Rating TOP 7 best beds for daily sleep! Reviews, manufacturers, review

No. 1. Bed size and shape

When choosing a bed, you need to focus on the height of those who will rest on it, as well as the size of the room. The rule is simple: buy the largest bed that can fit in the bedroom without interfering with free movement. When asking the parameters of a specific model in a store, you can hear the answer that the bed size is standard, but it is better to clarify and ask for the exact data in centimeters, since standards in different countries may differ:

• a single bed can be 80 cm, 90 cm, and sometimes even 100 cm wide;
• the width of a single bed is from 100 to 150 cm;
• a double bed has a width of at least 160 cm, a popular option is 180 cm, but there are “king” beds with a width of 200 cm.

The standard length of a bed is 190 cm ; models with a length of 200 cm are less common. If you search, you can find a bed that is 218 cm long, and if you need an even larger bed, you will have to make a custom-made bed.

When choosing the optimal bed size, consider the following recommendations:

• The length of the bed should be at least 10 cm (and preferably 15 cm) greater than the height of the person who will sleep on it. If this is a couple, then, naturally, it is necessary to take into account the height of the one who is taller;
• the correct width will be, in which a person resting on his half can calmly put his hands behind his head and not disturb the person lying next to him. If we are talking about a single-bed option, then in this case the elbows should fit completely on the bed without going beyond it;

• between the bed and a nearby object (wall, piece of furniture, etc.) there must be at least 70 cm of free space so that you can easily approach the sleeping area and place a bedside table;
• The height of the bed should be such that getting up and lying down is as easy as possible. The older a person is, the more attention needs to be paid to this parameter. If even low podium beds are suitable for young people, then for an elderly person it is better to choose a higher bed. Most models have a height of 50-90 cm. The ideal height is when the upper edge of the mattress reaches the level of the knees of the person standing next to you or is even above this level.

As for the shape , it is better to stick to the traditional rectangular one, and realize your design fantasies in unusual decor and bright textiles. round, oval, arched or heart-shaped bed looks impressive, but can cause a lot of problems: from inconvenience during sleep to difficulties with choosing bed linen and blankets. Everything will have to be sewn individually.

Bed classification

Furniture for sleeping should be practical, comfortable, suitable for the interior and fit into the space of the room. Let's look at what you should pay attention to when choosing.

Size and shape

Perhaps the main criterion for choosing a bed is its size. In this case, you should take into account the area of ​​the room where it will stand, for how many people it is purchased, as well as the height and even weight of those who will sleep on it. Based on the number of beds, the following models are distinguished:

• Single. From the name it is clear that they are designed for one person. Dimensions: width 80-100 cm, length 190-200 cm. This option is optimal for teenagers.
• One-and-a-half-sleeper. Larger than a single form, its dimensions are 130-150 cm width, 190-200 cm length. Designed for one person. It is more comfortable to sleep on it, as you can take different poses by spreading your arms. The parameters allow you to fit two people, which is why it is also called a compact double bed.
• Double. Designed to comfortably accommodate two people. Dimensions are 160-210 in width, length is 200-210 cm. When buying such a model, you need to make sure that it will fit in the room without cluttering it.

There are children's models and non-standard ones. From birth to 3 years, a cradle measuring 60x120 cm is suitable, up to 7 years - 60x140, and school-age children can purchase a single bed. Non-standard – this is the possibility of any option for product parameters to order. They may differ in shape and design.

When choosing a sleeping place, you can be guided by the following principles. When choosing a length, add 15-25 cm to a person’s height. The optimal width is when lying with your hands behind your head, your outstretched elbows do not touch the edges of the furniture and do not interfere with another person, in the case of choosing a double shape.

Height is also important. The standard is 50-60 cm. When choosing the ideal height for yourself, check that the mattress touches your knees. There are podium beds, their height is no more than 45 cm, and high ones - 70-100 cm.

Elderly people should not choose low models, as it will be difficult to get up from them.

The traditional form is rectangular. Double products are almost square. There are also oval and round ones. Oval ones are closer to the usual shape, they are easier to place in the room. Round – non-standard, unusual. It's about 2 meters in diameter, but it's uncomfortable for two people to sleep together. They will need more space in the room. The downside is that it is difficult to choose a mattress and bed linen.

Design

The bed consists of a frame and a mattress. In turn, the base includes a headboard, footboard, support, and side panels (drawbars). There may be legs, and sometimes their role is played by the sides.

According to materials, the frame is made from:

• wood - safe, high quality. For example, foreign manufacturers use walnut, beech, cherry, maple; Russian - birch, pine. This type belongs to eco-furniture; the natural material ages slowly and will last a long time.
• metal - to last longer, they are coated with an anti-corrosion alloy. The backs are decorated with forged patterns and can be painted in any color. A practical choice, but the design is heavy.
• with the presence of plastic, durable glass.
• Chipboard, MDF are compressed sawdust and shavings impregnated with resins. It is necessary to pay attention to their quality and harmlessness. Inexpensive base.
• combined - a combination of several materials.

