When I moved from Alabama to NYC, I knew that space in my apartment would be limited (read: small). But, boy, did I underestimate how much space my queen-sized bed frame would take up. I mean, everything had to be down-sized—my dresser, my desk, and yes, even my physical closet space. But, when it came to actually downsizing the clothes and shoes that went inside said closet? Yeah, sorry, that wasn't happening. That's when I knew it was time to upgrade my bed. Not only did it take up the most space, but honestly, I was tired of looking at the stack of clothes growing in my chair. Enter stage right: the handy-dandy storage bed.

I know you're wondering why I didn't think of this sooner (because, same), but sometimes the most obvious answers are hidden in plain sight. Storage beds are the perfect solution whether you're dealing with a v cramped space or just want some Marie Kondo-level organization in your life. Thankfully, after doing some TikTok scrolling and Pinterest digging, I found bed frames that 1) act as extra storage and 2) still look so chic. From luxe platform beds with discrete drawers to beds that lift up to reveal allll that hidden underbed space, a storage bed is the one of the best pieces of space-saving furniture you can invest in, IMO.

Below, I've rounded up 11 of the best storage beds to shop right now. Whether you need to stow away linens, clothes, shoes, decorations, etc., knowing that all of your junk belongings have a place will make catching some ZZZ's even easier.

Here's an option for those looking for more space without spending tons of $$$. This bed frame has nine (!!) built-in compartments that come with matching storage bins underneath—ya know, for your books, shoes, hair products, etc. Plus, it's super minimal and doesn't require a box spring so it's versatile enough even when moving between homes/rooms.

Glowing Editor Review: "As a broke girlie, I approve of this Amazon storage frame I've had for ages. It's survived multiple moves and has space for everything. While they don't advertise the central compartment as being a storage area, I definitely use it as one," raves Commerce Writer Sarah Maberry.

This Castlery linen bed frame is a major bedroom upgrade and gives "yes, I'm an adult" vibes, largely thanks to that wingback headboard. With three spacious storage drawers—two on the side and one at the foot of the bed—this frame is not only functional, but a Pinterest-worthy addition to your room. Plus, the frame's soft fabric makes for a luxuriously cozy night's sleep.

Glowing Customer Review: "I recently purchased the Dalton Storage Bed from Castlery, and I am beyond impressed with both its design and functionality. The bed’s cozy & modern look adds a sophisticated touch to my bedroom, while its sturdy construction ensures durability. What really sets it apart is the ample storage space–the drawers are spacious and glide smoothly, making it easy to store extra bedding and seasonal clothes."

Tested and vetted by Lifestyle Editor Hannah Chubb, this super luxe storage bed will not only transform your apartment, but probably your life (no, I'm not being dramatic). With a fluffy, plush appearance and padded headboard, it truly does live up to its name. Perfect for those who like the look of a low profile bed, this stunning frame is crafted with a hydraulic lift mechanism that lifts your mattress up to reveal soooo much underbed storage.

Glowing Editor Review: "If you’ve been meaning to invest in your sleep/home/life, you simply can’t go wrong with this bed," says Hannah. "It’ll cost you a pretty penny, but can you really put a price on comfort? My bedroom is truly so much more organized now that I have this bad boy, and it’s so chic, it honestly looks like a whole new room."

How stylish is this adorable Amazon find? Available in this muted blush pink and a light gray, this upholstered platform bed boasts impressively spacious drawers—four to be exact—on each side. The modern yet simple design instantly makes your bed the focal point of your bedroom. Thankfully, reviewers note that it's a fairly easy assembly process, so you can have not only extra storage but an aesthetic AF bed in no time.

Glowing Customer Review: "I was SO nervous to order this bed frame...but after a couple nights of use: I love it. It looks so nice in the space. The velvet is nice quality and doesn’t look or feel cheap. The drawers are HUGE and add lots of storage to our small bedroom."

