If you ever looked around your bedroom and thought there has to be a better way to store all this stuff
0:05
then this video is for you. Closets fill up fast and dressers can only hold so much
0:11
And one way to get your space back is with a storage bed. So after doing some digging and going over reviews
0:17
I found the 10 best storage beds worth checking out. And if you find something you like
0:21
I'll leave links to all the storage beds in the description below. First up is the Aelwe Lift Up Bed
0:27
which I ranked as the best budget storage bed. And this one is pretty simple. You just lift the mattress platform up and you get tons of open space
0:36
And this works because of its hydraulic system which makes it easy to lift up
0:40
Now you can store extra things like blankets, clothes, shoes, whatever you want
0:45
And the wingback headboard gives it a look that feels a lot more expensive than it actually is
0:50
Now you can also choose different color options so it matches your room. And you can choose between a modern look which is pretty flat with some vertical lines
0:58
along with the headboard or a traditional style which has tufting all over. But of course this
1:04
isn't perfect considering it is a budget model after all. And one of the things buyers mention
1:09
over and over again is that assembly is a pain. It can take a while and instructions aren't the
1:15
best but at least it's build it once and forget about it type of furniture. So if you're just
1:20
looking to amp up your storage in your bedroom without paying a fortune then you'll love the
1:24
Elwe lift bed. Next up is the IKEA Sonsend, which I ranked as the best value bed on this list
1:32
Now it's no surprise that IKEA shows up here, and that's because their furniture just works
1:37
You get a clean design that doesn't set you back too much price-wise, and this comes with four
1:41
storage boxes that slide out from under the bed. Now one of them has one drawer space, and the other
1:47
has two spaces, so you can separate your clothes or whatever you decide to put in them. And IKEA
1:52
also lets you customize this a bit by giving you options for a brown or white color and you can also
1:57
choose between the slated bed base and the bed size. Now assembly is where it'll get frustrating
2:03
but that's kind of expected and it'll definitely go quicker if you have a second person to help
2:08
But besides that there have been some complaints that the wooden slats can pop out of place over
2:13
time and if you have dealt with creaking after a while. But if you've been an Ikea fan for a while
2:18
and are just looking for a good value for a storage bed then you can go wrong with this one Up next is the 17 stories Antioch storage bed which I ranked as the best with a charging station
2:30
Now this bed is more than just its charging station, but it's a good distinguishing feature
2:35
from the others on this list. But before going over the tech, let's go over some other things
2:39
first. Now the storage comes from its two drawers, and you can put these on each side or both on one
2:45
side and this is pretty convenient especially if your bed is leaned up
2:49
against the wall. There's also a headboard that's like no other. You get
2:53
three cubbies, two storage bins on the side, and a large shelf on top and this
2:58
is where the tech comes in. Each cubby has LED lights that when lit can make
3:03
your bedroom feel much cozier and there's also a charging station there so
3:07
now you can just plug your phone in and place it in the cubby to charge overnight. Now the only options you get here are size and color but that should be plenty
3:15
since this already comes with a ton, but it doesn't come without its flaws. The drawers have wheels at
3:20
the bottom to roll out, but they don't roll as smoothly. But some WD-40 can probably help with
3:26
that. So if a charging station is on your list of must-haves in a storage bed, then you won't be
3:31
disappointed with this one from Antioch. Next is the Gracie Oaks Wilkinson, which I ranked as the
3:37
best Murphy bed. And this one's a little different from everything else. When it's folded up, it looks
3:42
like a dresser cabinet and when you need it, it rolls out into a full bed. So this is what you get
3:47
when you want a multi-purpose room. But besides that, you do actually get some drawers at the
3:53
bottom. Now it only may be two, but that's still worthwhile because of how little space this Murphy
3:57
bed actually takes up. And there's even a charging station on the side so you won't have to reach
4:02
towards the wall when trying to charge your phone. And that barn door detail also adds a nice farmhouse
4:07
style. So it looks good and is functional. So what's the catch? Just like the other storage beds
4:12
on this list, assembly will be a pain especially because there's rolling parts. And also make sure
4:18
you get the right mattress for this one that actually folds. Otherwise it's going to be
4:22
awkward trying to close this in the cabinet. But if you need a bed that disappears when you don't
4:27
need it, then the Gracie Oaks Wilkinson is the best option for that. Up next is the Article Kyra
4:33
which I ranked as the best modern design, and it earns this spot because of its uniqueness
4:38
Now it's definitely not for everyone, but for those who like something more modern this is it It got a curved sculpted headboard wrapped in a soft boucle fabric that makes it stand out from pretty much every other bed on this list But you still get functionality and
