Libra Wooden Underbed Storage Drawers, White, Set of 2 (Junior Vida)
9.4/10 editorial
OUR TOP PICK
Why it made the list: Solid pine drawers on wheels with easy-grip handles. They look like proper furniture in a child’s bedroom and kids can open them themselves.
Our editorial take: Libra Wooden Underbed Drawers (editorial score 9.4/10)
Most under-bed storage is a box you drag out on your hands and knees. The Libra drawers from Junior Vida are solid pine, sit on four wheels and have round wooden handles, so they glide out like a drawer and children can manage them on their own.
Each drawer is about 91 cm wide and 60 cm deep, so a pair fills most of the space under a single bed. At 20 cm tall you need to measure your bed’s clearance first. On our research, they’re the best all-rounder on this list for a child’s bedroom.
What we like
- Solid pine on wheels, so it rolls out easily
- Looks like furniture rather than a plastic box
- Kids can open them themselves
Watch out for
- Needs at least 20 cm of clearance under the bed
- Open top, so contents can get dusty
Verdict: Our editorial pick as the best all-rounder for a family bedroom.

How we score
Each product is scored out of 10. We weighed capacity, height and fit (most important, since bed clearances vary), ease of access (wheels, handles, lids), protection from dust, build and value for money. Scores are editorial judgements based on desk research into manufacturer and retailer specifications. We have not tested these products hands-on, and our scores are not Amazon or retailer customer ratings. Best Budget is our editorial value pick at the time of research, not a guarantee that it is the cheapest option today.
FAQs
How much space do I need under my bed?
Measure from the floor to the underside of the bed frame. Most picks here are 17 to 20 cm tall. The SONGMICS bags (#7) are 15 cm, the lowest on our list.
What is the cheapest way to store duvets under the bed?
Vacuum bags. The Amazon Basics Jumbo 6-pack (#8) is our Best Budget pick, and it works with a vacuum hose as well as the hand pump.
Are wheeled underbed boxes worth it?
Yes, if you use what’s in them often. Wheels stop you dragging boxes across carpet. Our top four picks all have wheels.
