How to choose a bed for your bedroom to ensure a sound and healthy sleep

Today, the range of furniture is so wide that choosing items that suit your interior and needs is very difficult. And the problem is not that there are none, on the contrary, there are too many of them and they are all incredibly beautiful. Each of them deserves to take a place in your home. The most difficult thing to furnish is the bedroom. A great many questions arise: how to choose a bed, what should the closet be like, what else can you not do without in the bedroom?

Particular problems arise with the bed. It just seems like you can just go into a store and pick up the first model you like. Once in the exhibition hall and seeing dozens of samples alluring with soft mattresses, people begin to be frankly confused - what to prefer?

Let's speculate. Sleep is a very important state for a person. During this period, the body restores strength, so the process should be serene, which means that the bed must be comfortable. When choosing it, you need to focus not only on the exterior of the model, but also on the features of its design:

1. Mattress.
2. Height.
3. Assembly method.

Let's talk about these nuances in more detail.

Selecting the size

How to choose the right bed size? To do this you need to get acquainted with their types. Beds are:

1. Single.
2. One and a half.
3. Double.

Each type has a standard bed length, which approaches two meters, but their width will be different.
– The width of the sleeping area of ​​a single bed is 90 centimeters. There are several models already. Here the width does not exceed 80 centimeters. Most often, such beds are purchased for children. If there are no problems with space, then you can buy a bed with a meter width.

– A one-and-a-half bed has a width of 110-150 centimeters. This type of bed can decorate a modest-sized family bedroom or even a children's room. It will be comfortable for everyone to sleep on them.

– The double bed is the widest. The sleeping area here is at least 160 centimeters. There are models where this figure is 180 centimeters and even two meters.

How to choose a bed size? What are they focusing on in this case? You should ask about the width of the bed and the overall length of the structure along the frame. Everything is clear with the sleeping place: the wider they are, the more comfortable it is for a person to sleep. The length of the chosen bed should also be comfortable. It must correspond, first of all, to the height of the sleeper, and only then to the size of the room. If you are a tall man and have a height of about ninety meters, then initially look for a two-meter bed, otherwise you are guaranteed to have dangling legs. You understand that we are not talking about proper rest in this position.

Not the last indicator is the height of the berth. In this case, there are no standards, but orthopedic experts do not recommend resting on low beds. They believe that the optimal height of the mattress above the floor is about half a meter. This ensures minimal load on the spinal column. Now you understand why sleeping on air mattresses and low beds is so harmful.

Options for bedroom beds by size

When choosing a bed, it is important to remember that there are several options for purchasing it. You can buy a ready-made bed, which will be made to standard measurements. And you can order a bed, taking into account individual preferences.

There are three most famous types of beds: single, one-and-a-half, double. Factories producing them use both standard and non-standard sizes.

The choice of bed should be conscious. This is especially true for the size of the bed. After all, it is more convenient to sleep on a wide bed, which allows you to change positions in your sleep, without the fear of falling or tightness. Healthy sleep and rest depend on the comfort of the bed.

• The height of the bed must be chosen according to individual characteristics. For a person of average or tall height, a low bed is not a very comfortable option. Rather, it is suitable for older people.
• The height of the bed should be higher than 30-40 cm from the floor, otherwise there is a possibility of drafts.
• The width of the bed should be chosen depending on how many people will be accommodated, their body type and sleeping habits.

Choosing a bed is a very serious matter. The main thing is that it must suit the individual characteristics of the sleeper. To do this, you must take into account his height and weight. Also, the bed should fit harmoniously into the surrounding space.

How to choose a proportionate bed?

1. Even if the seller assures you that the bed you like is a standard size, ask for clarification of the information in numbers. After all, beds are produced by different manufacturers, not only ours, but also foreign ones, and accordingly, standards may vary.
2. When you hear the numbers, make them more specific. Ask what size they told you: the sleeping area or the entire bed, then you will not have problems installing the product. The bed you choose is guaranteed to fit into your bedroom.
3. We have already talked about the standard width and length parameters. If you need something larger, you will have to place an individual order.
4. Give preference to a bed with the maximum dimensions that your bedroom can accommodate and you will not regret it, because convenience is paramount, and the wider the bed, the more comfortable it will be for you to rest on it.
5. The length of the bed, ideally, should be fifteen centimeters greater than the height of the person sleeping on it.
6. To find out if the bed is wide enough for you, you will have to lie down on it and fold your hands behind your head. If your elbows rest on the mattress, then everything is fine, you can safely buy such a bed. If your elbows hang down to your sides, then look for something wider.
7. Fashionable low platform beds can only be chosen by young and healthy people. The chronology is as follows: the older you are, the higher the bed should be.

