How to choose a bed for the bedroom: 5 important nuances

Choosing new bedroom furniture, we imagine how it will look in the interior. How the room will be transformed and it will become comfortable and cozy. But just one mistake can ruin our hopes and expectations and bring more problems than joys.
Before you buy a new bed, which is ideal for the design of the room and will delight the owners with its large double size, you need to think about two important things: do the dimensions of the bed correspond to the space of the room, and does the size of the bed correspond to the size of doorways, stairs (elevator), corridor , etc.

Many dream of a large double bed, but before buying a good bed, you need to evaluate the space of the room. It should be remembered that the dimensions of the bed exceed the size of the berth by about 20 cm, and when measuring, you need to focus on the largest value of the width and length of the product. In addition, each bed model may have its own technological feature. For example, the headboard can be made at an angle or with extension to the bottom, which will also increase the space occupied by the bed.
When picking a bed with cabinets, the total width of all products, as well as the distance from the bed to the wall or window, should be taken into account. The farther the product is from the walls, the more convenient it will be for you to move around and refuel the bed. At the same time, the bed itself will not be subject to constant friction against foreign objects, which will save its appearance.
Beds with a lifting mechanism have a non-folding frame, so you need to think in advance whether there will be any obstacles when it rises to the apartment and whether it passes through the doorways. The double anatomical lattice, which is equipped with ordinary beds, also has an all-welded frame. The size of the frame in both cases is equal to the size of the berth.
To reduce the cost of some Askona beds, a technical fabric is used on the back of the headboard. This must be taken into account when choosing the location of the product in the room.

Bed Policy

When picking a bed with a mattress, you need to follow the recommendations for its maximum and minimum height. You also need to consider the weight of the mattress, based on the maximum allowable load on the berth. All these parameters can be viewed on the card of each bed model or checked with consultants.
In Askona beds, the size of the niche for the mattress is increased by 1 cm on each side. That is, ordering a product of a standard size, for example 160 * 200 cm, you will receive a bed with a niche of 162 * 202 cm in size. This prevents damage to the mattress by the frame, and simplifies the process of filling the bed. Thus, if you already have a mattress and you want to pick up a bed for it, you need to order a product of the same size, since the technological indentation is already provided for by the manufacturer.

The main goal of Ascona HC is to do everything possible to meet the needs of each person in a healthy and comfortable sleep

1. Strong foundation

Solid wood and metal are the best choice for a bed frame. These materials are strong and durable. Such a bed will last for decades. A more economical option is a wood chipboard with wood lamination. In this case, price and quality are directly dependent.

As for the form in which the material is invested - it all depends on your preferences. In a small bedroom, a bed with thin high legs looks more advantageous - this makes the frame more weightless and light. At the same time, deaf backrests will allow you to build a storage system under the bed - drawers are a great way to save space. Do not forget about the rollaway transformer beds that can be hidden in a closet, wall or catwalk. This is a great solution for small rooms.

2. At the bottom

The rack bottom or bed base is a slatted floor. It can be directly part of the frame or attached separately. In any case, its main characteristic is the number of jumpers. Thirty pieces is the minimum number for a double bed. The main function of the rack base is the load distribution on the mattress. Even the simplest bottom adapts to body weight and increases the elasticity of the mattress.

More complex mechanisms can be adjusted at three to five points, with the base taking physiological bends. Thanks to this, pressure on the hips and shoulders is reduced, which ensures the maximum level of comfort during sleep. The effect is similar to a professional massage session.

3. Soft spot

Hard or soft? Spring loaded, latex or polyurethane? The choice of mattresses is huge. The main thing is to determine the budget and basic requirements. A soft mattress is not the best choice for your back. Unless this option is conditional on your medical condition or your personal urgency. It is best to choose a medium-hard or hard mattress. Polyurethane and latex are synthetic fibers that are great for filling a mattress. At the same time, they provide good support and comfort during sleep. High-quality polyurethane mattresses have a memory effect, that is, they “remember” the bends of your body and provide maximum support during sleep.

Spring mattresses also come with a filler made of synthetic materials, as well as a layer of coconut palm fiber, which ensures the best air circulation. Springs are better to choose a pocket type. In this case, even if your bedmate likes tossing and turning in a dream, this will not bother you at all. And of course, do not forget about buying a mattress cover - it is hygienic and convenient: washing a mattress cover is much easier than putting the mattress in dry cleaning.

To avoid disappointment in the purchase, compare the reviews of other owners or ask questions on the forums. People usually like to talk about impressions, warn about shortcomings and share tips on which bed is best for a bedroom or a nursery, and how much a model costs in different stores.

1 What are the sizes of beds?

The first item that is important to decide on is width, length and height. It should be comfortable for a person to sleep, lie in a free pose while resting, or, for example, to put a child next to him and at the same time feel comfortable - young parents will understand.

So, let's begin. Allocate standard dimensions for the width of the berth.

  • One and a half - 140 cm.
  • Double - 160 cm.
  • Enlarged (known name - king size) - 180 cm.
  • There are two-meter models, but less often.

It is worth paying attention that the parameters relate to the bedroom place - the frame can be as wide as you like. Based on these indicators, choose a mattress.

How to determine the width?

Lorry is suitable for children and adolescents - those who will sleep alone. For sleeping, a couple needs a double furniture of at least 160 cm. If the family has a small child who often lies with their parents, a width greater than 180 cm, and preferably 200 cm, is permissible.

