Good sleep makes you fit for the day and has a positive effect on our health. In a global study with more than 100,000 participants, researchers found out: Those who sleep between six and eight hours a day live longer. A high-quality bed with a good mattress helps to achieve this sleep duration.
Which bed is suitable for your individual needs?
When choosing the right bed, several factors are important. In addition to the dimensions, the design and the materials used play a decisive role.
Which size is suitable for your bed?
The bed is the center of the bedroom. In order to stretch out comfortably at night and sleep well, a sufficiently large sleeping surface is important. The standard sleeping surface of a single bed is 90×200 centimeters. Beds with a width of 100 to 140 centimeters offer more space – for example for overnight guests.
For couples or singles who prefer a lot of space, double beds are suitable. These have a width of 160 to 180 centimeters. If children crawl under the covers at night, a sleeping surface of 200×200 centimeters is recommended. In many beds, partners lie on two separate mattresses. Alternatively, there are models with a continuous mattress. According to a Statista survey from November 2016, these make up the lion's share.
Which bed fits best with the spatial conditions?
In addition to adapting the bed to your physical needs, its practicality plays a decisive role. If you need additional storage space in the bedroom, a bed with a bed box is a good option. Alternatively, functional beds with many drawers are suitable.
Furthermore, the architectural features of your bedroom affect the bed purchase. In a room with a sloping ceiling, low futon beds that fit underneath are recommended.
Which type of bed is right for you?
Another important selection criterion is the design and material of the new bed. The types of sleeping arrangements differ:
Box spring beds
Due to their construction, which is characterized by two layers of pocket spring mattresses and an additional topper, these beds offer high comfort. They support the body so that you lie soft as a feather. For people with back problems, this type of bed is a good solution.
Solid wood beds
If you prefer natural beds, models made of solid wood are in the foreground. The material proves to be sustainable and durable. At allnatura, Solid wood beds are available in different types of wood. Beech and oak are particularly hard. Due to their stability and durability, they are suitable as double beds. These types of wood contain comparatively little resin, which makes them predestined for allergy sufferers. Wooden beds made of soft woods consist of Spruce or pine.
Metal beds
If you prefer a minimalist style, metal beds are a good choice. They impress with their straightforward, modern look. Alternatively, there are playful shapes that fit the vintage interior style. With the material, you benefit from low maintenance and a long service life.
