Choosing a storage bed means first and foremost opting for a combination of optimized storage, comfortable bedding, and stylish bedroom design. In an era where space is at a premium, a storage bed frees up room while maintaining a high-quality sleeping surface. In a bedroom, one of the most visible and defining elements is the bedding: the frame, the base, the mattress, the pillow, and the linens. The storage bed enhances this range by also offering a large storage space beneath your mattress.
With a good mattress placed on a storage bed base, you get a complete bedding solution: support, comfort, aesthetics, and I would even say everyday ergonomics. Whether it's for storing your winter duvet, bed linens, heavy pillows, or suitcases, a well-designed storage bed will simplify your life. In this article, we explore the different types of storage beds, how to choose one, the opening mechanisms, the finishes, and why the Sampur collection is particularly relevant.
A storage bed is a bed where the frame incorporates a "storage compartment" or storage space under the bed base, accessible via an opening mechanism (gas springs, motor, etc.). This compartment can hold pillows, duvets, linens, suitcases, and much more. It is therefore referred to as a "storage bed base" or "storage bed frame."
When choosing a storage bed, several bedding and layout criteria must be considered:
Bed size : determine the size of the room, your sleeping habits (single, double, couple).
Storage capacity : the larger the size, the more usable liters the trunk can hold. At Sampur , we are among those offering the largest trunks, with a storage capacity of up to 900 L.
Type of opening : Is it a standard (vertical) opening? Or a more ergonomic "parallel opening" model for easy bed making? Or perhaps a motorized electric opening?
Bedding quality : make sure that the bed base and mattress are compatible, that the bed suspension meets your expectations (firmness, posture, support).
Upholstery and finish : looped textile, fabric, corduroy, imitation leather; the aesthetics of the bedding are as important as the storage function.
Budget and delivery/installation : Some storage beds require assembly or special installation (mechanism, gas springs); in some cases, delivery may be more expensive. Our storage beds are easy to assemble, although we also offer premium delivery for those who want a hassle-free experience.
Daily use : if you need to access the trunk very often, a smooth mechanism (gas struts, side opening or motorized) is preferable.
By sorting according to these criteria, you will be able to choose the model that truly suits your needs and your room.
We can distinguish three main families of storage beds, depending on the opening mechanism:
Storage bed with standard opening, classic vertical lifting (often by pneumatic or spring cylinders).
Storage bed with standard opening + parallel (or side/horizontal opening), allows making the bed easier, more ergonomic, without hurting your back.
Electric (motorized) opening storage bed, maximum comfort, simple opening via remote control.
Each type offers its own advantages: simplicity, ergonomics, luxury. It's important to compare them based on factors such as how often you'll use the trunk and your budget.
The most common model is the standard opening storage bed: the bed base is lifted via jacks or springs, usually at the front of the bed (at the foot or laterally).
Benefits :
Simple, robust and often more affordable mechanism.
Large, accessible storage space.
Compatible with most bedding sizes (140×190, 160×200, etc.).
Disadvantages :
Access may require clearing the top of the bed to lift the bed base.
If the room is narrow, the opening may seem a little cumbersome.
At Sampur, some models advertise a capacity "up to 900 L" for the trunk version.
It offers an excellent balance between comfortable bedding and ample storage.
This version combines a classic opening with a "parallel" (or lateral) function that facilitates access to the storage compartment without clearing the entire surface. The mechanism often allows for opening only one side or provides improved ergonomics for making the bed.
Why choose it?
If you want to make the bed every day and want a side opening that doesn't require emptying the entire top of the bed.
If space around the bed is limited or if you share the bed and want easy access.
This configuration is relevant in the context of high-end bedding, for a well-designed bedroom.
However, it may be more expensive due to the more complex mechanics.
For maximum comfort, the electrically operated storage bed is the gold standard. Using a remote control or a button, the bed base opens effortlessly, often assisted by motorized pistons.
Strengths :
Ultra-ergonomic: perfect for frequent storage or for reducing effort.
High-end design: often associated with premium finishes, king size, luxury fabrics.
Often equipped with a safety mechanism, hydraulic cylinders, etc.
Points to note :
Higher budget.
Requires a power supply or discreet cable.
Thus, in your bedding, an electric storage bed combines the function of sleeping + storage + luxury.
One of the key advantages of a storage bed is its storage capacity. At Sampur, we offer our entire collection of storage beds with storage capacities up to 900L.
Why is this important?
This indicates the available space under the mattress for storing duvets, pillows, bed linen, boxes, suitcases.
The smaller the room, the more this storage capacity becomes a real asset for decluttering. Most storage beds on the market offer between 400 and 700 liters of storage space.
The storage height, structure, and mechanism influence the usable volume (a trunk height of 25 cm or more improves capacity).
Consider not only the capacity but also the accessibility (opening angle, mechanism) and compatibility with your mattress. Our entire Sampur mattress collection is compatible with our storage bed collection.
The finish of the bedding, and more specifically the frame of the storage bed, plays an aesthetic role as well as contributing to visual comfort. Here are some common finishes:
Fabric : classic material, many colours, easy care.
Bouclette : a more "curly" texture, a cozy effect, and a more upscale look.
