Things you should know before you buy a new bed
Have you ever considered how much time you spend on your bed? By sleeping for 8 hours a day, you spend about one third of your life on your bed alone! So, shouldn’t you put a little more thought in to buying the right bed? But how can you decide which bed is right for you and your room? Yes, size of the room, existing decor and finish of the furniture pieces are only a few considerations, but there are more things that come in to play. Whether you buy wrought iron beds or king size beds finished in teak – the bed only becomes worth its value when it serves its purpose well – and that is by adding to the warmth and comfort level of your bedroom and by letting you get a good night’s sleep.
Size – While the size of the room is an important consideration for buying a new wooden double bed, another factor to consider is the size of the bed itself in relation to your size. For people who are of a larger stature and need wood beds that are sturdier, longer as well as wider, there is no point in buying readymade beds. Most beds are made in standard sizes – A queen size bed is 5 feet x 6.5 feet while King Size beds are 6 feet X 6.5 feet. If you need a bed that is wider, longer or the other way round, customization is a better option. Wooden single beds can be customized to any size just like king size beds can be customized as well.
Comfort – The comfort level of the bed is owed to the mattress to a large extent. But surprisingly, the design of the bed also plays an important role. If you have wooden double bed that is too low, it can be uncomfortable as you grow older and find it difficult to bend down so low. Similarly, a headrest that is too low that it cannot support your back well when you sit up is also not desirable. A wooden double bed that has sharp corners which can hurt people, especially in rooms with lesser circulation space are also a bad choice. This happens very often in modern platform beds; so ensure that while buying the bed you check that the corners are rounded. Also, wrought iron beds are rarely comfortable for everyday use, especially if you have kids in the house that might jump on the bed. These beds work best for guest rooms which are occasionally used. For master bedroom and children’s bedroom, it is best to choose wood beds that have a more solid construction for better support, comfort and durability.
Durability – When choosing wood beds, it is important to choose a bed that is durable. Solid wood beds like a teak wood bed or a queen size bed finished in sheesham wood are better options as compared to beds made from ply, particle board or wrought iron.
So, in the end, spending 10 minutes when buying furniture online to carefully analyze whether the new wooden double bed you are thinking of purchasing is worth the money or not is a great way to make a 10 year investment that will keep you more comfortable.
