11 tips for choosing the right bed

The bedroom in any house or apartment is, first of all, an indicator of the style and personality of the people living here. In the bedroom apartments, we spend the most calm and pacifying part of our lives. Therefore, it is so important to pay special attention to the design of this room, which should correspond to your need for a good rest during a night's sleep. And, of course, the main thing in any bedroom is the bed, on which you will completely sleep and the mood with which you will wake up every morning.

Features

Interior models differ from ordinary beds in a special stylistic component, which is based on one or another original design idea. It can be anything: from a non-standard form or outlandish colors to exclusive highly artistic details in the design.

It can also be beds made from materials non-traditional for this piece of furniture, with a peculiarly decorated headboard or on fancy legs. The berth can be made in the form of the most unthinkable objects - everything that only the imagination of modern designers can allow to realize bizarre modifications. Most often, interior beds are made to order according to exclusive author's sketches.

Of course, for most inhabitants, the most important thing in a bed is its convenience and functionality, and not the original appearance. But with the competent use of modern technology, advanced designers of upholstered furniture manage to coordinate among themselves these seemingly not completely incompatible characteristics.

Therefore, the most important feature of interior beds is a combination of an exclusive style that matches the general theme of the room and their basic functionality. With all its originality, interior beds remain a comfortable berth that meets all the basic requirements of environmental friendliness and safety during your vacation.

One of the most popular design developments is considered to be ultra comfortable interior beds. with lifting gear a wide variety of modifications.

These models have an additional large niche for storing bedding. The section for things is located under the base of the bed and opens with a special lifting mechanism. At the same time, the storage niche is so impressive that it can easily take on the function of a small linen closet.

In most models of this type, the sleeping bed is equipped with an orthopedic mattress, which is necessary for a healthy and good rest. These beds look very stylish and elegant in the interior, so they will be harmonious in the bedroom of almost any style.

Another of the favorite types of furniture for urban bedrooms is soft interior beds, some of which are also available with a lifting mechanism.

In this category there are models with a soft headboard, and beds fully upholstered in soft-touch fabric, as well as natural or artificial leather. Such furniture in the interior looks very unusual and attractive, while it has increased comfort and creates a special cosiness in the room.

In the children's bedroom, a soft bed of bright colors will be not only an interior decoration, but also the safest piece of furniture for your overly active kids. For the convenience of caring for this type of bed, some manufacturers offer removable covers, which, if necessary, can be dry cleaned or washed independently.

No. 1. Size and shape of the bed

When choosing a bed, it is necessary to focus on the growth of those who will rest on it, as well as on the size of the room. The rule is simple: buy the largest bed that can fit in the bedroomwithout interfering with free movement. Asking the parameters of a particular model in the store, you can hear the answer that the bed size is standard, but it’s better to clarify and ask for the exact data in centimeters, since the standards in different countries may vary:

• single bed in width can be 80 cm, 90 cm, and sometimes all 100 cm,
• width one and a half beds from 100 to 150 cm,
• double bed has a width of at least 160 cm, a popular option is 180 cm, but there are "royal" beds with a width of 200 cm.

Standard bed length - 190 cm, less often there are models 200 cm long. If you look, you can find a bed and 218 cm in length, and if you need a berth even more, you will have to make a bed to order.

When choosing the optimal bed size, consider these recommendations:

• length the bed should be at least 10 cm (and preferably 15 cm) more than the height of the one who will sleep on it. If this is a pair, then it’s natural to take into account the growth of the one
• that width will be correct, in which a vacationer in his half can calmly throw his hands behind his head and not disturb someone lying nearby. If we are talking about a single option, then in this case the elbows should fit completely on the bed, without going beyond it,
• between the bed and a nearby object (wall, piece of furniture, etc.) must be at least 70 cm of free spaceso that you can freely approach the bedroom and put a bedside table,
• bed height should be such that to get up and go to bed was as easy as possible. The older the person, the more attention should be paid to this parameter. If the young even fit low podium beds, then for an older person it is better to choose a higher bed. Most models have a height of 50-90 cm. The ideal height is when the top edge of the mattress reaches the level of the knees next to it or even is above this level.

