Full Size Captain Beds: A Fit for Every Space

Offering a bit more sleep space than a twin and lots more underbed storage, double beds allow room for more than one person while still fitting into most small or large bedrooms without using up so much square footage. Also, the fact that captains beds have dressers built right in to the frame beneath, there is typically no need for extra storage furniture such as dressers or chests.

These types of sleep systems offer various choices of drawers, headboards, and additional options, depending on the design and style. For those who need the maximum storage capacity possible in a double captains bed, manufacturers have met the requirement with two layers of drawers on either side of the bed which amounts to 12 drawers.

Some full size captain beds are also designed with optional storage at the footboard which may either be 2 small drawers or perhaps a combination cabinet with swinging door. Of course, the double set of drawers built within the frame will also mean that your mattress will sit a bit higher off the floor than some typical platform beds.

If you don't need 12 drawers or you are planning on adding a dresser or chest to your room's furnishings, you may prefer a single set of drawers built into the frame of the bed. This would allow for 6 drawers, 3 on either side, and would also mean that the height of the bed would be lower than a 12 drawer captains bed. Usually, 6 drawer beds do not offer optional storage in the footboard.

Also, some manufacturers offer a design that includes only drawers on one side of the bed for consumers who wish to use the bed pushed against a wall. This would mean having either a set of

three or 6 drawers, depending on the amount you prefer.

Headboards also offer extra storage such as bookcases, built in compartments or even extended

night stands in some sleep units. Some lines of sleep systems also offer additional matching furniture pieces to extend the possibilities for your bedroom. There is no limit to the options and designs that can be found in sleep units that are sure to please everyone who values extra storage as well as comfort in full size captains beds.
