A storage bed can combine a bed, wardrobe and guest bed in one. The extra space beneath or beside the sleeping area is especially useful in small flats, children’s bedrooms and guest rooms. However, features vary considerably: a bed with drawers needs enough room to pull them out, a bed with hydraulic storage needs clearance above it, and a day bed with a pull-out bed can become much wider when extended.
If you focus only on the design or the number of extra features, it’s easy to overlook important details. Before buying, check the dimensions, weight capacity, what’s included and how you’ll actually use the bed.
The measurements 90x200 cm bed, 140x200 cm bed, 160x200 cm bed or 180x200 cm bed usually refer to the mattress size that fits the bed – not the overall dimensions of the frame. The headboard, side rails, shelves and drawers can all add extra centimetres.
Before ordering, measure:
For a day bed with a pull-out bed, also consider whether the second sleeping area will be used only occasionally or on a regular basis.
A storage bed may have drawers, open compartments, a compartment in the headboard or a lift-up slatted base. Each option has different requirements. Drawers make it easy to organise your belongings, but need space at the side. Hydraulic storage makes better use of the space beneath the mattress, but needs enough clearance to lift it up.
Check the product details for specific information about:
A bed with a USB port, USB-C charging port or LED lighting can be useful in everyday life. Even so, check whether the ports can be fitted on your preferred side of the bed, how many there are and whether the lighting is for decorative purposes only.
Keep electrical ports away from liquids. When assembling the bed, install cables and connectors according to the instructions. LED lighting isn’t a substitute for normal room lighting or a reading light unless the product description confirms that it’s suitable for those purposes.
First, check the sleeping area you need. A bed frame with a slatted base is especially convenient if the right base is already included. Many models don’t include a mattress. The recommended mattress height can also be important: with a hydraulic system, the mattress needs to suit the lifting mechanism, while with a recessed frame, you should take the height of the frame edge into account.
For children’s and teenagers’ bedrooms, smaller sizes such as 90x190 cm are available as well as a 90x200 cm bed. For a children’s storage bed, also check the maximum load, whether the edges are rounded and that all parts are securely fastened.
Depending on the product, the stated maximum load may apply to one person, the entire sleeping area or the user plus the mattress. Don’t assume it’s the same as the load capacity of individual drawers or a bench.
Material descriptions such as MDF, chipboard, plywood, solid wood, metal or a combination of these don’t, by themselves, tell you whether a bed is suitable for a particular room. The construction, number of support points, fixings and assembly according to the instructions are what matter.
An upholstered storage bed is often delivered flat-packed. Check how many parcels to expect and whether they might arrive separately. For larger models, it’s best to assemble the bed with two people. Check all screws and connections before first use, then tighten them at regular intervals.
For fabric upholstery, clean with a slightly damp cloth and a mild cleaning product, provided the care instructions allow it. Don’t leave wooden or coated surfaces exposed to moisture for long periods.

It depends on the mechanism. Drawers need clear space at the side to pull them out, while hydraulic storage mainly needs room to lift the mattress. A pull-out bed needs enough space for the extended sleeping area to fit fully in the room. Always check the overall dimensions and the maximum space needed to use the features, not just the mattress size.
It depends on the model. Several of the product descriptions mentioned here include the frame and slatted base, but not the mattress. Before buying, check the details under ‘What’s included’ and the recommended mattress height.
There’s no reliable way to give a standard lifespan. It depends on factors including the materials, construction, load, assembly and care. Using the bed evenly and within the stated load limit, and regularly checking the screws, fittings and drawer runners, can help keep it working well for years.
