Tag: You're essentially paying for an extra piece of furniture merged into the bed frame, so storage beds understandably cost more than basic bed frames or platform beds.
❌ Not Ideal for Platform-Style Mattresses: Many storage beds have solid wood or upholstered platforms on top instead of a traditional box spring. This style isn't compatible with popular platform-style mattresses that require solid surface support across the entire underside.

How to Choose the Best Storage Bed

These factors will help you pick the storage bed you really want for your bedroom.

  1. Consider the Design: Think about whether you want an upholstered, paneled, or bookcase-style headboard. Footboard drawers or a lift-up storage platform? Decide on the look and configuration that best suit your needs. Knowledge is a powerful tool, so just be informed and know what you want beforehand.
  2. Know Your Materials: Storage beds come in wood, wood veneer, or a combination with upholstery. Wood types like solid pine or oak provide durability, while upholstery adds a softer aesthetic.
  3. Pick a Color: Opt for a neutral finish like cherry, oak, or white that fits your decor. Or make a statement with something bolder like black or a distressed, reclaimed wood look. This one's all about your personal preferences.
  4. Hidden Features: Integrated lighting, USB charging ports, and under-mounted nightstands are convenient features to look for, so be on the lookout for these hidden gems.
  5. Consider Mattress Size: Make sure to choose an appropriately sized bed frame for your room's dimensions and mattress size.
  6. Don't Break the Bank: Storage beds cost more than basic beds but provide added value. Set a reasonable budget without sacrificing quality construction.
