The 10 Best Storage Beds at Every Price Point

You’d be forgiven for not realizing at first glance that this bed has hidden storage beneath the mattress. Visually, it’s essentially just a classic, curved-edged bed frame that expertly protects you from stubbing a toe, thanks to the cushioned exterior. But with a simple tug, you’ll reveal an empty cavern beneath that you can fill with all your necessities.

This bed frame comes in three neutral colors and is made from a performance fabric that makes stains and grime things of the past. It’s also one of the most comfortable storage beds on the market, a fact that is reiterated by a slew of online reviews. Plus, delivery and assembly are included in the price, so it’s well worth the investment.

Sure, you know you need more storage. But maybe you don’t realize exactly how much storage you can actually get from one of these bed frames. Well, the folks at Sha Cerlin did the math for you. For this queen-size, velvet-tufted bed frame, you can storage up to four suitcases, ten storage bins, and a whopping 20 pairs of shoes.

This bed frame comes in seven different colors, from neutrals to poppier blues and yellows, and has an easy lifting mechanism that you don’t need to be a bodybuilder to operate. Plus, it’s available on Amazon, which means it’ll arrive in 0.2 seconds.

We get it: You’re a minimalist. That’s why having your extra bedding or towels hanging around offends you in the first place. While a lot of storage beds go the whole hog—headboards, feet, tufted upholstery—sometimes there’s something comforting about the grown-up version of just putting your mattress straight on the ground à la the college days. Well, now you can—with added storage.

This bed frame, which is made of solid and veneered oak, has four subtle drawers on each side. You can choose between two wood stains—the rich chestnut color pictured above or a beachy white oak—to customize it to your aesthetic. As a plus, it also comes in twin sizes (a rarity for higher-end models) so you can hide all those brightly colored kids toys if you so choose.

Right at this moment, you’re probably confused. You know all about the Thuma bed from those targeted Instagram ads, and you’re probably thinking, “There are no storage drawers under there!” But if you had read our review, you would know that Thuma actually makes under-bed storage drawers specifically for this model. Now, yes, they do cost extra—$295 for one, $590 for two, and $1,180 for four—but if you’re as in love with this style as we are, the cost is well worth it.

Each drawer comes with small, non-scratching wheels that you can roll effortlessly underneath this bed. They’re made of solid wood, so they’re highly durable and can fit a surprising amount. Plus, they come in all the same wood tones as the Thuma bed does, so your guests will never know that they didn’t come built in.

We’re all about bringing you what’s new and cool—as well as celebrating the classics, obviously—and right now that’s Hetta. The sister brand of Sundays, Hetta just launched, and while we were galavanting around its new showroom, we fell in love with this storage bed.

It’s a slipcover storage bed, which is something new on the market. From every angle, you would never guess that the mattress can lift up, providing you with tons of extra storage beneath. And while that’s all well and good, this might be the first time that storage wasn’t the main draw. We’re equally interested in the tall headboard, the performance fabric, and how the slipcover creates an elegant silhouette.

Castlery’s high, dramatic wingback headboard is the main point of attention here, making for a remarkably hotel-esque atmosphere. For storing extra linens (and whatever else you’ve got), the bottom of the frame pulls out into three drawers: two smaller by the head, and one large one at the foot of the bed.

There are a lot of ways you can customize this frame, starting with the size, whether you want the headboard to be removable, and, of course, whether you even want the extra storage. Reviewers love the style but, more importantly, also praise how efficient and professional the delivery and setup are.

Leave it to Amazon to have a smart, easy-to-use lift-up storage bed for a fraction of the price. The aesthetic is simple but solid, with a classic beige fabric. The hydraulic lift opens up a world of space underneath the bed. It’s a slat-style bed, which means there’s no need for a box-spring mattress, if that’s a concern.

You can choose from seven different upholstery options—from classic shades of gray to a bold yellow, if that’s your vibe—and even choose if you prefer a more modern headboard or the classic style that’s tufted. Reviewers noted that while the bed did take a little time to assemble, the instructions were clear, and once it was put together, it stayed that way.

Pottery Barn furniture is known for being an investment: It’s a lot of money up front, but the pieces tend to last forever. Case in point, this storage bed. It has a classic Pottery Barn feel with a minimal wood base and fabric construction, but the spacious drawers on either side of the bed make it useful for more than just good sleep.

Beyond deciding on the size of your bed, you can also pick between two wood wash tones and more than 50 upholstery materials and colors. While a beige linen is a classic choice, you can also opt for velvet options or performance fabrics that are easy to clean.

West Elm’s light wood storage bed is great for a kid’s or spare bedroom. It’s light, inviting, and easy to style. Its slightly curved feet maintain the mid-century vibe but with the mess-hiding abilities of the drawers.

Most importantly, this piece of furniture is made from a mixture of solid wood and engineered wood, all of which is certified by the FSC, which ensures that all the materials come from responsibly managed forests with environmental benefits in mind.

If you like a smartly placed piece of tufted furniture, this storage bed does the style well. The tufted headboard feels elegant, not cheap, and is a very good idea for a brand-new bedroom or one in need of a refresh.

You can choose between dark-gray and cream upholstery and also opt to either have two storage drawers or four. This is one of the strongest bed frames on the market, with a weight limit of around 6,400 pounds. You also get a five-year warranty with this piece, so if you decide to upgrade within that time frame, you’re all good to go.
