"My stand-alone glass-walled suite overlooked the dense KwaZulu-Natal forest, where baboons wandered freely. The bed was massive and impossibly inviting after a long day of travel. When I went to set my bags down, something unusual caught my eye: a small, mahogany-colored flap of leather peeking out from beneath the mattress on each side of the bed. Curious, I tugged on it and realized it wasn't just decoration."
"My concierge explained that the flap was a built-in bedside pocket designed to hold items I didn't want to lose in bed: my phone, a book, the A/C remote, and even my laptop. I'd never seen anything like it before, and I couldn't believe how practical it was. I knew I would need to incorporate a bedside pouch into my own bedroom."
A small, mahogany-colored leather flap installed beneath each side of a bed serves as a built-in bedside pocket for phones, books, remotes, and laptops. This pocket hides unobtrusively under the mattress while keeping essentials within easy reach and preventing items from getting lost in the sheets. The design blends natural textures and minimalist luxury suited to eco-friendly, nature-facing suites. Portable alternatives include felt bedside caddies that slip under a mattress or over a sofa arm to corral electronics and reading materials. Affordable commercial options are available, with some felt caddies priced around $16.99.
