Among all furniture, there is no other piece of furniture that has such a long-lasting and close relationship with people as the bed. "Without a comfortable and good bed, there is no happy home life." For most people, they sleep for 8 hours a day, and one-third of their lives are spent in bed. In addition to sleeping, the bed can also be used for lying reading, massage, yoga and other home functions.

　　Many insiders in the home furnishing industry believe that the size of the bed, the height, width, and placement of the bed in the bedroom all determine the comfort of the bed. "The bigger the bed, the more comfortable it is." In order to get a good sleep quality and keep your body and mind healthy, we must adjust the healthy size of the bed that suits you and your family in our own homes.

　　Bed size

　　No more than 1/2 of the bedroom area

　　Many people tend to choose large beds when buying new furniture. In fact, large beds are not as ideal as imagined after they are brought home. "The bigger the bed, the more comfortable it is to sleep on. This is a misunderstanding." Lan Min, general manager of Chengdu Sleep Center of American Lace Mattress, who has 13 years of in-depth knowledge of sleep, analyzed that the large-sized beds placed in the furniture showroom do look good, but once placed in one's own bedroom, the huge size of the bed occupies a lot of the bedroom. The bedside tables and dressing tables are usually placed next to the bed. The carefully arranged bedroom becomes crowded, which makes the bedroom space look "smaller". From a psychological point of view, people will feel depressed when sleeping in such a space. In addition, a large bed will also bring limitations to the choice of bedding. Light-colored and floral bedding will only make the bed look larger. Over time, it will make the sleeper feel lonely visually.

　　It is better to choose the size of the bed according to the area of ​​the bedroom. The area of ​​the bed has a crucial impact on the overall effect of the bedroom. It is best not to exceed half of the bedroom area. If the size of the bed only occupies one-third of the bedroom area, it is even better.

　　If your bedroom is small and you must use a double bed, Lan Min suggests placing the bed against the wall, or using bright colors and fresh patterns, or a light-colored bed to make the bed appear smaller in the space, making your sleeping space more comfortable and cozy.

　　The best bed height is slightly higher than the sleeper's knees

　　The size of the bed is determined by the area of ​​the bedroom, while the height of the bed is determined by the body of the sleeper. Generally speaking, the height of the bed should be slightly higher than the knees of the sleeper by 1~3cm. According to the average height of a person, the best height of the bed is 46~60cm. If it is too high, it will be inconvenient for the sleeper to get in and out of bed. If it is too low, the sleeper will be easily affected by the moisture of the ground and inhale the dust on the ground during sleep. He may even feel dizzy when he wakes up in the morning due to the low pressure all night. The bed should not be close to the ground. The bottom of the bed should be empty and no sundries should be piled up. Otherwise, it will be poorly ventilated and easy to get damp, which will cause backache.

　　It should be emphasized that the healthy bed height of 46~60cm is the height from the bed surface to the ground after the mattress and bedding are laid. If it is a bare bed, the height is more reasonable at 20~30cm, and the mattress thickness is preferably more than 25cm. Because the healthy height of the seat is about 40cm, when sitting on the bed, the height of the 46cm mattress from the ground is just about 40cm after being compressed.

　　In addition to the height of the bed, you also need to pay special attention to the height of the pillow, which will directly affect the body's sleep. Generally speaking, the height of the pillow for adults should be 15 cm, which is slightly lower for the elderly and children, and about 6 cm for infants. This is conducive to the normal blood supply to the brain, relaxation of the neck muscles, and smooth breathing of the lungs.

　　Properly place the bed to sleep comfortably

　　After the size and height of the bed are determined, you should pay attention to the placement of the bed in the bedroom so that the movement lines of the entire space are clear and it is convenient for the occupants to use, so that the bed can be truly comfortable.

　　Some studies have shown that sleeping in a north-south direction is more beneficial to health, and the best direction for the bed in the bedroom is north-south. Because there is a large but weak magnetic field between the South Pole and the North Pole of the Earth, if the human body follows the north-south direction of the geomagnetic field for a long time, it can make the human organ cells orderly, adjust and enhance the organ function. It is best to face the head to the north and the feet to the south, so that the magnetic lines pass through the human body smoothly, which can minimize the interference of the earth's magnetic field and make people more peaceful. The bed should not be placed with the head facing east or west, because the sleeper will cut the earth's magnetic lines when lying down, generating induced electricity, which is not good for health over time.

　　It is best not to place the bed at the door or facing the door, so as to avoid a lack of privacy and security, which will affect rest; the bed should not be placed under a beam, so as not to create a sense of oppression; the bed should not face a mirror, so as to avoid the sleeper being frightened by the reflection in the mirror when getting up in the middle of the night, causing mental anxiety; plants with long pointed leaves and square or rectangular furniture should not be too close to the bed, and it is best to be 1 meter away.
