A bed frame with under-bed storage can keep pet blankets, toys, and grooming supplies close at hand, but a dedicated pet nook and a practical drawer system solve different problems. I rank the Merax King first for its six drawers and open foot end, while the FUNKOCO Full combines pet entry points with headboard storage and charging. If you want your cat or dog to have a defined sleeping spot, the SOFTSEA Full offers an arched nook rather than enclosed drawers. The tradeoff is simple: drawers conceal supplies, open nooks are easier for pets to access, and a larger frame may not suit a smaller room.

These picks are not interchangeable. I weighed how directly each design helps with pet-related storage, whether it gives a pet usable space, and what bedroom compromises come with it. A dedicated nook may be less useful for bulky supplies than drawers, while a low-profile drawer bed can offer storage without making a pet bed part of the frame.

Key Takeaways
- Merax is the strongest choice for concealed pet supplies, with six drawers and an open foot end that leaves a separate pet-access area.
- SOFTSEA and YOPTO prioritize a pet nook; their under-bed openings can hold supplies, but they do not provide built-in drawers.
- FUNKOCO balances two drawers with three headboard compartments and footboard pet entry points, but its lighting is app-controlled.
- GarveeHome suits queen-size rooms and buyers who want two drawers in a low-profile frame, not a dedicated pet nook.
- Check whether open under-bed space, drawer capacity, or a pet sleeping nook matters most before choosing; each design serves a different storage routine.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Merax King Platform Bed Frame with 6 Storage Drawers, Pet-Friendly Open Foot End, Natural
The Merax earns my top spot because it combines two distinct functions without asking the buyer to repurpose one space for both: six built-in drawers can hold pet blankets, toys, or grooming items, while the open foot end keeps an area available for a pet. That arrangement is more versatile than the SOFTSEA and YOPTO, which focus on a shared open nook rather than drawer storage. It is also a better fit for buyers with several categories of pet gear than GarveeHome’s two-drawer layout.
The tradeoff is scale. This is a king-size frame, and its listed weight of 185 pounds makes moving and setup less convenient than the lighter GarveeHome. It has no headboard, so buyers who want one should look at FUNKOCO or the upholstered nook beds instead. Its wood slat system supports a mattress without a box spring, but the supplied details do not state drawer dimensions or how much each drawer holds. I would choose it for a larger room where concealed storage matters more than a headboard.
Pros:- Six built-in drawers provide the most stated drawer capacity in this lineup.
- Open foot end preserves an area for pet access rather than closing off the bed base.
- Wood slats support a mattress without a box spring.
- King size gives buyers a larger sleeping surface.
Cons:- At 185 pounds, the frame may be cumbersome to move or assemble.
- No headboard is included.
- Drawer dimensions are not specified.
Best for: Buyers with a king mattress who want several concealed places for pet supplies while keeping the foot end open for a pet.
Not ideal for: Shoppers with a small room, anyone who needs a headboard, or buyers who want a lighter frame that is easier to move.
- Size:King
- Color:Natural
- Frame material:Wood; engineered wood and wood
- Dimensions:82.3 × 78 × 22 inches
- Weight:185 pounds
- Weight capacity:600 pounds
- Storage:6 drawers
- Support:Wood slats; no box spring needed
Our verdict“I recommend Merax for buyers who want substantial concealed storage and pet access in one king-size frame.”
FUNKOCO Farmhouse Full Bed Frame with Storage Headboard, Drawers, LED Lights, and Charging Station
FUNKOCO takes a more room-furniture approach than the drawer-first Merax: it pairs two under-bed drawers with three open headboard compartments, then adds footboard pet entry points. The headboard cubbies are handy for small items you want within reach, while the drawers can hold supplies that look better out of sight. That mix makes it more flexible for a bedroom serving several purposes than SOFTSEA or YOPTO, whose main distinction is an open nook for a pet.
Its 800-pound stated capacity is the highest listed in this group, and the frame includes two power outlets and app-controlled RGB lighting. Those extras make it a feature-rich pick, but they are not the reason to buy it for pet supplies. The listing says adjusting the lights requires a mobile app, and the two drawers offer less dedicated drawer storage than Merax’s six. FUNKOCO is full size rather than king or queen, so it suits a different room and mattress footprint. Choose it when headboard organization and charging matter alongside pet access; skip it if you want a simple, drawer-heavy design.
