The Best Beds with Under-Bed Drawers
A bed with drawers built into its base is one of the simplest ways to gain storage without adding another piece of furniture to the room. The space beneath a double or king size mattress is large, and drawers make it accessible every day rather than only when you are prepared to lift a heavy mattress. In this guide we look at the main drawer layouts, from two side drawers to four drawer bases and continental drawers at the foot end. We explain how much floor clearance you need for drawers to open fully, which materials hold up best to daily use, and how to decide what to store where. We also cover the trade offs compared with ottoman beds, how drawer beds work in small and shared rooms, and the details worth checking before you choose, such as runners, handles and slat support. The aim is a bedroom that stays tidy with very little effort....
