The AF-DA13 turns the empty space under a mattress into real storage. The entire sleeping platform lifts on gas struts to open a deep compartment that runs the full footprint of the bed, room for bedding, luggage, seasonal clothing, or anything a bedroom has nowhere else to keep. It is a clean, hidden alternative to drawers, with no rails to clear and no boxes sliding around. Built across every size from Twin to Cal King and rated as high as 1200 lbs, it is a sturdy, space-saving base for any bedroom that runs short on storage.

Lift-up storage that uses the whole bed

Unlike a drawer bed that only reaches a few inches in from the side, the AF-DA13 opens the entire area beneath the mattress. The platform raises on gas struts, so even a loaded bed lifts smoothly with one hand and holds open while it is packed or unpacked. The compartment underneath spans the full length and width of the frame, which is far more usable space than side drawers can offer. For a small bedroom, a guest room, or any home short on closet space, that hidden volume is the whole reason to choose this bed.

Gas struts make it effortless

The lift mechanism is built around gas struts, the same kind used on a car hatchback. They carry most of the weight of the platform and mattress, so raising the bed takes light effort rather than a heavy pull, and the struts hold the platform open safely while a user reaches inside. Lowering it is just as controlled, with no slamming. That smooth, assisted motion is what makes daily use practical, because a storage bed that is hard to open simply does not get used.

Heavy-duty and made to last

The AF-DA13 is built strong. Twin and Twin XL hold up to 800 lbs, while Full, Queen, King, and Cal King are rated to 1200 lbs, well beyond ordinary frames and a sign of the steel structure underneath. That strength matters in a storage bed, which carries both the sleepers and a loaded compartment below. A knock-down design lets it ship flat by parcel rather than freight, keeping delivery affordable, and it assembles into a solid, rattle-free base.

Sizes and specifications

The AF-DA13 covers the full size range: Twin 75 by 37, Twin XL 80 by 37, Full 74 by 53, Queen 60 by 80, King 76 by 80, and Cal King 72 by 84 inches. Weight capacity is 800 lbs for Twin and Twin XL and 1200 lbs for the larger sizes. It uses a knock-down design and ships parcel-ready. Fabric, finish, and branding can be customized for an OEM or white-label program, with a minimum of 50 units per size.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the storage on the AF-DA13 work?

The whole top of the bed lifts up on gas struts, opening a deep compartment that covers the entire area under the mattress. It is a lift-up ottoman design, so the storage is the full size of the bed rather than the narrow reach of side drawers.

Is it hard to lift when the bed is made?

No. Gas struts carry most of the weight, so the platform rises with light effort even with a mattress and bedding on top, and they hold it open while you reach inside. Lowering it is smooth and controlled, with no slamming.

How much weight does it hold?

Twin and Twin XL are rated to 800 lbs, and Full, Queen, King, and Cal King to 1200 lbs. That is well above a standard frame, which suits a storage bed carrying both sleepers and a full compartment underneath.

Is the storage better than a bed with drawers?

For total space, yes. Drawers only reach a short way in from the side, while the lift-up design opens the entire footprint of the bed. There are also no drawer rails to leave clearance for, so the bed can sit closer to a wall.

Does it ship flat and assemble easily?

Yes. The knock-down design packs flat for parcel shipping, which keeps delivery cheap and quick. It assembles into a sturdy base, and once together the gas-strut mechanism needs no further setup.
