Why Choose a Gas Lift Storage Bed?

A gas lift storage bed keeps your bedroom clean and clutter-free without giving up a single metre of floor space.

  • Space-saving: The full base opens upward, tucking bulky items like linen, luggage, and seasonal clothing completely out of sight.
  • Effortless access: A gentle lift raises the entire platform on hydraulic pistons; no bending, pulling, or wrestling with drawers is required.
  • Built to last: NZ-made from solid pine timber and durable plywood, built to handle years of daily use without complaint.

Every bedroom benefits from that kind of storage paired with a clean finish.

Benefits of Hidden Storage Beds

For smaller NZ homes and Auckland apartments, a hidden storage bed serves as an extra wardrobe without taking up any additional floor space.

  • Clutter-free: Everything stays locked inside the base, so your bedroom looks put-together whether the bed is made or not.
  • Customisable: Over 50 premium fabrics and multiple base heights mean the bed fits your room, not the other way around.
  • Versatile: The deep cavity takes duvets, pillows, spare bedding, and off-season clothing with room left over.

Less furniture crowding the room means more space to actually live in it.

How Hydraulic Gas Lift Beds Work

Pressurised gas cylinders, the same technology behind car bonnets and office chairs, carry the full weight of the mattress platform as it lifts.

Light upward pressure at the base is enough to engage the pistons, which hold the platform steady while you access the storage below. One gentle push brings it back down, smooth and controlled every time.

Gas Lift Bed vs Hinged Lift Bed vs Drawer Bed Base

All three of Elegant Furniture's storage bed bases give you hidden space without adding extra furniture to the room. The right pick comes down to how the mechanism opens, how much you're storing, and how often you need to get to it.
