Double beds (121 photos): white models with a mattress, how to choose

Wide beds are the best option for a bedroom. A sufficient sleeping area allows you to have a great rest and sleep.

Comfortable and soft double beds are a key piece of furniture in your bedroom interior.

Double models are produced in large quantities. Companies offer a huge range of designer products. Products for bedroom equipment differ not only in the materials used in their production, but also in color, as well as original decor.

It's hard to imagine a bedroom without a large and comfortable bed.

A comfortable double bed is the dream of any married couple. Here you can see photos of the best samples from designer collections.

Double beds, types and photos of options

Even with the variety of wide design models, there are only 4 main types of rectangular structures. These are the beds:

• With two panels and backs (they are supporting);
• With three panels, a back (headboard) and four legs;
• With drawers serving as support;
• “Unsupported” (with a small podium instead of legs).

Buying a bed is a very responsible matter, because your health and a pleasant sleep depend on how well you make the right choice.

Beds are also available in other shapes, for example, round, hemispherical, arched, but potential buyers invariably have doubts about their convenience.

The width of a double bed can be any, but not less than 140 cm, otherwise it will not be a double bed, but a single bed.

A double bed can be classic or modern in design. The design of the models varies from strict forms and minimalism in decoration to samples with rich carvings, embossed headboards and original shaped legs.

Its ergonomics and functionality depend on the configuration of the bed.

Before buying this or that model, you need to decide on its design features. Products that are more practical, with drawers for bed linen, are appropriate in a small space. They will partially take over the function of storage, so you can choose a smaller wardrobe for the bedroom. There can be several boxes - from 2 to 6.

Periodically, drawers need to be emptied of linen and ventilated.

The classic version of the design is suitable for medium and large rooms, where in addition to the bed it is possible to install a wardrobe (cabinet or built-in), bedside tables or chest of drawers, a dressing table with a mirror, and complement the interior with ottomans or an armchair.

What kind of bed will appear in the interior of your bedroom depends mainly on your desire. The main thing is that its design does not contradict the general decision.

A double bed with one headboard looks better in any interior. On the other hand, designs with two are more practical; they prevent the bed linen from sliding down during sleep. The standard parameters of beds that manufacturers adhere to for adults are: 140 cm x 180 cm x 57 cm (width, length, height, respectively). These standards are contained in GOSTs.

There are also atypical options - for tall people, such samples can have a length of up to 200 cm or more.

Double beds also include designs with 2 tiers. Most often they are purchased for children. The sizes of such models have their own standards.

A bunk bed often becomes a piece of furniture in children's rooms. Its main task is ergonomic.

What are the types

For family bedrooms, twin beds are often chosen. First of all, they should have convenience, comfort and provide coziness during sleep. They should fit the design, fit in the room and not clutter up the space. In addition, when choosing, you need to pay attention to the types of these products. Of course, you can view numerous photos with options for sleeping models, but it is better to consider the features of each type separately.

By shape

A sofa or double bed can come in different shapes. Everyone is accustomed to rectangular options, but modern furniture manufacturers have begun to use other variants of the shapes of these models. On sale you can find different forms of these products:

• square - these models are suitable for a spacious room;
• round - original products, suitable for apartments with an unusual design in high-tech, avant-garde style;
• oval - these products have a sliding design that allows you to increase the length of the sleeping bed;
• corner - in appearance it looks like a sofa, but unlike it, it does not fold out. Comes with a headboard, thanks to which you can install it in any free corner of the room.

Oval Corner

By design

There are several different models by type of design, each of which has its own positive qualities.

With lifting mechanism

Beds with a lifting mechanism are a practical option that combines two functions. You can sleep comfortably on these products at night, and at the same time they will serve as storage for things in the internal space of the frame. When you lift the part intended for the sleeping bed, a spacious place for folding linen, bedding and other things opens up.

