Choosing the Right Drawer Configuration
Drawer layout matters more than you’d think:
- Side Drawers: These are perfect if your bed has open space on both sides. You can slide them out easily without moving anything around. Great for everyday use.
- End Drawers: Ideal when your bed is placed between walls or in tight spaces. The drawers pull out from the foot of the bed, making them more practical in narrow rooms.
- 2 Drawer vs 4 Drawer Beds: A 2-drawer bed works well in smaller spaces or if you only need light storage. But if you've got extra things — like seasonal bedding or guest linens — a 4-drawer option gives you double the space without needing extra furniture.
