Single Storage Beds

Benefits of a Single Storage Bed

A single bed with storage is a smart space saving solution for making the most of your bedroom. Built-in storage gives you somewhere to keep bedding, clothes, toys and other essentials without taking up additional floor space. They’re a practical choice for smaller bedrooms, children’s rooms, teenagers’ bedrooms and guest spaces. For more ideas on making the most of your bedroom, explore our small bedroom design tips.

Single Beds With Drawers or Ottoman Storage?

Our single beds with drawers offer convenient storage from the side, while single ottoman beds  lift to reveal storage beneath the mattress. Drawers are ideal for items you need to access regularly, while ottoman storage can be useful for larger or seasonal belongings. If you’re deciding between the two, read our ottoman bed buying guide for more advice on choosing the right storage solution for your bedroom.

Choosing Your Single Storage Bed

Think about the size of your room, the type of storage you need and the style that suits your space. A standard UK single mattress measures 3ft (90cm) x 6ft 3in (190cm), but the overall dimensions of a bed frame can vary. Always check the individual product measurements before ordering, particularly when furnishing a smaller bedroom. You can find more help with choosing the right size in our bed and mattress size guide.

Storage for Every Bedroom

Single storage beds are a versatile choice for a range of bedrooms. In children’s and teenagers’ rooms, built-in storage provides a handy place for toys, clothes, books and bedding, helping to keep everyday clutter under control. In a guest bedroom, the space beneath the bed can be used to store spare bedding and towels, keeping them close at hand when needed.  They’re also a practical choice for adults looking to maximise storage in a smaller bedroom without adding bulky furniture.

Whether you’re updating a child’s room, creating a comfortable guest space or simply looking for more storage in your own bedroom, there’s a single storage bed to suit your needs and style.
