Making a small apartment feel comfortable and functional starts with choosing furniture that works hard without overwhelming the room. Select a bed frame with built-in drawers or under-bed storage to keep extra bedding, clothing and seasonal items neatly out of sight. A platform bed with a slim profile can create a clean, open look, while a queen mattress may offer a comfortable balance of sleeping space and floor space in a larger studio or one-bedroom apartment. For especially compact rooms, a twin or full mattress can leave more room for a desk, seating area or storage cabinet. Measure the bedroom, doorway and stairwell before shopping, and look for a mattress in a box that is easier to bring into an apartment with narrow halls or limited elevator access. Create separate zones without adding bulky furniture by using a compact nightstand, a narrow bookcase or an open shelving unit as a subtle room divider. A lift-up storage bed, multifunctional ottoman or bed with drawers can provide practical apartment storage while keeping clutter under control. Choose light-colored bedding, streamlined furniture and mirrors to help the space feel more open, then add comfort with supportive pillows, a soft mattress protector and breathable sheets. Sleep Experts® can help you compare mattress sizes, bed frames and bedding essentials so you can furnish a small apartment with solutions that make the most of every square foot and help you sleep well so you can live well.
