How to Choose a Storage Bed: The Lazy Person’s Guide to Clutter-Free Bliss

Let’s face it: clutter is the enemy of peace, calm, and your sanity. If your bedroom has become a black hole for everything from socks to secret snack stashes, it’s time to meet your new best friend — the storage bed. Yes, a bed that’s not just a comfy place to sleep, but also a secret keeper of your stuff. Ready to dive into the wonderful world of storage beds? Here’s our to picking the perfect one (and making your bedroom look Instagram-worthy in the process). You can view all our storage beds here.

Step 1: Know Your Storage Superpowers

Are you the type who hoards like a squirrel gearing up for winter? Or do you just need a little extra space for your shoes, books, and the occasional leftover pizza? Storage beds come in all shapes and sizes, from sleek drawers to massive ottoman-style heroes. Check out our  options here — they’ve got a range of stylish, practical beds that’ll turn your bedroom from chaos to calm.

Step 2: Consider the Style That Slays

Are you a modern minimalist who dreams of clean lines and a bed that blends seamlessly into your décor? Or a boho babe who loves a bit of eclectic charm? The good news is, storage beds come in a variety of styles. Pick one that matches your vibe, like a chameleon transforming your sleep space into a sanctuary. Here at Beds on Legs we offers everything from elegant wooden frames to contemporary fabric designs — all with storage options, of course!

Step 3: Think About the Storage Mechanism (Because Slacking is Allowed)

Some storage beds have drawers, while others have lift-up ottoman-style bases. Think about what’s easier for you to access — are you all about the smooth glide drawers, or do you prefer lifting the mattress to reveal hidden treasures? Bonus points if you choose a bed with easy-to-open mechanisms, because frustrating storage is a no-go (and nobody has time for that). You can be rest assured that all our ottoman beds have gas lift mechanisms so you don't need body builder muscles to lift one of these bad boys,

Step 4: Measure Twice, Pick Once

Size does matter. Whether you’re a solo snoozer or sharing your bed with a partner, accuracy is key. Check your room dimensions and make sure your new storage bed fits like a glove. Pro tip: measure the space, then add a little extra for those midnight dance parties you secretly dream about. Visit our storage bed section to browse different sizes and find your perfect match.  One final tip, make sure you check out all our external measurements before you place your order.

Step 5: Comfort Is King (or Queen)

While storage is awesome, don’t forget the most important thing — comfort. Choose a mattress that complements your new bed frame for the ultimate snooze fest. Because, let’s face it, no amount of storage can save you from restless nights on a lumpy mattress.

Final Tips: Don’t Go Overboard (Literally)

It’s tempting to pack every last item into your new storage bed, but remember: you still need space to sleep. Keep it organized with baskets or dividers, and resist the urge to turn your under-bed area into another closet. Moderation is key, my friend.
