Storage Beds

What types of storage beds are available?

There’s a storage bed for every need, whether you're looking to keep clutter at bay in a smaller bedroom, furnish a kid's room, or enhance a master bedroom. Here are the most popular types:

• Ottoman beds: These storage beds lift at the base, either on the side or the end of the bed, to reveal under-bed storage that matches the size of your mattress and frame. These offer the most storage space out of all of our storage beds.
• Divan bases: Compact and flush with the mattress, these storage beds come with drawers and can be paired with a statement headboard. Choose options with 1-4 drawers on one or both sides of the bed.
• Sleigh beds: Elegant with a curved headboard and footboard, these storage bed frames are available with either a side-opening ottoman or 1-2 drawers.
• TV beds: These high-tech storage beds have an optional lift-up base and built-in TV in the foot end. Perfect for space-saving and movie nights, while keeping wires and plugs tidy and out of the way.
• Kids' beds: Organise your child's bedroom with a storage bed frame, available with a lift-up base, choice of drawers, or high-sleepers with built-in desks or shelving.
• Guest beds: Perfect for spare rooms, day beds offer a seating area by day and a sleeping area by night, with a drawer for added storage.

What sizes do storage beds come in?

• Super king storage beds (6’0 wide): These offer the most generous storage space, ideal for keeping bulky bedding, clothes and extras neatly out of sight.
• King-size storage beds (5’0 wide): A great choice for spacious master bedrooms, king-size storage beds provide ample room to organise everyday essentials while maintaining a clean, relaxing feel.
• Double beds with storage (4’6 wide): Ideal for couples or solo sleepers who want extra space, double storage beds balance generous under-bed storage with a tidy, well-proportioned room layout.
• Small double storage beds (4’0 wide): Perfect for smaller rooms, these beds maximise storage without overwhelming the space, helping you keep clutter neatly tucked away.
• Single beds with storage (3’0 wide): A smart solution for guest rooms, teens’ bedrooms or compact spaces, offering handy storage for bedding, clothes and everyday items.
• Euro single (3’0 wide with 10cm extra length): Ideal for taller sleepers in narrower rooms, euro single sizes combine extra legroom with practical storage to keep the space organised.

You'll need to account for additional space required for pull-out drawers, the height needed to lift up the mattress for ottomans, and any extra storage features like built-in desks or shelves. You can find all of this information in the product descriptions for each storage bed.

How much storage does a storage bed provide?

The amount of space a storage bed provides depends on the type and design you choose. Beds with drawers typically offer 1 to 4 drawers; the more drawers you have, the more space you’ll have, however, the space within these drawers may be limited. Ottoman beds provide the most storage, as you get the entire area underneath the bed with a lift-up mattress. The larger the bed frame, the more storage space it offers.

For kids, bunk beds, mid-sleepers, and high-sleepers offer additional storage, such as beds with drawers, built-in desks, shelves, or closets. This makes them perfect for providing the most space.

What are the best storage beds for small or awkwardly shaped rooms?

In smaller or awkwardly shaped rooms, it’s essential to maximise the available space as best you can. A tidy, well-organised bedroom helps create a calm, restful mindset, which is key to a good night’s sleep. Ottoman storage beds are an excellent choice for tight spaces, as they make full use of under-bed storage without taking up extra floor area. Additionally, beds with built-in shelves are a smart solution, as they combine storage with the bed itself, eliminating the need for additional furniture. As well as storage, try going for lighter bed colours, such as grey or white tones, as these can open up your space and make your room appear larger.

Are storage beds durable and comfortable?

Yes! Storage beds offer long-lasting comfort and functionality. With sturdy storage compartments, you won’t feel the drawers or the items stored underneath the bed. Many of our storage beds also feature reinforced slats for additional support. Whether you choose a durable wood storage bed, a sleek faux leather design that's easy to clean, or a softer upholstered option, your storage bed is built to last for years.

Of course, comfort also depends on the type of mattress you choose and proper care. To keep your storage bed in top condition, you can add our Bedcover service plan at checkout, which provides protection against damage and includes a professional cleaning and care package.

Will I need to assemble my storage bed?

Many storage beds require some level of assembly and come with easy-to-follow instructions. To make things easier, we offer an assembly service, where we’ll deliver your new storage bed frame, assemble it for you, and even take away your old bed with our recycling service.
