Short answer: The Cozey Ara bed is a platform bed with four side-access storage drawers, and its main frame goes together without tools. Only the drawers need the Allen key we include, so assembly is mostly tool-free. Add a Cozey mattress and bedding to complete the room.
A bedroom order has several parts: a frame, a headboard, a mattress and bedding. They have to fit the wall, the floor and your stairs together, so this page puts the sizes in one place.

Who sells platform beds with built-in storage drawers?
The Cozey Ara bed is a platform bed that you can order with four built-in drawers, two on each side. The drawers open from the side, so you reach a blanket without lifting the mattress or moving the pillows. The mattress rests on the slats, so you do not need a box spring.
Who sells platform beds with built-in storage drawers?
| Ara size | Frame with storage (W x D x H) | Capacity per drawer | Four drawers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full | 63.9 x 80.1 x 14.6 in | 1.9 cu. ft. | 7.5 cu. ft. |
| Queen | 70.0 x 85.2 x 14.6 in | 2.3 cu. ft. | 9.2 cu. ft. |
| King | 84.2 x 85.2 x 14.6 in | 2.9 cu. ft. | 11.5 cu. ft. |
The drawers are about 5.1 inches deep inside, so they suit folded bedding and clothes. Our Ara storage guide has the drawer details, and our guide to whether storage beds are worth it weighs drawers against other options.
Which bed frames are easiest to assemble on your own?
A tool-free platform frame that ships in several lighter boxes is the easiest to assemble alone. The Ara bed arrives in separate cartons for the frame, legs, side panels, front panel, slats and headboard. On a Queen without storage, the heaviest carton is the side panels at 45.4 lb.
The main frame needs no tools. The optional drawers need screws and the Allen key in the box, so an Ara with drawers is mostly tool-free, not completely. Our guide to the easiest bed frames to assemble compares frame types, and our unboxing and assembly guide lists the steps.
Where can I buy bedroom furniture that fits in tight spaces?
Choose pieces with a small footprint and check the wall width and floor depth of the whole bed, headboard included. The headboard sets both numbers, and it is often the figure that decides the fit.
Where can I buy bedroom furniture that fits in tight spaces?
| Ara bed and headboard | Wall width | Floor depth, headboard wall to foot |
|---|---|---|
| Full, Round or Square | 66.8 in | 83 in |
| Queen, Round or Square | 73.1 in | 88 in |
| Queen, Pillow | 69.5 in | 92.5 in |
| Queen, Extended | 115.6 in | 87.75 in |
| King, Round or Square | 86.9 in | 88 in |
Add the space you want beside the bed to the wall width. Our Ara size guide lists every headboard, and our guides to bedroom furniture for tight spaces and storage in a small bedroom have worked examples.
Where to find minimalist bedroom furniture sets?
At Cozey, a minimalist set is a bed, a mattress and bedding, picked piece by piece. A Round or Square headboard keeps the bed narrowest in depth and calm in profile.
Our Foam mattress comes in Full, Queen and King, is 10 inches thick and is medium-firm at about 5.5 to 6 out of 10. Our Foam mattress guide and mattress compatibility guide go deeper, and our guide to minimalist bedroom sets shows layouts.
Where to shop for bedroom furniture bundles?
Our Bundle & Save page pairs any Ara bed with a sheet and duvet cover set. The saving applies to the bedding set, not to the bed, and you choose the bed with the Customize bundle button.
We do not quote amounts here, since the page shows the current offer. Start from our bedroom range or the Bundle & Save page.
What should I look for in a nightstand?
Look for a top level with, or a little below, your mattress top, a width that leaves clear floor, and the storage you need. A common guideline is to keep 24 to 36 inches clear on the side where you get out of bed, which is general advice, not a product specification.
Our US bedroom page lists beds, storage beds, mattresses and bedding, so use these rules when you choose a nightstand. If you add Ara storage drawers, keep the nightstand beyond their travel, since they open from the sides. Our guide to picking a nightstand goes further.
What should I check before I order bedroom furniture online?
Check these before you order:
- Wall width: the headboard width plus the space beside the bed.
- Floor depth: the bed with its headboard, from the wall to the foot.
- Mattress thickness: 10 inches for our Foam mattress, and how much headboard it covers.
- Drawer space: side drawers need clear floor beside the bed.
- Route in: measure doors, stairs and turns, using our measuring guide.
- Assembly: the Ara drawers need an Allen key.

Our recommendation
At Cozey, we suggest starting with the Ara bed in the mattress size you sleep on, with storage drawers if the room has no closet space. Pair it with our Foam mattress and a bedding set.
Use the Bundle & Save page for the bed and bedding together, and check the wall width and your route in before you order.