As for forms, then it is better to stop at the traditional rectangular one, and realize your design fantasies in unusual decor and bright textiles. Bed round, oval, arched or in the form of a heart It looks impressive, but can cause a lot of problems: from inconvenience during sleep to difficulties with the selection of bed linen and rugs. All will have to be sewn individually.

No. 2. Bed frame design

The bed consists of a base, where the mattress is placed, and a frame, on which the base rests. The frame may include backrests head and foot, supports (legs, podium) and tzars (these are the side panels of the bed).

The frame can be one of these two types:

• two supporting backs and two lateral drawers,
• four tsars and one or two hinged backs. Supports in this case are legs or wheels.

Which type of frame is better is hard to say for sure. If the bed is made with high quality, then in any case it will be durable, and low-quality copies will soon begin to creak. However, the samples on the supporting backs show themselves somewhat better than the models on the legs. Supports of a larger area break much less often than legs, but a bed on legs looks more airy and weightless.

Number 3. Bed material

High-quality bed material is the key to the durability of the product. There may be several options:

• solid wood - the most preferred material. These beds have maximum durability and strength, they are environmentally friendly and safe. The most durable frames will be made of oak, ash and beech, but you can find a good option in a more affordable category,
• metal also shows record durability, has a high service life is durable. Made of metalwelded and forged beds. The second option, of course, looks more refined and elegant and today, by the way, is at the peak of popularity,
• MDF bed cheaper, but in many ways inferior to wood and metal. Such products look good, do not cause harm to health, but their service life until the first breakdown is slightly lower than that of wooden counterparts. In terms of price / quality ratio, this is the most attractive option on the market, so these beds are very popular,
• beds made of fiberboard and particleboard they are cheaper than everyone, they do not last long, they quickly creak, and then completely crumble. Buying a bed from particleboard is a necessary measure when the budget is very limited, but even in this case it is necessary to look at safety certificates and pay attention to the level of formaldehyde emission (products of level E0 and E1 can be used in residential premises).

MDF, particleboard and fiberboard can be laminated and repeat the pattern with any kind of wood or stone, can be painted or veneered, therefore, outwardly such beds look very attractive. Often manufacturers use upholstery with fabric, leather and eco-leather. Make sure the fabric is dense and durable.

Today it is fashionable to use wooden pallets all the time. They make not only country furniture and comfortable sofas with tables for cafe summer areas. Several of these drawers can serve as an excellent basis for a bed in a city apartment. Such a solution will fit, however, far from any interior.

Number 4. Bed base

The base of the bed is firmly attached to the frame and becomes the support for the mattress. The base may be of the following types:

• lamella constructionthin flexible strips. Lamels are made of wood or plastic, other materials are not suitable, since it is important that the slats can bend under the weight of a person and take the necessary shape. Wooden slats will be preferred; they are usually made from beech or birch. The more planks used in the base, the better. The minimum quantity for a single bed is 15 lamellas, for a double bed - 30. The distance between the lamellas should be no more than the width of the lamella itself,
• hard and soft metal grilles. Due to the strength of the metal mesh, such a foundation is used for 20 years and not less, it is inexpensive, but it can be easily pressed underneath, so there’s no need to talk about a comfortable and healthy vacation
• construction of metal springs also outlived its own and proved that sleeping on such a bed is very uncomfortable,
• sheet base sometimes still found. Such beds are inexpensive, but also do not last long, since the weight of a person in them is distributed unevenly over the entire area of ​​the base.

It is best when there is nothing under the base of lamellas (this is the preferred choice). In this case, the mattress will be well ventilated and will last a very long time. In order to save space, beds with storage compartments under the berth. This can be drawers, which is not very convenient, or a large storage area, which is accessed by a lifting mechanism.