Your knees will tell you how to choose the right bed height. Come close to the model you are interested in, and now look where the edge of the mattress is. It should be no lower than your knees.

But now, thanks to our tips, you know how to choose a quality bed for your bedroom! And no scoliosis is scary for you!

Bed models

Beds come in two categories:

1. Folding.
2. Classic.

The former today are more often called transformers and the demand for them is incredibly high. They are unsurpassed in use and do not take up much space because they are easy to fold and disguise. These qualities will be useful in small bedrooms, and will also be appreciated by people who have to move frequently. Prominent representatives of this category were the chair-bed and bed-sofa.

The second are structures made of wood and metal. They are often included in sets of sets for bedrooms or children's rooms, although they are no less common as a separate piece of furniture.

Design features

«If you have already decided to fully understand the question of how to choose a comfortable bed, then it’s time to look at the backs.”

Wondering how to choose a bed? Are you familiar with its design? Standard models always have a frame, base and backs.

A frame is a rectangular box assembled from four planks (tsars). Its support is the legs or back. This is the main part of the bed structure and the strength of the entire bed, and, accordingly, the duration of its “life” depends on the frame. Look at this part of the bed you have chosen. It should be made of metal or durable wood. The size of the frame must be commensurate with the mattress, otherwise the bed will not last long.

The foundation is the support. Most often, a linen drawer is hidden under it. The base is laid on the frame and looks like a metal, wooden or plastic lattice. The base of a single bed can have up to fifteen slats, a double bed, respectively, thirty. Wooden plywood can be used instead of slats. There is practically no difference, but if you plan to sleep on an orthopedic mattress, then your priority should be the first option, that is, a lattice base. This way the use of the mattress will be as efficient as possible.

The following recommendations will help you choose a bed with a good foundation.

– Plastic bases make it possible to adjust the comfort of the bed position. Their cost is high, but their strength compensates for this disadvantage. Foundations of this type will last for decades.

– Wooden slats at the base are a more economical option, however, a mattress lying on such a base will quickly begin to lose its inherent shape.

– The strongest, and also the most durable, bases are made of metal mesh.

If you have already decided to fully understand the question of how to choose a comfortable bed, then it’s time to look at the backs. There may be one or two of them in a design. Models with one back that parallel serves as a headboard are in great demand. If you like to sit, lean back and watch TV, then choose options with a high headboard without protrusions or reliefs. Maximum comfort will be provided by a high and soft headboard.

Models without a backrest at the foot are chosen by almost all tall people.

Choosing a frame

The bed frame is assembled in two types:

1. Four drawers with hinged backs. There can be either two backs or one, naturally, a headboard.
2. Side drawers attached to the supporting backs.

If the bed does not have back supports, a different support structure will be required. In standard cases, four legs are used. In the design of other models you can see wheels, an additional base such as a podium, platforms and more.

When wondering how and with which frame to choose a bed, you need to understand that the point is not whether it will stand on legs or rest on the backs, but in the name of the manufacturer . If the bed is made at a well-known world-famous enterprise, then it will last a very long time, while a non-branded bed will quickly creak and require repair. We cannot remain silent about the fact that a bed with legs fails much more often than those with other supports. However, this should not particularly influence your choice.

What is important is the frame material. The most reliable structures with frames made of metal and strong solid wood. By the way, wrought-iron beds are at the height of fashion today, so you can use them in your everyday life. Wicker frames are interesting and quite durable.

Fiberboard and MDF in a bed frame are not the best solution. The fastening points will definitely crack. As a result, the bed will become loose and squeak. Professionals, when advising on how to choose a bed, always talk about this. They also warn against chipboard frames. Although these beds are the cheapest echelon, however, you will have to change them with enviable regularity, because repairs will not even be discussed here.

