Beds for space-saving

Need to make the most of your space? There are many different beds that can help.

Although television and magazine adverts show beds in lovely large bedrooms, most of us don't have that kind of space. We need beds that will fit into the space we have, or that allow us to have a flexible space that can be used for more than one purpose.

Many people, for example, need a spare room to double as a guest room and a study. With limited space, it can be difficult to fit in a double bed and a reasonable desk area, not to mention storage for guests and filing space for your office. In the same way, a small third bedroom might be perfect for a nursery, but when your child grows out of the cot, you'll need to replace it with a much larger bed, which reduces the space left for clothes and toys.

Space saving beds

Of course, there are plenty of answers to your space dilemmas. Beds are constantly evolving in order to meet the needs of consumers and currently, you can choose beds from the following ranges:

Guest beds

The market in guest beds has grown over recent years. One of the most popular forms of guest bed is the single bed with a second bed stored in the base. These beds come in various styles so that you can choose one that fits into your decoration scheme. Some have beds that just pull out from underneath the single bed to provide a base and mattress - ideal for kids' sleepovers. Others have folding legs so that the second bed can be made the same height as the original single - this allows you to provide two single beds in a room or to link the beds together to form a double. This versatility is ideal in a room where you don't have space for a permanent double bed, or where you may need to use a child's room for guests.

Beds with storage

You can get beds of all sizes with integrated storage. Standard height beds can incorporate drawers which offer considerable space for storing bedding, linen, towels and clothing, whilst kids' midsleeper and highsleeper beds have space for cupboards, wardrobes, desks and bookshelves underneath the raised bed frame.

Fold-away beds

From sophisticated wall beds that can be hidden in a bespoke cupboard to simple foldaway beds and chair beds, there are many different ways that you can cater for additional visitors or sleepovers without having to buy a permanent bed.