No. 5. Lift bed

Under the large double bed, as much space is formed as in the middle wardrobe or compact closet. If the apartment is small, it's silly not to use this space. Of course, you can take the model, where under the berth is located several drawers, but this approach does not allow the maximum use of the bedside space. It will not be possible to open such drawers in any bedroom, and finding such an option is not so easy.

It is better to take a bed with a lifting mechanism: if you just raise the base with the mattress, you will see a huge (about 1.8 * 1.9 m and 25-40 cm in depth) storage space. It is possible to arrange there both bedding and non-seasonal clothes - there is enough space for everything.

Depending on what kind of load is expected, choose one or another lifting mechanism:

• gas lift. The mechanism is equipped with a shock absorber in the format of a cylinder that is filled with air or other gas. The capacity depends on the pressure. The bed base with such a mechanism is easy to raise and lower, everything is done very smoothly, you just need to give a small initial push. A gas lift can lift a weight of about 100 kg and more, is designed for all types of beds and mattresses, this is the mechanism used with transformer beds that fold to the wall. The service life of the mechanism is long (about 70-90 thousand cycles of raising / lowering), the only negative is the cost,
• spring mechanism built using metal coil springs. Service life - about 20 thousand cycles of raising / lowering. The mechanism works clearly, but over time, difficulties may arise with lifting, it may be necessary to replace springs. Springs withstand less load than gas lift,
• manual gear on hinges does not imply the presence of any shock absorbers - all efforts to raise and lower the berth lie on the person. Such a mechanism is often installed in folding beds, it is cheap, but requires a good calculation of their own forces.

No. 6. Folding bed or convertible bed

It is clear that not every apartment can fit a stationary large bed. Often you have to be content with a folding sofa as a bed, but there are also alternatives. These are the so-called transforming beds or wardrobe beds. During the day, they are held near the wall and do not interfere with free movement, and at night, thanks to the folding mechanism, they turn into a full sleeper. During the day, such a bed can serve as a fake wardrobe, be decorated with a pretty picture or even turn into a small sofa.

There are transformer beds that recline during the day and open access to the table, and the mechanism is designed so that all objects on the countertop remain in place when the bed moves.

Number 7. Headboard

The presence of a headboard at the bed depends on where it will stand. If you are going to put the bed with the head close to the wall, then you can easily do without a separate back. A wall near the head can be distinguishedfor example, soft wall panels, artificial stone, paint or wallpaper of a different color. There are bolder decisions: boards, screens, tree cuts, etc. Above the headboard you can organize a shelf for storing necessary or purely decorative things. Sometimes such a shelf flows smoothly into the storage system, which continues on the sides of the bed.

If you plan to put the bed not close to the wall, then it is better to take model with its headboard. It should be reliable and convenient so that you can safely lean on it while reading or watching TV. In some beds, the headboard is located at a slight angle - this is the most ergonomic option.

Number 8. Bed style

The material and design of the bed should not only meet the requirements of ergonomics, but also meet the style of the interior. Therefore, when deciding which bed to choose, it is necessary to take into account its design:

• low platform beds and podium beds perfectly fit into the high-tech style, minimalism, Japanese style,
• the beds with leather headboard will become an adornment of the interior in ethnic, modern, minimalist and classic style,
• beds with bamboo frame and wicker backs will complement the tropical, ethnic or eco-style,
• in style retro, provence and country will also fit beds with forged backbut it’s not very comfortable, so it’s better to stock up with a lot of pillows,
• beds with carved wooden backs, gilding, decorative overlays and inlay will find application in the interior in the classical style, Baroque and Rococo.

No. 9. Mattress

The convenience of relaxing on a bed very much depends on the mattress chosen. As a rule, high-quality orthopedic mattresses are already complete with a bed, but often you have to buy this product yourself. It is better to take a medium-hard or hard mattress, if it is not forbidden to you for medical reasons.