The main advantages of these products:

• When purchasing a bed with a lifting mechanism, you do not need to buy an additional wardrobe, which will take up extra space. The bed will easily replace it;
• strong base - the frame is made of wood, and the lifting mechanism is made of a metal base. This combined composition ensures long service life;
• forged products have a modern design that will become the central place in the bedroom interior;
• this is the same sofa, but unlike it, these options have a spacious sleeping area and spacious interior space;
• large sizes - adult products are available in sizes 140x200 cm, 160x190 cm and 180x200 cm. The first options are suitable for small apartments;
• Children's double products with a lifting mechanism are produced, which will be a suitable option for small rooms. If children's options with a lifting mechanism are used, then a closet in the room will not be required, which will ultimately save space;
• varied designs - they can have a simple classic wood look, or forged options also look rich. Often on sale there are beds painted in different colors. If the bedroom is light, then a white, light brown, or yellow model would look good.

For complete information, you can see photos with double options with a lifting mechanism. Here you can see the appearance of these options.

With drawers

Unlike beds with a lifting mechanism, these products have drawers underneath that slide out. You can also store various things and bedding in these elements. In appearance they are no different. May have different designs and colors. The greatest demand is forged models and those made of wood with a headboard.

Bed boxes can be:

• with guides;
• without guides.

Bed wardrobe

If the apartment has a small area or there is only one room, then in this case a folding bed wardrobe will do. This model is highly functional and allows you to save a lot of space.

A folding bed is a sleeping place that has a special lifting mechanism. When assembled, it is a regular cabinet that is built into the wall or placed near it. And if the need arises, it can be quickly disassembled into a full double bed.

Advantages:

• allows you to quickly and securely put everything away in the closet. There is no need to make the bed;
• automatic control ensures quick disassembly and assembly of the entire structure;
• the cabinet facade can be decorated in different styles - high-tech, baroque, classic, avant-garde;
• a high degree of comfort, which is no different from an ordinary sleeping item;
• A folding bed makes it easy to divide a room into zones without cluttering up the overall space.

Podium bed

A podium bed is a sleeping place installed on a slight elevation from the floor. This furniture element is suitable for rooms with a large area. In appearance, it is a raised platform with drawers, on top of which lies a mattress. Designers offer various options for equipping these products. They can be made in the bedroom, in the living room, even on the balcony, of course, if the space allows.

To save space, it is proposed to make a podium and install a pull-out bed inside it. The pull-out bed will be pulled out for sleeping if necessary, and will simply be put back after sleep. There are also children's beds on a podium with drawers. To fully characterize these products, you can use photos in which you can see the entire mechanism, appearance, and style of these products.

Sofa couch

A couch is a cross between a bed, a sofa and an armchair. But the difference is that the sofa couch can be disassembled to a size large enough to accommodate two people.

Design features of the sofa couch:

• due to its small size, the folding couch can fit even in a small room - hallway, kitchen;
• a sofa of this type can be a great addition to a large sofa in the living room;
• suitable for orthopedic mattresses;
• the couch can have a backrest of different shapes - round, square, triangular combined;
• additionally equipped with a soft base that can be used instead of a mattress;
• The couch is made of wood and metal.

According to the material of manufacture

The most common models are made of wood and metal. Wooden beds are the most suitable option for a bedroom. These products are environmentally friendly, do not emit harmful substances and are of high quality. They can be made with different decorative elements in the form of patterns, artistic carvings and drawings. But that’s not all, these models have a number of features that speak in favor of purchasing this product:

• high-quality children's and adult beds are made from hard, high-strength wood - oak, alder, cherry, black cherry, walnut. Recently, models made from Indonesian wood species - teak and marabou - have become popular;
• wooden beds have a frame made of wood and a headboard made of wooden material;
• the headboard usually has decorative elements in the form of patterns, flowers, shapes and other beautiful elements;
• large dimensions - models for adults have different ranges - 140x200 cm, 160x190 cm, 180x200 cm;
• various designs - children's and adult models can be designed to look like laminated wood, which is varnished. These models are suitable for the classic style of premises. The white model will fit perfectly into the Provence style. There are multi-colored products in yellow, red and other shades.

Double beds made of metal frames are highly durable products. Perhaps they used to have a very primitive design that did not have original shapes, patterns or forged elements, but now everything has changed.

