The Variety of Captain’s Beds
Captain’s beds are essentially platform beds with built-in drawers beneath the bed. They provide additional storage while also eliminating the need for box springs. Traditionally seen in children’s rooms, they are finding their way into master’s suites.
Built-in Drawers
The built-in drawers can be used for clothing, shoes, bedding or other items. Another option is to have a trundle bed installed beneath the mattress. Twin beds usually feature either the storage drawers on one side or the trundle bed. Larger beds will have storage drawers on both sides for convenience and additional storage.
Modern or Traditional
These beds don’t have to be modern. You can choose a traditional style that will look sophisticated and elegant in any room. Whether you choose a low footboard and modern look or a gorgeous traditional style, you are sure to love having the extra storage built in to the bed.
No Box Springs
These platform beds also allow you to save money on box springs. The beds are built on platforms, so there is no need to spend money on the bottom mattress. This can add up to a substantial savings over the years.
Captain’s beds are moving out of the kid’s bedrooms and into the parent’s bedroom. The drawers provide additional storage and the platform will help you avoid the expense of box springs. Available in modern or traditional styles, you are sure to find the right design for your home.