As a filler, springs, latex, polyurethane and even cotton wool can serve. There is still no consensus among experts which mattress is better: some say that those that are filled with latex or polyurethane are ideal, others are advised to take combined mattresses. The best advice is to rely on your own feelings and test the mattress while still in the store. The topic of choosing a suitable mattress for a bed is very extensive and deserves separate consideration.

No. 10. Bed accessories

Among the additional options, the bed may have:

• canopy. This is the detail that makes the sleeping place more comfortable and secluded. On the other hand, suspended tissue interferes with normal air circulation and accumulates dust,
• backlight in the back or along the contour of the bed allows you to make the bedroom more romantic, can be used as a night lamp,
• protective side commonly found in cots, can be removable and integrated
• mirror inserts allow you to literally dissolve the bed and make the bedroom visually a little larger.

No. 11. What else to consider when choosing a bed?

In pursuit of a large spacious bed, do not forget that the space in the bedroom is limited, and in addition to the bed, it is often necessary to arrange a wardrobe or chest of drawers, and leave free access to the bedroom and the window.

On sale you can find beds very original design. For example, in the form of a boat, a nest, there are even swing beds, but trying to add variety to your home interior, do not forget that the bed should be comfortable, first of all.

As for bed manufacturers, then you can pay attention to Dream Line (beds made of solid ash and beech), Olimp, Horizont, Fratelli Barri (expensive designer Italian beds), as well as more affordable products from SMK, Vasko, Triya and Lonax.

Finally, we note that a bed, like a mattress, is better to buy only after a personal inspection and a short test: an uncomfortable product will almost immediately give itself away.

Description

First of all, let's understand what modern beds are? Modern models are those that meet certain comfort requirements:

• Comfortable mattress to ensure proper body position.
• Sufficient sizes for a comfortable stay.

The bed is a frame with slats on which the mattress is laid. In terms of design, appearance and materials, no single standard exists.

All existing beds can be conditionally divided into two types:

Classic with lifting gear

Unlike an ordinary bed, which is quite difficult to get to the mattress space, modern ones are equipped with a special mechanism that facilitates this procedure. It is enough to pull the belt and warping together with the mattress rises using springs or pneumatics. The system provides significant force compensation, and some models are equipped with electric drives, which are controlled from the remote control. Thanks to this, an additional box for storing things appears in the house, moreover, it is quite roomy.

These beds are quite low, making it difficult to clean under them. Some manufacturers equip their products with a removable bottom to facilitate the cleaning process. The modular design allows you to easily remove the elements of the bed to update the design or repair.

Recessed

A great option for those who want to not only visually expand the space of the room, but to get a real increase in the usable area in small rooms. The built-in sleeping module simultaneously combines several functional areas within one room, creating an additional or reserve place for sleeping.

In the case of the acquisition of a comprehensive furniture solution, the design of the transformer bed merges with the overall interior design and, when folded, resembles an ordinary wardrobe. Unassembled - this is a solid base with an orthopedic mattress and extendable legs.

Folding is realized by the horizontal or vertical folding mechanism. Quality beds can withstand quite impressive weight, but there are still limitations. There are automated options, the transformation of which is carried out from a remote control, by means of an electric drive.

Fancy options

One of the non-standard developments of modern design is considered hanging interior bedswhose slight swaying will help to fall asleep even to people suffering from chronic insomnia faster.

Manufacturers of this type of beds offer a wide assortment of a wide variety of models, so that anyone who chooses this type of bed has the opportunity to choose something original according to their preference.

Just like the traditional ones, suspended structures are single, double and children's. Hanging beds are not much different from ordinary beds - they are available in both single and double beds, can be massive and light, for adults and children. Most often, hanging models for adults have a traditional rectangular or square shape and are equipped with protective sides that reliably protect you from falling during sleep.

