Bottom Line
When choosing an under bed safe, it’s important first to measure how much space you have under your bed. Not all bed frames are the same size, so not all safes will fit under all beds. Make sure yours is going to fit before you make a purchase.
Another important consideration is what kind of locking mechanism the safe uses. Since a bed gun safe is designed to be opened in an emergency in the middle of the night, you’re going to want a biometric lock that you can operate by touch, or an electronic keypad that lights up for visibility.
Finally, you’ll want to make sure to mount your safe to the floor. Even a relatively large under bed shotgun safe is small enough for two people to carry – a tempting target for thieves.
And that about covers it. We hope our bed safe reviews have helped you find exactly what you need.