Types of products depending on the manufacturing method:

• forging method - forged beds have beautiful elements that are made in the form of ornate patterns, wavy lines and figures. Each product is produced in one copy, which has no analogues. The strength of the products is high, forged beds can withstand a weight of more than 300 kilograms, while the constituent elements do not bend or deform. Accordingly, the cost of these products is quite high. The forged double base can be painted in different colors using powder paint. Often there is a white or golden model on sale;
• by stamping method - while forged models are heavy and costly, these beds, on the contrary, are much cheaper and lighter. In addition to iron, wrought iron can be made from aluminum, brass, hollow rods, angles, and profiles. The quality of these beds is low; over time, the component elements sag, deform, and break under the weight.

By base type

The basics of beds with two berths come in several types:

• armored metal mesh - has high strength and long service life. It can withstand heavy loads, does not deform, does not bend under heavy weight. But it has a minus - under the influence of heavy weight, over time it sags to the bottom. It is better to use it together with a cotton mattress; the orthopedic option will be inappropriate;
• base made of sheet material - can be made of MDF, plywood or chipboard. You can place any type of mattress on it. It has a fairly low cost. However, over time it wears out under the influence of high weight;
• the base is made of lamellas and planks, which are made of natural wood. They are located at a short distance from each other. Due to this, they can be used to lay any type of mattresses, including orthopedic ones. Today, this type of base is optimal for children's and adult beds.

Choosing a bed to suit your liking and the interior of the room

You also need to take into account the style in which you plan to organize the bedroom space. For rooms with a classic design, options with both simple shapes and sophisticated decoration are suitable.

Every photo of a double bed in the interior proves that this piece of furniture creates an atmosphere in the bedroom.

Embossed headboards and bed supports look great in classic interiors with interesting decor. The style is supported by a choice of, for example, French wallpaper and curtains in the Baroque or Rococo style. We recommend avoiding an abundance of heavy fabrics in the setting. A lighter, simpler option is selected to suit the Provence style.

In each photo of a double bed you can see its own zest.

If the double bed is intended as part of an Art Nouveau style setting, it will be low.

Some models have a podium or supports extending only 15-20 cm from the floor.

A double bed in a minimalist style is relevant for traditional interiors.

If you want the room to look without “boudoir” luxury, then choose this model.

Round beds with a rectangular headboard of irregular shape look original. They are suitable for interiors with eclectic elements.

Headboard types

A bed with a headboard is a stylish solution for the entire room. Products with a twisted and patterned headboard will look much more beautiful than without it at all. Models with a soft headboard, which provides additional comfort for the head, look original. Headboards with a soft base can be made of leather or material.

Types of headboards:

• wall hangings are paintings that are attached to the wall. They are filled with soft filling inside and covered with upholstery fabric on top;
• attached - attached-type headboards have space inside for storing various bedding;
• stationary - this type is completed with the bed as a single unit.

Stationary Mounted

Attached
Many designers offer different ideas for a headboard for a double bed, which you can make yourself from different items:

• furniture, cabinets, bedside tables;
• carpets;
• panels wrapped in fabric;
• designer partitions;
• old books, wooden slats, old doors.

The websites have different photos with types of headboards for beds with two berths.

Several original ways to decorate the head of a bed

In bedroom designs you can find many options for backs. It can be:

• Through panels consisting of wooden or iron rods (slats).

  
  Sometimes the headboard is a wicker structure.

• Solid panels of various shapes.

  
  They can be rectangular, arched, embossed around the perimeter or curved at the top.

An original double bed is created primarily by the backs and supports. Carved visible parts immediately make the models different from others, strict and “impersonal”. Products with interesting designs are created primarily not in production mode in factories, but in custom-made studios.

There they develop individual projects taking into account the wishes of clients.

Style

It is very important that the bed matches the overall style of the bedroom. Some, when making renovations from scratch, first choose a bed for themselves, and then, based on the chosen model and its style, choose the rest of the interior items. Those made in the following styles look modern:

• Baroque . It is distinguished by curvilinear shapes, such as curls and flowers. The material most often used is oak or other high-quality trees. It looks especially elegant in white, blue and pink tones with golden hues.

Baroque bed

• Modern . The shapes of such a bed are rounded and smooth, but there is restraint throughout, there are no curls or other decorative elements. Looks beautiful in gray, white, brown tones.
• Provence . The difference between this model is the mandatory presence of a footboard. The rest of the design is made with smooth lines, pastel colors are suitable.

