What is a Captain’s Bed Anyway?

The name and design of the captain’s bed originate from the beds used onboard ships.  The term captain’s bed refers to a bed with built in storage drawers beneath the sleeping surface.  These beds are designed to maximize the limited available space onboard a ship by incorporating the sailors or “captains“ storage beneath their beds.  The captain beds that are available for your home today embrace this highly functional and space saving design and are the perfect solution for optimizing a small bedroom.
