Australia's largest standard bed size, built smarter. A king bed with storage pairs the full 183 × 203 cm sleeping space with serious under-bed capacity — gas-lift bases, side drawers and storage designs that swallow quilts, luggage and seasonal clothing, so the biggest bed in the house also works the hardest. In fabric, timber and PU leather styles. Part of our wider storage bed frames range, family-owned, priced direct and held in stock locally.
How to Choose a King Bed with Storage
A king is the largest standard bed in Australia — and a storage base makes it work even harder. The bigger the bed, the bigger the storage: a king size bed with storage hides a wardrobe-shelf's worth of quilts, luggage and seasonal clothing inside the footprint the bed was taking up anyway. The key decisions are storage type, room fit and finish:
Gas lift
Hydraulic pistons lift the entire base to reveal one cavity spanning the full 183 × 203 cm footprint — the largest under-bed storage you can buy. Compare the range in our gas lift beds collection.
Drawers & side storage
A king bed with side storage drawers slides open for everyday access — folded clothing, spare sheets and the things you reach for without wanting to lift the base. That's the heart of this collection.
Storage headboard
Integrated shelving keeps books, devices and night-time essentials within arm's reach — a streamlined look when bedside space is tight. Browse bookcase beds.
Gas Lift or Drawers — the King-Size Equation
The king footprint changes the maths compared to a queen — here's what matters at this size:

Choose Your Finish — Fabric, Timber or PU Leather
A king bed anchors any room, so the finish sets the tone. Fabric and upholstered designs feel soft and contemporary, at home in Scandi and minimalist rooms — see our fabric bed frames. Timber brings warm, natural character for coastal and organic interiors — explore the wooden bed frames range. PU leather delivers structured, minimal lines for urban and luxe rooms, with a wipe-clean surface — browse PU leather bed frames.

King Beds with Storage — FAQs
What size is a king bed in Australia?
A standard Australian king mattress measures 183 × 203 cm — sometimes called the Eastern King. That's 10 cm narrower than the US king (193 cm), so always check dimensions when comparing international retailers. Frames sit around 190–200 cm wide overall; measure your room and doorways before ordering.
What room size do I need for a king bed with storage?
For a king with side drawers, aim for at least 4 × 4 m so both sides stay walkable and drawers open fully. In a tighter room, a gas-lift king is the smarter choice — the base lifts vertically with no side clearance needed, and works well from about 3.5 × 4 m.
What's the difference between a gas-lift king bed and a drawer king bed?
A gas-lift king raises the entire mattress base on hydraulic pistons, revealing one large compartment — the most total storage you can get under a bed. A drawer king slides storage out from the sides or foot for quick everyday access. Gas lift wins on capacity; drawers win on convenience for things you use regularly.
What can I store in a king storage bed?
Spare duvets, extra pillows and blankets, seasonal clothing, luggage, guest bedding and linen. Because the king base is the largest available, gas-lift designs in particular hold what would otherwise need a hallway cupboard — while drawer designs keep folded clothing and spare sheets organised and reachable.
Do king storage beds come assembled or flat-packed?
They arrive flat-packed with clear instructions and the fixings included. Assembly is straightforward, though king components are the largest in the range, so a second person makes handling the platform and side rails much easier. Specifics are noted on each product page.
Can I see king storage beds in person before buying?
Yes — we have five showrooms across South-East Queensland, in Rocklea, North Ipswich, Beenleigh, Virginia and Bundall, open seven days. Test the drawer glide and gas-lift feel in person, and our team can advise on room fit, storage type and mattress pairing.
What mattress do I need for a king storage bed?
A standard Australian king mattress — 183 × 203 cm. Check the frame's internal platform dimensions before ordering, as some storage designs measure slightly smaller inside than the overall frame width. Browse our king mattress range for a matched option.