What you need to know about the frame

The frame is, at first glance, an inconspicuous, but very important part of any bed. This is the basis of the sleeping bed, the choice of which determines the strength, durability and reliability of the structure. By adhering to the following recommendations, you will select a reliable and durable frame for your bed: 1. When choosing a frame, consider the following 3 main points

• Design
• Material of manufacture
• Compliance with mattress sizes

2.The frame and mattress should be almost the same size. Since a very small mattress or, on the contrary, a too large one will move out all the time. This causes great inconvenience, and the frame wears out faster under such operating conditions. 3. While in a furniture store, be sure to check the frame for strength: the number of lintels and gratings must correspond to the size of the structure. The larger the bed area, the more fasteners should be present in the product. 4. Don't skimp on buying a bed. It is better to spend money on a more expensive model with a reliable frame than on one made from low-quality materials. 5.Strong frames are made from valuable tree species such as:

• Ash
• Oak
• Beech

6. When purchasing a solid wood bed, be careful. Some unscrupulous manufacturers reduce the cost of the product by making frames “like wood”. 7.Beds not made from solid wood are usually painted in different colors. And natural wood has its own natural shade, which cannot be replaced by any paint. 8.Check the frame for authenticity. If you run your fingernail along the frame and a barely noticeable scratch remains on it, then this is a genuine model. If the scratch does not remain, then most likely this is a fake. The exception is hard tree species. 9.When choosing a bed, you should pay attention to the height of the frame. For example, an oriental type frame is almost at floor level. And traditional European beds rise above the floor at a distance of approximately 50 cm. 10. Also consider age when buying a bed. Elderly people find it difficult to get up from a very low sleeping place. However, there is no need to go to extremes. American-style products reaching a height of up to 90 cm are also not an option. Although they look interesting in the interior, it is inconvenient to sleep on a structure that is too high, especially for old people.

iDezz's opinion: Don't know which bed to choose for your bedroom? The most reliable and durable frames consist of solid wood and metal. Forged products look very attractive. Wicker specimens also deserve a good rating. Short-lived, but cheap, beds are made from MDF and fiberboard. Chipboard structures are the most unreliable and brittle.

Choosing a base

If the frame is a supporting structure that ensures the strength of the bed, then the base is responsible for the quality of sleep.
The main element in this aspect remains the mattress. It is purchased simultaneously with the bed, if it is included in the package, or selected separately. And here you need to be able to coordinate it with the base on which it will be laid. The base is the frame or lattice that is attached to the frame. Its task is to act as a support for the mattress. Frames are made of metal, chipboard and wood. Slats are placed on such a frame. Since these elements must be flexible, they are made only from plastic and wood. The more lamellas there are at the base, the more reliable the base is considered. A bed of this design will last much longer.

Few people know how to choose a good bed base. Remember, there should be a distance between the lamellas that does not exceed the width of one lamella unit.

double bed design with gas lift

Today you can still find beds on sale with a metal base (soft or hard), as well as with springs. They can hardly be called successful options, because our contemporaries are already well aware of the convenience of orthopedic bases with flexible slats.

The base is adjustable. For this purpose, the beds have a lifting mechanism, the so-called gas lift. You just have to lift the base a little and then it goes up automatically, without jerking. Under the base there can be a convenient drawer where it is customary to fold laundry. This is a very valuable improvement, however, such a box interferes with the ventilation of the mattress, which will need to be corrected somehow, because the latter needs to “breathe”.

The conclusion on how to choose a bed in this case suggests itself: a model with a lifting mechanism in the design and drawers should be purchased only for small bedrooms where there is a shortage of storage systems . If there is no such problem, then abandon this combined bed design and purchase the traditional version.

If you cannot decide what is better: to take a bed with a lifting mechanism installed or without one, then give priority to the first option. This will make it more convenient for you to dig through the existing lower-tier storage next to the bed.

Base

The base is perhaps the most important element of the bed; it is the one that must withstand maximum loads and be responsible for our good, and most importantly, healthy sleep. The base can be a sheet of chipboard or a structure made of metal and lamellas; it is called orthopedic. Let's compare them.

Bases made from laminated chipboard sheets are made to reduce the cost; according to manufacturers, this is a very reliable option, which additionally imparts rigidity to the mattress. There is some truth in this, but it is not at all healthy.

A base made of metal and lamellas (orthopedic) will cost you more, but it also has more advantages:

• Such a base rests on its own legs, which means it will reduce the load on the bed itself and extend its service life. It is recommended by all mattress manufacturers, even if they do not sell or produce it themselves.
• It evenly distributes the load thanks to its flexibility, which helps the spine take a natural position and have a good rest and relaxation during sleep, which, of course, will improve your well-being and allow you to be alert all day.
• This base significantly increases the service life of the mattress. Air circulates freely from the sides and bottom of the mattress, which means that all its layers are well ventilated, last longer and remain hygienic.

