  Available in two colors (blush and light grey) this velvet storage bed adds an elevated touch of texture to any room. Plus, the round headboard is a stylish upgrade on the classic rectangle shape.

  Sizes available: Full, queen, and king

  Star rating: 4.2 out of 5

  Star rating: 4.5 out of 5

  Customer review: “I love this bed frame and headboard. The instructions were simple, and while it has many pieces, it was not complicated to put together. The drawers are spacious, and the space in the middle underneath the mattress is nice for storage as well. The mattress doesn’t slide around even though there are no edges to contain it. I love it!” —Nelly

• South Shore Flexible Queen Platform Bed with Storage Compartments

  This minimalist storage bed leverages cubbies over drawers, and it’s perfect for an open-shelving enthusiast. It comes with grey upholstered storage bins, but you could swap them out for any color to create a bespoke look. This bed is available in black or white.

  Sizes available: Twin, full, queen, and king 

  Star rating: 4.4 out of 5

  Customer review: “If you have a small space and need extra storage, this does the trick. Viewable cubbies are deeper and roomier than the pictures might lead you to believe. Plus, because the bed frame has no bottom and sits directly on the floor, you can pack the inside with heavy boxed junk—like seven years of tax documents that you really don’t want to access, but need to keep. Seven standard banker’s boxes fit inside the inner frame, resting on your own floor covered by the support and mattress, and nobody knows they are in there but you.” —Rev

The bed is just what we wanted: We love the color and fabric, and the construction quality is A+. The storage drawer is an added bonus.” —CRE

  In our opinion, a storage bed is functioning at its highest ability when it doesn’t look like a storage bed—that’s exactly what we love about this wood frame option. The drawers that come with this bed can be removed and used underneath other pieces of furniture, adding a layer of versatility. Many reviewers applaud its shallow drawer design as perfect for storing sneakers.

  Sizes available: Queen and king

  Customer review: “It’s a perfect solution for shoe storage under the bed, sturdy and easy to put together. The wheels are solid and offer smooth rolling.” —Caroline

• Apt2B Hollyridge Full Platform Storage Bed

  Made of solid Acacia wood, this button-tufted storage bed has two drawers hidden in the base of its platform. The basalt grey color palette adds a dose of Hollywood glamour to any room and—we’re not kidding—the storage is basically invisible to anyone who isn’t in the know.

  Sizes available: Full, queen, king, and California king

  Star rating: 5 out of 5

  Customer review: “I ordered the Hollyridge storage bed in the king size. I fell in love with it from the moment I browsed the various pictures. It arrived a few days ago, and it was setup carefully in my bedroom by the delivery company. I can say without a doubt this bed exceeded my expectations. It’s very sturdy, and the wood is impeccable. It lived up to the pictures on Apt2B website.” —Hiral

The footboard placement of the drawers also allows for easy access.

  Star rating: 4.4 out of 5

Three large drawers offer up ample space for toys, clothing, linens, or craft supplies and—here’s something you never knew you wanted—you can choose on which side of the bed to place the drawers. Another kid-friendly design detail: The storage drawers are handle-less and feature easy-to-use cutouts for opening and closing.

  Size available: Twin

  Star rating: 4.4 out of 5

  Customer review: “My son loves his new bed! It is a very easy build. I’m nine months pregnant and had a seven-year-old help me, and we finished it in a reasonable amount of time. Best yet, there are pre-drilled holes so it’s fool-proof. In retrospect, it would have been nice with a headboard, but next time.” —Maria

• DG Casa Twin Upholstered Bed Frame

  A button-tufted headboard with a nailhead trim gives this best-selling storage bed an extra dose of texture.

  Star rating: 4 out of 5

  Customer review: “Definitely love this bed! I have been using it for a couple months and everything works out great. It’s modern, stylish, and fits well with my room (or other types of modern rooms). The materials made the bed feel warm. Shipping was quick, and it came in three boxes, which makes each box not too heavy and easy to carry upstairs for a small girl like myself. The drawers are useful as additional storage, and they are easy to pull out with wheels.” —Stacy

• Novogratz Brittany King Upholstered Bed

  The upholstery on this bedframe is so inviting—just the kind of surface to prop your self up against and settle into a good book. The frame is a sturdy affair, with four spacious underbed drawers. The fabric is called "grey," but it's really more of an ivory with grey undertones, in our opinion. It's the perfect neutral color that will go with just about any color palette you're using. This bed also comes in a few other colors, but grey is the only version with the drawers.

