My house is an old one, and the bed has been used for many years, and it is now shaky. Because my wife gave birth to a second child, I plan to change a new bed in the near future. First, the old bed at home really needs to be replaced, and second, it is also to give my wife a more comfortable environment to rest, and it is convenient for the two of us to take care of the child together. On the way to buy a bed, I pulled in an expert who used to be a carpenter. Thanks to the expert's reminder, I learned these 4 bed-buying tips!

An expert told me that when it comes to buying a bed, laymen only watch the excitement while experts look at the doorway. There are many skills in buying a bed, which can be summarized into these four points.

1. Look at the quality of the bed

The quality of a bed is mainly reflected in its sturdiness and service life. For example, the legs of some beds are supported by two wooden boards, which are shaky and do not look very sturdy. After buying it home, not only will you feel uneasy sleeping on it, but you will also have to be prepared for the danger of the bed collapsing at any time. Generally speaking, the service life of such a bed will not be particularly long. If you take good care of it, it can be used for one or two years. If children like to jump on the bed, the bed may break in less than a year. Moreover, when buying a bed, you must pay attention to whether it will shake when you move on the bed. This is very important. After all, if the bed makes a sound, many "things" that adults do will not be comfortable, right? Among all beds, the quality and service life of solid wood beds are the best. Generally, the normal service life of an ordinary bed may be between 3-5 years, while a solid wood bed can be used for at least 20 years if nothing unexpected happens.

2. Look at the style of the bed

The bed is a kind of furniture, and it is also an important item to match the decoration style. Therefore, when we buy a bed, it is very important to choose the style of the bed. If the house is decorated in Western style, then the bed should also be a Western style bed. If the house is just an ordinary decoration, then just choose a bed with an ordinary style. An expert joked to me that since my house is already an old house, it doesn’t matter whether it has a style or not, the main thing is to choose a good quality one.

3. Check the environmental friendliness of the bed

Experts say that the environmental protection of beds is a very important criterion for bed selection. Many cheap beds on the market now fail to meet environmental quality standards. This is because cheap beds may use a lot of glue as an adhesive when they are manufactured, and they are also painted to cover up the flaws of the materials used. These things contain a lot of harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene. If we sleep on such beds for a long time and breathe in these harmful substances, it will definitely have an impact on our bodies, especially for families like mine with children, whose resistance is poor and who are at great risk of getting sick!

4. Check the after-sales service of the bed

Whether a bed is good or not depends largely on the after-sales service. It is difficult for us to guarantee that furniture will not have problems during use. If there is after-sales service, once there is a problem, we can ask after-sales service to solve it, which can save us a lot of unnecessary trouble. Moreover, manufacturers with after-sales service mean that they are more formal, so we don't have to worry about its quality problems.

On the way to buy a bed, I benefited a lot from talking to an expert. I didn't know there were so many tips for buying a bed before. Especially in terms of environmental protection, I thought that a bed could be used for sleeping after buying it, but I didn't expect that I had to pay attention to whether it contained formaldehyde. If I bought a bed with formaldehyde, my wife and children would sleep on such a bed every day, which would be very bad for their health! The expert finally suggested that I buy a solid wood bed.

He said that the quality of solid wood beds is acceptable. They are made entirely of solid wood and are very strong. Moreover, solid wood beds can be matched with a variety of styles. For example, the styles we usually decorate are very compatible with solid wood beds. The most important thing is that solid wood beds are made of wood, the surface decoration is made of carving art, and the joints are made of mortise and tenon joints. There is no glue and very little paint, which is very good in terms of health. As for after-sales service, as long as you don't buy a bed from those small workshops, the after-sales service is generally very good, so you don't have to worry about it!
