Understanding the Different Bed Styles Available
When shopping for a new bed it’s important that consumers understand the various bed types available, allowing them to choose the type that is best for them. From divans to standard mattresses, futons and nursery beds, there is bound to be a style and design that suits your specific needs.
Divan Beds
Divans come in a variety of sizes ranging from single to double, king and super king sized sets. They consist of both a mattress and box frame that allows the bed to be placed directly onto the floor without any need for a frame.
This bed type is ideal for adults and kids alike and is very often the choice for shared bedrooms. Divan beds are a solid investment and are made to last for years of use. Many of the major brand names offer a divan set in their line of beds and all are built with quality and comfort in mind.
Standard Mattresses
Designed for use with a bed frame, mattresses are the most common of all of the bed styles. They come in various levels of hardness and are available in sizes ranging from small single to super king sized.
Bed frames are necessary to set up standard mattresses. Iron frames are available, as well as the more traditional wood frames. Some are available with decorative headboards and footboards, while others are simply designed to hold the mattress off of the ground. Your tastes and d?cor will lead you to choose one design over the others.
Nursery Bed Styles
Toddlers and preschoolers are not tall enough to use a divan bed and even mattresses on bed frames are often too large. When safety and comfort is an issue, nursery beds fit the bill perfectly.
Starter beds are ideal for those little ones moving out of their cots, while kid’s beds work well for children who are a little older. You can find kid’s beds made in the shape of engines, cars and even castles, perfect to fuel the imagination of your little ones and give them their own special space.
Futon Beds
Derived from the original futons popular in Japan, futons in the UK are used with iron or wood frames. They are convertible from a lounge chair or sofa into a single or double bed. The futon mattresses often come with a decorative slipcover that looks similar to upholstery and can be easily folded out when bedtime arrives.
There are various bed styles available from all of the major bed manufacturers. Quality retailers will offer a vast selection that is bound to include beds that will suit each of your family members from single to double beds.