Pros:- Combines two drawers with three open headboard compartments.
- Footboard pet entry points connect the design to pet access.
- Two power outlets and app-controlled RGB lighting are built in.
- Listed capacity is 800 pounds, with no box spring required.
Cons:- Two drawers provide less built-in drawer storage than Merax.
- Adjusting the LED lighting requires a mobile app.
- The full size may not fit buyers seeking a queen or king frame.
Best for: Full-size shoppers who want pet entry points, some concealed storage, headboard compartments, and built-in charging.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want the most drawer space, prefer a simple frame, or do not want app-controlled lighting features.
- Size:Full
- Materials:Engineered wood and metal
- Dimensions:80.71 × 55.71 × 42.6 inches
- Maximum weight capacity:800 pounds
- Under-bed storage:2 drawers
- Headboard storage:3 open compartments
- Charging:2 standard power outlets
- Support:Wood slats; no box spring required
Our verdict“I’d choose FUNKOCO when a full bed needs to serve as a pet-friendly storage hub with headboard organization and charging.”
SOFTSEA Full Size Upholstered Platform Bed with Pet Nook, Black
SOFTSEA is the clearest pick for buyers who want the bed itself to create a defined spot for a cat or dog. Its arched under-bed openings make the space accessible as a pet nook, and the remaining under-bed area can also be used for storage. That is a different proposition from Merax: Merax gives supplies dedicated drawers and leaves the foot end open, while SOFTSEA centers the design on an animal’s access to the space beneath the bed.
The channel-tufted upholstered headboard gives it a softer look than the simpler GarveeHome frame, and the wood slats support foam, latex, or hybrid mattresses without a box spring. However, there are no built-in drawers, and the mattress and pet accessories are sold separately. Buyers planning to store loose toys or grooming products may find open space less tidy than the Merax or FUNKOCO drawer systems. Its listed dimensions and full-size footprint make it worth comparing against YOPTO if a pet nook is the priority; the choice between them is largely about preferred color and headboard style, since both emphasize open pet space.
Pros:- Arched openings create an accessible under-bed pet nook.
- Open under-bed area can also be used for storage.
- Wood slats support foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses.
- Includes assembly instructions and tools.
Cons:- No built-in drawers are listed.
- Mattress and pet accessories are sold separately.
- Assembly is required.
Best for: Full-size buyers who want an upholstered headboard and an accessible under-bed nook for a pet, with open space for additional items.
Not ideal for: Anyone who needs closed drawers to keep pet supplies organized or wants a frame that includes a mattress or pet accessories.
- Size:Full
- Color:Black
- Materials:Plywood, solid wood, MDF, and upholstered headboard
- Dimensions:77.8 × 56.7 × 53.1 inches
- Weight:102.44 pounds
- Pet space:Arched under-bed openings
- Support:Wood slats; no box spring needed
- Assembly:Required; instructions and tools included
Our verdict“I recommend SOFTSEA when a comfortable-looking pet nook matters more than concealed, divided storage.”
YOPTO Full Size Upholstered Platform Bed with Pet Nook, Beige
YOPTO shares SOFTSEA’s main idea: multiple arched openings turn the space beneath a full bed into a nook for a cat or dog, while leaving room for other storage. Its beige, velvet-like channel-tufted headboard gives it a lighter visual character than SOFTSEA’s black upholstery. If the bed’s appearance is part of the decision, that distinction may matter; in practical storage terms, though, neither model lists built-in drawers, so both are less suited to buyers who want pet supplies hidden and separated.
The slat system works with foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses, and no box spring is needed. The supplied details do not list dimensions, frame weight, or a drawer count, so buyers should verify that the footprint works in their room and plan to organize supplies in bins if they use the open area for them. Compared with FUNKOCO, YOPTO gives up headboard compartments, outlets, and drawers in favor of an uncomplicated pet-centered nook. I’d pick it over SOFTSEA mainly for the beige upholstered look, not because its stated storage arrangement is more extensive.
Pros:- Multiple arched openings provide a pet nook beneath the bed.
- Open under-bed space can also store items.
- Wood slats support foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses.
- No box spring is required.
Cons:- No built-in drawers are listed for concealed supply storage.
