A subspace of a finite field is called a Sidon space if the product of any two of its nonzero elements is unique up to a scalar multiplier from the base field. Sidon spaces, introduced by Roth et al. (IEEE Trans Inf Theory 64(6): 4412-4422, 2018), have a close connection with optimal full-length orbit codes. In this paper, we present two constructions of Sidon spaces. The union of Sidon spaces from the first construction yields cyclic subspace codes in $\mathcal{G}_{q}(n,k)$ with minimum distance $2k-2$ and size $r(\lceil \frac{n}{2rk} \rceil -1)((q^{k}-1)^{r}(q^{n}-1)+\frac{(q^{k}-1)^{r-1}(q^{n}-1)}{q-1})$, where $k|n$, $r\geq 2$ and $n\geq (2r+1)k$, $\mathcal{G}_{q}(n,k)$ is the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$. The union of Sidon spaces from the second construction gives cyclic subspace codes in $\mathcal{G}_{q}(n,k)$ with minimum distance $2k-2$ and size $\lfloor \frac{(r-1)(q^{k}-2)(q^{k}-1)^{r-1}(q^{n}-1)}{2}\rfloor$ where $n= 2rk$ and $r\geq 2$. Our cyclic subspace codes have larger sizes than those in the literature, in particular, in the case of $n=4k$, the size of our resulting code is within a factor of $\frac{1}{2}+o_{k}(1)$ of the sphere-packing bound as $k$ goes to infinity.
