Instead, opt for a bed with drawers that open at the foot of the bed, or an ottoman bed that lifts from the end. We've rounded up all of the best double beds with storage.

An ottoman-style bed makes a fantastic addition to spare rooms, giving you space to store extra duvets and bedclothes, preventing wardrobes from looking overstuffed.

Side-opening ottoman beds are a clever solution for those with limited space to manoeuvre around the bottom of the bed. Available as a double, king and superking.
