Double bed with drawers – practicality and space saving

When choosing the design of a family sleeping place, people focus on 2 main factors - convenience and practicality of furniture. A double bed with drawers is the best option, as it has an external space for rest and an internal one, allowing you to "put away" some things.

 What is a bed with drawers?

 The capabilities of modern furniture manufacturers allow you to select interior items that carry not only the main purpose, but also additional functions. A striking example of such furniture are modern models of beds with drawers, where the surface is used as a sleeping place, and the internal space is for storing things.

This piece of furniture is presented in the form of a solid frame on which a mattress is installed, and a frame for drawers equipped with movable mechanisms or slats. Usually the frame has a height of 30 cm and above, depending on their size.

There are also bed options that resemble Soviet sofa-beds with a box. Only the lifting mechanism on modern models differs in a variety of shapes and versions. On such beds, the mattress is lifted up from the end, or up from the side, or shifted to the side.

Why choose a bed with drawers?

By giving preference to furniture elements, in the design of which there is hidden space for storing things, each consumer gets a profitable purchase. After all, with a bed with drawers:

• you can put bedding in it that is used seasonally, that is, in the summer you can put away a warm blanket, terry sheets, etc.;
• there is a place to temporarily put away pillows that are rarely used, for example, guest pillows;
• there is a place to store and put bed linen;
• It is convenient and easy to get all the things stored there.

In addition to the listed advantages, it is also worth paying attention to the fact that modern industry offers a wide range of models of beds with drawers, which are equipped with orthopedic functions.

This is interesting! Feng Shui followers are advised to buy beds with drawers, since, according to aspects of the teaching, energy should flow freely inside the sleeping area. True, there are some inconveniences associated with the use of drawers, but adherents have found a way out here too. They recommend putting only those bedding items that are currently in use inside the furniture.

But there are also some inconveniences of bedroom furniture with drawers:

• difficulties in cleaning the under-bed space;
• the bulkiness of such furniture;
• inconvenience with the location of the bed, because it must be positioned so that it is possible to use the pull-out elements;
• difficulties in cleaning the boxes themselves, which turns them into dust collectors;
• If you have allergies, you should avoid storing things for a long time, so as not to provoke an exacerbation.

Types and models of beds

Among modern models of double beds with drawers, manufacturers produce 2 main standard types.

1. Furniture with drawers, which is also presented in several variants. The bed itself can be of a conventional design, and the pull-out elements can be independent units. Or the drawers are built into the bed and move due to rollers or other devices. There are versions with 2 or 3 rows of pull-out elements.
2. Beds with a lifting mechanism. In such models, the drawer is designed as a box and is a static element, i.e. non-retractable. Access to it occurs by lifting the main mattress. This option is suitable for small bedrooms or for those rooms where it is not possible to use retractable structures.

There are also non-standard shapes. Modern manufacturers offer consumers sleeping places in the form of oval, round and semi-circular structures. In most models, such beds are equipped with a lifting mechanism and drawers at the same time.

What to Consider When Choosing a Bed

When choosing furniture for a sleeping area, you should focus on the following factors:

1. Bed sizes that should be selected taking into account the area of ​​the room and other furniture items. The best option is to buy a ready-made bedroom set. And in the case when you only need a bed, you need to focus on the quality and material of the existing furniture.
2. Functional features and the possibility of their use. If you have a small room and small distances between furniture, we recommend the option with a lifting mechanism. If there is enough space, you can choose whatever your heart desires. Experts advise paying attention to models where the drawers are on wheels and are independent units. This design will avoid the inconvenience of cleaning and cleaning the pull-out elements.
3. The material used to make the furniture. Beds and drawers in the affordable price segment are made of chipboard and MDF.
4. Mattress model. Leading manufacturers of orthopedic mattresses not only guarantee a long service life, but also the naturalness of the materials used, which is suitable for people with allergic reactions.
5. Durability of the structural elements. It is necessary to make sure that all elements and crossbars can withstand the weight of the mattress, as well as the weight of the sleeping people.
6. Possibility of replacing structural elements and repairing moving devices.
7. The amount you are willing to pay to arrange your own sleeping place.

Particular attention should be paid to the material. Furniture manufacturers use the following materials to make beds:

• tree;
• metal;
• Chipboard and MDF.

The materials used have the main impact on pricing. The cost of a bed with a wooden frame and the same components is often several times higher than furniture made of MDF or chipboard. Metal is rarely used for the base and only as a budget option; it is more often used to produce a lifting mechanism and drawer pull-out devices.

A double bed, which is equipped with pull-out elements or boxes under the sleeping area, is a modern practical option for bedroom equipment. At the same time, the buyer gets a comfortable area for rest and sleep, as well as useful space for storing and placing things that are difficult to place in closets and chests of drawers due to their bulkiness.
