Criteria for choosing a bed
When buying a bed in a store, the first question arises: how many people will use a berth, 1-, 1.5- and 2-spar beds are considered standard.
Also, when choosing furniture for sleep, it matters:
-
The area of the bedroom
-
Interior style
-
Type of mattress.
Dimensional row
Depending on the complexion of users and their quantity, the size of the bed is selected. The most common double models of rectangular shape, although oval and round beds that are made to order are found in interiors.
Round bed
The standard bed length is 190-200 cm, the width varies in the range of 80-100 cm (single), 100-150 cm (one and a half) and 160-180 (double). The beds with dimensions are 200*220cm or more called King-Size.
Criteria for choosing size:
-
In length, we focus on the growth of users-the bed should exceed it by 15-20 cm
-
To determine the optimal width, it is necessary to lie down and spread to the sides of the hands bent at the elbows – the elbows should not go beyond the edges of the berth, for double options, two people experience the space
-
The optimal height is if it is convenient to sit on it and get up. Older users are recommended by high models, but it is better to focus on individual anatomical features and preferences.

The design of the frame and the base of the beds
Its operational characteristics and appearance depend on the material from which the bed frame is made. Among modern materials for making beds, an array of natural wood (pine, oak, ash, beech, etc.) are most popular. Also, the frames of the berth can be metal and from wood and combustion boards (chipboard, fiberboard and MDF).
Structurally, the bed consists of the base for the mattress and the frame on which the base is based. The beds are equipped with backs – the head of the head and wear, supports in the form of legs or podium, tsarks (side panels).

The base of the bed on which the mattress is laid is attached to the frame, divided into:
-
Lamella, consisting of flexible strips of various widths. The lamellas are made of wood or plastic, the first option due to strength is preferable, usually made of a birch or beech board. The convenience of the berth depends on the number of lamellas. For a single bed, you need at least 15 slats, for double – from 30
-
The metal lattice is rare today, it is not very convenient to sleep on it, since the sleeping place is bending under the weight of the user, but the metal is durable and low price
-
A continuous base is found in modern beds, but gradually gives way to lamella. A solid foundation is optimal for people with a lot of weight.

Folding and lifting models, transformer beds
In small apartments or bedrooms, beds with additional functions are installed, for example, with a storage system in the form of drawers or a folding sleeping place.
A double bed with a lifting mechanism is driven simply-it is enough to raise the base and a place for storage measures 1.8-1.9 m deep up to 40 cm in size opens before the user.
Depending on the proposed load, the mechanism for lifting is chosen:
-
Gazlift
-
spring mechanism
-
Manual mechanism.
A transformer bed or folding options are suitable for apartments with a limited area. In the afternoon, the bed “turns” into a closet, shelves or sofa for the living room, and at night it is converted to a full berth.

Style of sleeping furniture
To create a harmonious space in the bedroom, the bed is selected according to the stylistic direction in the interior design. Consider the most common options.

Mattress choices
The mattress is a mandatory component of the bed and the quality of sleep and human health depends on its convenience. If there are no problems with the ODS, we recommend selecting a medium stiff mattress with an orthopedic effect.
In the manufacture of mattresses for filling, both natural and artificial materials are used, each of which is endowed with certain advantages and disadvantages.

When choosing a mattress, they are focused not only on the size and quality of the mattress, but also on the individual needs of users (body weight, growth, age).
Accessories for the bed

Canopy. In fact, this is a curtain on the bar, which closes the bed from prying eyes and creates an atmosphere of solitude and isolation. The walls of the canopy are made of light breathable fabrics.

The backlighting of the berth can be located on the sides of the bed on bedside tables, attached on the wall above the heading, be mounted in the ceiling in the form of spotlights Lee to integrate into the cornice of the canopy. Additional light near the bed is convenient, useful and creates a romantic stop.
Mirror inserts on the bed are found in the decor of the head of the head, and in the form of a panel above the headline or on the sides of the bed. A bed inlaid by mirrors creates a feeling of weightlessness of the berth and visually increases the space.

When choosing a bed, do not forget about freedom of movement, and therefore the distance from the sleeping place to the nearest wall or furniture should be at least 70 cm.