How to choose a good orthopedic base for your bed?

It is important to know that the best option for such a base would be an all-metal frame with a minimum number of connections and soldering. It is better to choose birch or beech slats.

Birch lamella bends well and can withstand loads of up to 40 kg per lamella. When purchasing, look at the side cut of the lamella, 6 layers should be clearly visible there, this is the key to the strength of your base. The base with birch slats is an excellent option in terms of price and quality ratio.

Beech lamellas can withstand a load of up to 50 kg per lamella; the layers of such lamellas cannot be traced.

It is important not only what the lamellas themselves are made of, but the distance between them. The permissible gap size is from 4 to 6 cm, visually this is 1 slats, but no more. They must be fixed into special grooves clearly and tightly; swaying, let alone falling out, is unacceptable.

If the bed is single (90*200), one row of slats is enough, and if it is a single bed (120*200, 140*200) or double (160*200, 180*200, 200*200) there should be two rows, for each bed, it is necessary with a support in the center. The support can be a metal leg or a linen drawer divider if the bed has a lifting mechanism. It is advisable to choose a base with its own metal legs.

Choosing backrests

Forging without backs is a lounger and sleeping on such a lounger is completely uncomfortable.
You’ll have to create your own convenience: move the bed to the wall or surround it with chairs. It will become somewhat more comfortable. No, if you put the bed against the wall and decorate the latter with easily washable material, then you can completely forget about the backrest. The role of the headboard will be taken over by the wall. But if you don’t plan to move the bed against the wall, then having a headboard is a must! How to choose a bed with the right headboard? Decide what function you will assign to it. Most likely, you will stop at the relaxation one. This headboard will provide you with a comfortable position in bed. You can lean your entire weight on this backrest and sit in such a comfortable position to read or rummage through your laptop.

forged headboards

In addition to physical convenience, the presence of a backrest gives psychological comfort. A person staying in such a bed feels safe. Many people simply like to prop a pillow against their back.

If you like to sit back before going to bed, choose a non-slat headboard. The back should be solid, without bulges or dips. The forged back also loses in this regard.

Which bed is better to choose for the bedroom: everything about frames, mechanisms and appearance

Today we are talking about how to arrange your dream sleeping place: what sizes and mattresses to choose, how to choose a bed with a lifting mechanism, what models manufacturers now offer, we analyze the subtleties of materials and upholstery. We explain the features of the frame and many other parameters that are important to know in order to make an informed purchase.

Before going to the store to inspect the assortment, take measurements of the room. This data will help with the choice - to cut off models that are too small or oversized. And also understand where exactly to install the sleeping place.

Designers recommend doing this closer to the window - natural light and air are important for healthy sleep.

How to choose a bed and mattress for it

The choice of mattress is a decisive moment in buying a bed, because this detail is responsible for the comfort of your rest. The new-fangled trend – hard mattresses – is best left to others, as are too soft ones. Listen to the recommendations of doctors and other professionals and look for a moderate-strength option. The best solution, naturally, is an orthopedic mattress. It comes in latex and with spring blocks.

Latex ones are considered an ideal option because they easily imitate the curves of the human body and can rightfully boast of durability. In spring models, everything will depend on the number of springs installed and their quality. The principle: the more, the better - works in this case too.

If you cannot take the step of choosing an orthopedic mattress for your bed, choose more acceptable options. Look at regular mattresses, for example. Here it is important to find out about the origin of the filler. They can be natural and synthetic. Natural materials used to fill mattresses are coconut fibers and seaweed. For allergy sufferers, a chlorofiber mattress is more suitable.

Which bed is better, or a few words about materials for it

“If you don’t have the luxury of choosing a bed made from natural wood, look at something simpler.”

The most important point in choosing a bed is the material from which the product is made. Today the production of beds goes to:

1. Solid wood.
2. Natural wood veneer.
3. Chipboard.
4. MDF.
5. Chipboard.
6. Metal.

Moreover, it is not so much the quality of the consumable material itself that is important, but its environmental friendliness. The bed should not be made of toxic materials or treated or coated with compounds hazardous to health.

