Every home accumulates things that are needed twice a year: winter quilts, a suitcase, holiday boxes, a spare set of pillows. This queen lift-up storage bed puts them under the mattress instead of in a closet. The platform lifts on soft-close gas struts with a hand strap, opening 9.5 in of clearance across the full footprint of the bed, and lowers again just as quietly. The headboard takes a wingback shape with exquisite tufting and a soft sponge fill, wrapped in breathable linen fabric that is pleasant to lean against for reading. A mattress stopper keeps an 8 in mattress from shifting when the platform is raised or lowered, and the 82 x 60 in surface gives a queen mattress full support without a box spring. Underneath, slats snap quickly into place for a faster build, a strong center support prevents sinking or warping, and reliable support feet steady the frame for a capacity of 600 lbs. The lifting mechanism handles up to 110 lbs.