As a rule, a headboard is present in most products. There are different shapes, heights, materials, carved and painted. This is a decorative element that can be integral with a bed, wall-mounted or attached in the form of a cabinet that is moved to the frame. The last type serves as a storage space; you can put a lamp, a clock, magazines and books.

The footboard is a minor detail that can be dispensed with, so modern models come without it.

Support – bottom, box where the mattress is placed. There are solid, with lamellas, metal mesh. The first ones are made from a single sheet of chipboard or plywood. It is durable, the mattress on such a base does not deform. Lamels are wooden slats that promote air circulation, have orthopedic properties, and are lighter in weight. The metal mesh is strong, but sags over time under weight.

Drawers are side panels where linen drawers are located.

There are hard, soft and covered types of bed. It does not apply to the sleeping area, it is the upholstery of the backrest and frame, sometimes with filling.

An important part of the package is the mattress. It distributes the load throughout the structure, the bottom should not sag under its weight and sleeping people. Often included. If you have to choose a product yourself, then you need to pay attention to what is inside.

There are two groups:

1. Spring. They are hypoallergenic and durable. There are models with dependent and independent blocks. The first ones are fastened together; when loaded, one spring pulls the neighboring ones. At the same time, the weight is not evenly distributed over the surface, which is inconvenient if two sleeping people have different weight categories. Such products will be pressed through if one spring fails. Replacement is difficult and expensive. The service life of independent units is up to 8-10 years. The springs are not fastened together, but are placed in separate cases. When there is a load on one of them, the neighboring ones do not connect. If one element breaks, it is easy to replace. Between the springs and the upholstery fabric there are layers of filler made of latex, coconut fiber, and natural felt.
2. Springless. Filled with foam latex. Hypoallergenic orthopedic material that follows the contours of the human body. A budget option is cotton filler, but it tends to clump.

Upholstery fabric should be durable and breathable. There are examples of mattresses with two different sides; it is turned over depending on the season.

Models and types

Sleeping places are divided into two types:

• Built-in - from the name it is clear that they must be built in somewhere, for example, in a closet or wall. It saves space, suitable for small bedrooms.
• Not built-in - a regular model, always standing in place.

In turn, the built-in type is divided into a folding bed, a podium bed, and a mobile one. The first ones rise vertically or horizontally, the second ones – a bed on wheels moves inside the hill, the third ones – one half of the object is transformed under the other.

Non-built-in ones are found in the form of folding beds, transformable sofas, and ottomans.

In terms of functionality, furniture comes with add-on or pull-out drawers where you can put laundry; no storage space; with inner drawer and lifting mechanism.

The lifting mechanism is distinguished:

1. Manual. To lift such a mechanism, effort must be made. Not suitable for the elderly, teenagers or people with weak physical strength. They are inexpensive.
2. Spring-loaded. A lift with springs that make lifting easier because they take part of the load on themselves. They tend to break and require further replacement.
3. Gas elevator. The shock absorber does all the work. In this design, the cylinder is filled with pressurized gas and the piston does all the work. Anyone can use this mechanism. It works smoothly and silently, but is more expensive than the previous two.

No. 2. Bed frame design

The bed consists of a base where the mattress is placed, and a frame on which the base rests. The frame may include backs , supports (legs, podium) and drawers (these are the side panels of the bed).

The frame can be one of these two types:

• two supporting backs and two side drawers;

• four drawers and one or two hanging backs. The supports in this case are legs or wheels.

which type of frame is better . If the bed is made of high quality, then it will in any case be durable, and low-quality specimens will soon begin to creak. However, samples with supporting backs perform slightly better than models with legs. Supports of a larger area break much less often than legs, but a bed with legs looks more airy and weightless.

4th place. "My Bed" by Tracey Emin

Cost: $150,000.

Composition “My Bed” by Tracey Emin

A masterpiece, ladies and gentlemen... a masterpiece.

I thought about finishing the description of this bed here, but I’ll explain anyway. There is an artist in Britain, she gained fame mainly because of all sorts of scandals, and her name is Tracey Emin. So one day Tracy gave herself a couple of days off, she had fun as best she could, and when the weekend was over and the lady recovered from her hangover, it dawned on her, this is the greatest work of all time... which consists of dirty bed linen, bottles, some pieces of paper , cigarette packs, cigarette butts, a pair of used condoms... well, in general, what a life, such a masterpiece.

But that’s not all, this heap of rubbish would have sunk into oblivion, but there was one guy, his name was Charles Saatchi and apparently his life was not at all sugar. He bought a bunch of it from Tracy for $150,000, and for a while it was the most expensive bed in the world.

