It is easy to choose a bed with drawers that is good in quality and attractive in appearance if you know all its advantages and disadvantages.

The nuances of the model

Many furniture stores present such multifunctional furniture as a bed with drawers to the attention of customers. This is not an ordinary bed, as its frame is made of wood and is equipped with one, two or more drawers, each of which is located at the base of the bed, and goes outside thanks to the equipment with special rails. This design allows the compartments to move silently, smoothly. Such a design solution is designed to store all kinds of things. For example, it is quite convenient to place linens, decorative pillows, a winter blanket in the summer, and a bedspread in the drawers. Such elements can have different sizes, additional decorations, but in general they are great for small-sized residential premises.

An important advantage of such furnishings is the absence of dust in the space under them, because it is filled with drawers. Although on the other hand, this fact complicates the process of airing the bottom of the mattress, which is not very good. Another feature of such interior items is the fact that they will only have to place such a product close to the wall with the headboard and not at the adjoining wall, but in the middle of the room, because to open the drawers you need free space.

To get the most roomy bed model, you can choose the option with several tiers of drawers. They can comfortably accommodate not only bedding, but also personal items. If you carefully consider the layout of a room with a similar piece of furniture, it will certainly be filled with comfort, an atmosphere conducive to relaxation.

Box layout options

Many modifications of the legged bed with storage boxes can be found today in furniture stores. Models differ in the nature of the arrangement of the boxes. This factor largely determines how convenient the way to access things in the compartments is, therefore, must be taken into account when choosing. But which model is the most comfortable and practical? Let's try to figure it out. The drawer for laundry can be located in different ways, which will determine in many respects the level of its functionality, as well as the attractiveness of furniture.Here are a few common examples:

• at the end of the bed - in this case, the compartments have hinged covers on top, and do not extend out from under the bed;
• drawers are placed on both sides under the bed. Then the box for things under the bed drives in completely, and the furniture takes a holistic look. The model in which the compartments are equipped with mortise handles looks especially harmonious;
• linen boxes are located in a straight line on the side panels of the bed. The level of spaciousness of this design will be quite low, since the boxes do not fill the entire under-bed space.

Also note that different models may have a different number of linen compartments. The most popular options are those with two wide drawers located on both sides of the bed, as well as models with four drawers of the same plan. Some models for storing items do not have drawers, but special niche shelves.

On the sides

At the end

When planning the space of a room with such an interior item, it is important to remember the advice of experienced specialists:

• when adjoining a sleeping bed to a wall surface with a lateral part, the person’s access to one of the sides of the bed is limited. This means that using boxes from this side will be impossible. Just pick up the option with compartments only on the free side of the structure;
• if drawers are placed at the end of the product, leave space in front of the bed. Otherwise, it will be impossible to open the box;
• if other items of furniture are located next to the berth, it is worth using a construction with a box under the sleeping place.

Functions and Features

A bed with storage boxes is an excellent alternative to long-boring sofas, chairs with a transformation mechanism. Such furniture copes with several functions at once:

In other words, beds with drawers are a kind of transformation of a conventional walk-in closet with drawers and a comfortable sleeping bed for rest and sleep.

Dimensions and parameters

The choice of a bed with storage boxes must be carried out taking into account the growth and number of users. Do not lose sight of such a factor as the free area in the room, be sure to determine its size using construction tape. Often manufacturers offer standard options for such furniture of certain sizes, but if desired, you can make a model with a non-standard width, height or length.

Remember, a bed with drawers will always be larger than its sleeping bed. Indeed, often people confuse these concepts and acquire a model that is not quite suitable in size in the house.

Often the standard length of a berth is 2 m, but you can find models whose berth is 1.90, 1.95 or 2.20 m in length. The width of a berth can be different. Consider the three categories of this parameter in the following table.

To determine the actual length of the bed for a particular person, you can use the following formula. Add another 10-15 cm to the user's height. This will be enough for a comfortable sleep. In order to determine the comfortable width of the bed, you can lie on the bed, fold your palms on your chest, with your elbows out to the side. If they do not hang down, the berth is wide enough, so it will be comfortable to sleep on it.

An important parameter such as the height of the frame model. It will be slightly larger than the height of the drawer, and the last parameter will determine the level of capacity of the storage compartment.

• 20-30 cm are optimal for young people, but in no way suitable for an elderly person with joint diseases, obese weight. To get up from such a piece of furniture will be somewhat difficult, and the box itself will not be spacious enough. But visually the bed with drawers for storage and a low frame will look compact;