All manufacturers consider wood to be the safest, and also strong, reliable and durable. Wood is very hygienic because it deactivates harmful substances by absorbing them, and thereby purifies the air. The most popular species for furniture production remain beech, birch, oak and coniferous trees.

If you don't have the luxury of choosing a bed made from natural wood, look at something simpler. For example, modern consumers like models that are made from laminated chipboard. The material itself is unpretentious, and beds made from it have proven to be quite easy to use.

All this, of course, is great, but this very chipboard contains glue, the recipe of which contains toxins. These substances can provoke allergic reactions. The same problem occurs with chipboard covered with a thin layer of wood veneer. The attractive price is neutralized by the harmfulness of the adhesive composition.

Plywood can be used to make frames. The material can be taken not only of high, but also of low quality. To avoid getting into trouble and purchasing a bed with a frame made from low-grade raw materials, you need to inspect the product. How should you choose a bed in this case? Concentrate on the quality of fasteners and the strength of the connections, take a closer look to see if the veneer is fraying.

Among wood simulants, MDF and fiberboard are considered harmless. However, today manufacturers have managed to start producing beds made of non-toxic chipboard.

Metal is a material not inferior in quality to wood. It is also environmentally friendly, durable, and practical. Metal reacts poorly to moisture, but current technologies have solved that problem. Metal frames are coated with paints and varnishes that protect against corrosion.

Bed making materials

The better the material of the bed, the longer it will last. Model options:

• Tree. A bed made of wood is environmentally friendly, durable, durable and safe to use. Models made of ash, oak or beech would be excellent materials.
• Metal. Such a bed will last even longer, having high strength. Forged fasteners are the most beautiful and durable, and have earned popularity in the sales market.
• MDF. This material is inferior to the above types, but is very convenient to use. Value for money suits many people.

Note! Chipboard is the most short-lived type of bed and has many disadvantages. It is better to buy a quality bed once than to constantly change it due to poor sleep.

Bed and bedroom style

When choosing the material and design of the bed, we involuntarily focus on the design style of the bedroom.
If you already have a Romanesque interior, then bamboo beds or some exotic wicker bed cannot appear in it a priori. Let's look at how to choose a bed that matches your decor style. In minimalism, a Japanese bedroom or hi-tech, platform beds are the place to be.

There are universal models. They are minimalist in design and feature a leather headboard. In cheaper options, leather is replaced by artificial material. Such beds can decorate a bedroom in ethnic, modern, classic and, of course, minimalist style. Leather, as well as high-quality leatherettes with dense washable fabrics, increases the level of comfort of the bed. It is always pleasant to lean on such a headboard: it is cool in summer and warm in winter.

Bamboo beds are created for tropical, ethnic and ecological interiors. Wicker models may appear in the same environment.

platform bed in vintage style

Forged beds await country, retro, Provence bedrooms. Since the headboard of such beds is not uniform, it is not very comfortable to lean on it, therefore, when choosing a similar model, take care of purchasing flat pillows for your back.

How to choose a bed for classic, antique, Romanesque interiors, because they are very demanding? Look for models with wooden backs that have inlays, overlays or carvings. Beauty requires sacrifice, so you won’t be able to sit comfortably in bed either. The carved headboard does not contribute to this. The solution is the same as in the previous version - pillows.

And some more little things

Having chosen a bed, place it in the bedroom so that the opening of the windows occurs unhindered. You should be able to freely approach the window without crawling on the bed. If these conditions are not met, covering the area of ​​the bed in an effort to open the transom and ventilate the room will become incredibly annoying.

How to choose a bed that meets the rules of bedroom ergonomics? You must take measurements and settle on the model that, when it appears in the bedroom, will have so much space between the closet, chest of drawers and bed that you can easily open doors or pull out drawers, and you will still have about thirty centimeters of free space left.

Do not move the bed close to the wall. There should be a passage of at least 70 centimeters. This will allow you to freely approach the bed and also make it comfortably. Installing a double bed close to the wall is a necessary measure and such a move must be decided upon in the absence of other options for furnishing the bedroom.

The perfect bed - designer tips and inspiration

In the bedroom, every corner should provide comfort and coziness, so the choice of furniture and decor should be treated with the utmost care. We turned to practicing designer Svetlana Yurkova to learn about the intricacies of choosing beds for interiors.

