Bed, is so important that it could ruin your entire sleep and your entire day leaving you grumpy or worst, aching so bad or your joints and back hurting. You don't have to worry about not being much experienced with home decoration and furniture. All you have to do is start with these respects.
First and foremost, you have to know the structure of the bed. When buying beds either online or in-person from a furniture store, you have to pay attention to the different packages provided. See to it that you can distinguish whether the merchant provides a complete set of beds or just a bed frame. A full set of beds will consist of three main parts; the frame, the mattress, and the bed box. The bed frame is the shelf of the entire bed structure, including the headboard, the footboard, and the rail. Spring bed boxes and mattresses are also needed for a complete bed.
Secondly, you need to take into account the overall height of the bed, which will directly impact your sleeping experience. The height of an ordinary bed frame is about 8-12 inches above the ground. The most common sizes of spring boxes are 5.5 inches and 9 inches respectively. If you have special needs, you can also buy a 2-inch ultra-low spring box. With mattresses having a thickness of about 11 inches, the overall height of your bed should be about 30 inches. If there are children under the age of 10 who might use the bed, you would need to consider how convenient it would be for them to fall asleep on.
Should you prefer a low-rise low bed, you can choose either a platform bed or a profiling bed. The platform bed has a complete bed frame and fishbone-shaped bed slats without needing a spring bed box. It is sometimes more economical to go for platform beds, skipping the need of buying bed boxes, and platform beds are also very comfy. It is very common for bed sellers to sell platform beds with the most suitable mattress size. In addition, see to it that you are satisfied with the style and design of the bed.
Finally, put into account your need for size because common beds mainly come in seven different sizes as shown in the figure below:
①Single size, Twin size, Twin XL size:
Width: 36-39 inches;
Length: 75-80 inches;
Single beds are suitable for children under the age of teens under 15 years of age. And such beds are usually used in dormitories.
②Double size，full size
Width: 54 inches
Length: 75 inches
It is suitable for singles. Of course, children can also use them well into adulthood.
③Queen size
Width: 60 inches
Length: 84 inches
One of the most commonly used sizes and it can sleep two people.
④King size
Width: 76 inches
Height: 80 inches
The king-size bed is perfect for couples. It ensures each person has plenty of space while simultaneously sleeping on it.
⑤California King
Width: 72 inches
Length: 84 inches
It is almost the largest size you can buy on the market, it is suitable for people with very large bedroom space.
There is also a bed type that does not require a bed box, mattress, or bed frame for homes with multi-function living space integrated with leisure, entertainment, and rest, which is the sofa bed. The space of the sofa bed depends on whether you primarily want to use it as a bed or a sofa, where it is to be set in the master bedroom, the guest room, the study room, or the living room.
When a retractable sofa bed is retracted or folded, it becomes a 2 or 3-person seater sofa, and when it is deployed, it becomes a soft comfortable double bed. In addition to serving as a multi-purpose piece of furniture, it also serves as very good storage due to having enough hidden storage compartments.
Convertible sofa beds are available in many sizes and styles, generally divided into pull-out and retract. Generally, the width of the sofa bed does not exceed 39 inches when it is retracted. After unfolding, the width of the mattress is full-sized, queen size, king size, e.t.c When the sofa is unfolded, the bed length is usually about 70-85 inches.
If you need a sofa bed, you can choose whichever one you want. You can either use them in a single apartment, non-full-size bedroom, and home studio. Generally, bed sofas are perfect for homes to conserve space.
