If you want to revamp your bedroom and add some classic charm, a bedroom bench is an excellent way to make it happen. Bedroom benches come with lots of functionality while instantly elevating your sleeping space with high-end appeal. 
 
Whether you want style, storage, functionality (or all of the above), you're sure to find the perfect option for the foot of your bed. In this guide, learn how to use a bench seat in your bedroom and discover some of our favorite selections. 
<h2>Why you should add a bench at the foot of your bed</h2>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/avenue-upholstered-tufted-bench-weathered-burnished-brown"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169326" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/image6-21.png" alt="bedroom bench: Avenue Upholstered Tufted Bench Weathered Burnished Brown" width="975" height="777" /></a>
 
Many people who keep a bench at the end of the bed use it every day. Like a favorite jacket or pair of shoes, the right bedroom bench adds essential function and style to your space. If you're on the fence about upgrading your bedroom furniture with extra seating and storage, here are three reasons to go for it: 
<ol>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Style: Bedroom benches are a great way to tie your decor together and show off your personality. They can add extra detail to a room, giving it that interior designer polish without maxing out the credit card. </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Storage: Many bedroom benches feature extra storage for spare blankets, pillows, shoes, or anything else you need to tuck away. Even if your bench doesn't have hidden storage, it's a perfect spot to store decorative throw pillows while you're sleeping.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Practicality: An accent bench at the end of your bed adds serious functionality that goes beyond storage. You can use it as a seating option for getting dressed, a place to set your stuff at the end of the day, or even to exercise (hello, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYIUPRMm13A">bench workout</a>!). If the bench has a back and a comfy seat cushion, it's also an ideal spot to catch up on some reading. </li>
</ol>
<h2>Picking the right bedroom bench</h2>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/bench-with-lower-shelf-beige-and-burnished-oak"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169325" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/image5-21.png" alt="bedroom bench: Bench With Lower Shelf Beige And Burnished Oak" width="1511" height="778" /></a>
 
Even if you have a bench in the <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/dining-room-design-101">dining room</a>, <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/living-room-design-101">living room</a>, or <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/entryway-furniture">entryway</a>, deciding on the perfect bedroom bench can be challenging. Below are a few tips to help you make the right choice.
<h3>Look for features you'll use</h3>
Most benches are made with a purpose in mind. A dining bench, for example, is meant to offer comfortable seating at the dining table. A mudroom bench might feature a spot for shoe storage. A living room bench might serve as a storage ottoman and footrest. Along the same lines, consider what you’d want from a bench at the foot of your bed. 
 
A wood bench or any bench with a hard seat is generally geared more towards aesthetics and less towards comfort. Meanwhile, an upholstered bench has comfort in mind, especially if it features a back. A storage bench might have a flip-top, baskets, cubbies, or drawers to stash small accessories, shoes, blankets, or extra pillows.
<h3>Think about styling</h3>
Look for an end-of-bed bench that coordinates well with your other bedroom furniture while offering another function you value, such as storage or a comfy seat. Contrast and texture are also important. Even if you pick similar colors and styles, an eye-catching textile such as faux fur can create some serious dimension. 
<h3>Consider what's practical<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/alderwood-upholstered-bench-french-grey"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169324" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/image4-23.png" alt="bedroom bench: Alderwood Upholstered Bench French Grey" width="1242" height="782" /></a></h3>
You don't want a bench that's too bulky for your bedroom, so consider the height, length, and depth before you buy. A bedroom bench shouldn't be taller than your bed, so that's an excellent place to start. 
 
Next, think about the width of your bed. To avoid stubbing your toe in the morning, find a bench that leaves about a foot of space on either end instead of the length being flush with your bed. The <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/alderwood-upholstered-bench-french-grey">Alderwood upholstered bench and bed setup</a> in the photo above is an example of appropriate sizing. 
 
Depth is also important. You don't want a bulky bench that's inconvenient or hazardous to walk around. Slimmer benches leave more floor space and help you avoid stubbing your toes. 
<h2>Other bedroom bench options </h2>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/heidi-upholstered-bench-metallic-platinum"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169320" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/image1-27.png" alt="bedroom bench: Heidi Upholstered Bench Metallic Platinum" width="785" height="749" /></a>
 
Benches aren't the only furniture you can put at the end of your bed. You have a range of possibilities, depending on your space and needs. 
 
For example, you might add a <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/living-room/sofas-sectionals-loveseats-living-room/loveseats-sofas-sectionals-loveseats-living-room">loveseat </a>or <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/bedroom/accent-chairs-bedroom">accent chairs </a>to create a peaceful sitting area. Or you could create some character in your space with a <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/living-room/chaise-lounge-chairs-settees-living-room">chaise lounge</a> or <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/square-upholstered-floor-pouf-cream-and-black">pouf</a>. If you want storage, a <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/accents/cabinets-chests-accents/chests-cabinets-chests-accents">chest or trunk</a> can offer more space.