For children, special models of beds have been developed either in the form of equipment for boys, or in the form of fairy-tale houses for girls.

Which bed is better to choose

Competition in the production of bedroom furniture forces enterprises to produce a large number of models using various traditional and modern materials. In order not to get lost in the variety of forms and design features, you should determine in advance the requirements for the object of purchase.

Single beds - 70-100 cm

This type of bed takes up minimal space and is focused on the convenience of one person. A specific model is chosen taking into account the complexion of a person. Most of these adult products have a width of 70 to 100 cm.

Single bed.

One and a half beds - 100-130 cm

This option allows one person to sit comfortably for sleeping. The width of these beds is 100-130 cm. If necessary, you can fit here together. One and a half beds are bought by young couples when it is required to save space in the apartment. They are suitable for a nursery or a country house.

One and a half bed.

Double beds - 140-180 cm

It is believed that a comfortable location for two people requires a width of 140-180 cm. Such beds are called double. When choosing a model, the combination of partners and the favorite position of both during sleep are necessarily taken into account.

Double bed.

Family beds - 180-200 cm

The width of this category of beds starts from 180 cm. They are ideal for any couple with small children who tend to climb into their parents' bed at night. Such models look good in a spacious bedroom. They are usually positioned so that there is a convenient approach from different angles.

Family bed.

How to choose the width, length and height of the bed

Before going to a furniture store, you need to accurately determine the installation location of the future bed and take the appropriate measurements. The width should correspond to the complexion of those who will rest on it. The minimum length is calculated by adding 30-40 cm to the growth. If you prefer large pillows, then add a few more centimeters. For tall people, sometimes you have to order non-standard models. They cost more, but comfort is more important.

The height of most beds ranges from 50 to 65 cm. If in doubt about the correct choice, sit on it. If the legs bent at the knees form a right angle, then the product is suitable for you. This principle is not a dogma. It is better for older people to buy a lower model, and if there is a risk of drafts in the house - higher.

Solid wood

Natural wood is a traditional material for the manufacture of furniture. The price and appearance of such a bed is highly dependent on the type of wood and its processing technology.

Soaring

Visually it seems that the bed is hanging in the air. This is possible due to the lack of visible supports, which is far from always true. Hovering berths usually have a headboard close to one of the walls, in which load-bearing structural elements are mounted so that they are difficult to see.

Supports are mounted closer to the center of the base, and a low landing relative to the floor and well-positioned lighting perfectly mask their presence. A flying bed will decorate any bedroom in a modern style and will make an unforgettable impression on guests.

Outboard

Such a berth is not equipped with any supports at all, but unlike the previous version, it does not make the impression of a soaring. This is because the elements that hold it above the floor are clearly visible. This is an impressive type of rope or chain, fixed in the ceiling or some other supporting structure.

This decision can be called modern unless in the context: the new is the well-forgotten old. Since the fastening was similarly used in the distant past, for example, in rural areas, lullabies were hung from the ceiling. Since there is no rigid support, the structure does not have stability, and it begins to sway with the slightest movement. A weak vestibular apparatus and a tendency to motion sickness will make rest on such a bed impossible. People who are not inclined to motion sickness, on the contrary, will be lulled.

Teenage

Modern teenage beds differ from products for adults, primarily structurally. In addition, design, practicality, rational use of useful space are important:

• Transformer - has various folding mechanisms, the most common of which is a book or a retractable one. Helps to rationally compose the items that are most necessary for the rest and daily life of a teenager,
• Attic is another square meter saving solution. This time the berth is located as close to the ceiling as possible. The free space under it can be used for any useful purpose, for example, for a computer desk,
• Layered models are the best solution if there are two or more children in the family. Everyone will find a place, while there will be enough free space for games and entertainment,
• Podium - one of the design options for podium beds (folding) involves the use of a retractable mechanism. The bed for sleeping is pushed out of the box, which the rest of the time can be used as an additional usable area. Another, less economically spatial option, when the podium is the foundation on which the mattress lies.

