It is very important to consider all the factors when buying a bed, as it is without doubt one of the most difficult pieces of furniture to choose. Not only does it have to look stylish but it has to be comfortable, as it is that comfort and support that gives you a good night’s sleep and lets you wake up in the morning feeling fresh and ready to go.
Experts recommend purchasing a new bed every eight to ten years, so if your bed is over ten years old, now is the time for change. In fact, the average person spends over a third of their lives in bed, so making the right decision is essential.
There are a huge range of choices when it comes to beds; including size, price, and style, accompanying headboards, mattress type and even pillows.
When a comes to size, a bigger bed helps reduce back pain and aids sleep, as the extra room allows partners to find the most comfortable position without disturbing each another. Make sure you check the width of the bed, as a standard double bed is only 135cm (4ft 6 in) wide. The length of the bed is important too and ideally it must be at least 10-15cm (4-6in) longer than the tallest person planning to sleep in the bed. Height is another factor that should be considered, as getting in and out of the bed needs to be simple. If you have difficulties then an adjustable bed could be right the option for you.
Prices of the beds can vary dramatically but generally speaking the more you spend on a bed, the more comfortable and durable you can expect it to be. Remember a bed is a long-term investment and will probably last over ten years, so it can be worthwhile spending that little bit extra.
Beds also come in a vast array of styles to suit any home. These can be classic four-poster beds, canopy beds, and contemporary platform beds and can have wooden, metal or even leather finishes. The choice of headboard is another element that influences the style of your bed. With a bit of research you can find a bed that will complement your decor or even be the centre piece of you room.
Mattresses have a huge impact on comfort and again there are many different choices. Some people prefer soft mattresses and others hard. Springs are often considered the hear t of a mattress but the modern choice is often foam, which adapts to the shape of your body. The same is true of pillows, with latex pillows designed to keep the neck in alignment with the rest of the spine.
