However, this space can be used at will, placing inside bags, suitcases, clothes, or even books or various objects.

Generally we can say that everything we usually store in the closet of our bedroom can be arranged with maximum comfort in the space offered by the container bed. As for the design aspect, when the container bed is closed, it looks exactly like a normal classic bed, with a single uniform bed frame that covers the entire perimeter of the furniture.