4:53
not just looks. It comes with four storage drawers built into the sides and the fabric is tested to
4:58
hold up well over time and a lot of buyers have said that the drawers are bigger than they expected
5:03
which is always a good thing. It feels well built once it's put together too. Now the catch is the
5:09
price. It's one of the more pricier options on this list, so if you're on a
5:13
tight budget then you should probably skip this one. But if budget isn't the
5:17
biggest concern and you want a bed that looks good as good as it is functional
5:20
then the Kairos hard to argue with. Next up is the IKEA Slate which I
5:26
ranked as the best storage bed for teens. And here's another one from IKEA, but
5:30
this one was actually designed with kids and teenagers in mind. They did their
5:34
research to find out what they actually want and this is what came out of it
5:38
You get four drawers underneath, a small shelf section, and rounded edges so there's nothing sharp to worry about
5:45
And it's also modular, so you can add pieces to it over time, like a pullout bed underneath for sleepovers
5:51
And this is a twin size, so it fits well in smaller bedrooms. And it's pretty much got everything that your kid could need
5:57
But there are some things that might get annoying. For starters, the slats can be a bit noisy if there's movement at night, but you might just want to tighten some things down
6:06
And if all you're looking for is something that works well for a kid's room, then you can't go wrong with this one
6:11
And if you want to check any of these storage beds out, I put links to all of them in the description below
6:17
Up next is the Latitude Run Cheryl, which I ranked as the best complete set
6:21
And this one is like the Antioch we talked about earlier, except it has even more. This one comes loaded
6:27
It has cubbies not only by the headboard, but also by the footboard in the front of the bed
6:32
So you have twice as much space to put things neatly. There's also LED lights on both sections and let's not forget about the charging station
6:40
That stays on the top part. And it pretty much has everything but it still is missing some drawers at the bottom
6:45
You do have space for them on each side but those would have to be bought separately
6:49
Now the body is made from a wood grain finish that looks nice when finely put together
6:54
And a lot of buyers agree on that. But what they also agree on is that the assembly is tricky
6:59
There's a lot of parts so make sure you don't lose any. So if you're after a bed that has a bit of everything, then you'll love this Latitude
7:06
Run Cheryl Next is the Cassowary Dalton which I ranked as the best simple And it got a clean windback headboard soft fabric and three drawers that sit on rollers right on the floor
7:18
And unlike other storage beds on this list, these drawers have one on each side and a long one at the foot of the bed
7:24
And they aren't attached to the frame, which sounds odd, but it actually makes moving the bed a lot easier later on
7:30
Plus a lot of buyers said it feels really solid and well built. Now the drawers close smoothly too, but you will be paying for this
7:37
considering it's one of the pricier options on this list. But if you're after something clean and functional, then the Dalton's a great pick
7:45
Up next is the Solid Custom Heirlooms Captain Bed, which I ranked as the best wooden
7:50
And if craftsmanship is your top priority, then this bed takes the cake
7:53
It's handmade in the US from solid hardwood, and you can customize it pretty much however you want
7:58
We're talking up to 12 drawers, a storage headboard, and a cabinet at the foot of the bed
8:03
And if you want storage, these things got it covered at every angle. And of course, you can choose your wood type from seven different options
8:11
And because it's custom made, the quality is on another level compared to most beds you'll find online
8:16
Real solid wood, not particle board or veneers. And a lot of buyers have called it an heirloom quality, meaning it's the kind of bed that lasts decades
8:24
And the price reflects that. It's one of the most expensive options on this list, but you get what you pay for
8:31
And if you want something by tomorrow, then this isn't the bet you get
8:35
Lead times can be long since it's made to order, but if top notch quality is what you
8:39
want, then look no further than the solid custom heirlooms captain bed
8:44
Finally at number 1 is the Satava Halley, which I ranked as the best lift up bed
8:49
And the reason this one got this spot is for its simplicity and reputation
8:53
Satava has an A-plus Better Business Bureau rating, which is the highest it can get
8:57
And the reviews back it up too, with the majority of customers recommending this brand to family
9:02
and friends. Now onto the bed itself. When you lift up the top, it reveals a space that's split into two sections with a divider
9:08
So now you can keep things like comforters, pillows, and winter clothes more organized
9:13
You get several color options for the velvet outside and three bed sizes
9:18
So if you're after something low-key and just works well, then you can't go wrong with the satavahali
9:24
And that's all for today. I hope this list helped you choose the perfect storage bed
9:28
