under bed

Where monsters hide

Under bed describes the space beneath a bed frame, a zone associated with hiding, storage, and childhood fears.

It's where dust bunnies gather, boxes get shoved, and monsters supposedly lurk: Check under bed for my missing shoe.

The phrase functions as a compound modifier: under-bed storage containers.
