Your bedroom isn’t too small, you just need one of these storage beds

Best storage bed overall:

Frankly, there’s none more deserving of the top spot on our list than Castlery’s dreamy Camille storage bed. Wrapped in a luxurious layer of knit velvet, this plush design hugs your mattress with soft, curved edges, all whilst concealing up to 50 kgs of internal storage. Whether you’re tucking away blankets, duvets, clothes or any other bulky item you’d rather keep out of sight, the Camille makes it easy.

Home Beautiful’s Shopping Editor, Paris Blanchfield, claims, “This particular storage bed has been on my own to-buy list for a while now. Despite the generous amount of inner storage, the design doesn’t feel too raised (which is a big consideration for me, as my tiny dog often tries jumping on and off the bed), and the price is surprisingly reasonable for something that looks of such high quality. Rest assured, when I do commit, you’ll get a full review of just how much storage it can really hold.”

Best storage bed with drawers:

If you’re looking for a versatile storage bed that can be easily woven in with any style of interiors, Ecosa’s Sierra Storage Bed frame might just be your perfect fit. Featuring double cushions at the headboard for extra comfort, this bed comes with four drawers of built-in underbed storage to store your linens, spare clothing or books. Better yet, the 100% polyester cushion covers are removable and washable for easy maintenance and longevity.

One five-star review on the Sierra storage bed states: “I love my new bed. The bed frame is lovely and really cosy looking with the cushions. I love that they can be removed for washing. The storage drawers are great too; I use them as shoe drawers, which works great.”

Best gas lift storage bed:

The Willow proves that practical storage doesn’t have to come at the expense of style. Upholstered in a soft, textured Tribute fabric, its clean-lined design gives the bedroom a polished, contemporary feel, while the smooth gas-lift mechanism reveals a spacious compartment beneath the mattress. The removable cover is another thoughtful touch, making this a particularly versatile choice for a bedroom that’s designed to look good and work even harder.

Best storage bed under $500:

While storage beds are an undeniably practical buy, they often come with a hefty price tag. If you want to protect your budget whilst still reaping the benefits of extra storage space, the Seraphine Gas Lift Bed from Living Fusion, priced at just $454, ticks every box. Its softly curved, arched headboard and plush bouclé upholstery bring a luxe feel to the bedroom, while the gas-lift base opens up generous space for storing all of those harder-to-hide household extras.

Transparently, we were a little sceptical of whether the product images used for the Seraphine were AI-generated or heavily edited, but after a quick browse of the customer uploads and raving review section, we feel totally confident that this model is everything it claims to be. Translation: it’s just a really good deal on a very nice bed.

Best storage bed for small spaces:

For those who live in smaller homes and need a little flexibility, the Miyo Build-Your-Own Bed lets you customise your setup from the ground up. Choose your headboard style, fabric, extensions and storage option, including a gas-lift base that turns the space beneath your mattress into a handy hidden cupboard.

Better yet, its modular design also means you can refresh individual elements over time, making this one bed frame that can evolve with your style.

Best storage bed for kids:

A clever pick for kids’ and teens’ bedrooms, the Charley combines a compact king-single footprint with built-in storage to help keep clutter under control. The sage green finish adds a playful pop of colour without overwhelming the room, while the integrated storage makes it easy to tuck away bedding, clothes, books and toys. It’s a practical choice when bedroom floor space is at a premium (which it almost always is when kids are around).

Best storage bed with washable upholstery:

Eva’s team describes the Delve bed frame as “Australia’s first fabric bed you can finally keep clean,” and if that isn’t enough of a reason to invest, we don’t know what is. The lush chenille and chunky weave upholstery is the hero of this storage bed, and it’s completely machine-washable in case of accidental spills. Better yet, this luxury design has four door panels that you can lift open for storage (but note that drawers will need to be purchased individually).

“This bed is divine!” described one five-star review. “We wish we could just sleep all the time now; bedtime is an absolute pleasure. It took us a while to set up, but the bed is so incredibly sturdy and really hit every single thing we needed and wanted in a bed. Can’t wait to order more colourways!”

Best bunk bed with storage:

When floor space is limited, the Kourtney triple bunk makes every centimetre count. Designed to sleep three, this clever hardwood frame also incorporates built-in drawers for stashing toys, clothes or spare bedding. Its fresh white finish keeps the look feeling bright and timeless, making it a practical option for shared kids’ rooms, growing families or a guest space that needs to accomodate a little extra ‘stuff’.

Best low profile storage bed:

Equal parts statement bed and storage solution, the Arlo brings a sculptural touch to the bedroom with its softly curved upholstered headboard and calming green finish. Lift the mattress to reveal generous hidden storage, ideal for bedding, linens and seasonal essentials, while the plush fabric upholstery adds warmth and softness. It’s proof that a hardworking storage bed can still be a hero piece in your bedroom.
