A bench is a charming seating option for furniture that can add comfort, function, and style nearly anyplace in your home. Two no-fail spots for a bench are near a door, or at the foot of a bed. Bedroom benches are great to use for a little extra seating, and as a storage bench that you can casually place extra throws, pillows, or magazines for on-hand comfort and entertainment. When looking for a bed bench at the foot of your bed, it’s generally recommended that bedroom benches be at least four inches shorter than the bed itself.
