A mates bed, commonly called a captains bed, is an excellent multi functional solution for furnishing a child's bedroom. Mates beds are available as twin mates beds or full mates beds, both containing under bed storage. A mate's bed typically has a single row or layer of drawers underneath the bed. Captains beds have two rows or layers of storage drawers, raising the level of the bed but maximizing storage capacity. Kids captains beds assist Mom in keeping a pirate's bounty stored neatly away and safe from swashbucklers roaming the high seas.
