Double Beds with Drawers NZ – Smart Storage Solutions for Smaller Bedrooms

Looking for a Double bed with drawers in NZ? Whether you're downsizing, moving into a retirement village, furnishing a smaller bedroom or simply wanting more storage, a Double bed with drawers offers a practical combination of sleeping comfort and space-saving convenience.

A Double bed provides more sleeping room than a King Single while taking up less space than a Queen. Add built-in drawers underneath, and you have a bed that combines comfortable sleeping with valuable bedroom storage.

At Luxury Orthopaedic Beds, our NZ-made Orthopaedic Merino Bed is available in Double size, with an optional drawer base and four different mattress comfort levels.

A Double bed with drawers is a practical choice for bedrooms where every centimetre counts.

Rather than filling your room with additional storage furniture, built-in bed drawers make use of the space underneath your mattress.

The benefits include:

For many New Zealanders, a Double bed with drawers provides an appealing balance of comfort, practicality and storage.

A standard New Zealand Double mattress measures approximately 137 cm wide by 188 cm long.

Here's how it compares with other common New Zealand mattress sizes:

A Double is approximately 16 cm narrower and 15 cm shorter than a Queen.

That difference can be particularly useful when furnishing a smaller bedroom or moving into a home with a different layout.

However, mattress dimensions aren't necessarily the same as the external dimensions of the bed base. Always allow for the full bed size and sufficient space to open the drawers.

Moving into a retirement village often involves making decisions about which furniture to keep and what will best suit your new home.

You may be moving from a larger family bedroom into a more compact space, where storage and furniture placement become increasingly important.

A Double bed with drawers can be an excellent option for someone who wants more sleeping space than a Single or King Single without taking up as much room as a Queen.

For people sleeping alone, a Double provides additional width for stretching out and changing sleeping positions.

The drawers underneath can also help make up for reduced wardrobe or cupboard space.

Before choosing your Double bed, consider:

Choosing the right combination of bed size, storage and support can make a real difference to how comfortably your new bedroom works.

One of the most common decisions when downsizing is whether to choose a Double or Queen bed.

Both sizes have their advantages.

A Double mattress measures approximately 137 × 188 cm, while a Queen measures approximately 153 × 203 cm.

That makes a Double 16 cm narrower and 15 cm shorter.

A Double may be a good choice if:

A Queen may be more suitable if:

If you're downsizing from a Queen to a Double, consider whether the reduction in sleeping space will suit your everyday needs.

For couples, those extra centimetres of width can be important.

A Double bed with drawers makes use of the space underneath your mattress, helping reduce the need for additional storage furniture.

Depending on the drawer-base configuration, the storage can be useful for:

Before purchasing, check the number, dimensions and positioning of the drawers.

Think about where your bedside tables will sit and whether there will be enough clearance to open the drawers fully.

The most practical storage bed is one that fits comfortably into your bedroom and allows easy access to your belongings.

Storage is important, but the comfort and support of your mattress matter just as much.

At Luxury Orthopaedic Beds, our NZ-made Orthopaedic Merino Bed features our Orthopaedic Five-Zone Pocket Spring System.

The system is designed with five different support zones, providing targeted support through areas including the shoulders, lumbar region and hips.

The mattress also features beautiful New Zealand merino wool for natural comfort.

Our Orthopaedic Merino Bed is available in four comfort levels:

Mattress comfort is a personal choice.

The firmest mattress isn't necessarily the best option for everyone, and choosing the right feel is an important part of finding a bed you'll enjoy sleeping on.

A Double bed with drawers can be a practical option for older adults who sleep alone and prefer more room than a Single bed provides.

It can also be useful when downsizing to a smaller bedroom while retaining comfortable sleeping space.

When selecting a bed, consider the overall height of the mattress and base.

A suitable height can make sitting on the edge of the bed and standing up more comfortable, depending on individual height and mobility.

Also consider how easily you can access the drawers, particularly if bending or reaching is difficult.

For people with specific mobility requirements, individual assessment may be helpful before choosing a bed.

At Luxury Orthopaedic Beds, we believe smaller bedrooms deserve the same quality mattress support and comfort as larger ones.
