The Platform Bed With Storage - Learn How To Be Wise And Have Oodles Of Style

There was a time, not too long ago, when storage beds were fairly unappealing. Now the designers have got in gear and realized how many of us want extra storage and the current platform bed with storage designs are highly appealing.

The majority of platform beds are simple and latest designs. Although antiques are great, they do often need more space than we have; the furniture of previous years will quite frankly not fit into many apartments. However, having a small apartment doesn't mean that you need less clothes or have less stuff.

The platform bed with storage space comes in two basic designs. The first is an update of the original storage bed. The mattress is held on a platform, and directly below there are drawers. These drawers will usually be wooden and will be on rollers to metal rollers to make them easy to move. If you're looking for storage for items which you need daily access to then this is the proper design for you. But, before you buy make sure that you measure the area very carefully and be certain that you will can access the drawers once the bed is in situ.

The completely new design of bed, which has a superior 'wow' factor is the one where the mattress lifts. These are amazing beds. Basically the platform which holds the mattress is hinged at the head of the bed and you merely lift up the whole platform, mattress and all, and underneath is a huge storage.

One of the great advantages of these storage beds is that the space directly below is so large and therefore a great way to store large, bulky items or things that you don't want to get rid off, but you don't use regularly.

The lifting platform bed with storage will usually be a very streamlined design and will be very attractive. They are usually sold with the memory foam mattresses, if you have stretch the budget to one of these then well worth it, but certainly not a must.

There is one thing worth talking about the lifting platform bed - it isn't as heavy as you would think. Thanks to smartly designed hinges this is actually a relatively simple to lift.

Although I cannot guarantee every platform bed with storage is wonderful, I can assure you that almost all of these are good, trendy, contemporary designs which you will love and they are hugely practical, making them the perfect option for any bedroom.
