When decorating, we all need to buy furniture, which includes beds.

The bed actually determines our sleep quality to a certain extent and affects the living environment.

Therefore, when choosing a bed, don't be careless and try to buy a bed that suits you. No matter if you have money or not, don't buy the following seven types of beds. They are all lessons learned from experience.

1. Don’t buy a leather bed

If you go to buy a bed, you will find that many high-end beds are leather beds. Of course, some are genuine leather beds.

As for the leather, if it is artificial leather, it is recommended that you do not buy it.

Because leather beds have the following problems:

①. The first problem of artificial leather is aging, cracking, and peeling on the surface, which is very ugly.

② The leather surface looks very rigid and feels rough to the touch, which makes it look very cheap.

So, when choosing a bed, if your budget is limited, choose an ordinary bed, not one covered with leather.

Of course, if we have enough budget and like leather, then we can choose a genuine leather bed.

For example, I can choose the top layer of cowhide, which is not only durable and breathable, but also has a very delicate feel. Of course, the disadvantage is obvious, that is, the price is high.

In addition, if we have a normal budget and like fabric, then we can choose a fabric bed. It has a high cost performance, but the surface is easy to accumulate dust and is particularly easy to get dirty.

(ii) Don’t buy a soft cushioned bed

When we buy beds, we will find that many headboards are padded, and even some bed sides are padded.

However, the fillings in beds of different prices are different.

For example, the relatively cheap stuffing is very cheap. Like the toys we buy, the stuffing inside is this kind.

Cheap filling soft cushions have the following problems:

①. Easy to collapse. After living in the bed for a while, we found that the head or side of the bed collapsed. This is because the filling material is of poor quality and too low density.

② Short service life: Cheap fillings usually break down after 3 to 5 years of use.

③. Smell. This is also the most serious situation of cheap fillers. Because of the use of unqualified cheap fillers, there is always a smell.

So, if I didn’t choose a bed and wanted to choose one with a padded soft backrest, I would recommend choosing high-density sponge.

The soft backrest is filled with high-density sponge. It has very good hardness and high resilience. It will not collapse and has a long service life.

In fact, it is easy to tell. When buying a bed, just ask the salesperson to open the cushion and look at the filling inside.

In addition, if our budget is sufficient, there is actually another option, which is high-density sponge with an additional layer of down material. This will make the soft surface softer, with better wrapping and comfort, but the price will be higher.

(III): Don’t buy a wooden bed

The wooden bed mentioned here means that the bed board is made of a whole piece of wood.

When we buy a bed, we actually do not recommend that you choose a bed made of solid wood.

You will find that there are very few solid wooden beds on the market now.

Because the whole board wooden bed has the following problems:

①. The air permeability is very poor. Especially for some humid areas, mold will grow on the board, which is very harmful to the body over time.

②, General stability. Especially some cheap wooden boards, which may be multi-layer boards, will be deformed after a period of use. The stability is not very good.

Therefore, if we choose a bed, try to avoid choosing a traditional bed made of whole wood boards. In fact, I personally recommend that you choose a slatted frame bed.

When choosing a slatted bed, you should pay attention to choosing a solid wood slatted bed instead of artificial boards such as density boards and plywood. For this, you can look at the cross section of the slatted bed board.

In addition, we also need to pay attention to the gap between the ribs, and try to choose a gap within 5 cm. This is because the diameter of the independent spring is generally less than 6 cm. If the gap is too large, the spring will be stuck in the middle, resulting in uneven reception and deformation.

Another point to pay attention to is the support under the bed. In addition to the force-bearing support on all sides, there should be two longitudinal supports in the middle. There are reinforced supports in the middle of the left and right rows of frames, which will make it more stable.

(IV): Don’t buy a bed with sharp corners

When buying a bed, many friends may overlook one thing, which is the corners of the bed. Because beds basically have four corners.

