Choosing a Crushed Velvet Sleigh Bed with Storage

Having a sleigh bed in your bedroom is a sure way to add a touch of sophistication and style. The curved headboard and footboard make the bed stand out in your bedroom, creating a beautiful centerpiece. Coupled with a luxurious crushed velvet upholstery fabric, you have a bed that looks glamourous.

However, if your bedroom is on the small side and is not very spacious, you’ll want to choose a bed that has built-in storage. Luckily, in this guide we’ll discuss what are the different options you have and how to choose the best one.

2 Different Types of Crushed Velvet Sleight Beds with Storage

There are two types of crushed velvet sleight beds with storage: ottoman bed or bed with drawers. Both have their pros and cons. Below you can see some beautiful examples, so you will have a clearer picture on what type is best for your bedroom.

1. Ottoman Crushed Velvet Sleigh Bed

The biggest advantage with an ottoman crushed velvet sleigh bed, is that it has a very large storage space built-in under the mattress base. Ottoman beds are known for being able to store and fit in large amounts of items inside. They have gas piston lift mechanism, which make lifting up the base and mattress easy.

The Sienna Bed is a perfect example of a crushed velvet ottoman bed. You can easily lift up the base and access a large ottoman storage area, which is 22cm deep! This means that you can store bedding, seasonal clothes, boxes and other bulky items. You can assemble the ottoman base to open from the left or right side, depending on your needs.

Another good example of a crushed velvet sleigh bed with ottoman storage is the Castello Bed. It’s upholstered in steel colour and has dark rubberwood feet. The ottoman storage is 25.5cm deep, so you can store even more items inside. The bed has a platform base to support your mattress.

The Calvine Grey Crushed Velvet Storage Bed, is our third example on the list. What sets it apart from all the rest is that the headboard has a scroll design, while the footboard is low. This allows for the ottoman to be opened from the foot-end of the bed, not the side.

2. Crushed Velvet Bed with Drawers

The second type of a crushed velvet bed with storage is one that has drawers. There are usually 2 large drawers, one on each side of the bed. The advantage of having drawers, is that you can easily pull them out and put away or take out items from inside. You don’t have to lift up the base and mattress, as you would with an ottoman bed.

However, one disadvantage of having drawers, is that they don’t hold as much items as an ottoman. Make sure you check what are the internal dimensions of the drawers, so you can get an idea how many items and what types of things you can store inside. Drawers are perfect for bedding and clothing, but not large and bulky items.

The Verona Bed is a great example of a crushed velvet bed with drawers. The bed itself is upholstered in durable silver crushed velvet fabric. The headboard is quite high 120cm, so it will sure make a statement in your bedroom. There are two drawers, one on each side. The dimensions of the drawers are: 18cm high, 115cm wide, 57cm deep.  You put away pillows, blankets, towels and more.

Conclusion

Before you make your final decision, you’ll want to look at the dimensions and size of the bed. Check if it will fit well inside your bedroom. Also, if you have a large amount of belongings that you need to store somewhere, an ottoman would be a better choice.

But if you don’t have as many items, and don’t want to be bothered with lifting up the base every time, then drawers would be more suitable. Make sure you check out our large selection of crushed velvet storage beds, starting from just £194.99.
