In addition to the classic rectangular and square models, there are also several options for beds with non-standard sizes and unusual shapes. Consider the most popular and most convenient of them.

First of all, it is worth noting the model of the round bed, which looks very nice and is very spacious and comfortable, despite its shape. This table shows the classic sizes of the round bed:

In addition, there are models of semicircular beds, which are located adjacent the flat side to the wall. Such products very often have an additional retractable bed, thanks to which you can easily and simply resolve the issue of accommodating unexpected guests. Almost all round beds are equipped with a built-in drawer, which is a definite plus.

An unusual product, albeit with a classic rectangular shape, can be called a two-level bed. Although at each level is located on one person, it still belongs to the category of double.In addition, there are such models, the lower part of which is wider and involves the placement of two people, and the upper one is intended for one.

In addition, there are high models, the sleeper of which is located on strong wooden beams, almost under the ceiling. These beds have special requirements for their reliability and sustainability.

Choose width

The choice of a suitable bed width is a very important point regarding the convenience of the product and its location on it. Consider the most popular options for specific models of beds. For example, a width of 100 centimeters is a classic for a double lower part of a two-level bed. On such a relatively small surface, it can be quite crowded, but it is quite suitable for two. It should be noted that such a width is the minimum size of the furniture attribute of such a plan.

Width 140, 150 cm and 1600 mm - the classic options for models that are part of a modular furniture system. This is an average size and the most optimal for furniture of such a plan, since large parameters will look too cumbersome when bundled with other models.For designing and making beds of much larger sizes, the following widths are used: 180, 190, 200 centimeters and more.

Determine the length

For comfort during rest, it is necessary that all parts of the body touch the surface of the bed, because otherwise, if the legs hang down, it can cause certain discomfort during sleep. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to choose a bed of the appropriate length. A standard two-meter bed may not be suitable for everyone, since quite a few people have height above average, and sometimes more than two meters.

Tall people need an appropriate sleeping place, so you should pay attention to longer beds. For example, on a model whose length is more than 220 cm. As a rule, such beds have a rather large width, but this will be only a plus, since on such a surface one can unconsciously not control their movements during sleep.

Length, a little more than the classic - 210 cm, may be due to too massive headboard and decorative detail in the foot area. Such a product is very functional, but, as a rule, it has a rather artsy decor, so it will look beautiful only in a classic interior.

Optional accessories

It is not a secret that the purchase of only one bed frame will not provide a comfortable sleeping place, it is also necessary to purchase some accessories, which are not so much a bedroom decor as its functional part. The accessories for the bed and for the bedroom as a whole have certain requirements, compliance with which will help make the room more functional and ensure a decent quality of sleep:

  • First of all, absolutely all accessories, like the frame of the bed itself, must be made exclusively from natural materials., because the use of synthetic components in the composition can be harmful to health.
  • All accessories should be fairly simple and easy to use. Products of complex shape, although they look quite interesting and attract a lot of attention, are not always functional.
  • It is best that the furniture accessories match the style and color of the bed itself.so you can create a single picture of the interior.
  • Accessories that are not furniture items must also match the style of the whole room,since in case of inconsistency, they will fall out of the overall picture and may spoil the visual perception of the interior.

Mattress

First of all, you need to choose a comfortable mattress, the size of which can be determined by the table above, based on the size of the bed frame. For a standard size of such a bed you will need an euro-size mattress. Further selection should be made based on the functionality of the product and some of its properties.

The most popular and comfortable types of mattresses:

  • Folding mattress it is convenient for prefabricated and collapsible models of beds, which are daily transformed into a different furniture attribute. For a conventional model, there is no need to purchase a mattress of this kind.
  • Mattresses with a single spring unit good topics, that they have a fairly low cost and are very convenient at the very beginning of operation, but, unfortunately, this is where the advantages end. Mattresses of this type very quickly begin to creak, and also accumulate dust, which provokes the reproduction of dangerous bacteria and furniture mites.
  • Mattresses with independent spring blocks or separate, independent springs, are much more functional, durable and safe for health.A mattress with such internal filling does not begin to creak with time and helps maintain the most comfortable position of the body.
  • Mattresses without springs can be divided into two categories. - too soft and too hard. Often, fearing to overdo it with a level of rigidity that is not provided by the spring frame, manufacturers make the product too soft and vice versa. On such a mattress may not be very comfortable to sleep.
  • Popular and special, double-sided mattresses, equipped with spring blocks, as well as layers, providing different degrees of rigidity. These layers are located on different sides of the mattress, so that, turning it over, you can ensure maximum comfort during sleep.