Murphy beds are a major cheat code for maximizing your floorspace. Now add a storage unit of five shelves (three of which are adjustable) and you've got yourself the ultimate space-saving bed frame. When folded up, this option looks like a simple ol' cabinet, but it easily folds down to reveal a bed. Just make sure the mattress is 12 inches thick or less so it can fully fold up against the wall seamlessly. Glowing Customer Review: "This is absolutely beautiful and so well-made. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. My husband put this together with me assisting in about 5 hours. We got a foam bed in a box, and I slept on it the first night to try it out. It is very comfortable."

Oftentimes, the best storage beds don't even look like they have storage. This chic find is the perfect example—like, you'd seriously never know there were drawers on each side if this wasn't a piece dedicated solely to storage beds. From storing your seasonal clothes to stacking linens, these roomy drawers are v useful. I especially love the simple mid-century modern design that works with any kind of aesthetic.

Glowing Customer Review: "Love it! It’s so simple and has so much storage underneath, and that’s what I needed! Definitely recommend it if you need extra storage space!"

Well, well, well. If it isn't the bed of my linen dreams! Timeless and oh-so-chic, this Castlery bed is not only gorgeous, but functional. The thing about platform beds like this one is that it takes up so much floor space with absolutely zero underbed storage...except this stunner. The bed seamlessly lifts to reveal an ample amount of underbed storage—perfect for suitcases, linens, and everything else you want to keep out of sight.

Glowing Customer Review: "We love the aesthetics of the bed. It has a hint of luxury while maintaining its minimalistic vibe. We mainly got it for future babies and children so that they can sleep with us without worrying about them falling off. We feel like we get more value from the price! Affordable and beautiful."

If it's cozy vibes that you're looking for, then it's cozy vibes that you're gonna get with this elegant storage bed. While I absolutely love this gray color, it's also available in a classic black velvet version. But, my fave parts include the tufted headboard that adds some cushion for your back and—ofc—its four roomy drawers that really give ya more bang for your buck.

Glowing Customer Review: "I love our new bed! It looks so beautiful and elegant. The storage is awesome... I wasn’t expecting the drawers to be as big as they are so it was a very good surprise!"

Available in this deep walnut finish as well as a chic oak wood, this classic frame instantly elevates a room. At the foot of the low-profile frame sit two concealed (and soft-close!) drawers to discreetly store all that extra clutter. And—while the frame doesn't come with a headboard as pictured—Article offers both the frame and plush headboard as a separate bundle that's perfect for a minimalist space.

Glowing Customer Review: "I have the Pactera Oak Queen Storage Bed, and it has exceeded my expectations. The quality is outstanding, with a sturdy frame and a design that blends beautifully with my bedroom decor. Assembly was easy and straightforward, which I appreciated. Overall, I’m very happy with my bed and highly recommend it to anyone looking for both comfort and style! "

If you have a ton of things that you 100 percent need but don't actually reach for that often, consider this bed with storage underneath. Complete with a hydraulic system that lets you lift your mattress, this lift up storage bed is truly a steal at less than $300. Plus, the linen upholstery (which comes in seven shades) will have everyone convinced it cost ya way more than it actually did.

Glowing Customer Review: "To be honest, I didn’t expect much from this purchase, but the bed frame way exceeded my expectations! It was easy to assemble, it’s very sturdy, and there is plenty of room under the bed. The lifting mechanism is strong enough not to worry when it’s lifted, but can be a little hard to open the first couple times. Great for its money! I love the color and the texture of the fabric."

Great for guest rooms, small spaces, and kids' rooms, this storage bed (which comes in five colors) is super versatile. Let it be your cozy lil reading nook or a place to accommodate overnight guests. Either way, the sleek and modern design will be an easy addition to any room. Designed with two underbed drawers, hiding away linens, toys, and just about anything else has never been easier.

Glowing Customer Review: "Love this bed! Very easy to put together and goes perfectly in my guest room. The drawers underneath are an added bonus to store extra bedding, toys, etc."