No. 3. Bed material

High-quality bed material is the key to the durability of the product. There may be several options:

• solid wood - the most preferred material.

  
  Such beds have maximum durability and strength, they are environmentally friendly and safe. The most durable frames will be those made of oak, ash and beech, but you can find a good option in a more affordable category;

• metal also shows record durability, has a high service life and is durable.

  Welded and forged beds
  are made from metal . The second option, naturally, looks more sophisticated and elegant and today, by the way, is at the peak of popularity;

• MDF bed It will cost less, but in many ways it is inferior to wood and metal.

  
  Such products look good and do not cause harm to health, but their service life before the first breakdown is somewhat lower than that of their wooden counterparts. In terms of price/quality ratio, this is the most attractive option on the market, which is why such beds are very popular;

• beds made of fiberboard and chipboard They are the cheapest, do not last long, quickly begin to creak, and then completely fall apart.

  
  Buying a bed made of chipboard is a necessary measure when the budget is very limited, but even in this case it is necessary to look at safety certificates and pay attention to the level of formaldehyde emissions (in residential premises you can use products of levels E0 and E1).

MDF, chipboard and fiberboard can be laminated and repeat the pattern of any type of wood or stone, they can be painted or veneered, so in appearance such beds look very attractive. Manufacturers often use fabric, leather and eco-leather upholstery. Make sure that the fabric is dense and wear-resistant.

Today it is fashionable to use wooden pallets all the time .

They are used to make not only country furniture and cozy sofas with tables for summer areas of cafes. Several of these drawers can serve as an excellent base for a bed in a city apartment. Such a solution will fit, however, not into any interior.

The bed fits perfectly into a small room, while still leaving enough space for other furniture. The back does not get dirty or scratched, so you can easily wash off your child’s drawings.

No. 4. Bed base

The bed base is firmly attached to the frame and becomes a support for the mattress. The base can be of the following types:

• lamella construction, thin flexible strips.

  
  The slats are made of wood or plastic; other materials are not suitable, since it is important that the slats can bend under the weight of a person and take the required shape. Wooden slats would be preferable; they are usually made from beech or birch. The more planks used in the base, the better. The minimum number for a single bed is 15 slats, for a double bed – 30. The distance between the slats should be no more than the width of the slats;

• hard and soft metal gratings.

  
  Due to the strength of the metal mesh, such a base lasts for 20 years or no less, it is inexpensive, but it is easily pressed under what is lying on it, so there is no need to talk about a comfortable and healthy rest;

• the design of metal springs has also outlived its usefulness and has proven that sleeping on such a bed is very uncomfortable;
• a base made of sheet material is sometimes still found. Such beds are inexpensive, but they do not last long, since the weight of a person in them is distributed unevenly over the entire base area.

It is best when there is nothing under the lamella base (this is the preferred choice). In this case, the mattress will be perfectly ventilated and will last a very long time. To save space, beds with storage compartments under the bed can be used. These can be drawers, which is not very convenient, or a large storage area, accessed thanks to a lifting mechanism.

Luxury Ormatec Lucca

Ormatek Lucca with metal base included

Impressive comfort model with folding headrests. When unfolded, they are quite high, they can be compared to the back of a comfortable chair. An increased level of comfort will turn the bed into not only a place to rest at night, but also a comfortable place for watching TV or reading. You don't have to put a pillow under your back to sit comfortably in bed. And so that the headrests do not interfere with sleep, they can be folded at night. The futuristic design immediately attracts attention; this bed will become the center of your bedroom. It is upholstered on all sides with eco-leather (you can choose from 9 colors), and the frame consists of durable laminated chipboard. The metal base is already included in the kit; you will only have to pay extra for a lifting mechanism if you want to be able to store things under the bed.

No. 5. Bed with lifting mechanism

Under a large double bed there is as much space as in an average closet or compact closet. If the apartment is small, it would be stupid not to use this space.

Of course, you can take a model where there are several drawers , but this approach does not allow for maximum use of the under-bed space. It will not be possible to open such drawers in every bedroom, and finding such an option is not so easy.

It is better to take a bed with a lifting mechanism : once you lift the base with the mattress, a huge (about 1.8 * 1.9 m and 25-40 cm deep) storage space appears in front of you. You can store both bedding and out-of-season clothes there - there is enough space for everything.

Depending on what load is expected, one or another lifting mechanism is chosen:

• gas lift. The mechanism is equipped with a shock absorber in the format of a cylinder, which is filled with air or other gas.

