They combine the comfort of a great single bed with hidden storage underneath. No extra drawers. No added cabinets. Just an innovative, space-saving solution built right in.

Let’s help you reclaim your room, one square foot at a time.
What Is a Storage Bed?
A storage bed is designed with built-in space underneath for storing your items.
There are two popular styles:
- Drawer beds, which feature pull-out drawers on one or both sides
- Ottoman beds, which lift the mattress to reveal a deep compartment underneath
You’ll also find hybrid versions—TV beds with hidden storage, or frame styles that leave space below for boxes or bins.
While they're available in all sizes, a single bed with storage is perfect for:
- Kids’ bedrooms
- Guest rooms
- Small studio flats
- UK homes with limited space
Ottoman vs. Drawer Storage Beds
Let's break down the two main types of storage beds so you can make an informed choice.
Ottoman Storage Beds
These lift the entire mattress base to reveal a wide, deep compartment.
Best for:
- Maximising hidden storage
- Storing bulkier items
- Keeping your room looking minimal
They’re great for seasonal rotation—think winter duvets in summer, or luggage when not in use.
Drawer Storage Beds
These have drawers built into the sides or footboard.
Best for:
- Everyday access
- Organising smaller items
- Keeping things within reach
Perfect for kids' rooms, where they can pull out their toys or clothes.
Choosing between the two? Go for an ottoman if you want to store more. Choose drawers if convenience and speed are your top priorities.

How to Choose the Right Storage Single Bed
It’s not just about the look—it’s about how it works for your space.
Here’s what to consider:

Ensure there's sufficient room to pull drawers out or lift the mattress. Measure before you buy a single bed!
2. Who’s Using It?
Kids, guests, teens, or adults? Select a single bed frame that suits the person who will be using it.
3. Type of Storage
Need deep space for oversized items? Go ottoman. Want organised drawers for daily use? Go drawer-style.

Choose something that fits your room’s theme—plush headboards, sleek wood, or modern TV beds.
5. Budget & Longevity
Pick quality over quick fixes. A durable frame saves money long term.
Styling Tips for Single Beds
