The best bed for your cash stash

I’d like to preface this by confirming that I am aware stashing cash under a mattress is not the best solution to our current economic troubles. This blog post does not suggest stashing cash in your mattress, it only seeks to reveal the best options for doing so.

Another plus for this bed is its modern design.
Ticking both boxes of disguise and style, Italian company Presotto has beds where the base can be used for storage, accessible by lifting up the mattress.
Plenty of room to stash lots of cash – like if you’ve earned a big bonus.
However, it seems those who fair the best when it comes to selection, are children. I guess it’s your call whether you're comfortable keeping your money stashed in their bedrooms. You know your kids better than me. They might be greedy.
I cannot put into words the joy this bed would have brought me a couple decades ago.
Although I’m not sure I could verbalize how I felt about this one:
