A bed base with drawers is a bed foundation that includes built-in storage drawers under the mattress area. In simple terms, it’s a bed frame designed to support your mattress while also providing storage space for items such as bedding, clothes, shoes and seasonal accessories. The drawers are usually pull-out compartments that run along one or both sides of the bed, giving Australians extra storage without using additional floor space.
Here’s why Australians love bed bases with drawers — they combine practicality and style, turning under-bed space into useful storage while helping keep the bedroom organised and clutter-free.
The Australian market offers several variations to suit different bedroom layouts, personal preferences and storage needs:
Single sided drawers — ideal for rooms with beds positioned close to walls
Double sided drawers — maximum storage with drawers on both sides
End drawers only — works well when bedside tables restrict side access
Combination layout — end and side drawers for full accessibility
Roller runners for smooth sliding
Soft-close runners for high-end bedroom designs
Lift-up hydraulic frame (gas-lift hybrid) with supplementary drawers
Solid timber with drawers — durable and timeless
Upholstered bed base with drawers — soft, textured and premium
Engineered wood with laminate — cost-effective and modern
Bouclé upholstery — trending in 2025 for luxury interiors
Most bed bases with drawers in Australia come in:

King Single

Super King
This makes them suitable for master bedrooms, guest rooms, children’s spaces and compact apartments.
Below is a practical buyer’s guide designed to make selection fast and stress-free:
Measure the room layout
Is there space for side drawers to open?
Will the foot of the bed be blocked by furniture?
Choose the right storage configuration
Side drawers → best for easy everyday storage
End drawers → good for narrow rooms
Double side drawers → ideal for couples who share storage
Consider height and depth
Taller bed bases = larger drawer capacity
Shallow drawers = easier access for kids’ rooms
Pick your material
Upholstered for cosy bedroom interiors
Timber for a natural, coastal or farmhouse look
Laminate for a minimalist contemporary style
Check mattress compatibility
Most bed bases with drawers suit:
Pocket spring mattresses
Latex mattresses
Memory foam mattresses
Think about long-term storage
Bedding + quilts → wide deep drawers
Shoes + accessories → double drawers per side
Children’s bedrooms → anti-slam soft-close runners

The secret is to combine practicality with styling layers.
Choose an upholstered headboard to soften the storage base
Add a bench or ottoman at the foot for visual grounding
Layer throws and cushions for depth
Pick durable fabrics and stain-resistant upholstery
Use labelled internal organisers inside the drawers
Choose neutral colours that transition as the child grows
Include spare towels and quilt sets inside the storage drawers
Keep bedding neutral and elegant to suit all guest preferences
Add extra pillows and blackout curtains for a hotel-like feel
Design tip:
A bed base with drawers should feel like a premium design feature — not a storage compromise. Keep styling soft, cohesive and elevated.
