1. A super affordable, bestselling storage bench which actually folds down flat to just a couple of inches, so you can stow it anywhere in a snap.
Promising review: "You get so much more than what you pay for with this product. It is so easy to put together. It really ties a room together and in my case makes it feel more homely. Provides great storage (for my blankets and sheets)! Now, I love that it is so affordable, because when it does wear down I'll honestly order another one and stick this in the closet for storage. It folds right up ;)." —erinlequay
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
2. A velvet ottoman storage bench that's nice and plush so you can breathe a sigh of relief as you sit your booty down on it from time to time and say, to no one in particular, "Aren't you glad I bought this bench?"
Promising review: "I am just loving this wonderful storage ottoman and have to say I am blown away with how nice it is for the price. The velvet is soft and plush and the beautiful gray goes with any decor. I absolutely love this for putting at the end of a bed as you can sit on it and take your slippers off and it is super comfy for sitting BUT it can also be used solo on a wall for a sitting bench or anywhere you choose in your home. It makes a wonderful decor piece that also provides a seat and storage, so what more can you ask for?! I also love the easy to remove top that provides you a nice storage space for things like blankets and throws or you can store pictures and other items in there. Whatever you want. It just looks good. The legs also provide some style to the piece and putting it together was a snap. I just had to put the legs on using the tools they provide. Seriously...if I can do it anyone can. Great piece here and a great value, too. I highly recommend it." —Melissa Cushing
Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (originally $119.99).
3. A velvet storage bench to hide away any excess clutter you have lying around your bedroom that are sucking out all the positive vibes out of your sleep zone.
Promising review: "Perfect for the end of our queen bed!!! Exceeded expectations!!! Super easy to assemble and the upholstery is very soft and luxurious." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $155.33 (available in two colors).
4. A tufted curved bench evoking '70s mod in the best way — ideal if you're a sucker for "a little pop of color," except absolutely everywhere.
Promising review: "I have never bought a piece of orange furniture IN MY LIFE, but I thought this bench would be a pop of color in an otherwise muted color palette in the bedroom (rustic wood furniture, gray bedspread, white sheets). I was afraid that the orange would be a bit much, but was pleasantly surprised that it’s a softer orange-peach that looked FANTASTIC in the room. Not only that, but the 'wings' on the bench add a splash of style to the bedroom, as well. Add to THAT that the bench is actually pretty sturdy, yet comfortable. I’m obsessed with this bench. Absolutely love it!" —Kristina
Get it from Wayfair for $309.99+ (originally $349.99; available in five colors).
5. A wide tufted storage bench with ample room to fit all the stray shoes, pillows, blankets, extra sheets, emergency snacks, dog toys, and reading material your heart desires.
6. A linen bedroom bench with lift-top storage if you're in desperate need of somewhere to store your embarrassingly (or impressively) large collection of Beanie Babies.
Promising review: "The material is very nice and very sturdy, and true to the colors in the photo. I had only planned on storing a few bed pillows and a blanket in it. It's the perfect height to sit and put shoes on. I don't think I could do gymnastics on it, but this thing is much more solid than I expected for the price. I would buy it again anytime. Lovely piece of furniture." —LyndseyP
Get it from Walmart for $176+ (available in two colors).
7. A pretty pleated bedroom bench to transform your bedroom from "meh" to a veritable den of relaxation with everything you need to just...chillax.
8. An acrylic-leg bedroom bench for making you feel like an Old Hollywood starlet as you luxuriate at the foot of your bed in your nightie and slippers, preferably sighing in a sultry way.
9. A pleated bedroom storage bench that's one of those telltale pieces of furniture that conveys that you are a high-functioning adult who does their taxes (all of them) and has elaborate dinner parties and enjoys natural wine... even if you aren't.
10. A gorgeous animal print bedroom bench available in over 60 (!!!) super vibrant designs for whatever theme suits your whimsy, zoological or not. Plus, these review photos are to die for!!

12. A black bedroom bench with storage as dark and mysterious as your soul — but it's no mystery why purchasing this would be an excellent decision for your lair, both functionally and decor-wise.
Promising review: 'We have a king bed and needed something to sit on when putting on our shoes, but also something to help our 14-year-old lab get on the bed since it's now too high for her. She loves it and feels independent again. We love it because it has the storage, it's perfect to just sit on quickly to put your shoes on and is a really close match to our headboard." —Matthew H.
Get it from Amazon for $197.19.
13. A fuzzy vegan shearling upholstered bedroom bench with a foam-filled seat that not only looks like a big fluffy cloud but feels like one too (a cartoon cloud though, not an actual one).

16. A fabric storage bench you and your canine friends will love in equal measure, because gosh darn it, doesn't it just look like the comfiest place to nap you've ever seen?
Promising review: "I am sooo glad I bought this! I wanted something for toy storage, and besides the walker holds everything that was in the previous toy box we had, which was twice as tall. So that being said it holds more than I anticipated which is a bonus. Another bonus is that it opens and closes easily. I don't have to worry about my child getting in and out of there and having the top close on their noggins. Lastly, it just looks so clean, classic and that 'farmhouse' look everyone wants. I loove this and will definitely be recommending it." —S.C.

17. A versatile bedroom bench available in bright colors and prints, including faux leather, marble print, and this fun cow-print to bring out the interior designer I know exists in you at all times.
Promising review: "Had a little extra space at the end of my bed and thought a bench would go perfectly. I looked at a ton of benches and this one fit my measurements perfectly and (pretty much) matched my headboard (the entire bedding is from Amazon, actually). This was super easy to assemble, just screw in the legs. The fabric is like a velour feel, soft to the touch. This bench is way more sturdy than I expected it to be. Great bench for the price. Love it!" —Holly Thompson
Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in 16 colors/designs).

Promising review: "I love this bench so much! It arrived in perfect condition and is sturdy and well crafted. The upholstery had a slight odor upon arrival, but it faded within a few days. It’s a quality, unique piece that was surprisingly cheaper than a lot of other alternatives." —graciecakes
Get it from Anthropologie for $498.
19. A roller arm bench that, yes, is so nice and wide it resembles a fainting couch from the 1800s, so you can pretend you're a delicate maiden who just needs to sit down for a sec and catch your breath... ten times a day.

Promising review: "I love this bench! It is nicely upholstered and a very comfortable seat. The fabric is blue with a teal undertone. The wood finish is consistent overall and well done. The instructions were very easy to follow and the assembly yielded a very sturdy high quality piece of furniture. I am more than satisfied with this purchase and am considering a second for another room." —Carol B
Get it from Amazon for $112.53.

Promising review: "This bench is a true statement piece that always invites compliments. The modern shape and neutral color is fabulous.