  
  The load capacity depends on the pressure level. The base of the bed with such a mechanism is easy to raise and lower, everything is done very smoothly, you only need to give a small initial push. A gas lift can lift a weight of about 100 kg or more, it is intended for all types of beds and mattresses; this is the mechanism that is used with transformable beds that fold up against the wall. The service life of the mechanism is long (about 70-90 thousand raising/lowering cycles), the only negative is the cost;

• spring mechanism built on the use of metal twisted springs.

  
  Service life – about 20 thousand raising/lowering cycles. The mechanism works clearly, but over time it may become difficult to lift, and the springs may need to be replaced. Springs can withstand less load than gas lift;

• the manual mechanism on hinges does not require the presence of any shock absorbers - all efforts to raise and lower the berth rest with the person. Such a mechanism is often installed in folding beds; it is cheap, but requires good calculation of your own strength.

No. 6. Folding bed or transforming bed

It is clear that not every apartment can accommodate a large stationary bed. Often you have to be content with a folding sofa as a sleeping place, but there are alternatives. These are the so-called transforming beds or wardrobe beds. During the day they are kept near the wall and do not interfere with free movement, and at night, thanks to the folding mechanism, they turn into a full-fledged sleeping place. During the day, such a bed can serve as a prop cabinet, be decorated with a nice painting, or even turn into a small sofa.

There are transforming beds that recline during the day and provide access to the table, and the mechanism is designed so that all objects on the tabletop remain in place when the bed moves.

Types of beds

The following types of beds are distinguished.

Wooden

These are classic products that are presented in different price segments. These models are environmentally friendly and visually attractive.

Different types of trees are used to make these pieces of furniture. Trees such as oak, ash, and beech can be used. These breeds are characterized by a long operational period. It should be taken into account that ash does not have resistance to temperature changes, and oak and beech cannot withstand sudden mechanical influences.

Coniferous trees are also used to make beds. They are reasonably priced. Disadvantage: low strength.

Wooden beds are environmentally friendly and visually attractive

In addition, wood substitutes - MDF, chipboard and plywood - are used to produce beds. Such materials are low cost, resistant to moisture and temperature changes.

Attention! Other pressed materials can release harmful substances into the air, so you can only buy products made from them if you have the appropriate certificate.

Metal (forged)

Forged beds fit harmoniously into any bedroom design. They are distinguished by their visual appeal, long period of use, increased strength and stability. The main requirement for these products is the presence of an anti-corrosion coating.

Metal beds have a long service life

Combined

Various types of materials are used to manufacture these products. Most often, these models have a more affordable price. The most common combinations are metal and wood.

No. 7. Headboard

The presence of a headboard at the bed depends on where it will be placed. If you are going to place the head of the bed against the wall, then you can easily do without a separate backrest. The wall near the head can be highlighted , for example, with soft wall panels, artificial stone, paint or wallpaper of a different color. There are also more daring solutions: boards, screens, tree cuts, etc. Above the headboard you can organize a shelf for storing necessary or purely decorative items. Sometimes such a shelf smoothly flows into a storage system that continues on the sides of the bed.

If you plan to place the bed not flush against the wall, then it is better to take a model with its own headboard. It should be reliable and comfortable so that you can safely lean on it while reading or watching TV. In some beds, the headboard is located at a slight angle - this is the most ergonomic option.

Graceful Ascona AmeLia

Ascona AmeLia with removable covers

Another model with a massive headboard 120 cm high. Thanks to the PPU filler, it is soft and elastic enough to comfortably lean on if you want to sit in bed. The upholstery is made of eco-leather. There are 19 colors to choose from in fairly discreet shades. It is easy to care for, because the covers on its sides are removable. If they become unusable, they can be replaced altogether. It’s also not difficult to keep the headboard clean; just wipe it regularly with a damp cloth. The set includes a durable metal base with wide birch slats. It can withstand a load of up to 150 kg per bed.

Start with ergonomics in the bedroom

The starting point in choosing a bed is the room where it will stand. First, think about why you decided to change the bed. Start from the problem and task that needs to be solved. For example, the bed is too large and you need to make room for an additional functional area - a desktop. In this case, the solution would be a sofa bed or a transforming bed. Sometimes you can get by with a rearrangement altogether. If it’s about design or novelty, this is a different motivation. However, whatever the motivation for changing your bed, there are rules that will keep your little toes from the ubiquitous corners.

Double bed to the right of the window and desk

The convenient distance from the edge of the bed to the wall or any other furniture is 70 cm. This is enough to make the bed without bumping elbows. Ideally, such passages should be on both sides of the double bed. If the shape of the room does not allow this to happen, place a double bed with one of the sides against the wall. In this case, it is important that the passage is at the foot, so that the person at the wall does not have to climb over his partner every time.

As for the question of how to place a bed in a room, the ideal place is near the window and away from the door. For example, to the right/left of the window and diagonally from the door. What you definitely can’t do is place the bed on the same line between the window and the door, because drafts stretch from the windows to the doors.
