The Best Storage Beds for Every Style & Budget
Given the fact that the average person spends about a third of their life in bed, it’s important that you take the time choose the right one for you. And if you have limited storage space or small living quarters and need to find creative places to store things, a multifunctional piece of furniture like a bed that doubles as storage can be a great idea.
When it comes to finding a storage bed for your space, remember that the best ones combine functionality, style, and comfort. With this in mind, we set out to find the storage beds that deserve a space in your home.
To do this, we scoured dozens of retailers looking at qualities like upholstery options, type of storage, price points, and assembly. We also sought out the advice of Janelle Cohen, professional organizer and author of The Folding Book; Layne Povey, principal designer at Lynden Lane Co.; and Alicia Cheung Lichtenstein, principal designer at Studio Heimat.

It comes in a great variety of upholstery options and is made from high-quality materials.
-
It’s not suited for people who want a bed with a traditional look.
Available in four bed sizes and over 30 upholstery options, the Pottery Barn Jake Upholstered Storage Platform Bed is our top pick. Not only is this piece versatile and sleek enough to suit any existing decor style, but it also comes at a reasonable price for the quality. A solid wood frame ensures this bed is durable and supportive, and the metal legs give it a modern feel.
We love that the frame is compatible with adjustable mattresses, and you don’t need a boxspring. The drawers, two on each side, are easy to open and don’t require you to mess up your perfectly made linens to access them. Should you want help with assembly, Pottery Barn offers a “White Glove Service,” in which items are delivered and assembled by appointment for an additional fee.
Storage Type: Side drawers | Materials: Solid pine wood frame, fabric upholstery, metal legs | Sizes: Full, queen, king, California queen

This affordable bed has a tufted headboard, which adds a chic touch.
-
The frame could be made with a sturdier material.
You'd never know this storage bed was a bargain find thanks to its chic style. With a tufted linen headboard and hidden storage drawers, it has a streamlined look that can work in any space while adding plenty of room to tuck away linens, clothes, and other items cluttering your room. However, the drawers are made of wire, so smaller items will need to be put in boxes or else they will fall through.
Another thing we like about this bedframe is that it has an adjustable headboard, so you can raise and lower it depending on the height of your mattress. It also doesn't require a box spring, though it does have an extensive assembly process.
Because this is a budget pick, it doesn't have the most durable frame, so it may not be as long-lasting as a bed frame made from solid wood or metal. Still, it feels plenty sturdy once assembled, and with proper care, it can remain a fixture of your room for years to come.
Storage Type: Drawers | Materials: Fiberboard frame, linen upholstery | Sizes: Full/double, queen, king