- Mattress and pet accessories are not included.
- Dimensions and frame weight are not provided in the supplied specifications.
Best for: Full-size buyers who prefer a beige upholstered headboard and want an open nook that lets a pet stay near the bed.
Not ideal for: Shoppers who need concealed pet-supply drawers, want detailed listed dimensions before buying, or prefer a storage-heavy headboard.
- Size:Full
- Color:Beige
- Headboard:Velvet-like upholstery with channel tufting
- Frame materials:Plywood, solid wood, MDF, and upholstered components
- Pet space:Multiple arched openings beneath the bed
- Slats:Wood
- Compatible mattresses:Foam, latex, and hybrid
- Box spring:Not required
Our verdict“YOPTO is the better fit for buyers drawn to a beige upholstered pet nook, but not for those prioritizing organized drawers.”
GarveeHome Queen Wood Platform Bed Frame with 2 Drawers
GarveeHome is the straightforward choice for buyers who want two under-bed drawers in a queen frame without adding an upholstered pet nook or a feature-packed headboard. Its low-profile, floor-standing design keeps the bed visually simple, while the drawers provide a place for pet blankets and everyday supplies. Compared with Merax, it gives up four drawers and the explicitly pet-friendly open foot end, but it is queen size and weighs 82 pounds rather than 185.
This is not a dedicated pet bed: no nook or pet entry points are listed, so an animal may not have a clearly designed space underneath. That makes it less pet-centered than SOFTSEA and YOPTO, though its 1000-pound maximum weight recommendation is the largest listed capacity among these options. The frame uses engineered wood, and assembly is required; tools and instructions are included. I’d put it on the shortlist when tidy drawer storage and a low silhouette matter more than a built-in pet route.
Pros:- Two drawers offer concealed storage for blankets and small supplies.
- Low-profile floor-standing design suits a minimalist bedroom.
- Slat support means no box spring is required.
- Assembly tools and instructions are included.
Cons:- No pet nook or pet entry point is listed.
- Made from engineered wood.
- Assembly is required.
Best for: Queen-size buyers seeking a simple, low-profile frame with two drawers for pet supplies and bedroom essentials.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want a built-in pet nook, more than two drawers, or a frame made from solid wood.
- Size:Queen
- Material:Engineered wood
- Color and finish:Walnut, matte
- Dimensions:81.1 × 61.4 × 10.2 inches
- Weight:82 pounds
- Maximum weight recommendation:1000 pounds
- Storage:2 drawers
- Assembly:Required; tools and instructions included
Our verdict“I’d choose GarveeHome for understated queen-size drawer storage, not for a frame designed around pet access.”
How We Picked
I ranked these frames by how well their designs answer the specific combination of needs in this guide: storing pet supplies and accommodating a pet near the bed. I gave the most weight to usable, built-in storage, then looked at whether the frame creates a pet-friendly opening or nook and how much flexibility remains for other bedroom items.
That approach puts Merax ahead because it has six drawers plus an open foot end, rather than forcing buyers to choose between concealed storage and pet access. FUNKOCO follows for its mix of drawers, headboard compartments, and pet entry points. SOFTSEA and YOPTO are more pet-centered: each creates a defined nook, but neither lists built-in drawers. GarveeHome earns a place for simple, low-profile drawer storage in a queen frame, though it lacks a stated pet nook.
I also considered size, mattress support, and practical limitations stated in the product details. All five use slat support and do not require a box spring, but the frame sizes range from full to king and their storage styles differ. I have not treated an unlisted measurement or feature as a guarantee: drawer dimensions, pet-opening dimensions, and assembly time are not provided. The order reflects the stated features and their usefulness for this particular buying task, not a claim that every frame fits every pet or room.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Bed Frame With Under Bed Storage For Pet Supplies
Before choosing, decide whether the main job is hiding pet supplies, giving your pet a place to sleep, or doing both. These frames treat under-bed space differently, so a feature count alone will not tell you which one fits your routine.Drawers or open pet space?
Drawers keep supplies contained and make it easier to separate toys, spare blankets, and grooming items. Merax has six drawers, the most in this group; FUNKOCO and GarveeHome each have two. Open pet nooks on SOFTSEA and YOPTO provide a defined place beneath the bed, but their product details do not list drawers. Their open area can hold supplies too, although loose items may need baskets or bins to stay organized. A pet nook and supply storage can coexist, but they are not the same feature.
