You know how excited you get when you try on a dress that has pockets? Imagine that feeling but with pockets for your bed.

It’s normal to want to keep your creature comforts closeby when you’re horizontal, but small-space living doesn’t always afford the luxury of space for two nightstands. Here are the caddies and organizers we’re eyeing for maintaining a tidy bedside, whether you have a nightstand or not:

For a minimalist option: STICKAT from IKEA, $7.99

Free of bells and whistles, this simple storage option comes with three pockets in different sizes, meaning there’s a spot for your mini tablet, your smallest notebook, and even some candies (midnight snack, anyone?).

For a smooth profile: Felt Bedside Organizer Caddy from Amazon, $10.27

Adding storage to your bed doesn’t have to mean fashioning your bed to look like some sort of a pack mule. Avoid bulging pockets with this sleek option, which will covertly store your flattest items (laptops, books, reading glasses) and look just fine beneath your bedding too.

For function over fashion: Night Caddy Bedside Organizer from Amazon, $39.99

There’s a time and a place for a more utilitarian approach—and this caddy is for exactly that occasion. Turn to this option when you need to charge multiple pieces of tech and keep a Gatorade at your bedside, too.

For a place to put your bedtime beverage while you binge: BedShelfie from Amazon, $29.99

This organizer is small but mighty, offering you a little extra real estate to stack your bedside reads or prop up your tablet for late-night movie marathons. And since this system is more of a shelf than a sack, you can definitely bring that glass of wine to bed with you. (There’s also a Plus version for $60 if you need extra room.)

For when you always keep a magazine stash: Stackers Bedside Caddies from The Container Store, $29.99-$49.99

Some people keep a snack stash, others scroll Instagram–if your late-night habit of choice is catching up on your magazines, either the small or large versions of this kit is the bedside set-up for you.

When you need a heavy assist: Kenley Bedside Caddy from Amazon, $25.90

For when you really just need a catch-all: Kikkerland Bedside Storage Pocket from Target, $19.99

This one-pocket wonder could be the answer to all your bedside clutter. It’s a simple single pocket, but it looks holds up nicely near bedding, so it’ll blend right in with all your cozy bed textiles.
