Product Overview
The Prepac Mate’s Twin XL 3-Drawer Platform Storage Bed offers a smart blend of extended comfort and intelligent storage, designed specifically for growing teens and college students who need more space without taking up additional floor area. With an extra 5 inches in length compared to a standard twin bed, this platform bed comfortably accommodates individuals up to 6’5″, making it ideal for taller sleepers who often outgrow regular-sized beds. The sleek black finish gives it a modern, minimalist appeal that fits seamlessly into contemporary bedrooms, while the three spacious underbed drawers provide practical organization for bedding, clothing, shoes, and personal items. Constructed with durable composite wood and plywood slats, the bed eliminates the need for a box spring by using supportive wood slats that evenly distribute weight—ensuring long-lasting stability and comfort.
Key Features
- Twin XL Size for Extended Comfort: Measuring 81.5″ in length, this bed is 5 inches longer than a standard twin, offering additional legroom and comfort for taller individuals such as teenagers and college students who require more sleeping space.
- Three Large Storage Drawers: Equipped with three deep drawers (each 20″ deep), these run on smooth metal glide slides for effortless opening and closing. The drawers are positioned side-by-side on one end of the bed, allowing you to choose whether the bed sits left or right to suit your bedroom layout.
- Platform Design with Wood Slats: Instead of relying on a box spring, the bed uses lengthwise wood slats that span across the frame to support the mattress directly. This design not only simplifies setup but also enhances durability and airflow beneath the bed.
- Adjustable Side Orientation: All three drawers are located on a single side, giving you flexibility in positioning the bed based on wall placement, room flow, or personal preference.
- Coordinated Aesthetic Options: Available in two attractive laminate finishes—Espresso and Midnight Black—you can select the color that best matches your decor. Please specify your preferred finish during checkout, as color selection cannot be changed after purchase.
- Minimalist Contemporary Style: The clean lines, flat profile, and rich finish enhance any modern bedroom, making it perfect for teen rooms, dorms, or small living spaces where style and function go hand in hand.

Benefits & Use Cases
This bed is engineered to maximize space efficiency without compromising on comfort or style. The Twin XL length makes it especially suitable for users who need extra room to stretch out, whether they’re transitioning from a child’s bed or simply prefer a larger sleeping surface. The three deep drawers provide generous storage capacity directly beneath the bed, helping to declutter living areas in tight spaces like dorm rooms, studio apartments, or shared bedrooms. Users appreciate how the sturdy construction supports daily use, and the metal-glided drawers remain smooth even when fully loaded with heavy items like sweaters or seasonal bedding.
The platform design eliminates the hassle of box springs—reducing setup complexity and maintenance needs—while the solid wood slats ensure consistent mattress support over time. Whether used alone or paired with a matching Prepac headboard and bedroom set, this bed delivers a cohesive, modern look that evolves with your space. Its compact footprint and vertical storage solution make it a standout choice for anyone looking to optimize small spaces without sacrificing functionality or aesthetic appeal.

Wonderful!
I ordered this bed along with the separate matching headboard for my first apartment at college last August. After having all of these pesky Twin XL sheets, bedding, mattress pad, memory foam pad, etc. I didn’t want to buy a completely new bed and have to get all that aforementioned stuff in a different size as well. Considering I was going to be using this for my next 3 years, I wanted something that could last in a college kid guy environment with 2 other suite mates. This wasn’t too much on the expensive side, but it also wasn’t super cheap, but, if I needed it to last, why skimp?When this got delivered to my apartment, it came in several different packages that were all VERY large. Obviously you can’t just order a bed and hope it comes completely assembled. I’ll admit, it was a bit of a pain to assemble it all, considering it came as just all these pieces of wood, nails, washers, etc. Thankfully there were no pieces missing and even one or two extra screws and other small hardware. It only took me about 2-3 hours to completely assemble everything, including the headboard. I did need to get one of my roommates to help me stand some of the pieces of wood up to screw them in, and also to lay the pieces of plywood (that the bed lays on) into the metal runners (which took about 5 minutes because the plywood is so bendy and likes to come out of the runners if bumped).It is an incredible bed set and so far it has lasted one school year. Now for 3 more summers and 2 more school years. It is wood, so it can scratch easily but going to a mattress/furniture store, or even a hardware store and getting a wood marker to color in scratches saves face and keeps it aesthetically pleasing. Highly recommend this set to any age. You definitely get your money’s worth!

Prepac Twin XL bed
I’m giving this extra long twin bed an excellent rating for many reasons! It was super easy to put together, extremely sturdy and it was promptly shipped. I was very impressed with how this item was packed very tightly and secure. The bed is extremely sturdy and well built. I was pleasantly surprised by its sturdiness and how well it all fit together once it was completed. Just really an all around great deal in price and quality. I also bought the matching end table and chest drawers and am just as pleased. By the way, no need for box spring mattress or bunky board for the bed. The six slats provided are strong enough to hold a memory foam without any sinking.Great buy! Great deal!

Pretty satisfied
I just moved into a new apartment and the moving company lost my bed, so I decided to buy this one as a replacement. The bed is on slats that run vertically. The drawers are right underneath the slats, so you can see the slats and drawers if you remove the mattress. The bed comes with no headboard. I am currently 20 years old, 5’6″, and around 100 pounds and this bed worked out for me really well. I don’t feel like the bed isn’t sturdy in the least bit. I don’t climb on the drawers or jump on the bed. The drawers open and close nicely and they were able to hold various arts and crafts supplies and my pajamas. The drawers are not very deep, however, so when you place clothes inside, it’s better to lay them horizontally instead of vertically. I like to fold my shirts vertically when I put them in drawers so I can see them easier, but I couldn’t close the drawer when I attempted to place them that way. The drawers pull out the same distance as seen in the photo, and do not run the full length of the bed.My major complaint is the size. The frame was a bit too long. This frame states that it is an “XL” size, but my mattress is still a little too small. There are gaps where the mattress curves, so it would be easy to drop something on accident, it fall through the slats, behind the drawers, and be lost for good. I had to put a sheet down on top of the slats to avoid this and to hide the ugliness of the slats showing.The assembly was easy, but I would suggest adding furniture sliders to the bottom because after assembled, this bed is very hard to move because it becomes heavy and tugs on the carpet. My bedroom has very long low windows that have ledges. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to push the bed flush against the wall, but its height was perfect and sits right below the little ledge. Overall, I think this was a good bed, especially a good “emergency” bed.

Good bed
First shipment came with the largest board broken into two pieces and the headboard and footboard were damaged where the foam packing leaked out of the plastic. They immediately shipped replacements which were fine. It is a long ways for packages this size and weight to travel, State of Washington to the State of Florida. Also, I had to tap out two of the swivel nuts, the 1/4-20 threads were damaged. Once assembled it looks great. You need some mechanical abilities to get the thing together because the instructions are vague. No problems at all with the quality relative to the price. Price was $25 less than the local big box store and I didn’t have to drive 22 miles to get it.

Satisfied with the bed. Assembly went well except for one fastener bolt which was stripped. Fortunately I had a similar bolt from another project which I adapted and used successfully. Without this there would have been a problem. Suggest that the manufacturer add a few extra bolts and screws at the cost of a few pennies. This could save some grief for others who might have the same experience.

Although the directions were good there was way too many pieces to assemble. Finished product was very nice.

Its a good value for a twin xl bed. The storage is nice. It could be sturdier for sure. The rail above the drawers is a weak point.