Corduroy : soft to the touch, stylish look.
Faux leather : leather effect, more "premium", easy to wipe clean.
At Sampur, the frames of the storage beds are available in all these finishes. This allows you to match the bedding to the style of the room.
Thus, your storage bed is not just a functional piece of furniture, but a decorative element in your bedroom.
For even more design, we offer a collection of storage beds with headboards .
A storage bed isn't everything: the quality of the bedding (bed base + mattress) remains essential for a good night's sleep. Here's what you need to check:
The bed base must be compatible with the storage compartment opening: slats, suspension, and sturdiness. At Sampur, the bed base is integrated into the storage compartment. However, we also offer a complete collection of individual bed bases .
The mattress should be suited to your body type, height, and sleeping habits (foam, memory foam, springs). Make sure the bed frame can accommodate the height of the mattress plus topper without obstructing the opening mechanism.
Sleeping posture : good support, good firmness or adaptability according to your needs (back, couple, child).
Bedding breathability : keep the frame and bed base well ventilated to avoid moisture and dust mites.
High-end bedding should therefore be considered as a whole: bed frame + base + mattress + linens. A well-designed storage bed integrates access to the storage compartment without compromising sleeping comfort.
To ensure your storage bed remains a lasting investment, here are a few tips:
Regularly ventilate the room and lift the bed base to ventilate the storage compartment (avoid humidity).
Change and wash your bed linen, duvets and pillows according to the manufacturer's recommendations (often every 2 weeks for pillowcases and covers).
Check the opening mechanism (cylinders, hinges, motor) and lubricate if necessary (you can use WD40).
Clean the upholstery (fabric, loop pile, imitation leather) with appropriate products. For fabric/loop pile, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment; for imitation leather, use a damp cloth and a specific cleaning product.
Avoid overloading the trunk beyond its stated capacity (liters). Too much weight can weaken the mechanism or deform the base.
In short, maintain your bedding like a premium piece of furniture: it deserves it.
Here is a summary table to compare the three main families:
| Storage bed type | Mechanism | Typical capacity | Key strengths | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard opening | Vertical or lateral lifting via hydraulic cylinders | Up to 900 L | Simplicity, good storage/quality ratio | All spaces, moderate budget |
| Standard opening + parallel | Lifting + side opening makes "making the bed" easier | Similar or slightly superior | Ergonomics, side access | Shared rooms, frequent use |
| Electric (motorized) opening | Remote control + motor | Up to 900 L | Luxury, comfort, very easy access | Premium bedding, for couples, for regular use |
Here are some ideas to optimize your bedroom with a storage bed:
Adult bedroom : opt for a 160×200 or 180×200 storage bed with corduroy or faux leather upholstery, for a "hotel suite" feel.
Space-saving bedroom : a 140×190 storage bed with side opening + light loop fabric maximizes storage while maintaining elegant bedding.
Fabric or contrasting style : combine a fabric-covered storage bed with textile accessories (throws, cushions) for a cozy effect.
Colour and finishes : harmonize the headboard, bedside tables and storage bed covering with a palette of 2-3 colours, for a coherent bedding.
Optimized storage : use the chest for your winter duvets, pillows, suitcases or out-of-season linen – freeing up cupboards.
Lighting & ambiance : consider soft lighting near the head of the bed, and leave sufficient clearance around the bed for the safe to be opened.
In short, a well-chosen and well-positioned storage bed becomes the heart of your bedroom and not just another piece of furniture.
Q1: Is the storage bed suitable for all types of mattresses?
Yes: as long as your mattress is compatible with the frame dimensions and the total height (mattress + topper) does not obstruct the opening of the storage compartment. It is advisable to check compatibility with the frame structure.
Q2: What is the minimum height of the trunk for useful storage?
A storage height of at least 20-25 cm is recommended to effectively hold blankets, pillows, or suitcases. All Sampur storage bed models have a storage height of 25 cm.
Q3: Is motorized opening really useful?
Yes, if you frequently use the storage compartment, have a heavy mattress, or want maximum comfort. Otherwise, a standard opening may suffice. Discover our collection of electric storage beds .
Q4: What type of upholstery should I choose for the bed frame?
It depends on the style of the room: fabric for a soft feel, bouclé for a trendy texture, corduroy for a premium effect, faux leather for a contemporary, designer look. Also choose according to maintenance requirements.
Q5: Does a storage bed take up a lot of space in a bedroom?
It occupies a similar amount of space to a traditional bed, but offers storage under the mattress base. Clearance must be allowed around the opening mechanism (especially for side or motorized opening).
Q6: What is the average budget for a quality storage bed?
The price varies considerably depending on the size, mechanism, finish, and brand. A high-end storage bed with electric opening and premium upholstery is more expensive. At Sampur, we offer promotions and attractive prices throughout the year.
Now you know the different types of storage beds : standard opening models, standard opening + parallel opening models, and electric opening models. You've seen the selection criteria, storage capacity (up to 900 L or more), upholstery options (bouclé, fabric, corduroy, faux leather), and the importance of bedding (bed base, mattress, linens).
If you are looking for functional, aesthetic and well-designed bedding, Sampur's collection of storage beds stands out as a very relevant option.
