subject: Which Cabin Bed Is Best For You? [print this page] Cabin beds have otherwise been known historically as captain beds because the design was used in ship's cabins where space was tight and there was no capacity to store a sailor's personal belongings.
The efficient aspect about the cabin bed is the fact that you are able to utilise the internal storage space to put items such as bed linens and clothes etc. They are often manufactured from wood and have complicated designs which can make them expensive.
In order for homes to look less congested and save on valuable room, buyers of cabin beds have found the space saving feature of drawers under the mattress very useful. In this way cabin beds are much like bunk beds, being able to utilise minimal space in the most efficient way possible.
