What to Consider

When you're buying a storage bed frame, it's tempting to put style as the top priority, but you'll also want to make sure that the storage it provides will work for your bedroom. Note how many storage drawers there are and how they are oriented, and make sure that you won't run into problems opening them by measuring your floor space before you buy. It's also worth noting that the storage bed frames in this guide are all platform-style, which means that you don't need to get a box spring for them. They already have a secure foundation .

Finally, check to make sure whether assembly is required. If so, you'll need to consider how to transport the bed frame into your bedroom and how you'll put it together. We took reviewers' experience with assembling these into consideration, but a few brands offer white-glove assembly, which we've noted below.

Available in a wide range of aesthetics, drawer options, and budgets, here are 10 storage beds that master the art of built-in organization.
