How to Lift a Storage Bed the Right Way

Storage beds are a modern lifesaver for anyone short on space, but lift them the wrong way, and they can quickly turn into a source of back pain. Whether you’re rearranging your bedroom or just reaching for stored items, using the correct lifting posture can prevent strain and keep your storage bed working smoothly for years.
1. Why Proper Lifting Technique Matters
When you lift a heavy object, even something assisted by hydraulics, your back and shoulders take the load if your posture isn’t right. Over time, this can lead to unnecessary stress, stiffness, and even long-term injury.
According to experts at Family Health Chiropractic Clinic, lifting safely starts with good spinal alignment and muscle engagement — not brute force.

3. Step-by-Step: How to Lift a Storage Bed Safely
Follow these easy steps to lift your storage bed without risking your back:
-
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
-
This gives you a stable base for balance.
-
Keep about one foot of space between you and the frame.
-
Bend your knees, not your back.
-
Engage your leg muscles to power the lift.
-
Keep your back straight and lift slowly.
-
Once raised, lock the frame using the safety catch before reaching into the storage area.
4. How to Lower the Bed Safely
Lowering the storage frame is just as important as lifting it. Here’s how to do it right:
-
Grip the rim edge firmly.
-
Pull the frame down smoothly until your arms are comfortably extended.
-
Push gently to close — the hydraulic mechanism will prevent slamming.
Tip: Keep your spine aligned throughout the movement. Avoid twisting or jerking motions that could lead to strain.

5. Organise Smart for Easy Access
Once you’ve mastered the lift, keeping your storage tidy is the next step to a clutter-free home.
