Five conditions of good sleep
Which bed is best suited for family comfort and will create the necessary conditions for a good sleep? There are five factors that determine the level of comfort:
- form - the appearance and functionality;
- dimensions - length, width and height;
- construction - the frame and materials;
- the basis for the bed - determines its security;
- mattress - protects your health.
Which bed is best suited for family comfort and will create the necessary conditions for a good sleep?
Let us consider each of them.
The classic rectangular form - the basis of bedroom furniture.
1. Form - beauty or practicality?
The classic rectangular form - the basis of bedroom furniture. The beds in the shape of a heart or a circle look spectacular, but inconvenient in everyday family life. Sleep together on such exclusive beds can only be hugged, to avoid falling in a dream on the floor. You can curl up, but if you have a bad back, it will not be restful sleep. For irregularly shaped bed sheets need to sew and capes on order. It requires more than an empty space that will be used inefficiently.

ON A NOTE! If you do not have enough space for lockers for storing clothes and other necessary items, use a bed with built-in drawers.
Beds transformers to help you solve the problem of lack of space in the apartment with a small area. During the day they can be converted into a wardrobe, a wall or a comfortable desk, bedside table. Also note the folding bunk beds, masquerading under the sofa.
For irregularly shaped bed sheets need to sew and capes on order.
Holders of a spacious apartment for the soul will have a bed on a podium. The idea to raise a cozy nest above the madding crowd is sure to bring your relationship to a higher level, but not before a good think about the advisability of this step.
Selection of the bed frame depends on the number of people who will sleep on it.
A more practical solution would be equipment podium drawers. In fact, you get a full closet, pretending to bed.
2. Sizes - it all depends on the breadth, length and height
In Russia and Europe, widely used separation of beds in three categories - single, double and sesquilinear. But everyone has individual growth values and shoulder width, which do not always fit into the Procrustean bed of such a classification.
With good build quality this bed will last a long time.
The most important thing - the size of a berth. The length should not be less than your height, you can safely add 20 cm. Choose a bed width necessary to help the following simple way: lie down on it severely in the middle, raskinte arms to the side and bend them at the elbows. If they stayed within the bedroom area - you do not make a mistake in choosing.
On the low bed is easier to catch a cold from a draft.
In the furniture stores you can choose a bed made by European and American standards. In order to buy comfortable furniture, use our comparison table:
| Type of (Number of beds) |
Russia, Europe (Width, m - length of all types to 2.1 m) |
America (Length x width, m) |
| Single | 0,9-1 | Twin - 1,90h0,99. Twin X-Long - 2,03h0,99. |
| semi | 1-1,3 | No |
| double | 1,4-1,6 | Full - 1,37h1,90, Queen - 1,52h2,03. |
| Double (family) | 1,80-2,00 | Standart King - 1,98 × 2,03, Western King - 1,83h2,13 |
Base height also influences the comfort.
Base height also influences the comfort. It depends on the environment and local cultural traditions. On the low bed is easier to catch a cold from a draft. For Europe with a cooler climate is considered to be the best value in the range of 0.5-0.6 m, while in Asia does not exceed 0.4 m Most painfully fall inhabitants of America -. the minimum height of the bed starts from 0.8 m.
Material and semi bed frame may be the same.
ON A NOTE! For older people preferred high position bed base - so they spend less effort when getting up in the morning.
Everyone has individual values increase and shoulder width, which do not always fit into the Procrustean bed of such a classification.
3. The frame and the material - the more serious the relationship is, the stronger
Selection of the bed frame depends on the number of people who will sleep on it. Single bed can be made from chipboard and consist of two backrest carriers (headboard and footboard) and two longitudinal side walls - drawer side. With good build quality this bed will last a long time.
Material and semi bed frame may be the same. But the more common version of the four drawer side, four legs and one hinged headboard.
But the more common version of the four drawer side, four legs and one hinged headboard.
Double bed and family are experiencing an increased load. So do not buy the economy version. The best solution is a metal frame or conduit from solid wood.
Headboard (headboard and footboard) - the important elements of the frame, to perform several tasks:
- in single and semi embodiments, they are bearing frame member;
- prevent the fall of pillows and blankets slipping on the floor;
- protect from contact with the wall parts of the body - do not spoil the wallpaper, and reduces the risk of colds disease - remember how we like to watch TV before going to bed, his back against the headboard;
- in some models of the foot is in the form of a narrow high box and convertible, which is convenient for storing soft things;
- on the back of the head, you can install night lights for easy reading.
Double bed and family are experiencing an increased load.
4. The base for the bed - you can only rely on what offers resistance
The main rule - the bottom of the bed should not sag under the weight of the mattress and sleeping people. Therefore, with the base of the cot stretched dense tissue structures with metal gratings are useful only as a temporary berth.
