A good bed is quite important for bedroom furniture. Choosing the right design and material with good size is the key to fit your bedroom. Well, we have worked out 4 main factors that you can refer to while buying or customizing your own bed.
Dimension
Normally we are talking about king size or queen size bed, and it mainly refers to the size of mattress, such as king size (1800x2000mm) while queen size (1500x2000mm). This is the inner size of the bed frame. However, we will also need to consider the outer frame size unless you have a quite big bedroom. Generally, both gap sides of bed is at least 600mm. If it works as the main passage, it would be better more than 800mm. In this way, it helps to move around easily.
The size of the bed ideally takes up 1/3 of the bedroom. However, if you have a compact space, the bed should better not to be larger than ½ of it. Otherwise, it might be a bit narrow to sleep.
The height of the bed, which is, the mattress height from ground should be more or less equal to the height of your knees. It is around 500mm. However, for elderly and child, 400-450 mm will be easier for them to access.
Headboard
For material for the headboard, commonly we will have leather, solid wood and metal. If you have sufficient budget, genuine leather one is recommended. It is soft while have better sense of comfort. Choosing a solid wood headboard, it is better to have a good solid wood with water paint or wood wax. Talking about the metal bed, we don’t really recommend as it can’t 100% avoid noise while you are sleeping and moving on it.
Bedframe support
For the bed frame support, normally we will have either wood slat or bed panels. For the wood slat, we can choose solid wood slat with interval space of 5cm. Meanwhile, it would need to have 6 supporting legs in order to have a better stability. For the bed panels, we don’t suggest to have hydraulic function one unless you can a good hardware or you don’t open it very open.
Surroundings
Generally, we don’t have suggest to have the end of the bed facing directly to the door or mirror, meanwhile, to avoid having cross girder over the bed. These are help to have a better sense of ‘security’ while sleeping.
