How to choose a bed with such a large selection of styles, directions and not make mistakes? We so want the space of the bedroom and bed, in particular, to look stylish, correspond to current trends, is comfortable, comfortable and beautiful. Let’s analyze the criteria of bed selection, starting with functionality, and then we will touch on styles and directions, because as the architect Louis Sullivan said – «form follows function».
Bedroom size plays a key role
First of all, you should be comfortable!
If we are talking about a single option, then for one child or adult suitable sleeping place from 90*200 to 140*200 cm (if the dimensions of the room allow you to consider larger options).
For a comfortable sleep of the pair (so you do not interfere with each other) add to the width of your shoulders another 20 cm on each side and get a minimum sleeping place. For couples, we recommend mattress sizes ranging from 160*200 or more.
As for the length of the mattress is usually enough standard 200 cm. However, if your height is more than 180 cm, it is better to consider a mattress for a longer length.
Important: the size of the bed and the size of the bed are different things!! Therefore, you should take into account that when sleeping place 180*200, the bed will be larger in size length, and width.
Example:
Note the specifications of the bed.
If we consider a sleeping place 180*200, the width of the headboard based on the «passport» of the bed, will be 209 cm, and the length – 220 cm.

- When choosing a bed, you need to make a decision, the bed will stand on the legs or support for the bed will serve as lateral strokes (these are the side panels of the bed).
- Leg bed: Supports the legs.
Bed Birdland
- A leg-less bed.
A leg-less bed looks more massive, solid, but it’s a bit of a drag. The footbed empties your bedroom visually as light falls under the bed. On the question of cleaning – a bed without legs does not require wet cleaning under the bed (usually), and under the bed under the feet perfectly cleaned by a robot vacuum cleaner.
- Whether you need a bed with a storage space or not depends directly on your layout. Almost all modern models can be completed with a lifting mechanism and a niche for storing things. And here the important question arises, how to facilitate the cleaning under the bed, given the fact that in the storage niche, and under the bed itself, there is a collection of dust. We recommend paying attention to the latest developments of Italian designers.

However retractable linen boxes require additional space at extension and are problematic in rooms with limited space. They are more suitable for beds in the children’s room, as the child will be able to easily use the box.
Of course, you can still find beds with a flat solid base for a mattress or a base of wooden rails fastened with tape, but a modern orthopedic base with adjustable stiffness and flexible beech laminates inserted into the pockets of special rubber shock absorbers will be much more comfortable and healthy.

- If the bed is made of wood, then most likely the bed will have concise, straight lines that are suitable for the bedroom in the style of Country, Skandi, Loft. But the bed of precious wood is more likely to have a carved back and tsargami and will be perfect if you choose a bedroom design in the classic or art deco. Of the cons – wood is sensitive to temperature and humidity, and if you accidentally bump your foot on a wooden bed, then, of course, there will be painful sensations (for the same reason, if you have small children, it is better to consider other options).
Wooden bed
Carved beds
- The option of a bed of metal with elements of forging also «has to be» (style of Provence, Loft) although, if you like to read, leaning back on the headboard, you will have to stock up on a lot of decorative pillows).
Forged beds
- And we’re moving on to the most sustainable trend of recent years, soft beds. «Soft bed» can be made of various types of fabric: velour, velvet, chenille, horn, jacquard, pied de bullets, genuine leather giving space for designers and manufacturers.
Beds with soft headboards are incredibly comfortable to use, and fabrics combined with soft lining on the tsar and headboard smooth corners and shapes, give a sense of comfort and safety.

Beds can be made in different styles – choose to your liking. In the beds the middle and premium segment of fabric (covers) is removable – with velcro and zippers. They are easy to care for (can be washed if desired) with wear resistance and they are at height.
The rich choice of colours gives you the opportunity to realize any design ideas. Of the trends to keep natural shades – beige, pistachio, dark green, dark and light grey, ash or tea rose, lilac. Always white and black. Do not be afraid to add accent colours behind the headboard they will add a highlight to the interior, but will not annoy you when you rest on the bed. By the way, if we talked about headboards, that is not only straight headboards but also folding pillows for comfortable rest or reading.
