Captains Bed with Drawers: Buyer's Tips for Best Selections
A captains bed with drawers is a historical favorite that is now updated with contemporary functionality and style that is sure to please.
A captains bed with drawers is the more traditional option for storage sleep units and has been around since the wooden shipping days. Historically, the captains bed provided ample storage space for a ship's captain while living in the cramped quarters of a ship's cabin. The popularity of this design has evolved over time into more than just a nautical inspired style although the nautical flavor for captains beds is still quite popular.
If you are searching for just the right bed that offers a variety of choices while sticking with the best traits of the old ship's cabin sleep space, there is no better choice than a captains bed with drawers. You can find sleep units for adults and children while choosing the flavor that you prefer for whatever bedroom in the house you need furnished. Here are a few tips that may help you select the best piece of furniture for your needs.
Tip #1 - Determine the size bed you need.
There are all sizes of captains beds that you can purchase, so it's not a problem to find whatever size you need. King, queen beds, full, and twin are standard size bed frames offered through various suppliers. However, it's best to measure your bedroom or the area in which you wish to place your new bed. Be sure to include space for a headboard and footboard. Also, be sure to allow for space on both sides of the frame so that you can comfortably pull out the storage drawers for easy use.
You will also want to consider the size of the mattress space needed before selecting a captains bed with drawers. A twin size will easily accommodate a toddler or youth, while a full may be needed for a single adult or couple. The most popular size for adults is usually the queen size, although some people opt for the massive, king size storage options that are available.
Tip #2 - Determine the amount of storage your prefer.
Depending on the size of your room, amount of items to store and height of the frame, you will need to determine the amount of storage you want. If you have a smaller bedroom without room
for any additional furniture, then you may want to consider a double stacked drawer configuration that gives you maximum storage without using any additional floor space.
These designs offer a double row of drawers along both sides of the frame and some styles offer drawers even at the foot of the bed. A maximum number of drawers could total as much as 14 drawers under the sleep unit which will cause the bed to be more elevated than a typical platform bed. There is a wide array of configurations that include only 3 drawers on one side to the maximum 14 drawers on all sides.
Tip #3 - Match a style to your existing decor.
You can choose among any number of styles that can be matched to your existing furniture and
personal home decor. You can find mission, cottage, nautical, contemporary and traditional stylings that will fit just about anywhere. Available finishes are even more plentiful and some of the more popular include oak, walnut, pine and cherry. Contemporary painted finishes such as black and white are also very popular.
Before you make your final selection, be sure to compare quality and prices. There are many reputable manufacturers that offer great savings on just the right captains bed with drawers for the discriminating buyer.
