An adjustable height storage chest with integrated cushioned backrest, which is used to extend the sleeping surface of a bed using connectors to secure it between the bed frame and headboard. Adjustable height is enabled by use of corner mounted legs, which can be positioned at a range of elevations using screw fasteners. The backrest is attached to a frame which is then connected to the chest to create a double-hung door for the chest which allows easy access to the storage area and an adjustable position backrest. Easy use of the backrest is afforded by a soft lift strap with and integrated release pull knob allowing single-handed raising and lowering of the backrest.
