Beds

A bed is your most important piece of bedroom furniture, and there are various options available. A bedroom without the right bed is simply another room in your house. And when you have the wrong bed, it can be very discomforting. But choosing the right bed can be simple if you know your needs.

Before You Buy

Before you buy a bed, think about the following:

• Size. The size of the room and the size of the bed are crucial. You don’t want king and queen beds in bedrooms more suited to an upholstered single bed. While the bed is the main feature, it must not overwhelm the room, you need to be able to move around the room easily. When it comes to furniture purchases, a tape measure is an excellent tool to have handy.

• Budget. The cost of a bed can vary considerably. Beds range from $650 for a twin bed to $ 20,000 for a ultra-luxury king-sized bed. Knowing your budget upfront allows better decision-making.

• Comfort. When it comes to your bed, comfort is key. Be sure to try out different beds and mattresses before purchasing one and try them out with your partner if you are sharing a bed.

Features to Consider

There are several features to consider when it comes to buying beds. A starting point would be to look at what bedroom furniture you already have. Does it need to match, or are you starting from scratch?

The master bedroom is often a sanctuary for homeowners, so master bedroom furniture needs to reflect their tastes and be comfortable. Furnishing a child’s room may require looking at options like a sturdy wood bed that offers built-in storage underneath to store toys or linen in. Bunk beds are another option for children.

Another important feature is the mattress itself. What type of mattress do you want? Do you want to buy a bed that comes with a mattress? Or purchase it separately? Do you require a firm or soft mattress? Do you want springs, coils, or foam? A latex mattress is another option.

An excellent way to test a mattress is to lie on it in your preferred sleeping position for a few minutes. Contemplate whether it offers enough support in addition to being comfortable.

Style is a further consideration. Do you want a modern and functional bed, or do you want a traditional platform bed reminiscent of a renaissance painting? How does this fit in with your bedroom and existing furniture?

A final feature to consider is the material that the bed is made of. Do you want a wood panel bed or a metal bed that offers clean lines and allows the possibility of storage beneath the bed?

Other possibilities include beds with sumptuous upholstery or masculine leather or beds made of faux leather. Wood and upholstery beds are a readily available combination and are more traditional. There are even beds with lights if you are a night owl that likes to read. Beds are available in different finishes and colors, from cherry and oak to silver and pink.

Types of Beds

Size is a distinguishing feature when it comes to types of beds, and can be organized as follows:

• Twin Bed. The dimensions are approximately 42''W x 80''D x 52''H. They are most commonly used for children’s rooms and guest rooms.
• Double Bed. The dimensions are approximately 58''W x 80''D x 53''H, and this size bed is suitable for a couple or single person in a smaller room where space is at a premium but allows more room than a twin bed.
• Queen Bed. The dimensions are approximately 67''W x 86''D x 58''H. These beds are a popular size, allowing more room for a couple but taking up less space than king size beds.
• King Bed. The dimensions are approximately 80''W x 88''D x 61''H. They are suitable for a master bedroom or other large bedroom. This bed is an excellent choice if you are tall.
• California King Bed. The dimensions are approximately 82''W x 92''D x 64''H. If you are tall and your room is large, then this is your bed.
• Be sure to choose a suitably sized bed and make sure you can get it into your home. A small entrance is often a consideration that people overlook.

How To Choose A Bed

Comfort is a crucial. Consider your bed in the same way you would anything that is an asset to your life…and lifestyle. A bed that you like and are comfortable in will serve you far better than a bed that is pretty or stylish but uncomfortable. Choose a bed that fits your requirements in size, comfort, style, and budget.
