Double bed - dimensions and technical features
The main thing in the bedroom is the bed. From the correctly selected furniture depends on the visual situation in the room, and the quality of sleep and health. And the right choice in this case is not only comfort and an orthopedic mattress, but also optimal dimensions. Often, standard bed sizes will do, but in some cases you will need to look for an individual solution.

How to determine the size
Oddly enough, the principle “the more the better” does not work here. Of course, too narrow or short is not convenient and will definitely prevent quality rest. But overly large models will not benefit. On such a large bed uncomfortable. In addition, you will waste money on bedding for a larger area. But you still need to dry and iron it, so you should not chase the dimensions - sometimes you have to pay for them not only with money, but also with efforts.
Choosing furniture, you should consider how much you will sleep on it, how much restless sleep you have and whether you like to lie in bed. There is a generally accepted way to calculate the minimum sleeping area: lie on your back with your hands on your chest with your fingertips. Measure the distance between the elbows, adding to it 20 centimeters - ten from each elbow. The resulting figure is the minimum possible width. To find out what the minimum length is, add 20 centimeters to your height.
As for height, remember that the lower it is, the more effort it will take to sit on it. So it is better not to choose the fashionable now low designs for the elderly, tall and people with problematic joints.
Single bed
If your room belongs only to you and you don’t need to share a bed with anyone, you will need a single-bed version. If your build does not go beyond the average indicators, this option is really suitable.
Standard single bed sizes are 100x190cm.
Advantages of purchasing a classic single bed:
- Davailable price;
- WITHpreservation of space that can be used for other furniture;
- Haveare;
- Sha wide range of bed linen;
- XWell fit in rooms with a small area.
Bunk bed
If you like to turn around at night, or sleep, arms and legs widely spread, and the area of the room will allow you to choose a bigger bed - choose a one-and-a-half. Its width, as a rule, varies within 120-160 centimeters. These standard bed sizes allow you to comfortably accommodate one person, and in some cases - with relative convenience, suitable for two. On the widest options - one and a half meters - a slender married couple will fit perfectly.
A clear advantage of the loft is comfort during rest, with relative preservation of free space in the room and the absence of unjustified expenses for bed linen in comparison with double options.
Double bed
If the bedroom is designed for two people and both like to relax in comfort - only double beds will do. Classic double beds start at 1.6m. The upper limit of the standard width is taken to take 2m, but there are also wider furniture.
The standard height of a double bed together with a regular mattress is up to 50 centimeters, with an orthopedic bed up to 75 centimeters. This is the most convenient option for a bed for two from the one that offers the usual range of furniture stores.
Non-standard beds
If you are the owner of a tall or unusual build, the design of the room requires non-standard solutions, or your doubles do not fit the size of a double bed from the classic range - you can always choose non-standard models and customize them.
For example, you can make a royal box as a real bedroom decoration. It is much larger than standard bed sizes; it is performed in a classic design using wood and expensive upholstery. Such a bed guarantees just a royal dream, but remember - the king size beds, as they are called in Europe, look appropriate only in the bedrooms. In a small room, they look out of place and even funny.
An individual approach to furnishing includes ordering custom-made furniture. This is especially convenient if the room itself differs from the usual square shape and has non-standard dimensions.
Finally, it is an opportunity to show your design talents by creating your own sketch of the desired furniture and emphasizing the originality of the interior with at least an original bed. Oval, rhomboid and even triangular - today everything is possible. The main thing - do not overdo it. Original interior solutions are chosen to make a stylish accent in the room, and not to turn it into a kitsch pattern.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that the responsible choice of bedroom furniture is an investment in your own health. Choose the model correctly, be attentive to the materials, do not save on the mattress and bedding. Remember and about design, and about own spine.
