In a dream, we spend a third of our lives and it is better to spend time comfortably on a cozy crib than on an uncomfortable bed. When choosing a bed, you need to look not only at the appearance of the models, but also pay attention to the design features: mattress, height, assembly method and other nuances.
How to choose a bed and what you need to pay attention to, going for such a serious purchase.
Dimensions
Depending on the size of the sleeping place, the beds are of such types:
- single -spar;
- one and a half;
- double.
The length of the berth usually reaches two meters, but the width of each bed differs.
Dimensions of sleeping places:
- a single -spar bed has a standard bend of a berth - 90 centimeters, there are slightly less beds - 80 centimeters. Usually such sleeping furniture is purchased for children. If the room allows, then you can buy a bed with a meter width of a berth;
- at one and a half bed, the width is from 110 to 150 centimeters. Such models are purchased for children, it is convenient to sleep on them to both children and adults.
- double beds have a width of 160 centimeters to 180 centimeters.
When choosing the size of the bed, it is necessary to take into account the following parameters:
- The size of the berth (width).
- The length and width of the structure along the skeleton.
With the size of a sleeping place, everything is clear: the more spacious, the more convenient for a person. The length of the bed should be comfortable, as well as correspond to the growth of a person and the size of the room. So, if your height is an eighty or ninety meter, then on a bed less than two meters, your legs will “hang”. This situation during sleep is unacceptable, because a person cannot rest fully.
The height of the berth should also be taken into account. There are no standards but, according to American orthopedic doctors, it is undesirable to sleep on low beds. The optimal height from the edge of the mattress to the floor should be about half a meter, then the load on the spine will be minimal. Therefore, it is not recommended for a long time to sleep on a low bed or an inflatable mattress.
Models of beds
Sleep furniture is divided into two models:
- Classic - is a design made of metal or wood. They may be included in the set of sleeping or children's sets, as well as sold as a separate furniture unit.
- Folding - models of folding beds are also often called "transformers." Today, the demand for them is very large, since they are very convenient in operation and allow you to save a lot of space, which is relevant for small apartments or with frequent crossings. The furniture stores present a large assortment of folding beds. Among the popular models of furniture for sleeping, a chair-bed and sofa bed is distinguished. They will not take up much space in the room and will save space.
No less popular is the model of the Eurobrnizhka bed, in which the sitting mechanism moves forward. The formed space fill the backs of the back.
The design of the "accordion" is a bed and a sofa at the same time. Such a model is laid out as an accordion, it is convenient to sleep for two people. The mechanism has a grille and videos.
The scrap-outfit. Its mechanism is revealed in three stages. Often called "French". The berth in the design is folded inward.
The sleeping place of this bed is taken out from under the seat. The name of the model "dolphin".
So that in the future the question does not appear in the future, which bed is better to choose, pay attention to the photo illustrations of different models.
Design
Most standard bed models consist of these details:
- Frame.
- Base.
- Backs (one or two).
The frame is a rectangular structure consisting of four panels (tsari). It rests either on the legs or on the backs.
The frame is the main part of the entire structure and the strength of the bed and the duration of its operation depends on it. Pay attention to the frame: it should be made of durable material (wood or metal), and its size coincides exactly with the size of the mattress. Otherwise, the bed may break quickly.
The base is the base, as a rule - this is a box for linen. It is attached to the frame and consists of a wooden, plastic or metal lattice (lamellas). A single bed can consist of fifteen slats, and double - of thirty. Instead, wooden plywood can also be used. If you want to sleep on an orthopedic mattress, then it is better to choose the base from the grill to get the maximum effect.
The base of wooden rivers is characterized by low cost. During operation on wooden rails, the mattress will eventually begin to lose its shape.
Plastic bases allow you to regulate the position of the bed, but differ in high cost. Since they are very durable, such a bed will last more than one year.
Durable and hard bases consist of a metal mesh.
One of the beds of the bed serves as a head with a head. When buyers are looking for an answer to the question: “How to choose the right bed,” sales consultants advise paying attention to furniture with only the headboard. It is convenient to use it during relaxation or reading, leaning back. If you like to relax so much, then you need to choose a bed that has a flat high wall without protrusions. If you want to get maximum comfort, then it is better to choose a bed with a high soft headboard.
It is better for people with high growth to choose a bed model without a “foot” back. You should also pay attention to the rails, since the softness or rigidity of the berth depends on their number. Some designs can additionally regulate their height.
When choosing a box, you should pay attention to the presence of a underwear box, which can be built into the side panel or located directly under the sleeping place. In addition to linen, in a spacious box it is convenient to store demi -season blankets, as well as rugs and pillows.
What material should the bed be from?
When choosing a bed, you need to ask what material it is made of. So, modern models have a base of wood or veneer, as well as chipboard, MDF and metal. Do not purchase cheap products that are made of materials dangerous to human health. Environmentally friendly material is a tree, in addition, it is reliable, durable and durable.
Recently, the popularity has been gaining beds made of laminated woody stove. This is strong material, and such products will cost a little cheaper than completely wooden. But you should not buy beds from a laminated stove for people suffering from allergic reactions. The glue that is part of the product can cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract.
In addition to these materials, often bed frames are made of plywood. Its quality can be different. When choosing, pay attention to the strength, do not forget to inspect the fasteners and check if the veneer is poured.
In addition to the grounds made of wood, as well as from MDF or FEP, they are not inferior in durability and quality of the bed made of metal. Due to the fact that he does not tolerate moisture, he is covered with a special paint that protects against corrosion.
How to choose a double bed correctly
When choosing a bed for two, you should take into account the complexion of each spouses. For example, if the question is to purchase a bed for newlyweds, it is better to choose a bulky, heavy bed. If one of the spouses has high growth, then you need to purchase a bed with a bend of a berth at least two meters.
If you want to put a double bed in a teenager’s room, then choose a bed on a soft basis. It will last longer than on a rigid basis.
