Type of Bed

Storage, canopy, low profile and a captains bed are all various types of beds that you can select for your bedroom. Each has its own distinct purpose and you should consider what your needs are before you settle on your final decision.

If you have a small bedroom, these types of beds are ideal.

A captains bed is similar in purpose to storage beds, but have a distinct style derived from early nautical influences and every nook and cranny of the bed frame is designed to store just about anything. Canopy beds are often chosen for larger rooms with high ceilings. You will also need to purchase dressers and other furniture accessories if you choose a canopy bed.

These two considerations will determine whether you select a twin, full, queen or king sized sleep system.

When you shop for a new sleep system, be sure to compare prices, quality, warranties, shipping fees and return policies. If you take your time and do your homework, you can easily choose the right bed for your bedroom that will be an enjoyment for years to come.
