Under bed baskets keep out-of-season clothing and bedding close at hand without taking up too much room in your drawers or closet. They also come in a variety of sizes and colors to suit your bedroom’s style.

What to Look For:

The best under bed baskets are made of sturdy materials and designed to be easily accessed from under the bed. They should have a lid, and you can often find them with wheels for easy rolling.

Why They Work:

A storage bin is an essential under bed addition, especially if you have limited drawer and closet space and are storing infrequently used items. They make it easy to stow out-of-season clothing and linens, extra blankets and pillows, and books that you’d rather not have in your living room.

Get Organized in Style: A Guide to Choosing the Right Under Bed Baskets for Your Bedroom

If you’re storing delicate fabrics and objects, choose sealed plastic containers that won’t retain moisture. They are also durable and usually come with a transparent lid so you can see what’s inside.

They may not be the most stylish option, but they’re still a great choice if you want to maximize space under your bed and have a clear view of what you’re stowing away. They’re less likely to break or scratch a mattress and they can be folded flat whenever you’re not using them, too.
