Nightstands

Choose a nightstand based on your mattress height, room size, and daily storage needs. A good bedside table should be easy to reach from bed and have enough space for a lamp, phone, book, glasses, or nighttime essentials.

A nightstand usually works best when the top is close to the height of your mattress. Measure from the floor to the top of the mattress, then compare that number with the product dimensions.

One nightstand works well for smaller bedrooms or beds placed near a wall. Two matching nightstands create a more balanced look, especially for queen or king beds, and give both sides of the bed useful storage.

Drawers are useful for keeping small items hidden, while open shelves are good for books, baskets, or display pieces. A nightstand with both open and closed storage gives you the most flexibility.