The base of the most popular now bent slats, glued wood veneer, facilitates the design and calmly withstand heavy loads. But it can easily break if your kids decide to use the bed as a trampoline.
The best solution is a metal frame or conduit from solid wood.
The base of the bed should be a solid piece of thick plywood or particle board. Allowed array of planks with a small gap therebetween.
IMPORTANT! When buying a bed made of wood, make sure that the jumpers inside the box longitudinal, fulfilling the function of additional support. It evenly distributes the load of the dormant and prevents extrusion of the bed base.
On the back of the head, you can install night lights for easy reading.
5. Mattress - the balance of yin and yang is in mutual agreement
Take carefully to his choice. Products coming complete with a bed, do not take into account the individual characteristics of your figure. And when the double bed, it occurs between spouses natural conflict of interest that should be resolved as quickly as possible.
Cheap foam products are pressed quickly and lose their original shape - they can not withstand long-term use. Give up such a mattress, or hide in the closet and use for guests.
The main rule - the bottom of the bed should not sag under the weight of the mattress and sleeping people.
If your weight categories are the same, suitable for a bed mattress with a base consisting of a dependent spring units about 100 units per 1 sq. meter. The upper part of each spring is connected to an adjacent. This method provides the necessary orthopedic stiffness, but has a drawback. When a large difference in weight of the outer surface forms a slope towards heavier spouse. And it is fraught with its inevitable slipping off the bed onto the floor during sleep.
It requires more than an empty space that will be used inefficiently.
The second consequence of this method of binding the springs - an unpleasant loud creak. You can make a good sound insulation in the apartment, but it would be cheaper to buy a mattress for a bed, made with the use of independent springs technology (EVS) - more than 200 pieces per square meter. meter. Each of them carries its share of the load, without transferring it to an adjacent element, and is enclosed in a shell, which eliminates friction and suppresses clicks published by the sudden compression. Surface finely adjusts to the shape of your body, eliminating distortion.
The base of the most popular now bent slats, glued wood veneer, facilitates the design and calmly withstand heavy loads.
But this disagreement in the bed can not be completed - your spouse likes to sleep on a hard surface, and you are used to feather bed. In today's mattress for softness meets a layer of batting or latex, and the stiffness is created followed by a felt or coconut fiber (coir). The ratio of the thicknesses of these components gives the required surface properties.
If your tastes are radically different, buy a bed for twin mattress of the same size, different surface hardness. You can also purchase a product in which one half of the intention to make softer. A similar effect can be achieved by using less taut spring.
For older people preferred high position bed base - so they spend less effort when getting up in the morning.
When the difference in weight over 50 kg family idyll save product made by DS technology. Between conventional units independent springs uniformly distributed elements made on a "two in one" - a high spring with a large diameter is inserted is narrower at length. The ratio of conventional reinforced elements and is approximately 260 to 130 per 1 square. meter. When the outside can not cope with the load, to the aid of the inner spring. This design significantly extends their use.
Protective cover should not accumulate dust and moisture and wiped up holes. The best material is a jacquard - it consists of cotton and synthetic materials.
The length should not be less than your height, you can safely add 20 cm.
NOTE! The greater the content of cotton jacquard, the greater its strength.
A good and cheaper solution is to cover from knitted fabric. Products from polyester durable and do not absorb moisture, but poorly ventilated and create a weak coefficient of friction - slip sheets easily. Cases of calico "breathe", but quickly wiped.
The most important thing - the size of a berth.
Each bed must know their place!
Ergonomics has long developed a simple and mandatory rules to help conveniently place it in the room:
- double bed headboard is better to put on the wall;
- between surrounding objects and the sidewalls should be free space bed at least 70 cm;
- do not place the bed in front of the window - to wake up from bright sunlight to very few people like it, and the risk earn chronic colds from the constant drafts significantly increase;
- do not place the bed in the middle of the room - the best option would be a niche or space in the furniture wall.
In the furniture stores you can choose a bed made by European and American standards.
Listen carefully to the advice of an interior designer. The bed should match the selected style.
- Wicker design with bamboo frame, ideal for the ecological style, but will not fit well with a minimalist design.
- High podium or platform is well fit into the high-tech, but it will look like it does not matter in the interior of the Romanesque style or Provence, as well as in rooms with low ceilings.
There are five factors that determine the level of comfort.
IMPORTANT! Beds of this form will organically look in a separate bedroom, but podium height must not exceed 0.2 m.
From there, you start and end your day.
Because, as you rest at night, it depends on the productivity of your day. Therefore, careful approach to the choice of the bed - it plays an important role in this. To nest family life was really comfortable, make sure that for your loved ones has been a welcome homecoming.
If you do not have enough space for lockers for storing clothes and other necessary items, use a bed with built-in drawers.