Baby

First of all, modern children's beds are safe, comfortable and durable structures made of environmentally friendly materials. Simple options are possible, without any special equipment, as well as complex solutions with additional devices, made according to the preferences of the parents.

• A transforming bed is a combination of functionally useful elements, which includes, in addition to a berth, a changing table, compact chest of drawers, drawers and shelves. Unfolding into independent structural elements allows you to save space and focus on a relatively small area everything you need to care for a child. There are models in which the size of the base is regulated, which allows using simple manipulations to make a cot a berth for a younger student,
• With a pendulum mechanism - a crib for a newborn with a pendulum replaces the cradle or the usual, children's place to sleep. Such decisions can greatly facilitate the care of the baby, ensure its healthy sleep and comfort. The principle of operation of the pendulum depends on the mechanism used:

1. Cross - the most simple and affordable, its operation resembles motion sickness in an ordinary cradle,
2. Longitudinal - like motion sickness on the hands: the movement occurs back and forth and is more natural for a person, which contributes to the fast falling asleep and calm behavior of the child. To implement such a mechanism is somewhat more complicated than the transverse one.This requires hinges, bushings and more space. There are also universal options, the method of motion sickness in which can be changed using the switch.

• Rocking cot - a simple sleeping device, unlike the previous one, is not equipped with any mechanisms. Swinging at such a bed for children is possible due to the design features and is carried out in one of two directions (along or across). The legs of the rocking crib are connected by arcuate runners on which it sways. Such products cost an order of magnitude cheaper than their mechanical counterparts, but are functionally inferior except in the absence of the ability to swing in all directions.

Advanced equipment

The most technological premium segment beds are equipped with a special mechanism for changing the position of the body of a person lying on them. Depending on the design, it is possible to change the position of the arms, legs, head and torso. The functionality of such beds depends on the number of sections used in them, which are driven mechanically or by remote control.

More advanced models are equipped with pneumatic systems, which allows changing positions as gently as possible. At the touch of a button, you can put the bed into a convenient mode for watching TV or even working on a laptop. This eliminates the need to pave mountains of pillows to ensure comfort in a particular situation.

Equipped with similar mechanisms, beds are made of wood, plastic, or metal. Combined products are most practical. The frame of the metal profile is framed by decorative sheathing that matches the purpose of the bed and the interior design in which it will be located.

Audio systems, sockets for charging mobile devices, consoles for laptops and tablets with stands are mounted in the frames of many modern beds. To create a special decorative effect in some models, LED backlight is installed.

The best body and upholstery

The casing of the bed can be made of wood, metal, wood boards, upholstered in a variety of materials or without them.

• Metal - modern metal beds are radically different from the brutal products of the last century. The variety of design solutions allows you to choose the option that suits your style for any interior. The metal is exceptionally strong material, which allows practically not to limit the load on the beds made of it and significantly increase the life of the unit. At the same time, metal products cost much less than their wooden counterparts, and there are much more opportunities to design them in a special way,
• Wooden - beds made of solid wood harmoniously fit into almost any interior, are available in all price categories. Moreover, they are absolutely environmentally friendly and are unlikely to lose relevance in the near future. Attempts to simulate the appearance and texture of plate materials only partially convey what a real wooden bed should be. The variety of available wood species is relatively small, which is largely offset by the variety of paints and varnishes. The use of decorating compositions along with structural solutions allows you to achieve a harmonious combination of bed furniture with any design findings,
• With leather upholstery - beds upholstered in genuine leather - this is a popular luxury furniture, appropriate in a simple, classic interior, as well as in rooms decorated in high-tech style. Modern technologies make it possible to produce high-quality artificial leather, which is almost impossible to distinguish from genuine. Leather beds coated with artificial or natural materials, are soft, resistant to mechanical damage and not as traumatic as wood or metal products.
