A storage bench at the foot of the bed gives you a place to sit while putting on shoes and a hidden space for spare blankets and pillows. Most models have a hinged, upholstered lid over an open box, while a few add a back or a drawer. Width matters most, so measure the end of your bed first.
The six benches below range from a 36 inch bench to a 51 inch tufted bench. Sizes, materials and weight capacities come from each product’s listing page, and the capacities are the makers’ own figures. We have not used these benches ourselves.