In addition, the quality of the mattress depends on the filler. Foam rubber and cotton wool are considered to be the most harmful for health, since these materials do not repeat body curves, therefore they are absolutely not suitable for creating orthopedic mattresses or products that at least correspond to certain anatomical properties. In the formation of an elastic surface or more or less suitable for sleeping and rest will help materials such as polyurethane foam or struttofiber. Latex and coconut fiber are also excellent options.When choosing, you must take into account individual preferences.

Linens

In addition to the mattress, you must also choose a good, high-quality linens. Many manufacturers use cheap, low-quality fabrics, and the kits do not match the size of double beds. Let us consider in more detail what must be considered when choosing.

First of all, we will determine the list of necessary details. Standard kits should always consist of sheets, pillowcases and one large or two medium-sized duvet covers. In most cases, sets of linen include everything you need.

The size of the sheets should be chosen based on the size of the mattress, adding ten to twenty centimeters from each edge. Thus, the sheet can be slightly tucked behind the edges of the bed, preventing it from slipping during sleep. Pillowcases can be made in two sizes: rectangular - 50x70 cm and square - 70x70 cm. There are also sizes of square pillowcases 50x50 cm and smaller ones, but they are intended for decorative pillows.

The size of the duvet covers should also be chosen according to the size of the blanket. There are several options:

  • Blanket for two has a size of 200x200 cm, so the size of the duvet cover must match.
  • One and half-sleeping blanket has dimensions of 145-160x200 cm, depending on the type: classic or euro.

Bed linen should not match the color of the furniture or be in harmony with the shades in the interior, but the size of the sets should always be carefully chosen, because otherwise it can be inconvenient to use. In addition, for a longer service life it is worth taking care of the quality of fabric products. Here are some tips to help you choose really good bedding:

  • It is worth considering when choosing linen exclusively from natural fabrics. Soft, pleasant to the touch, not causing discomfort, it, like a comfortable bed, will help to provide comfortable conditions for sleep.
  • It is necessary to carefully examine the surface of the laundry and make sure that it is of sufficient density. Semi-translucent thin fabric is a bad option, because it quickly breaks and becomes unusable.
  • Simple seams will be short-lived for bedding.therefore, when sewing it, a special underwear seam is used, which should be studied when choosing.
  • When sewing should be used quality, durable yarn from natural materials, since synthetic and thin quite quickly torn.
  • In addition, you should touch the quality of the fabric, as well as its smell. Often, synthetic materials are very unpleasant to the body and smell specifically due to the use of low-quality dye, which, moreover, is quickly washed off.

Furniture attributes

Often the bed is part of a modular furniture system consisting of many parts. As a rule, such kits are made in the same style and have a very attractive appearance. They are quite functional and solve many questions regarding the storage of things in the bedroom.

For example, nightstand will become an indispensable furniture accessory for the bedroom, as it can be used to store the essentials that you may need during the night or before bedtime Books, various cosmetics for night skin care, and even medications if necessary.In addition, bedside tables are great for placing small lamps - night lamps. It can be both mini floor lamps with beautiful lampshades, and night lamps of any other form - anything that fits beautifully and will be harmoniously combined with the interior of the whole bedroom.

Shelves located above the bed are also quite practical solution in the interior design. Most often, the shelf, which is part of a modular furniture system, has a length that matches the width of the bed, which contributes to a more holistic interior. But it should be with particular responsibility to approach its attachment. Since such shelves, as a rule, are located directly above the beds, it is necessary to take care that things do not roll off her, and she herself was securely fixed.

In addition, instead of bedside tables near the bed quite often have tall narrow cabinetsdesigned to store personal items. Such a composition looks quite stylish and, from the point of view of solving storage problems, is more practical, but in this case it will be necessary to think up a different kind of lighting, since there will be no place to put a lamp.

Others (blanket, bedspread, blanket)

In addition to all of the above, there are several other accessories and products that complement the bed, without which sleep or rest in comfortable conditions would be simply impossible. In addition, some of them are designed for the decoration of a sleeping surface.

For example, various bedspreads not only protect bed linen from dust and pollution throughout the day., but also are a decorative addition to the bed, and also, depending on the style and print, a decorative addition to the entire interior. Complete with bedspreads, especially quilted, very often there are pillows with the same print and decor.

Plaids made of various materials can become quite worthy replacements for bedspreads. Tight ones should be chosen because they will be more functional and will last much longer. In addition, the blanket may well replace the blanket or provide an additional source of heat.

In addition, not a single bed can do without a standard bedroom set consisting of pillows and blankets. On the options for their size is already mentioned in the selection of bed linen.As the addition serving for bigger convenience, the dense mattress cover with orthopedic properties will approach.
