Single beds with drawers

In small apartments, the problem of rational distribution of space is not uncommon. Single beds with drawers help solve this issue. They successfully combines a comfortable place to sleep and a storage system.

Features and benefits

Beds with drawers are increasingly being used as practical furniture. They help maintain order in the house, save space and at the same time look aesthetically pleasing.

Single models are designed for one person. This option is ideal for someone who lives alone, but wants to sleep not on the sofa, but on a full bed with an orthopedic mattress. Often such furniture is purchased for both children and teenagers.

Beds with a lifting mechanism allow you to keep blankets, pillows, bed linen in the inner compartment. In the daytime, the bed looks tidy, and the lack of linen on it allows you to appreciate the beauty of furniture design. This is especially important in studio apartments, where the bedroom is also a living room.

If you have a separate bedroom, you can leave your linen on the bed, just by covering it with a bedspread. In this case, the inner box can be used to store blankets, extra bedding and other things.

Beds with drawers are equally popular. The main difference from the lifting mechanisms here is the ability to get things out of the box without lifting the mattress and not disturbing the person resting on the bed.

Unlike the inner box, which is completely invisible, the side drawers are visible to the naked eye. However, this does not spoil the look of the furniture. On the contrary, additional details give the bed an original look and a special personality.

Depending on the size of the boxes, you can place not only bed linen, but also other things in them. With a shortage of free space, such a storage place can be used as a dresser. In the children's room, drawers will be useful for toys and stationery. Adults can store clothes in them.

The only nuance that should be considered before buying such a model is the availability of free space next to the bed.As a rule, beds with drawers are used in small apartments, small bedrooms. The boxes are located in the lower part of the product, being its continuation and do not require additional space when closed.

However, in order to fully open the drawer and get the contents out of it, you must have enough space at the side of the bed. When calculating it is necessary to take into account the size of the box in the extended state, plus 25-30 cm for the location of the person himself, getting things.

If the room does not allow to meet this condition, then it will be extremely inconvenient to open the boxes. In this case, it is better to make a choice in favor of a bed with a lifting mechanism.
