Benefits of buying a storage bed
Are you afraid to open your bedroom closet because you know 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 store errant dust balls 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 a lot more than just a few sheets and blankets. In smaller apartments, beds with storage could replace an entire dresser without taking up valuable additional floor space.
It’s also worth noting, by the way, that you can store just about anything on these beds, from tools to toys, from books to office supplies. These drawers and cabinets do not come with a label that says “clothes and bedding only.”
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 child’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 safely out of the way.
With the possibility of eliminating the need for another piece of furniture, buying a bed with storage could be a great money-saving measure. Depending on the style and your budget, the bed with storage 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 compromise on style to get more storage space. You can find these beds built with 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 function and beauty. Also, your son or daughter might think the idea of storing under the bed is cool.
