Bedside tables
Small in footprint, surprisingly busy in practice. Bedside tables keep the nightly essentials within reach while giving lamps, books, and the inevitable glass of water somewhere to live. Compare drawer configurations, finishes, and dimensions to find the right fit beside your bed.
About bedside tables
A well-chosen bedside table brings order and charm to your sleep space, holding everything from your current read to your go-to lamp. Choose from 1, 2 or 3-drawer configurations across modern, coastal and classic timber finishes.
Styles, colours and storage options to suit your sleep space
Our nightstands are designed to suit every aesthetic, from sleek and contemporary to natural and rustic. Explore modern black bedside tables that make a bold statement, coastal-inspired white bedside tables that lighten the mood, or go for classic wooden bedside tables in oak, walnut or rich timber tones for a warm, organic feel.
Need to maximise style without compromising space? Narrow bedside tables are ideal for smaller rooms or minimalist setups, while our larger, more expansive designs provide extra storage and visual impact.
Choose from a range of drawer configurations:
1-drawer: Best suited for the minimalists.
2-drawer: Bedside cabinets for balanced storage and style.
3-drawer: Bedside chests when you need room for books, bits and bedtime clutter.
Whether you're after a matching set for that classic symmetrical look or love the mix-and-match approach with different bedside tables on each side, we've got options to help you create a sleep space that feels totally you.
Complete the look with bedroom furniture that works together
Your bedside table may be small, but it plays a big role in tying together your bedroom aesthetic. Want a cohesive, well-styled bedroom? Pair your new piece with our bed frames or tallboys for a polished, pulled-together look. Prefer a more eclectic vibe? Combining different finishes or styles can create a curated, layered feel that's anything but cookie-cutter.
No matter your design direction, our bedroom furniture collection makes it easy to create a sleep space that's as functional as it is visually compelling.
Timber, painted and ceramic-top finishes
The finish decides how a bedside table wears as much as how it looks. Solid Tasmanian Oak, as used in the Billy, and hardwood veneers bring natural grain and a sturdy feel. Whitewashed and painted finishes keep a room light and suit coastal and Hamptons styles. Some designs, such as the Azure, add a durable ceramic top for a refined, easy-to-live-with surface. Look at the hardware too: brushed metal handles, smooth-glide runners and self-closing drawers make a difference you notice every night. Several timber designs are made in Australia; see our Australian Made bedroom furniture.
Sizing a bedside table to your bed and room
As a guide, the top of the bedside table should sit roughly level with, or a little below, the top of your mattress, so you can reach a glass of water or your phone without stretching. Measure the height of your mattress and base together before you choose, especially if you have a pillow-top mattress or a tall bed frame. For width, leave enough space to walk past the bed comfortably, and in a smaller room consider a compact design with an open shelf, such as the Colorado, which pairs a drawer with an open shelf, rather than a wide chest of drawers.
A bedside table is often easiest to use when its top sits around the height of your mattress. Measure your finished bed height, including the mattress and base, before choosing.
Yes. Forty Winks stocks bedside tables with different drawer configurations, including selected one, two, and three-drawer designs.
No. Matching furniture creates a coordinated look, while mixing finishes or styles can make the room feel more collected. The practical checks are size, height, storage, and clearance.
Measure the gap beside your bed, including room for drawers, doors, power points, and walking space. Product widths vary, so use the listed dimensions rather than judging by the photo.
