50 Innovative Storage Beds You Need to Have
In recent years, we seemed to have found a new love for multifunctional furniture. Understandably so as it would help us preserve space and save some money. You can point at just about every piece of furniture in your home and find one that has multiple uses.
This is no different for beds. Storage beds are becoming an increasingly popular thing. With the combination of comfort and functionality, these storage beds are perfect if you need additional storage or if you are short on bedroom space for a separate storage unit.
Storage beds come in various stylish designs so you won’t ever have to worry about them looking out of place or ruining the aesthetics of your room.
Is it good to sleep on a storage bed?
Yes! Since storage beds are built to have drawers or additional storage space, their structural integrity is guaranteed to be firm. These drawers, for example, can lend weight to the frame of your bed. In fact, storage beds are great for mattress stability which prevents accidents and makes sleep better.
Sleep experts even recommend pairing your storage bed with a latex mattress to maintain the natural alignment of your spine.
What should you not put in a storage bed?
As storage beds offer you additional storing space, you may be tempted to just store away anything you want in your bed’s built-in storage. However, that shouldn’t be the case! Experts say that you should only use these additional storage spaces for sleep-related items and that unrelated articles can hinder sleep.
But what exactly are the things you should not store in a storage bed?
1. Empty suitcases
Not only are they bulky, but storing empty suitcases just isn’t practical when you can make use of them as well to store other things.
2. Bulky out-of-season clothes
Bulky seasonal clothes should not be stored here. You can get less or not bulky seasonal clothes that fit in.
3. Things used daily
It doesn’t make any sense to put things you need to use daily even though most storage bed drawers are easily accessible. For ottoman-style storage beds, it would be such a hassle to lift the top every day. That’s what your regular wardrobes should be for.
4. Anything you feel that needs to be stored or isn’t labeled
Now, some people might take this opportunity to store just about anything in their storage bed drawers just in case you’ll need it. Chances are you’ll forget all about them. The built-in storage in your bed is not made for you to hoard things you’ll probably never even use or need!
How do you clean under a storage bed?
Cleaning under storage beds is quite the challenge. Most storage beds are low in design so there isn’t much space underneath that will allow you to use a broom or vacuum to clean. If your storage bed has feet, cleaning underneath it would be easy.
For the opposite, there are some creative ways you can do to clean underneath your storage bed. You can use one of those small robot vacuum cleaners. Or an electrostatic mop with a long stick to it to reach farther spots. More creatively, you can use a hair dryer to push out the dust out under the bed.
But every now and then, you must thoroughly clean under the bed and the simple methods mentioned are not enough. So, you are going to have to disassemble the bed 3-4 times a year. This is also a good way to ventilate both the lower compartment and mattress. Remember that you also must clean the bed frame underneath to remove dust and mold. You can use water and vinegar with a soft cloth and liquid sponge to disinfect the inside.
