A functional bed with a container is a basic element of bedroom equipment. We are not only talking about box models with storage for bedding, but also about fold-out sofas and corner sofas, which are used in sleeping areas , youth rooms and living rooms. In this article, we will look at the most fashionable and most comfortable interior solutions in this area. So let's start!

Beds with containers as a practical and aesthetic solution

Are you arranging a comfortable space for night-time regeneration? Regardless of the type of décor you prefer, get a bed with storage, where you can store a lot of different things - not just duvets and pillows. This is especially important in small apartments, where any additional storage space is worth its weight in gold. Models of this type will also work great in a child's room. You can throw toys or seasonal clothes into the pull-out box. So it is worth checking the additional functionalities of the bed before buying. A high headboard, built-in mattress, topper, LED strip or a spacious storage will undoubtedly increase the comfort of use, and what's more, make it easier to keep the room tidy.

When is it worth choosing a bed with a storage container and when without one?

It depends primarily on individual needs and the specifics of the interior. If the bedroom is small and there is still not enough space for clothes, home textiles, documents or other knick-knacks, an additional container under the bed frame will undoubtedly come in handy. Especially if it can hold not only bedding, but also less frequently used textiles, blankets, bedspreads and even sports equipment. However, if the bedroom is large and you do not lack cabinets or drawers, you can safely decide on a bed without a container (including the impressive HARMONY model). So match the furniture to the arrangement, paying attention to the functionality of the decor. A great example is the JOKI youth bed, which offers not only a drawer for bedding, but also a shelf under the frame.

Don't forget about the right mattress fit. You can't do without it! Choose a foam, spring or bonell mattress. Some are equipped with an additional layer of latex, a coconut board or a special thermoelastic foam. In the Furnitop.co.uk store you will find mattresses and toppers dedicated to, among others, allergy sufferers and people struggling with spine problems.

Beds that open from the side or from the top?

A practical bedroom bed with a container can be opened from the side or from the top (by lifting the frame). The latter will work well in very small bedrooms, for example when there is other furniture right next to the bed and it is impossible to freely slide out a wide drawer from under the frame. In such cases, it is best to choose a bedroom bed with a chest that you can access from the top (without having to move bedside tables). Such models are extremely spacious because they offer a lot of space. Some storage compartments are additionally divided, which makes it easier to segregate stored items.

Another functional solution is a bedroom bed with a bedding container that slides out from the front of the furniture. This includes the GALA model. It has a drawer with two handles and long, open shelves on the sides. You can store books, magazines or other handy items on them. GALA is equipped with a high headrest (partially upholstered). The furniture is available in three standard dimensions (140x200, 160x200, 180x200).

Bed with or without a bedding container – which one to choose?

Stackable beds with storage are especially useful in a child's room. In this type of interior, you usually store a lot of things - from clothes through accessories to toys and all kinds of child's treasures. Additional storage under the bed will undoubtedly be useful, especially when the room is shared by siblings. Here, the wooden LENA bed with a pull-out drawer will work perfectly. You can throw a duvet, a pillow and a lot of other things in it. The model is available in three universal color variants (white, graphite, natural shade of wood) and will fit into your dream arrangement of the child's room.