Svetlana Yurkova is a private interior designer with more than 10 years of experience. Repeated participant in specialized television projects, author of columns in the media, guest expert on the design of business portals. Svetlana Yurkova’s portfolio includes projects of private apartments and houses ranging from 30 to 500 m² in classical, Art Deco and Provence styles.

When choosing a bed, pay attention not only to its width, but also to its height. The ideal bed height is 75 cm from the floor to the top of the mattress. The standard width of the sleeping area for double beds is 160, 180 and 200 cm. For one-and-a-half beds - from 100 to 150 cm. For single beds - 80, 90 and 100. The length of the sleeping area is from 190 to 200, but if you search, you can find beds and up to 218 cm. If you need more, you will have to make an individual order. The ideal bed length is at least 15 cm longer than the height of the person who will sleep on it.

Choose and place the bed so that you can easily open the windows . There should be enough space between the bed and the closet so that you can open the door or pull out a drawer plus another 30 cm. You should leave at least 70 cm between the wall and the side of the bed - this will make it convenient to walk to the bed and provide the opportunity to tuck in the sheets, undress, lie down, and also do cleaning.

The most reliable bed frames are made of solid wood and metal. Beds with a wicker or forged frame are also quite durable - they will fit perfectly into an interior in a loft or Provence style.

Of all types of beds, the most cozy and comfortable is a bed with a soft headboard . Headboards upholstered in fabric look original and sophisticated and are very pleasant to lean on while reading books at night. If you haven't found a headboard that suits your needs, it can easily be made to order.

Don't forget about the furniture near the bed too. To complete the look of your bedroom, fill in the empty space next to the foot of the bed . It can accommodate a two-seater sofa with a straight back, a long bench, a chest, etc.

When choosing a bed, pay attention to the storage space underneath it. Here it is recommended to use models with a lifting mechanism . The bed frame creates a storage box located under the base.

When choosing a bed, its style is also important . For example, platform beds (podiums) fit perfectly into Japanese-style, minimalist and hi-tech bedrooms. Beds with leather upholstery are suitable for bedrooms in ethnic, classic, and modern styles.

Particular attention should be paid to bed linen . It should be natural, fit the size of the bed and fit stylishly into the interior.

Well, the decorative element of the bed, of course, is the bedspread. It can be supplemented with a special “crossover”, which is laid across the bed. By the way, an elongated lace tablecloth can also be suitable for this or a blanket folded lengthwise; they will bring a touch of rustic comfort to the room. Another option is not to use a bedspread, but to immediately buy beautiful bedding. You can also place another sheet under the blanket, but place it face down so that the pattern is visible when you peel it back. Well, decorative pillows of different shapes will allow you to create interesting compositions in the interior.

Practical advice

1. Before you buy a bed, inspect all its parts. Fasteners must be strong, the surface of the product must not have scratches, cracks, or chips. If the frame has been varnished or painted, there should be no traces of drips left on it.
2. Take beds only from environmentally friendly materials.
3. Request a guarantee for the quality of the product and its assembly.
4. How to choose a good bed without checking the strength of its structure? Feel free to lie on it. The bed should not wobble on the floor and squeak pitifully. Assess the firmness of the mattress. It shouldn't be too hard.
5. The only way to check whether a mattress is right for you is through experience. Lie down on the bed and place your hand under your back. If your hand is difficult to move through, then the mattress is chosen correctly.

6. If your bed is polished, it cannot be wet cleaned. With such care, the surface will quickly lose its shine and the top layer may even peel off. The polish is polished with flannel or velvet.
7. Beds made from chipboard and fiberboard cannot be washed. Dust can be wiped off with a damp cloth, but after this the surface must be thoroughly dried.

Conclusion

Sleeping on a good bed is sound and productive. If you know how to choose a bed, then there will be no problems with the distribution of the weight load on the sleeping place, which means you will always have good rest. In simple words - get enough sleep. Don't skimp on this element of your bedroom decor. The principle “expensive - correspondingly high quality” works unquestioningly, so buy the most expensive, widest, eco-friendly bed and a night's sleep will be a true pleasure.

It is difficult to dispute the importance of the role that our sleeping place plays for each of us. It is on it that we spend more than a third of our lives; it is it that regulates the energy level and tone of the entire body, determines our daily mood and health.

