![]() ![]() When I store them under the bed in the drawers, they can’t get to them.įor a long time, I kept magazines and books under there. I have dogs that live in the house, and they always try to steal my shoes and chew on them when I’m not looking. My captain’s bed provides me with the perfect place to store my shoes. I have considered hiring someone to detach it from the wall, but that would make such a big mess. My room is on the second story, and I would have liked to open the curtain and look at the stars while trying to fall asleep. The bed faces a wall, but I have often thought it would be nice if it faced the window. The room has plenty of space, so if I get bored with the layout, I can easily move chairs, tables, and shelves around. The previous owners took the mattress, so at least I got to choose my own. I’m stuck with the arrangement of the furniture in my room, because the house came with a built-in captain’s bed frame. She did say later that she was glad the bed was attached to the wall, because if it had gone hopping across the floor, she could have been hit by the hard objects over and over. She had a headache for days and bruising for weeks. One night, she was asleep when the house began to shake.Īll of her decorative items in the shelving came crashing down on her head. Her bed is a built-in, so she usually feels pretty secure in it. She used to store her ceramic knickknacks there, but that was before the earthquake. My mother has a captain’s bed with shelving on the headboard. I guess she takes after me, because I often find her in there. I have a daughter now, and if I cannot find her, the first place I look is in the bed storage drawer. That’s when I knew it was time to come out. ![]() Her mother helped her look, and then I heard her say that maybe she should call the cops. Once she had searched the whole house, I heard her frantically telling her mother that I had gone missing. I could hear her looking all over the room. I pushed against the bottom of the mattress to slide the drawer shut. I opened the drawer under the bed and quietly slid inside. My cousin waited down the hall in the bathroom while I hid. I found this out while playing hide and seek as a seven-year-old. The storage below a captain’s bed can make a great hiding place. I remember my mom bought the bed because my closet was so small. I used to make sure my favorite books, toys and collectibles were tucked away. I was actually a pretty organized kid, and my bed had six drawers in the platform. I used to love the doors under my bed because I could store a whole assortment of treasures. It was solid oak and I remember that it had a really shiny finish that I could actually see myself in at the right angle. When I was growing up I had a captain's bed that I really loved. My granddaughter has one, and it works great when she has a friend over for a sleep-over. I've seen more of the trundle style beds, where a second twin-size bed pulls out from under the main bed. But they are pretty bulky and look like they would be hard to move. Some of them look like they have oodles of storage space. I have seen a few in children's rooms and some in magazines. They do sound just perfect for a captain on a ship. Personally, I think that unless you really need the extra storage bed, or plan to stay in your home for a really long time, you should probably forgo the captain's bed.Ĭaptain's beds are great to look at and provide oodles of extra storage, but wow, they are heavy. Plus, it is very awkward to get that frame through a door. I think it is the frame surrounding the platform doors that is the heaviest part of the bed. We have a smaller captain's bed for guests and the thing weighs a ton. We recommend a mattress no thicker than 16cm to fit in the trundle.One thing you should consider before purchasing a captain's bed is how much weight you are willing to haul around if you need to move. The Tomas Captain bed requires a single continental mattress (90cm x 200cm) for the frame and a standard single mattress (90cm x 190cm) for the trundle. ![]() There are measures put in place to prevent illegal logging, protection of fragile ecosystems, and eliminate clear-cut areas and pesticide use.
