The bed is the center of the bedroom. Is it comfortable to sleep on? Does it look good when displayed? These are questions that everyone will consider when choosing a bed. So, why are you still confused after reading so many bloggers' tips on choosing a big bed? The reason is that you don't understand the underlying logic of buying a bed, so of course you can't grasp the key points when purchasing.

As a person who has been through this, this time I would like to share with you the 5 underlying logics of buying a bed that I have summarized for your reference and discussion:

1. How wide should I buy?

The first question most people face when buying a bed is the size. How big a bed should you buy? In fact, you need to first clarify a few dimensions:

(1) The proportion of the bed in the entire bedroom

The ideal proportion of the bed area in the bedroom should be 1/3 of the bedroom area. Based on this standard, for bedrooms with an area of ​​less than 10 square meters, it is recommended to choose a bed of less than 1.2 meters; for bedrooms with an area of ​​10 to 20 square meters, choose a bed of 1.5 meters; for bedrooms with an area of ​​more than 20 square meters, you can choose a bed of 1.8 meters.

Small-sized bedrooms are usually compact, but the area of ​​the bed should not exceed 1/2 of the bedroom area, otherwise the space will be cramped, affecting storage and access. When choosing, make sure the aisle between the end of the bed and the wall is larger than 80 cm, so that you can pass through normally.

(2) The size of the bed

The bed frame specifications of a single bed are usually between 0.8 and 1.2 meters, while the bed frame specifications of a double bed are generally between 1.5 and 1.8 meters. If there is enough space in the bedroom, it is recommended to choose a double bed that is more than 1.8 meters long, so that two people can sleep more comfortably.

(3) Bed back height

The height of the bed back is also one of the key points in selection, because it will have a significant impact on comfort. The recommended height is between 50 and 80 cm, which is a more reasonable height to ensure that the head is more comfortable when sitting on the bed.

2. How high to buy?

(1) Overall height

The height of the bed affects the convenience of the bed in actual use. It is inconvenient if it is too high or too low. It is best if the total height of the bed frame and mattress is close to the height of the user's knees.

For most adults, the most suitable height of the bed is about 50 cm. If there are children and elderly people at home, the bed can be lower.

(2) Bed foot height

First of all, it is not recommended to choose this box-type floor bed, because the air circulation inside the bed frame is poor, which is not conducive to sleep and health.

Secondly, the height of the bed frame from the ground should be more than 12 cm, which allows most sweeping robots on the market to enter and exit freely, and also makes it convenient for daily brooms and mops to be reached in for cleaning.

3. Which material to buy?

Common types of beds on the market include leather beds, fabric beds, solid wood beds and wrought iron beds. Different materials have different advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on personal preferences and needs. Here are some personal suggestions:

(1) Leather bed is the first choice

The advantage of a leather bed is that it is comfortable and easy to maintain. If the surface gets dirty, just wipe it off with a wet towel. Maintain it with leather care solution once every six months or so. It is durable and looks high-end.

Be careful not to choose a leather bed with wrinkles, as the gaps can easily harbor dirt and grime and are difficult to clean.

In addition, when purchasing a leather bed, you should pay attention to the coverage area of ​​the leather. Generally, the backrest of the bed is mostly made of leather, but the bedside is mostly made of artificial leather. The advantage of this combination is that the price is low. If you have higher requirements for quality, you should choose full leather.

(2) Second choice: fabric bed

The headboard and bed frame of a fabric bed are wrapped with cotton and linen fabrics. The advantage is that the fabric is skin-friendly and the price is much more affordable than genuine leather.

In addition, the colors and textures of fabrics are relatively rich, so the styles that can be created are also varied, and can be matched with bedrooms with different decoration styles.

The disadvantage of fabric beds is that they are easy to accumulate dust and are usually troublesome to clean. Those who have pets at home or those who don’t like cleaning should choose them carefully.

(3) Solid wooden beds are also good

The largest share of beds on the market is actually solid wood beds. The advantages of solid wood beds are warm and natural texture, stable and durable structure, and can be well matched with different styles of decoration.

However, the prices of solid wood beds on the market vary greatly, and the quality varies greatly, so you need to be careful when choosing. In addition, you need to pay special attention to the problem of excessive formaldehyde, and you must choose at least the domestic environmental standard E2 level to be qualified.

(4) Do not choose a wrought iron bed

Wrought iron beds are usually cheap and easy to transport and assemble, but the biggest problem is that after a period of use, they will make creaking noises due to the welding process or moisture, which greatly affects the experience.

(5) Smart beds can be tried

Smart beds are a style that has gradually become popular in recent years, and many young people want to try them.

The advantage of a smart bed is that the bed frame and mattress can be controlled in height and curvature through remote control, and can better adapt to the needs of different heights and sleeping positions, thereby improving comfort and sleep quality. If you like, you can try it boldly.

4. Is it stable?

The stability of the bed frame determines the comfort, safety and durability of a bed, and is also a key point that must be paid attention to when choosing a large bed.

When choosing a bed, you can pay attention to whether the bed legs are strong enough, whether there are supporting legs inside, whether the structure between the crossbeam and longitudinal beam of the bed frame is solid, whether the design is reasonable, and whether there are reinforcement measures.

If you buy it on-site, you can just shake the bed frame with your hands to feel its stability.

5. Does it look good?

The appearance of the bed must also be paid attention to. After all, no one wants to buy an ugly bed to put in their home. When choosing, pay attention to the color and style of the bed should be coordinated with the overall decoration style of the bedroom.

You can choose a color that is similar to or in sharp contrast to the furniture and wall colors. In addition, you can also choose different styles according to your personal preferences, such as simple, modern, pastoral, etc.

In short, buying a bed is a process that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. In addition to paying attention to basic factors such as size, height, and type, you also need to choose according to your needs and budget.
