If the inherited bed is no longer comfortable, it might be time to look for a new one. Let's explore how to choose a bed that you'll love.

Let's see how to choose a bed that is aesthetically pleasing, appropriately sized for the room, and suitable for use. It should be stable and strong, in line with the mattress that will help you sleep comfortably. What factors should we consider?

1 | Size of the Bed

We can categorize bed and mattress sizes based on the average dimensions of adults: 3.5 feet, 5 feet, and 6 feet. Additionally, there may be custom designs, such as round beds, which need to be specially ordered.

2 | Height of the Bed

- The general height of a bed should be between 40 and 50 centimeters.

- Beds that are easy to change sheets should be 50 to 55 centimeters high.

- Beds that provide comfort for the elderly should be about 55 to 60 centimeters high.

- The headboard should be approximately 100 to 120 centimeters high from the floor (measured from the bottom edge).

Note: The height of the bed includes the mattress and bed cover.

3 | Bed Frame Structure

Wooden Frame can be made from solid wood or plywood. Solid woods like teak or rubber wood showcase natural grain patterns. Nowadays, they are often stained or painted for aesthetic appeal, but may have issues with warping and shrinking. Plywood, such as particle board or MDF, is less resistant to impact and moisture, so it is typically used for internal frames that are not visible. Sometimes, it is covered with wood veneer for beauty.

Metal Frame is strong and easy to maintain, but difficult to repair. If the joints are poorly made, loose, or noisy, it is essential to check the joints carefully before purchasing.

TIPS

Beds designed with storage underneath should have a minimum height of about 25 centimeters. Drawers should slide in and out easily and operate quietly.
