Double storage beds
Doubles tend to go into the smaller rooms in a house — teenagers' rooms, guest rooms, granny flats — which is exactly where built-in storage matters most. If the room is too small for a separate chest of drawers, a storage bed is often the only place left to put anything.
Gas lift or drawers?
They solve different problems. Gas lift frames hinge the whole mattress platform up on hydraulic struts and open the entire footprint of the bed as one cavity — by far the most capacity, and the right call for suitcases, spare bedding and off-season clothing. You do have to clear the bed to get in, so it suits things you reach for seasonally.
Drawers give you two to four compartments built into the footboard or side rails that open without disturbing the bed — less capacity, but the one you want for everyday items. They need floor clearance in front to pull out fully, so check that against your walking space and any rug. Bookcase headboards add a third kind: shelving at arm's reach that on several frames replaces bedside tables altogether.
Each card shows whether that frame is in stock, on pre-order or sold out.

A Practical Guide to Choosing a Double Bed with Storage
A double bed with storage is one of the most practical upgrades you can make to a bedroom. At the standard Australian double size (137 × 187 cm), these frames earn their keep in guest rooms, teen rooms, smaller masters and apartments — anywhere floor space matters more than sleep width. The right storage style depends on how you live day to day, how much walkway you have beside the bed, and what you want tucked out of sight. A well-chosen storage bed should feel like a quiet backdrop, not the busiest thing in the room.
Gas Lift or Drawers: Which Suits a Double?
Both add real, usable storage — the choice between a double bed frame with storage drawers and a gas-lift base comes down to how they behave in a smaller footprint:
Rule of thumb: if the room is already tight, gas lift; if the bed is accessed daily — a teen's room, a busy guest room — drawers feel more intuitive.
Australian Double Size & Room Fit
A standard Australian double mattress measures 137 × 187 cm, with frames typically 5–10 cm larger each way (around 147 × 197 cm) to accommodate the structure and storage mechanism. Aim for a room of at least 2.8 × 3.0 m, with 60 cm of walkway on the sides you use — and on any drawer side. A double suits a single adult, a teenager, or a couple who prioritise floor space: shared between two, each sleeper gets only about 68 cm of width, which is why couples sleeping in it every night usually prefer the step up to a queen bed with storage (153 × 203 cm — 16 cm wider and 16 cm longer). For every standard dimension, see our Australian bed sizes guide.
Choosing the Right Style
Storage beds work hardest when they don't look like storage beds — the frame should read as part of the room's design language, not a utility purchase:
Timber
Warm, grounding and long-wearing — at home in teen rooms and relaxed guest spaces alike. Explore the timber finishes across our wooden bed frames.
Upholstered
Softer and more tactile, with padded headboards that make reading in bed comfortable — see fabric and PU leather designs.
Whichever direction you take, check the slat system, frame construction and any weight rating on the product page — those details determine how the bed feels five years in, not just on day one.

Double Beds with Storage — FAQs
What is the size of a double bed in Australia?
A standard Australian double mattress is 137 cm wide by 187 cm long. Frames are typically slightly larger — around 147 × 197 cm — to accommodate the construction and storage mechanism. A double is 16 cm narrower and 16 cm shorter than a queen.
Is gas lift or drawer storage better for a double bed?
Neither is automatically better — it depends on how you live. A gas-lift base gives one large concealed cavity, ideal for quilts, spare linen and seasonal items, with no side clearance needed. Drawers give faster everyday access for clothing and essentials, but need about 60 cm of clearance to open.
Is a double storage bed big enough for two adults?
A double can fit two adults, but each person gets only about 68 cm of sleeping width — fine short-term or in a guest room. Couples sharing every night are usually more comfortable on a queen storage bed (153 × 203 cm).
How much weight can a gas-lift double bed hold?
Gas-lift mechanisms are calibrated to the frame size and the weight of the mattress on top — struts are rated for a mattress weight range, listed on each product page. A very heavy mattress can make the lift feel stiff, so check the recommendation before pairing.
How much room do I need for a double bed with storage drawers?
Leave at least 60 cm of clearance on any side where drawers open. For a frame around 147 cm wide, a bedroom of at least 2.8 × 3.0 m keeps the room comfortable to move around in.
Do your double storage beds come assembled?
Assembly is straightforward, though two people make handling the platform and side rails easier — gas-lift designs take a little longer than drawer bases. Specifics are noted on each product page.
Do you deliver double storage beds outside Brisbane?
Yes — we deliver across South-East Queensland including the Gold Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba, with fees calculated at checkout by postcode. Free delivery on eligible items within 10 km* of our Rocklea warehouse when you pay outright (not pay later), ground floor only, and delivery across SE QLD at a cost; see our delivery terms.
Can I pair a double storage bed with any mattress?
Any standard Australian double mattress (137 × 187 cm) fits. For gas-lift bases, keep within the recommended mattress weight range so the mechanism lifts smoothly. Browse our mattress range for compatible options.
