Best double beds with storage for bedrooms small to large

A place to hide away all of your excess clothes, bedding, books and more? Sign us up.

It may not be the most glamorous feature to look for when buying a new double bed, but storage space is something you'll appreciate as the years go by.

First of all, think about the material of the bed frame. A metal bed frame tends to be the most budget-friendly and also the easiest to move around. If you move house often, a metal bed frame helps to streamline the process a little.

If you're looking for something with years (or even decades) of wear and tear in it, a wooden bed frame may be a better choice. In the middle, you'll find fabric and leather-covered options, although these need a little more upkeep.

Secondly, think about the type and size of the storage. You'll find different types of storage, including drawers, ottomans, divans or bookcases. Drawers are the most common and convenient type of storage, as they allow you to access your items easily and organise them neatly.

Ottomans are beds that lift to reveal a large storage space underneath, which is great for storing bulky items like blankets or suitcases. Divans are beds that have a base with built-in drawers or compartments, which can offer more storage space than regular drawers.

The size of the storage depends on the size of the bed and the amount of items you want to store. Generally, the larger the bed, the more storage space you will have. However, you should also consider the space available in your bedroom and the ease of access to the storage.

If you have a small bedroom, you may want to avoid a bed with drawers that open on the sides if you'll be taking things in and out frequently. Instead, opt for a bed with drawers that open at the foot of the bed, or an ottoman bed that lifts from the end.
