A storage bed is a multifunctional furniture consisting of a bed which utilizes storage space which often otherwise is lost,[1] for example by having drawers on its underside or a mattress which can be flipped up to access a storage space beneath (not to be confused with a pull-down bed which can be mounted to a wall).
It is an example of a storage furniture [2] or multifunctional furniture,[3] and can accommodate more efficient use of living spaces.
[4] A captain bed or captain's bed is a type of storage bed which in addition to having drawers beneath also usually has shelves above the mattress, for example at the headboard.
[citation needed] Storage beds are usually dedicated furniture built from the ground up as a bed frame with drawers, and usually have drawer slides.
