TLDR.
- Bedside tables (nightstands) sit next to the bed and hold a lamp, phone, book and small essentials.
- Standard height should sit roughly level with the top of your mattress.
- Look for a drawer or shelf if you want storage, or an open design if you prefer a lighter look.
- Click Furniture stocks bedside tables with free nationwide delivery and buy-now-pay-later options.
What to Look for in a Bedside Table.
Height. Match the top of the nightstand to your mattress height so you can reach a glass of water or switch off a lamp without stretching. Most sit between 45 cm and 65 cm tall.
Width and depth. A width of 40 to 55 cm works for most double and queen beds. Leave enough depth for a lamp base plus a book or phone charger without everything hanging off the edge.
Storage. Drawers hide clutter. Open shelves keep books and baskets easy to reach. A mix of both is ideal for shared bedrooms.
Style and finish. Match or complement your bed frame and chest of drawers. White, oak and grey are the most popular finishes in South African bedrooms.

Placement Tips.
Leave enough clearance to open drawers fully without hitting the bed. If you only have space for one nightstand, put it on the side you sleep on most. Pair matching tables on either side of a queen or king for a balanced look.
