Quick verdict
For most people, the Mosconi 1-drawer, 1-door nightstand is the best buy: a known brand, it hides clutter and has a surface on top. If you want to spend little, the 3-shelf Sajo; and if you want design, the pair of floating nightstands or the modern Paparulo set.
What to look for before buying
- Drawer, door or open shelves — A drawer hides small items (glasses, charger, meds); a door stores more and hides clutter; open shelves are cheaper and handy for books or your phone. Many combine a drawer and a shelf.
- Freestanding or floating — Freestanding is the classic on four legs. A floating one screws to the wall and leaves the floor clear: it looks modern and makes the room feel bigger, ideal for small spaces.
- Height relative to the mattress — The comfortable setup is for the top to sit at mattress height or just above, so you reach your phone or water glass without stretching. Measure your bed first: nightstands run from about 45 to 60 cm.
- Material and finish — Melamine is the standard for price and durability. A good finish (clean edges, hardware that doesn't loosen) separates one that lasts from one that peels within a year.
- Single or pair — If your bed is against the wall, one is enough. If you sleep as a couple or the bed is centered, a matching pair on each side is best. Several models come as a set of two, cheaper than buying singles.

- Height: the top should sit at mattress height so you reach things without stretching.
- Single or pair: if the bed isn’t against the wall, a matching pair is best.
Our pick
For most people, the Mosconi 1-drawer, 1-door is the most complete buy: a known brand, it hides clutter and has a surface on top. If you want to spend little, the 3-shelf Sajo works; and if you want design, the pair of floating Koa nightstands or the modern Paparulo set take the room up a level.
Based on your case
To hide the clutter
If you like a clear nightstand, choose one with a drawer and door: store glasses, charger and meds out of sight. The Mosconi is that option, from a brand.
For a small room
A floating nightstand screws to the wall and leaves the floor clear, which opens up the room and makes it feel bigger. The floating Koa pair is ideal for that.
For both sides of the bed
If you sleep as a couple or the bed is centered, a matching pair looks better and costs less than two singles. The Paparulo and Koa sets come as two.
To spend little
A nightstand with open shelves is the cheapest and most practical for books or your phone. The 3-shelf Sajo is the cheapest entry in the lineup.

Frequently asked
Drawer, door or open shelf?
A drawer if you want to hide small items and keep a tidy surface on top; a door if you store more and don't want to see it; open shelves if you prefer books or your phone within reach and to spend less. The most versatile combines a drawer and a shelf.
What nightstand height do I need?
Ideally the top sits at mattress height or a bit above, so you reach things without stretching or bending. Measure your bed with the mattress on and look for a similar height; they usually run 45 to 60 cm.
How do you install a floating nightstand?
It screws to the wall with anchors, so you need a solid wall (brick or reinforced drywall) and a drill. It leaves the floor clear below, which opens up the room and makes cleaning easier. If you rent, note it leaves holes.
Is it worth buying the pair?
If you sleep as a couple or the bed isn't against a wall, yes: two matching nightstands on each side look better and cost less bought together than separately. Several models in this guide come as a set of two.
Are the prices and stock up to date?
