Storage Beds For Better Bedroom Space

A storage bed helps you make more of the space you already have. At SoSoftBeds, our storage bed range includes lift-up ottoman beds, drawer divans and upholstered bed frames designed to keep bedrooms tidy without extra bulky furniture.

Choose single storage beds for compact rooms, double beds with storage for everyday bedrooms, or king and super king storage beds for maximum capacity. The right option depends on your room layout, how often you need access and whether you prefer one large storage area or smaller drawers.

Which type of storage bed is best?

Ottoman storage beds are best when you want one large hidden area for bedding, duvets, seasonal clothes or bulky bedroom essentials. Drawer storage beds are useful for smaller items you access more often, such as spare sheets, clothes, throws or children's room storage.

If the sides of your bed are close to walls, wardrobes or bedside furniture, a lift-up ottoman can be easier than drawers. If you have clear space beside the bed and want quick access without lifting the mattress platform, drawer storage may feel more convenient.

Storage bed comparison guide

Ottoman storage or drawer storage?

Ottoman storage is best when you want one large area beneath the bed. Drawer storage is useful for smaller items you access regularly. Your room layout and available side space will usually decide which option feels easiest day to day.

What storage depth should I choose?

As a guide, standard ottoman storage is around 26cm deep, extra deep storage is around 33cm and super deep storage is around 39cm. Standard storage suits lighter items, while extra deep and super deep storage work better for bulky bedding and seasonal clothes.

Which storage bed size gives the most capacity?

Larger beds usually provide more storage volume. Super king storage beds can offer the highest capacity, while single and small double storage beds are better for compact rooms where saving floor space matters most.

Measure before ordering

Check the mattress size, finished bed frame footprint, headboard height and opening clearance. For drawer beds, measure side clearance. For ottoman beds, check whether side lift or end lift access suits the room better.