One thing we must pay attention to is that we must not buy beds with sharp corners.

Although there are fewer beds with sharp corners nowadays, they still exist, so everyone should avoid them.

A bed with sharp corners may cause the following problems:

①. Bumps. This is especially serious if there are children at home. Because children like to run around the house, it is easy for them to bump into the bed. If it is a sharp angle, the consequences will be very serious.

②, easy to scratch. When walking in the bedroom, you may accidentally bump into the bed. If it is a sharp corner, it may not only bump but also scratch.

Therefore, when choosing a bed, we should also pay attention to the craftsmanship of the bed. When we choose, try to choose a bed with rounded corners, the effect will be better.

Of course, if we have already purchased a bed with sharp corners, we should try to take measures to wash and protect the corners to avoid bumps.

(V): Don’t buy a floor bed

Beds are divided into different types according to the form of the legs. For example, there are traditional floor-mounted beds and beds with four-leg support.

When choosing a bed, I personally recommend that you do not choose the traditional floor-mounted bed, and try to choose one with four legs.

Because the floor-mounted bed has the following problems:

①, Poor ventilation. Items stored under the bed are prone to mold. In fact, some traditional beds with storage boxes all have this problem. Clothes placed inside will become moldy after a while and have a smell.

② Difficult to clean. It is usually very difficult to clean under the bed. You will find that after a period of time, there is a layer of fluffy cotton inside.

③. It is easy to shake. Because of the overall installation, the bed may be unevenly stressed due to the ground problem, and the bed will shake over time.

Therefore, I personally recommend that you try to choose one with four supports. And the gap below should be more than 12 cm, preferably 15 cm.

Because now many families are equipped with sweeping robots, if it is less than 12cm, the sweeping robot cannot enter. If we can choose 15cm, the sweeping robot can easily enter and sweep the bottom of the bed very cleanly.

(Six): Don’t buy invisible beds

A hidden bed refers to a foldable bed that we buy because our indoor space is limited.

There are many types of invisible beds, such as push-pull beds, foldable beds, etc.

However, no matter which type of invisible bed it is, it is not recommended to buy it.

Although the invisible bed seems to save space, it is actually useless when you actually use it.

Invisible beds inevitably have the following problems:

①. It is very troublesome to open it every time. Before going to bed, you should clean the bed and fold it up. You will find it annoying after using it a few times.

②, Use it occasionally, the utilization rate is very low, it is not cost-effective. And at this time, a storage cabinet space will usually be sacrificed. Therefore, the utilization rate is very low.

Therefore, for most families, it is not recommended to install a hidden bed.

The space in our home is really limited. In fact, we can choose to install more cabinets on the wall, or even choose tatami.

(VII): Don’t buy a bed with a low headboard and backrest

Beds come in a variety of forms depending on the backrest, most of which have medium-height backrests, and some have special backrests.

One of them is the headboard with a low backrest, which is not recommended.

The reason why the headboard with a backrest appears is generally for the sake of shape. For example, some are shaped like beans, some are shaped like flowers, and so on.

These beds with low backrests basically have the following problems, and these problems have a huge impact on us.

①. The comfort is very poor. For example, when we lie on the bed, we will find that our heads are hanging in the air. We will feel very tired within two minutes, and the experience is very poor.

②, Easy to collect dust. Due to the shape of the low backrest bed head, it may be wider, and then there is a problem that it is very easy to collect dust. Adding the soft backrest, the dust accumulation is even more serious.

Therefore, when choosing a bed, you can go and experience it in practice. The specific experience is the height of the headrest. It is definitely uncomfortable for the head to be suspended in the air.

Another thing you should pay attention to is that if the headrest is too high, it is actually uncomfortable. A headrest that is too high will feel very depressing and oppressive.

I personally suggest that when choosing a bed, don't consider a low backrest, and try to choose a medium backrest. Most families choose a 45 cm backrest, which is basically suitable.
