Sizes and dimensions of double beds, characteristics

What sizes are there?

There are two measurement systems:

• English (measured in pounds and inches). Used in the USA, Great Britain and a number of other countries.
• Metric (cm and meters). Distributed among European and domestic manufacturers.

Bed sizes may vary slightly depending on the country of origin. Therefore, when choosing a bed, first of all, they take into account which furniture factory it was made at, for example, Russian or foreign.

It is important to consider that standard dimensions refer to the width and length of the mattress laid on the base, not the bed.

Below is a general size chart:

In addition to standard dimensions, we also produce non-standard beds in individual sizes. In particular, by increasing the width and length or changing the shape - semicircular, round, square, oval. In this case, mattresses are made to order.

When choosing the size of a crib, the most important criterion is the age of the child. The classification of length and width is represented by age limits:

How to choose a bed size?

A few basic rules:

• To make an informed choice, you should measure the area of ​​the room, study the size chart, assortment, and features of bedding and mattress.
• They also take into account the body type, habits, weight, height, length of a person’s arms and legs, for example, it is necessary that the legs and elbows do not hang down or rest against the back, headboard or footboard.
• The optimal size for two should be at least 140 cm, and the distance between sleepers should be approximately 20 centimeters.
• For teenagers, a single bed or a single bed is perfect, and for schoolchildren or preschoolers, you can choose products with a width of 60 cm and a length of 120-180 cm.
• According to Feng Shui, it is better to give preference to large, but not too bulky structures. For two people, you need to choose only a double bed, so as not to create a psychological and emotional imbalance in the couple, and vice versa, if a person sleeps alone, then a single model will be enough for him.
• When choosing a comfortable length, you should add thirty or forty centimeters to the person’s height, this is especially important for those who often sleep on their backs.
• The most convenient option in terms of size is a double design, which also replaces two separate beds and thereby frees up space.
• In a narrow or small bedroom, it is advisable to install the model taking into account the ergonomics of the space. The length and width of the bed should be such that the passages are at least 60 cm.

Thanks to certain sizes, it is possible to choose the most comfortable model, which will provide an ideal, pleasant sleep and give the most comfortable feeling.

Combination with interior design

To make the room look harmonious, when choosing a round bed, you must first take into account the style of the room:

1. The classic will remain relevant at any time. But it should not be confused with the ascetic neoclassical style, which implies the absence of anything superfluous in the room. Modern classics are quite supportive of bright colors and bold decor, for example, a headboard made of red velvety material.
2. The goal of minimalism is to create maximum comfort without resorting to additional interior elements. For such a bedroom, one round bed of calm, restrained colors, a bedside table, and a stylish pendant lamp will be enough. There is no headboard, just a frame, mattress and bed linen.
3. High-tech - here embodies a neat and delicate interweaving of modern decorative elements, as well as the basics of minimalism: an asymmetrical or rectangular back, which can be supplemented with shelves. Transforming models fit perfectly into this direction. At the same time, bedrooms made in this style simply must be equipped with the latest technology: beautiful lighting, heated floors, sensors to turn on the light by sound.
4. Baroque is a movement characterized by natural splendor and bizarre images. A bedroom in this style is especially elaborate, with a variety of accessories and decorative elements that can be imitated. Soft headboards decorated with screed, gilding, and carved wooden frames would look appropriate. Canopies with heavy tassels will suit the place.