Provence style in the bedroom

• High tech . A low model with sharp corners and lines. The headboard often has one or more small lamps built into it. The bed is made of chromed metal, cool tones are optimal.
• Art Deco . It is distinguished by large decorative elements: flowers, hearts, which are placed at the headboard. The headboard itself is also often shaped like a large flower or petal. The color of such a bed is usually bright, and both metal and wood are used as materials.

An interesting option in high-tech style

You can determine the style of a bed in a bedroom mainly by the design of the headboard.

Practicality of the bed

To ensure that the bed in the bedroom is not only stylish, but also practical, manufacturers use additional equipment.

Stylish, practical, unusual

You can choose a bed additionally equipped with the following design features:

• Gas lift . This is a lifting base that allows you to store bedding and other things inside the bed. This is very practical, but harmful for the mattress, which quickly becomes unusable due to lack of air inside the frame.
• Drawers . The principle of their use is the same as that of models with gas lift. But if in those the mattress is raised to access things, then models with drawers have easier access to them.

Drawers to unload the room

• Built-in shelves . They are attached to the headboard and are intended for storing small things, for example, you can put photo frames or souvenirs on them.
• Side wall . Beds with an additional wall are suitable for those bedrooms that are corner rooms. If you have to sleep near a street wall, then the side bar will protect you from the cold.
• Backlight . It is used as decoration or for ease of reading in the evenings.

• Remote control . Available only in expensive beds. Thanks to him, it can be easily transformed into an armchair, a cabinet and other available options.

Bed in the bedroom

Choosing comfortable models

Materials for double bed

Products are made from different materials. Mostly this is wood or its derivatives - MDF, chipboard. Metal is also used in the manufacture of products. The wood species chosen are durable, resistant to moisture and temperature changes - for rooms with radiators this is important, since with excess heat the panels can dry out and crack. The double bed should be installed slightly away from the radiators. It is advisable that the wooden parts should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

Whether the manufacturer will offer you an expensive or cheaper option depends on the type of wood used for the frame and finishing.

Any double bed should have a comfortable covering for sleepers. As a rule, in most samples it is a recessed mattress with slats at the bottom. The material and content of such a “liner” should be environmentally friendly and not too soft. It is advisable to buy models with natural fillers and coatings that allow air to pass through well. Removable fabric products should be ventilated at least once a year.

They are taken out to the balcony or outside on a sunny day and knocked out (in winter you can do this on clean snow).

Another option that can be found in a furniture store is a double bed without a mattress included. In this case, you buy it yourself. The assortment may include different models - regular or thick mattresses up to 10 cm high. Choose products made from materials that hold their shape well. You can check this by sitting or lying on it for a while - the mattress should not sag much under you.

Typically, manufacturers make three layers of filler - pressed coconut fiber, padding polyester and foam rubber.

In most classic-type structures, the bottom is made with slats or plywood and is necessarily limited around the perimeter by low sides that will hold the mattress. Care of bed surfaces should be regular. Wooden parts are wiped with a dry cloth. Heavy stains can be removed with diluted vinegar (add a little on a napkin).

For leather surfaces, choose special detergent compositions, which are available in departments with household chemicals.

Types of beds

Some people, when they go to a furniture store, have a clear idea of ​​what type of bed they should have.

White bed option

Among the latest models, the following are in demand:

• Horizontal "cabinet ". It can be easily turned into a closet, so this model is chosen mainly by those who need to save space in the room. It rises in width and when the bed is folded, it turns into a shelf on which books and other items can be placed. This model is often chosen for children.

Transformer in the form of a horizontal cabinet

• Vertical "cabinet ". It rises to heights and after lifting it can also be used as a cabinet. Often such models have a mirror. If a horizontal wardrobe bed is often single and is used in a nursery, then a vertical one is usually designed for two and is suitable for an ordinary adult bedroom.
• " Sofa ". Some people place it in the bedroom, but, according to experts, this model is more suitable for the living room.

