Which bed offers the most storage space?
There are three basic types of storage beds, each of them offering storage space but in a different way. Let us start with the most space-efficient storage choice:
Lift-up ottoman - ultimate spacious storage
These beds come with a fitted slatted frame equipped with gas lifts that allow the entire frame to be lifted. This way all space under-frame can be utilized for storage. What will fit there? Anything you want, from bulky items like duvets, blankets, pillows to suitcases, clothes, books etc.
Benefits:
- The entire frame lifts up, providing ample space to comfortably store or retrieve items

Bed drawers - maximize storage, reduce clutter
Although these beds don’t offer quite as much storage as ottoman beds, they are still very functional and allow for easier day-to-day access to stored items. The drawers placed under the bed are user-friendly and can be accessed even by children. Equipped mostly with rollers, they work smoothly. Bed frames may come with single, double or multiple drawers, especially in the case of super king-size frames.
Benefits:
- No strength is required to open them—just a simple pull-out mechanism
- Access to storage is possible even if someone is lying on the bed
- Divided compartments help keep things organised

How the lift-up ottoman bed frame works?
Our bed frames come with gas lifts, which are a type of mechanical spring that allows you to easily lift and lower the storage compartment in an ottoman bed. They offer an effortless operation that requires minimal strength.
How do gas-lifts work?
Think of a gas lift as a compact, powerful spring. Inside is a cylinder filled with compressed air. When you lift the ottoman lid, it pushes a piston, compressing the air and making it stronger. This pressure helps the lid open easily. When you close it, the piston releases the air, allowing the lid to shut smoothly.
Are gas lifts safe?
Yes. The process of raising and lowering the frame is steady and smooth. The frame stays locked in the raised position. Keep in mind that children can only use the storage under supervision.
Can you use any mattress with a lift-up frame?
Generally yes, but follow the frame requirements. Pay attention to the mattress thickness and maximum weight capacity given by the manufacturer.
Are there kids' beds with storage?
We all know that children tend to have the most belongings in the family, from toys to clothes and accessories. With so much stuff, extra storage is always useful. Storage beds offer a practical solution, combining sleeping and storage in one piece of furniture.
What are the variants of kids' beds with storage:
- Daybeds combine a mattress frame with drawers underneath, offering a tidy appearance while doubling as a sofa during the day.
- For shared rooms, consider a bunk bed with drawers below to keep toys neatly hidden
- There are also kids’ ottoman beds in smaller sizes, designed specifically for children.
- If you prefer open storage, a mid-sleeper bed with an elevated frame and space underneath is ideal for storing boxes and other items.
- Thanks to trundle beds with extra pull-out frame, you'll always be ready for sleepovers
