6 rules to consider while purchasing bedroom furniture

 We spend 1/3 of our lives in bed. It is a whole lot of time that’s why we have decided to share with you some of the key tips on how to choose quality bedroom furniture.

1․ What are the ergonomic width and length for a bed?

When we buy a bed, first we pay attention to its length which on average has to be 190 – 200 cm. By width, bedroom furniture is distinguished into twin size (80 -90 cm), queen size (120 – 140) and king size (160 – 200).

To have a comfortable sleeping place, the bed height should be 15 cm taller than an average person and twice wider than the shoulders. The larger the sleeping area, the more comfortable it will be to sleep there.

2․ What is an ergonomic bed height?  

Height beds are preferable as it is much easier to lie and get up from there, but it depends on what you love. Sometimes bed height requires a specific style, for example, Asian, techno or minimalistic interiors require low height beds. The bed height is comfortable when the mattress’ height is equal to one’s knees who stands beside.

3․ Why American bedroom furniture headboard is so high?

Headboards and footboards do not have a practical functionality, but they psychologically relax nerves and inspire confidence. It is really cozy to lean back on the headboards to read or work on the laptop in the evenings. Both headboard and footboard are an advantage to any bedroom furniture.

According to an American tradition, years ago people used to put the bedroom furniture in front of the fireplace, this way they could manage to keep the heat only in the sleeping area. This is the main reason why American bedroom furniture have higher headboards than usual. However, today they play more aesthetic function.

4. What materials bedroom furniture is usually made from?

Materials to make bedroom furniture vary extensively. Most popular are wood, metal, upholstery like cotton, velvet, leather.

When you choose a material, you have to consider its advantages and disadvantages in everyday use, whether it matches your demands about home design.

Wood beds are versatile for any room. They may serve longer if you take care of the furniture carefully. These beds are weightier. Palm wood is as sturdy as other wood types, it creates tropical mood in the room, but weighs lighter.

Metal bed mostly are intended for loft style themed bedrooms. They occupy minimal space due to its restrained look and can be matched with different décor from different styles.

When you go for upholstered bed, take into account what textures prevail in the room, that will help to select the right colors and materials. Upholstered beds require more detailed care.

5․ What are the bed bases for?

For twin or queen size it is enough for a bed to have 15 slates, but for king size beds it is sufficient to have 30 slates to ensure longevity and comfortability. Beech, poplar and birch wood types are the sturdiest for a bed base.

Bed bases are distinguished into frames, legs or footboards. Frame bed bases are the most comfortable for a restful sleep. Legs greatly match in modern or Scandinavian style themed spaces. When you buy a bedroom furniture, you have to know exactly who is going to sleep on it. Footboards are widely known in the American reality. They create a sense of security.
