Storage king size beds are one of the best kept secrets of the minimalist aficionado and those with a mind for the practical and the comfortable. Looking at a storage bed from any angle shows no signs of the incredibly clever mechanism underneath. Mechanism may be too grand a word for a rising platform but after spending time lately in some of the top bedroom furniture showrooms; grand is a rather fitting description.

The idea behind a storage bed is quite simply one of practicality. You can fill your bedroom with cupboards and chests and cabinets, or you can take advantage of some of the glorious European king size beds that are on offer today, which also have built in an unnoticeable storage space underneath. In actual fact, storage beds are no different in appearance than most beds that are more than a foot tall. The only difference is that the designers have been clever enough to design the mattress support of the bed to rise up; giving access to all the extra space underneath that would otherwise go to waste.

Think about a regular bed for a moment. It takes up more space than any other item in the room, yet you still can't make use of the space in any other way than lying on it. Sure, that is the purpose of the bed... but you've surely heard of the Spork? A bad example perhaps, but the idea is simple; why can't one item have more than one use? Your alternatives to a king size storage bed are to either buy one of the regular king size beds and a set of bulky cupboards and a chest of drawers, or store nothing in the room at all. This might be fitting for some, but for most, that extra four square metres can really come in handy.

Although there are some beautiful storage solutions on the traditional and contemporary European furniture market today, storage beds are the ideal furnishing for smaller rooms, or rooms that beg to have more freedom and flow to them. It isn't like lifting the mattress platform is particularly difficult anymore either. Brands like Costantini from Italy ensure that the mechanism requires next to no effort to use, even for a person of a slighter frame such as your humble author. What's even better is that these king size beds provide a storage space that's completely untouched by dust and other muck that can find its way into your home.

You don't even have to tell people it's a storage bed. They'll never know the difference and you can hide a whole host of items and other precious artefacts inside. Kids always look for their Christmas presents under the bed, but never would they think to look in the bed. For added security, just take a lie in! So once again, for the minimalist, or for the savvy practical mind, storage king size beds could be just the thing you've been looking for.
