OUR ADVICE FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT BED

by Coley Home coleyhome

The centerpiece of a bedroom's decoration and a key element of quality sleep, the bed is both a design choice and a comfort asset. Which bed to choose to meet this double requirement?

WHICH BED TO CHOOSE?

Is your room cramped, or on the contrary huge? Are you looking for a nomadic bed, or want to create a corner reserved for rest? Murphy or relaxation beds, futons ... our guide to help you choose your bed!

Which bed to choose: King Size, Queen Size or Standard?

To know which bed to choose, start by determining the dimensions of your diaper. Five bed sizes are generally available:

· the 90 x 190 cm bed, for one person

· the one-and-a-half-place bed (120 x 190 cm), an excellent compromise if your nights are lonely but you want to be able to turn and return at your ease, without taking up too much space in your room

· the standard double bed (140 x 190 cm)

· the Queen Size bed (160 x 200 cm)

· The King Size bed (180 x 200 cm).

Which headboard to choose?

Initially designed to insulate the sleeper against the cold, the headboard today occupies a central role in the design of a bedroom. Which headboard to choose?

· The wooden custom made upholstered headboards: a simple plank will create a rustic effect, while dark, delicately crafted wood will have a more classic look.

· The fabric headboard: opt for a padded headboard that will serve your comfort, or covered with elegant embroidered fabrics for more chic!

· The personalized headboard: let your creativity run free and build your own headboard using pallets that you can paint in the color of your choice.

What material to choose for your bed frame?

In wood, metal, wrought iron, the bed frame allows you to make a choice that is both practical and aesthetic.

· Made of wood, your bed will be both sturdy and able to adapt to any type of decor. In light pine, it is the key to a modern Scandinavian-inspired bedroom. Oak or fir will create a more rustic effect, like inside a chalet.

· Do you prefer a retro atmosphere for your bedroom? Opt for wrought iron and bars.

· Lately, aluminum bed frames are on the rise. This material, which is light, easy to maintain and pleasant to look at, has it all!

The four-poster bed, romantic or design asset

Which bed to choose for a romantic setting, such as in the most luxurious hotel rooms or even the stately homes of yesteryear? A four-poster bed, of course! Choose it:

· In exotic wood to remember your honeymoon on a paradise island

· Covered with fine curtains to create a small alcove without weighing down the decoration of the room

· In metal to break the romantic side of the four-poster bed and make it the main asset of your urban design

· Adorned with some led garlands rather than curtains to play on the illumination of the room.

A bed to save space

Which bed to choose when you have a very small bedroom or live in a studio? Different solutions are available to you to save space:

· The Murphy bed: a wardrobe, a table or a desk during the day, a comfortable bed at night… not only does the Murphy bed take up no space, but it is versatile!

· The convertible sofa: it is ideal for a living room or an office that can be transformed, on occasion, into a guest bedroom. Once unfolded, it transforms into a cozy bed.

· The mezzanine bed: perched above an office or dressing area, it offers a perfect “two in one” solution which, unlike the first two, does not require you to undo and redo your bed each time.

A round bed to sleep in a ball

Which bed to choose when you want originality and a lot of space? With a round bed, you bet on an unusual decoration, but risk finding yourself facing some disadvantages:

· With an average diameter of 2 m, the round bed will take up more space than a classic rectangular bed. You must therefore have a rather spacious room to accommodate it.

· Who says round bed, says round sheets, that is to say an additional expense and difficulties in finding the appropriate bedding? Opt for the compromise offered by a rectangular mattress installed on a round base.

· If you like to read in your bed, the round bed, without a headboard, is not for you!

Comfort and design with a leather bed

Which bed to choose for a contemporary but cozy bedroom? With a leather bed, you are counting on the top of the range, both in terms of comfort and design. You will find different kinds of leather beds:

· The bed in full-grain leather, unworked leather that reveals the original grain of the skin and is renowned for its strength.

· The bed in aniline, that is to say a full grain leather that has been immersed in a dye bath. Aniline is one of the noblest versions of leather, but also the most delicate. An aniline bed can easily be torn or stained.

· The less vulnerable semi-aniline bed that combines the luxury of aniline with strength and durability.

A futon bed for sleeping Japanese style

Which bed to choose when you do not have the space to install a real bed or when you rely on a refined oriental decor? With its Japanese origins and its ability to roll up on itself in no time, the futon is ideal!

· It is equally suitable for sober interiors, inspired by Japanese decors, as for a nomadic style design, with lamps, paintings and rugs from elsewhere.

· Between 10 and 12 cm thick, it adapts to occasional sleeping, while, between 15 and 18 cm, it can be installed on a box spring or a bench for more comfort.

· For use on a fixed bed, prefer a coconut or latex futon, which is also recommended for fragile backs.

The electric bed to relax

Not to be confused with the medical bed, reserved for patients, the electric relaxation bed is the ally of your desires for relaxation. Massages, vibrations, inclinations, he can do it all!

· Depending on the different models, many positions are available: more or less raised legs, raised back, etc.

· Some electric beds combined with a massage mattress and a vibrating bed base emit vibrations or ripples that relieve a sore body or invaded by nervous tension.

· Electric beds usually have the appearance of a classic bed, which you can however customize with a custom headboard or an original bedspread.

Design and space-saving suspended bed

A mattress that floats in the air, there is nothing better for sweet dreams! The suspended bed is the ultimate comfortable custom beds. Comparable to a hammock, it usually has ropes or metal rods that hold it to the ceiling. A wall mounting system, placed at the headboard, can also be added to relieve the straps that suspend it from the ceiling. The suspended bed can be of any size, single, double or even king size. This bed is ideal for decorating your bedroom while saving space. Once the suspended bed is installed, you must ask yourself which mattress to choose . To know how to choose a mattress for your suspended bed, you must:

· Take the measurements of your bed frame

· Make sure the mattress will not be too heavy for your bindings

· Opt for comfortable technology

The best mattress for you may not be the best for your better half. Then you can buy a memory foam mattress that will give everyone a good night's sleep! To make your choice of mattress , a mattress comparison can be useful.

A bed as comfortable as it is decorative

Which bed to choose when you want to put the odds in your favor for quality sleep? Once you have opted for this or that bed design, in fact, do not forget the most important for your comfort: the choice of the mattress!

· Bet on natural materials. Mattresses made of synthetic fibers quickly fall prey to dust mites. Wool is an optimal choice thanks to its thermoregulatory properties, just like cotton or linen.

· For maximum firmness and support, prefer natural latex to springs.

· Finally, two individual mattresses rather than a single large mattress will ensure you full independence during the night hours ...
