Rather than a typical box spring, the base of the bed houses a storage compartment. With that in mind, there is one obvious perk to buying this type of bed: the extra storage space. If you are short on drawers, the extra two in the base are extraordinarily helpful. A common problem in smaller homes is the issue of storage for bedding.