To choose a length, add 20 cm to a person’s height. If you sleep on a large pillow, then 30 cm. For people taller than 190 cm, individual measurements are needed - as a rule, the manufacture of such costs 10% more. Do not neglect this point - after all, sleeping with dangling legs is uncomfortable. It is better to overpay once, but then relax with pleasure.

Height

There is more variety, because depending on the style of the model, there may be different heights. For example, hi-tech beds with no legs at all, they are on the floor.

The standard is 50 cm. It is believed that this is the most comfortable indicator for a person.

The choice is determined by the age, complexion and wishes of the future owner. So, for older people, low options are not suitable - it is more difficult to get up and lie down from them. If the height is sufficient - inside make drawers for storing bedding - pull-out or conventional.

And low ones are suitable only for individual interior styles.

2 About the types of frame

Before choosing a bed for a bedroom, it is important to determine the design. As a standard, it consists of three elements: the back (headboard), sidewalls and legs, which serve as a support. Since there are so many designs now, the look of the frame is different, but the elements will be the same everywhere. Sometimes the legs are not visible, and the sidewalls play the role of supports.

To make a choice, consider the following rules.

  • The legs make the overall structure visually easier - it seems to “soar” above the floor. It is recommended to choose for small rooms.
  • Those models where there are no legs, but only “solid” walls - look more massive, besides under them it is impossible to remove dust and dirt. They are not advised to put in bedrooms for allergy sufferers or those who prefer a visually light interior.

Tree

Natural breeds have always been used in production. The price depends on the type of wood - for example, teak or wenge will cost the future owner expensive. But pine or birch - more budget. As a rule, they are ennobled: tinted to valuable breeds or veneered. Wooden frames are environmentally friendly, and natural breeds are slowly aging. Even after serving for many years, wooden furniture will remain aesthetic, with all the scuffs and crevices.

Premium class

Arpatek - one of the latest materials, which to the touch resembles velvet skin. The fabric includes natural fibers. The upholstery is thin, but very durable and sturdy - manufacturers promise that the arpatek does not wear out over time, like leather. Today it is the most popular kind of upholstery, but expensive.

Relax - a very durable fabric, which is also easy to clean. It is recommended that young parents or owners of pets choose it - in such families, furniture is “at risk”.

Budget segment

Jacquard - material with a pattern, which is applied using thermal printing or weaving. It is a hard-looking fabric, but durable. Furniture upholstered in jacquard looks expensive and aesthetically pleasing. There are different subspecies of the material, but we will not delve into their characteristics.

Shenill - soft and pleasant to the touch upholstery, half synthetic. Very durable fabric that is rarely creased. Among the fabrics of the budget segment, they are the most popular. Their quality is lower in comparison with relaxation and arpatek, but the average user will not notice this if he does not subject the upholstery to some increased tests - specifically stain, put hot and so on.

Flock - nonwoven fabric. It is made of sticky base and synthetic pile. Unpretentious, but not expensive.

Velours - fleecy fabric. It is quickly worn out, but for a sleeping place this is not practical - especially at the head, because there is a constant contact with the head and back.

Tapestry - Perhaps the most durable fabric from the entire list of budget options. It is difficult to cut even with scissors - therefore, durability is provided.

Eco leather - easy to clean. Such furniture is relevant for individual interior styles - for example, loft or industrial.

4 Additional features and storage systems

Before choosing the right bed for the bedroom, we also decide on additional functions. They can be a lifting mechanism and built-in storage.

For such structures, the base with a mattress rises - under them additional storage systems are often made. You can fold seasonal items or bedding sets. There are also designs with a lifting mechanism that help to clean a berth, for example, in a closet.

There are three types.

Manual. The mechanism of work is as follows - a person makes an effort, the mattress rises with a base. Definitely not suitable for those who do not have persistent physical strength: the elderly, adolescents. But such a modification is inexpensive, besides it certainly will not break.

Spring loaded. The lift for such mechanisms is equipped with springs, they take on part of the load and facilitate the procedure. However, users of such designs note their fragility - the springs wear out over time, and they have to be replaced.

With gas lift. The design works with a shock absorber - a cylinder filled with gas nitrogen and a piston. The gas lift is compressed under the pressure of the mattress with the base and takes on the entire load. It will not be necessary to make efforts to raise and lower such a structure - they are suitable for any person. Minus is the price. Much more expensive than manual modifications and spring ones.

5 Mattress

Hard or soft? Latex, polyurethane or mixed? Decide on your budget and requirements.

Universal - a mattress of medium hardness. The soft one is suitable for people with a healthy back, and on the hard one it is difficult to fall asleep.

Natural filler materials are not the best option. And polyurethane or latex is suitable. They well support a person of any weight. Read more about mattresses in the video.

6 Style and Design

Tips for choosing the appearance of furniture are always individual - it depends on the style of the room, decoration, and the wishes of the owners. But there are trends that we can observe in the design of bedrooms.

Professional designers often choose fabric upholstery for beds in projects. As a rule, this is a soft back with perforations - for example, a carriage screed or straight hooks.

Thin-legged models today can often be found in interiors in the aesthetics of the mid-century modern, as well as the Scandinavian style.

Try to visually “try on” furniture to the interior. If you make it to order, good salons offer 3D-visualization of the future room. If you buy a ready-made model, it remains to rely on your own imagination or make your own visualization using special programs. So it will be easier for you to make a choice.
