Why waste that space under your bed? For a sleek storage option in the bedroom, choose a platform bed that offers drawer space as well as a place to sleep.
Inexpensive platform storage beds are available from the following online retail sites. All but IKEA will ship to your home, and some of these stores offer inexpensive or free shipping on furniture.
Numerous retailers offer the Full or Double Platform Storage Bed online, but Overstock.com sells it at one of the lowest prices available: $399.99 (Shipping is $2.95). A sleek modern design (see photo below) marries function to form in this platform bed with six 19-inch-deep drawers. Made of composite wood and medium-density fiberboard, the bed features slats that run lengthwise to distribute body weight evenly.

Storage beds at the same price at Overstock.com are also available in cherry and espresso finishes, although the drawers differ slightly. Significant assembly required.

Target sells a Locker Twin Bed with Three Drawers made of durable metal and with a choice of drawer colors. Use with a twin mattress (no box spring needed).