How much room does your pet need?
Openings and clearance matter if your pet will use the space as a regular sleeping spot. SOFTSEA and YOPTO explicitly create arched nook openings, while Merax describes an open foot end. FUNKOCO has pet entry points at the footboard. GarveeHome does not list a pet-specific opening. The supplied details do not give opening measurements, so check the frame’s full specifications against your pet’s size and movement needs rather than assuming every cat or dog can enter comfortably.
Match the frame size to the room
Size changes both fit and storage needs. Merax is king; FUNKOCO, SOFTSEA, and YOPTO are full; GarveeHome is queen. A larger frame may suit a couple or a pet that sleeps beside the bed, but it takes more floor space. The Merax is also listed at 185 pounds, while GarveeHome is 82 pounds. If you expect to move the bed or assemble it in a tight room, account for frame weight and route access as well as mattress dimensions.
Check the support and assembly details
All five use slat support and do not require a box spring, which can simplify the bed setup. SOFTSEA and YOPTO specify compatibility with foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses. GarveeHome and SOFTSEA list assembly as required; Merax is heavy, so plan for handling even where assembly information is not specified. FUNKOCO’s listing says fully assembled, but check the seller’s current delivery and setup details before ordering. The frame specifications do not provide every slat-spacing or assembly detail, so confirm mattress-maker requirements if compatibility is a concern.
Think through daily access and supply types
Frequently used supplies should be easy to reach. Drawer storage is useful for items you want out of view, but buyers should check drawer dimensions and access clearance because those measurements are not supplied for the listed models. Open nooks are convenient for a pet bed or a basket of toys, though items remain visible. Headboard compartments on FUNKOCO suit small objects you reach from bed, not necessarily bulky pet gear. Match the storage arrangement to the items you actually keep nearby instead of assuming all under-bed space will work equally well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which frame has the most built-in storage for pet supplies?
Merax has six built-in drawers, more than any other frame in this comparison. FUNKOCO and GarveeHome each have two drawers, while SOFTSEA and YOPTO emphasize open under-bed pet nooks rather than drawer systems. Drawer dimensions are not listed, so check the full product details if you need to store large blankets, food containers, or other bulky items.
Which options provide a dedicated pet nook?
SOFTSEA and YOPTO explicitly create under-bed pet nooks with arched openings. FUNKOCO has pet entry points at the footboard, and Merax has an open foot end, but their descriptions do not frame these areas in the same way as the dedicated nooks. GarveeHome does not list a pet-specific opening. Because no opening measurements are provided for the nook models, compare the frame details with your pet’s size before buying.
Can I use these bed frames without a box spring?
Yes. The supplied descriptions state that all five frames use slat support and do not require a box spring. SOFTSEA and YOPTO also identify foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses as compatible. I would still check your mattress maker’s support requirements and the frame’s current slat information, since the supplied specifications do not list every mattress-fit measurement.
Are pet beds and accessories included?
The SOFTSEA and YOPTO descriptions explicitly say that the mattress and pet accessories are sold separately. The other listings also do not state that a pet bed, toys, or grooming supplies are included. Treat the frames as furniture only unless the current product listing specifically names an accessory in the included components.
Which option should I choose for a small bedroom?
Start by matching your mattress size to the frame: the full-size options may take up less room than the Merax king, while GarveeHome is a queen with a low-profile design. The supplied details do not include room-clearance requirements for drawers or nook openings, so measure the bed footprint and leave space for drawers to open or a pet to enter. If floor space is tight, avoid choosing a larger frame just for extra storage without checking the room layout.
Conclusion
For the widest mix of concealed storage and pet access, I’d choose Merax, provided a king frame and its heavier build suit the room. FUNKOCO makes more sense for a full-size bed that also needs headboard organization, charging, and pet entry points. Choose SOFTSEA or YOPTO when your priority is a dedicated open nook: SOFTSEA is the black upholstered option, while YOPTO offers a beige look. GarveeHome is my pick for buyers who want a low-profile queen with two drawers and do not need a built-in pet nook. Before ordering, match the frame size, access openings, and storage style to your pet and the supplies you plan to keep close.
