Benefits of buying a storage bed

Are you afraid to open your bedroom closet because you know that an avalanche of clothes, shoes and other assorted belongings will bury you? You know you need more space to store all these things… but where?

Maybe you should consider buying a storage bed. These pieces of furniture take advantage of the space under the mattress and box spring that normally goes to waste…unless you think this is the right place to keep errant dustballs and slippers. Under-bed storage is a very efficient use of this area.

In most cases, storage beds feature drawers that slide out from under each side of the bed. The headboard and footboard can also have shelves, drawers and cabinets. With all of these options, you can potentially store much more than just a few sheets and blankets. In smaller apartments, storage beds could replace an entire dresser without taking up valuable additional floor space.

It is also worth noting, by the way, that you can store almost anything in these beds, from tools to toys, from books to stationery. These drawers and cabinets do not come with a “clothes and bedding only” label.

One of the more interesting options available with some of these beds is to replace some of the under-bed storage drawers with…another bed. Trundle beds like these are a great option for a kid’s room, especially when they’re having their best friend over for a sleepover. When not in use, this replacement guest bed slides neatly and securely out of the way.

With the possibility of eliminating the need for other furniture, buying a bed with storage could be a great money-saving measure. Depending on the style and your budget, the storage bed will most likely cost less than buying a separate dresser and a conventional bed. In today’s economy, anything you can do to save a few bucks should be considered.

Finally, you don’t have to give up style for more storage space. You can find these beds built from the best materials and in many interesting and attractive configurations. Some of the beds on the market have employed some very unique ideas that combine functionality and beauty. Also, your son or daughter might think the idea of ​​storage under the bed is cool.