When you can get an equally comfortable bed from a soft sofa

• " Podium ". It looks very aesthetically pleasing. The frame of such a bed is motionless, which is why it is called a “podium” or “platform”. Usually this model is complemented by drawers on the sides, so it turns out to be useful.

There are other types of beds that can be used for your bedroom. However, experts advise choosing not based on the model or design, but taking into account indicators such as size, frame, mattress and others.

When choosing, we take into account all indicators

Trim color as an accent in the interior

In modern interiors you can find beds that have covering of all visible hard parts - the frame and the headboard. Lining with soft materials not only makes the structure safer, but also gives the model a special attractive appearance.

It often has relief shapes, which creates its own aesthetics.

Upholstered in fabric with filling or leather, a double bed can be of different colors - here the imagination goes further than in a palette of wood shades.

By making a sample in blue, white, black or, for example, green, the manufacturer produces a model that will immediately become an accent in the bedroom interior.

Expensive samples upholstered in genuine leather fit well into the style of sophisticated interiors. In addition to them there are a variety of wall draperies, multi-tiered or straight curtains, original shaped chandeliers, etc.

Colors can be combined, combined with an ornament or pattern. The style of the bed chosen for the room will depend on this.

Frame

The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing a frame, as one of the main elements of the entire structure, is its material. The highest quality and most reliable are those made of wood or metal.

Natural wood frame

When choosing an oak frame, you can be sure that it will last a long time, and both children and even grandchildren will use it. The only thing that will most likely need to be updated is the mattress.

The strongest material is oak

Another common frame material is pine, which costs less than oak and is not as durable. However, if you choose between it and an artificial material such as MDF or fiberboard, then it is definitely a priority. Beds made from wood substitutes are cheaper, but they also break more often, so you have to buy new ones all the time.

Frames made from wood substitutes break more often

MDF construction is considered a good choice.

As for the frame design, you need to choose it, as opposed to the material, based on your taste and preferences. Whether the bed will have four legs or a support structure, whether there will be a backrest or not, is up to you.

The only thing that experts advise is that it is desirable to have a backrest at the headboard. Some people decide to choose a quality material, such as oak, but save money by not using backrests. If it is permissible to completely abandon the one at the feet, then it is better to leave at least a small panel at the headboard.

Upholstered leather headboard

Variations for different ages

Any of the above models are suitable for adults, depending on the style of the interior. As a rule, they are manufactured in accordance with accepted standards.

Non-standard models may be slightly wider and have other shapes - from round to arched.

When choosing, a double bed should fit well into the size of the room. Occupying the entire area of ​​a small room, it will create some inconveniences - for example, you will have to give up a closet or bedside table.

On the other hand, this problem can be solved by purchasing a model with lower drawers.

For children, the option of both single and bunk beds is possible. If the size of the room allows, then the first design may be suitable for children of the same sex with a small age difference. It is also worth considering buying a bunk bed with a wide bottom if you have three children.

The younger ones will sleep on the one closest to the floor for safety reasons.

If a double bed is not suitable for a child’s room in size, then you can choose a conventional design, where the parameters of both “floors” are the same.

Tips for choosing

If you don’t know how to choose a double bed that suits your needs, try paying attention to the following nuances:

• a bed and mattress often cost less if you buy them in one set, but you shouldn’t skimp on quality. It is better to purchase a high-quality mattress separately or choose only comfortable orthopedic models;
• if the bedroom is not large in size, but you want to sleep comfortably, a transforming double bed will help optimize the space;
• not only the width and length of the bed play a role when choosing a bed, but also the height. If young couples can purchase low models for themselves, then for older couples it is better to opt for high options;
• To get up fresh and rested in the morning, you need to sleep on a comfortable bed. Therefore, you should not save on such an important purchase.

Location options in the interior of the apartment

• In the bedroom
  . A large bed, located on a lifting, slatted or solid base with slats, is the most important element of the bedroom interior, around which the rest of the design is formed.
• On the balcony
  . You can also place a double bed here if space allows. An ideal option if the furniture has retractable niches or shelves in the back. To prevent the decor from seeming overloaded, give preference to lightweight models with legs or with rounded corners.
• In the living room
  . For small apartments or studios, folding and sliding types of double beds or transformers that can be stored in a closet or other furniture are suitable. You can try a more creative option in the form of a loft bed. In this case, be sure to take into account the height of the ceiling.
• In the nursery
  . For the interior of this room, modular furniture made of natural wood or chipboard with many drawers is suitable. Bunk options, loft beds or transforming models will look good. For a girl, you can buy a cute double bed decorated with a canopy.

