Double Bed with Storage

So, the answer to the question of “What’s the best double ottoman bed with storage?” can be very subjective as it depends on your room lay out, spacing, your storge needs and your budget. Consider the following criteria when choosing a double storage bed. The storage mechanism – if the frame is using a gas‐lift or hydraulic struts this means the mattress base lifts easily and stays open, meaning it is effortless to access your storage under the bed. All Impact Furniture’s double storge beds use hydraulic struts. Our Tetrix double storage bed stands out due to its modern design and versatile white gloss finish. Size and storage capacity of the underbed storage compartment – generally a double size storage bed frame offers a good compromise of sleep space and storage for small to medium bedrooms. Pay attention to how the compartment is constructed. Many ottoman beds are designed with legs, which reduces the available storage space and leaves a gap between the storage base and the floor. Additionally, raised bases may not support heavy items. For maximum storage capacity and stability, choose an ottoman bed frame with a floor-level storage base — this design makes full use of the under-bed area and safely accommodates heavier belongings. The Tetrix ottoman beds collection has the base position on the flooring offering large storge capacity in the underbed compartment. Compatibility with your existing mattresses and your room – to avoid unnecessary expense of buying a new mattress make sure your existing mattress works with the storage bed base you are planning on buying and the width and length fit. As to room space, ensure you have space to open the storage without obstruction, for example consider eves of the room when the base of the bed if fully up. Price vs value – because double beds with storage offer a double function of sleeping space plus storage, they tend to cost more than standard frames. Think if you can obtain desired storage space elsewhere in your home at a lower cost. If the answer is no, then it is worth investing into a decreet and plentiful storage solution provided by a double bed with storage. Aesthetic fit – ask yourself if you are planning on creating a modern Scandi or minimalist room or a traditional bedroom. When choosing a storage bed, consider your existing furniture, wall colour, and flooring to ensure a cohesive look. Our Tetrix Oak Double Bed with Storage features minimalist, straight lines that pair beautifully with light coloured walls for a calming Scandi inspired feel. It also complements traditional interiors, carpeted floors, and earthy toned walls, making it a versatile choice for a range of bedroom styles.

While storage beds are an incredible space saving solution, especially for small bedrooms or loft rooms with sloped ceilings where a wardrobe may not fit - they do have a few drawbacks worth considering before purchasing. Heavy and Difficult to Reposition Since storage beds, especially ottoman styles with lift up bases, are significantly heavier than standard bed frames. This makes them more difficult to move when redesigning a room, redecorating, or relocating. More Complex Assembly Because of many more parts and the hydraulic lift up bases or drawer mechanisms, storage beds would take longer to assemble and may require more then one person with moderate DIY skills to do it. Do hire a professional if in doubt about your assembly abilities as this will save you the hassle and possibly expense of damaging the frame in the event of incorrect assembly. Preventing Moisture Damage in Storage Beds Moisture is a common issue for storage beds, especially when storing items that trap heat or dampness. It can damage bedding, encourage mould growth, and shorten the bed’s lifespan. Always consider room ventilation and ensure the space is well ventilated with no damp issues before choosing a storage bed. Less Variety in Designs Storage beds require specific construction to remain functional, which limits design variety compared to traditional frames. At Impact Furniture, we offer streamlined, minimalist styles in a range of wooden effect and gloss finishes, combining practicality with modern design.
