Every small-space dweller knows the struggle of moving into a new place and wondering whether or not the bed will fit. Sure, the apartment says it’s big enough for a Queen, but is it really? If you’re committed to sleeping on something bigger than a Twin no matter what, then there are a few easy ways to make room for it. Go for something with a low profile and sleek lines to minimize visual clutter, or go all-in on a storage bed. And if you’re looking for a really space-saving solution, don’t forget about daybeds and Murphy beds — they can be life-changing buys in the right setup. With so many bed options out there, where’s one to start? Well, if you’re struggling to find something that fits the bill, fear not: We found eight beds that’ll work in your small space, no matter what you’re looking for. Oh, and they’re also quite wallet friendly, to boot.