How to choose a bed size for two

Modern furniture production offers a huge selection of beds and sleeping systems. In this article we will talk about the main components of the choice and give recommendations on how to choose the size of a bed for two. You have decided to buy and the first question that arises is: “How to choose the size of the bed?”

How to choose a bed size

• Single beds
  - the width of the bed varies from 70 to 90 cm. Such models are suitable for children and adults.

All sizes: 70x190, 70x195, 70x200, 80x190, 80x195, 80x200, 90x190, 90x195, 90x200.

• Single beds
  - 110 and 120 cm wide - are perfect for large people, or if you are used to sleeping like a star on two pillows.

All sizes: 100x190, 100x195, 100x200, 110x190, 110x195, 110x200, 120x190, 120x195 and 120x200.

• Double beds
  - the optimal width of the bed: 140, 160, 180 and 200 cm. Depending on your body type, living space capabilities - you can choose any dimensions convenient for you.

All sizes: 140x190, 140x195, 140x200, 150x190, 150x195, 150x200, 160x190, 160x195, 160x200, 180x190, 180x195, 180x200, 200x200.

It is very important to remember that the size charts usually indicate the dimensions of the sleeping place, not the bed! The total volumes of the entire structure are indicated separately on the diagrams or in the product description, and this must be taken into account, since your purchase, with limited footage of the room, may simply not fit (for example, it will not fit into the distance between the chest of drawers and the closet). The dimensions of the bed are usually +8-12 cm to the length and +5-12 cm to the width of the sleeping place (mattress size).

Bed size for two

The length of the sleeping place (as well as the mattress itself) is considered standard - 190 and 200 cm. It is optimal that the length of the sleeping place is: your height + 30 cm. Then you can easily accommodate a volumetric pillow and sleep very comfortably. If your height requires a bed length of 210, 220 and 230 cm, that’s okay. Almost all manufacturers produce any non-standard products.

The choice of width when it comes to a bed for two is a particularly important factor, since if there is not enough space, sleeping together will be extremely uncomfortable. We offer the following system for choosing a bed size for two, based on the weight of the partners:

• Approximately equal weight of partners up to 70 kg
  - with light loads, the optimal choice would be a double bed with a width of
  140-160 cm.
• Approximately equal weight of partners up to 100 kg
  - with average loads, the optimal choice would be a double bed with a width of
  160-180 cm.
• Approximately equal weight of partners is more than 100 kg
  - with high loads, the optimal choice would be a double bed with a width of
  180-200 cm.
• If the sleepers are a large man and a fragile girl, or vice versa, pay attention to the classic bed sizes with a width of 160-180 cm.

To make sure the bed is the right size for you, lie down next to you and spread your elbows in different directions. If you don't interfere with each other, it's your size!

Helpful advice on choosing a size

If the dimensions of the room are limited, and every centimeter counts, there are several recommendations on how to choose a bed that is the right size for two, saving as much space as possible:

1. Choose beds with a thin headboard and without a footboard (such models, as a rule, are made almost to the width and length of the mattress, maximum +5 cm to the length and width);
2. Bed - podium: such models are a frame (made of chipboard, MDF, solid wood, etc.), trimmed with leather or fabric, with or without legs. Such models are great space savers, as they practically duplicate the dimensions of the mattress;
3. Beds with lifting mechanisms and drawers make the structure mobile and ergonomic, allowing you to store bed linen, pillows, blankets, etc.;
4. Use only an orthopedic base. By placing an orthopedic mattress on the structure, you will have a full-fledged sleeping place with incredible space savings in the bedroom (besides, such products can significantly save your budget).

Creating coziness in the bedroom and harmoniously “fitting” the bed into the interior is easier than you think. Furniture manufacturers offer a wide range of choice of textures, finishes, colors, shapes and designs. In our online store you can order a custom bed (according to your drawing).