The bed in a modern bedroom should be functional

Today it is generally accepted that a bed is used not only for people to sleep, but also for storing different types of items. To do this, use the empty space under the mattress. For ease of use, it is equipped with drawers and special retractable mechanisms. They are made in the form of a wooden frame, are located in the bed, and can be pulled out freely using slats.

Bed base

The orthopedic base for the bed is called a lamella. It tends to spring back when you sleep on it, thereby increasing the effect of the mattress. For the production of lamellas, only strong wood is taken, which can easily cope with the load.

The best slats are those made of birch or beech - they are the most elastic. The choice of lamella directly depends on the type of mattress.

How to choose a bed. Price policy

What affects the price of a bed? Naturally, the price is largely influenced by the manufacturer, the cost of the designer’s work, the grade and quality of materials. How to choose a good bed, such that the price is consistent and the quality is acceptable? The answer to this question is quite ambiguous. Most buyers make the mistake of choosing goods from abroad, hoping for good quality. Of course, the price of a high-quality product from a domestic manufacturer is usually not low. This option does not suit everyone, so the consumer seeks to find something cheaper, but imported. And as you know, free cheese only comes in a mousetrap.

By producing inexpensive goods, manufacturers save on everything possible. One can only guess about the service life of such a bed and the quality of rest on it.

There is a profitable option in terms of price and quality. Of course, these are chipboard and MDF. In terms of external qualities, these materials are quite similar to natural wood, but, unfortunately, they will last much less. Beds made from natural wood and metal have an unlimited service life and can last forever.

Which bed is better to choose

First of all, pay attention to the area of ​​the bedroom, your lifestyle and try to calculate different situations as much as possible. In a room with a small area, folding or folding beds will fit perfectly.

A rectangle-shaped bed is called classic. The round bed is exquisite. The latest forms of beds are very convenient to use, but will only fit well into the decor of a large room.

Most often, when improving bed models, they resort to changing the shape and decoration of its headboard. If you manage to find and purchase the right option, your bed will be very comfortable and quite beautiful. According to experienced psychologists, a well-chosen headboard will protect you while you sleep and create a certain degree of comfort for you.

Modern manufacturers, when making bed headboards, resort to using different materials - iron, fabric, wood, glass.

It goes without saying that the style of the bed you buy should fit into the overall decor of the bedroom. The ideal combination of room furnishings is the main reason for the demand and popularity of bedroom sets. A chest of drawers, a mirror, a bed, a wardrobe made in the same style create a single style for the room; it is much more difficult to cope with this task by selecting individual pieces of furniture from different manufacturers.

How to choose a bed size

Choosing the right bed size is quite simple. The dimensions of your sleeping area directly depend on your weight and height. To obtain a comfortable bed size, you need to add head and leg room to your height. This will be approximately 20-30%. This is the first thing you should pay attention to.

Standard double beds are models with a bed width of 140-160 cm and a length of 2 meters. If these dimensions suit you and your bedroom, definitely opt for them and purchase them.

The lucky ones whose living space allows them to have a huge bed should look into furniture showrooms that specialize in the production of custom furniture.

How to choose the right mattress

Choosing the right mattress is a very important point when buying a bed. The condition of your musculoskeletal system and the quality of rest you receive will directly depend on its convenience.

For the consumer who has decided to buy a mattress with orthopedic properties, we advise you to choose a bed with special slats made of natural wood. Of course, it would be ideal if you buy both products as a set. In this case, you will feel their orthopedic effect to the fullest.

The product under discussion should not be too hard or, conversely, too soft. Owners of the first option will be too uncomfortable to rest on it; owners of the second will experience pain in the neck, spine and back in general. The material that fills the mattress also plays a secondary role. If possible, give preference to natural material, such as coconut coir.

When talking about how to choose the right bed, you should remember the individual intolerance of certain materials by your family members or you. Common allergies can be a barrier to purchasing a mattress filled with natural fibers such as seaweed or horsehair.

The presence of this problem will entail the purchase of a model with artificial fiber or foam rubber. It will not be superfluous to buy a mattress cover made of linen or cotton, which will protect against ticks, bedbugs and prevent the process of wear and tear.

Wardrobe bed

Such a transforming bed would be appropriate in a small room with a high ceiling.

This form of sleeping space will allow you to get a comfortable rest at night, and in the morning it can easily be transformed into a comfortable, spacious closet, saving you from the lack of free space for the whole day.
