Bedside Tables buying guide
Choose a bedside table that keeps everyday items within reach without restricting movement around the bed. Compare height, width, storage layout and the direction in which drawers or doors open before deciding which design fits your room.
What to compare before choosing
- Compare height with the mattress: A useful bedside surface should be easy to reach from bed without requiring an awkward stretch.
- Check the available width: Measure between the bed and wall or wardrobe, including clearance for bedding and walking.
- Choose suitable storage: Drawers hide smaller items, while open shelves keep books and frequently used objects visible.
- Plan cables and sockets: Consider lamp leads and charging cables, and avoid blocking sockets that you use regularly.

Frequently asked questions
How tall should a bedside table be?
Compare the table height with the top of your mattress. Similar heights are often convenient, but the best position depends on how you reach and use the surface.
Do bedside tables need to match?
Matching tables create symmetry, but one table or two different designs can work when room size and storage needs differ on each side.
Is a drawer or open shelf better?
A drawer keeps small belongings out of sight, while an open shelf offers faster access and can make a compact table feel lighter.