  Sizes available: Twin, full, queen, and king beds

  Star rating: 4.2 out of 5

  Customer review: “Looking for an affordable, good looking storage bed leaves much to be desired, and I’m so happy we went with this one. Assembly was relatively easy, only took an hour to get the frame together, another 35 minutes for the drawers. There were clear instructions and everything was labeled. Well worth it!” —Carlie

• Mercury Row Cletus Upholstered Low Profile Platform Bed Frame

  Here's another simple and sleek upholstered pick we love. The low-profile bed features a neutral grey linen channel headboard, as well as four storage drawers where you can store everything from bulky bedding and pillows to off-season clothing and shoes.

  Sizes available: Full, queen, and Eastern king beds

  Star rating: 4.6 out of 5

  Customer review: “I have had this bed for about three months, and I couldn't be happier! This was a great purchase. The bed is beautiful, the drawers are so spacious and easy to use, and it's comfortable … I can read in bed while my head is supported on the padded headboard. I would recommend this bed to anyone. I love, love, love it! ! This is a great bed. It's easy to put together and functional.” —Shirlee

• Storkcraft Kids Twin Captain's Bed with Trundle

  It’s not often you come across a trundle bed with built-in storage drawers. Heck, it’s not often you come across a trundle bed that’s easily mistaken for a chic storage bed. But this twin-size captain’s bed delivers both. Although it may seem like there are six drawers grounding the bed frame, the top set disguises the pull-out trundle bed. Don’t worry, the bottom set are real storage drawers, and they offer a ton of space, so you won’t be bummed that the top three are a bit of a mirage.

  Size available: Twin

  Star rating: 4.3 out of 5

  Customer review: “We got this bed for our five-year-old daughter, and have been thrilled with it! Assembly: The pieces for this bed come in four separate (heavy) boxes. However, the directions were easy to follow, and it didn’t take too long to assemble (less than an hour). Quality: I feel like this bed is definitely made from high-quality components. It’s very sturdy. My favorite feature is the fact that we were able to get a trundle plus storage drawers, so now we have a spare bed for when friends or cousins come over. The trundle is easy to slide in and out on our floor. The overall appearance of this bed is beautiful.” —Miranda

• Furniture of America Daja Full Solid Wood Storage Daybed

  This lovely daybed is another one of our favorite contemporary storage beds. It’s perfect for a guest room, TV room, or teen’s room. Find it in black or white.

  Sizes available: Full

  Star rating: 4.5 out of 5

  Customer review: “This full-size daybed is the perfect size to fit into a small bedroom, not to mention how light and airy it makes the bedroom feel. Was skeptical at first to buy since it did need to be put together, but loved this piece from the first time I saw it, so I took the plunge. The daybeds I’ve seen in the stores cannot compare to the style and price of this little gem! Have never been happier with my decision!” —Terri

• Harriet Bee Edrock Solid Wood Daybed

  Sizes available: Twin and full

  Star rating: 4.3 out of 5

  Customer review: “I was looking for a twin bed frame that would allow me to condense my current bedroom down to the essentials. I’m planning on getting rid of my dresser and using the hatch space for out-of-season clothes storage. The assembly only took about two hours to do myself. The directions were good, and all the necessary parts came with the materials.” —Dominique

• Living Spaces Riley Greystone Queen Panel Bed With Storage and USB

  This elegant bed frame has no shortage of rave reviews, and it's easy to understand why. Not only is it a beautiful frame, it was designed with functionality in mind: In addition to the duo of storage drawers at the foot of the bed, it's also got USB outlets on each side of the headboard. Talk about useful.

  This bed is available with and without drawers, but we don't know why anyone would want to pass on such a great feature. If you want to deck out your room in the complete set, you've got options: the Riley Greystone line features matching end tables, dressers, and mirror. Living Spaces offers free shipping on all purchases, but you can also upgrade to full service delivery for $119–that includes the very convenient unboxing and assembly of all the items in your order.

  Sizes available: Queen, California King, and Eastern king

  Star rating: 4.6 out of 5

  Customer review: “The No. 1 reason we purchased this bed frame was how sturdy the frame construction is. The look is sleek and not too trendy, and the color is great in person. However, this frame's features have made all the difference. My husband and I absolutely love the USB outlets on each side of the headboard. It was simple to plug the frame into the wall, and now we have a great power source and the cord is ALWAYS long enough. The storage drawers are also very handy—they're the perfect size for storing extra blankets for my side of the bed. We are very happy with our purchase, and we liked it so much we got the whole set!” —Shepski
