Under-bed Storage
Mid sleeper cabin beds are popular because they provide a variety of storage options. They typically sit one metre off the floor unlike high sleeper or bunk beds that are very high. This leaves plenty of space underneath for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the best option for storage under the bed. These can run the full length of the bed, and be placed at either end, or even incorporate a space for tables for bedside. To create a clean smooth finish, opt for drawers that are designed to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Woven drawers and baskets made of natural materials are a different under-bed storage option worth taking into consideration. Woven fibers circulate air and eliminate dampness and musty smells. They keep the items fresh and safe. If items are to be stored for longer durations, a vacuum packed storage bag is an ideal option since it removes all the air and allow you to fit more space.
