Options for double beds, design features and finishes

The quality of sleep and human health depend on the organization of a berth. The best option is a double bed with a reliable base, comfortable shape and anatomical mattress. However, in the variety offered by manufacturers, it is quite difficult to choose a model that would fully meet the requirements of the buyer.

The choice of optimal parameters

To start choosing a double bed, you need to determine its optimal size. Since not only the minimum permissible dimensions are taken into account, but also psychological comfort and the luxury factor, manufacturers offer a wide range of sizes.

Russian factories offer models in the following sizes:

• The length is 200-210 cm;
• Width - 160-200 cm.

The most popular is the standard 160x200. Euro manufacturers produce varieties of double beds, starting from a length of 200 cm and a width of 200 cm. American-style furniture manufacturers offer models with a width of 135 cm. In addition to the standard, they distinguish the following classification:

Table 1 - A variety of double bed standards.

For the standard size, hundreds of bedding models are presented in any store, and for the royal ones, it must be ordered to an individual size or purchased at specialized points of sale. A similar situation is with the purchase of mattresses. Large double beds require the selection of the appropriate mattress in length, width and height.

The load that the structure has to deal with is also important. The minimum value is 200 kg. The capacity depends on the type of base for the double bed.

Kinds

The bottom of the bed should be strong. Therefore, many choose a metal structure for a double model. The frame is available in three types:

• Frame consisting of backs and two longitudinal tsars. Such a design is considered the simplest and therefore reliable;
• A frame formed by 4 tsars. In this case, the backs and sidewalls act as decorative elements;
• The most stable base, in which the scheme consists of longitudinal and transverse tsars. A design feature is the presence of legs (2-4).

Depending on the design, you can choose a good double bed, which will be convenient even for a full person. If before the products differed only in decorative performance, now special attention is paid to the form, materials and design. Many varieties of double models are considered a real work of art due to functionality and attractive appearance.

There are several types of construction:

1. A sofa bed is a full-fledged sleeping place, which is displayed as a chair bed. The main advantage of this type is its compactness and the large size of the sleeping space. During the day, the product serves as a sofa, and at night opens, expanding the space. The main disadvantage of such a model is the presence of a longitudinal or transverse fold formed during the operation of the folding mechanism. Roughness of the surface causes the lack of orthopedic effect of a berth;
2. Lots of double bed options with storage niches. Such models have one or more boxes for linen. They are located either on the side or at the foot of the product. It is quite convenient to use them, since they do not take up space, but can accommodate a large number of household supplies;
3. 2 sleeping bed with a lifting mechanism. The design of the lifting bed provides for one large niche, which is not inferior in size to the dimensions of the berth. The mechanism can work on springs or on gas shock absorbers. They are often installed in children's beds, as in order to raise the mattress, no special effort is required. Electric bed - the most modern model of this design;
4. Convenient are considered models with bedside tables located on the sides of the product;
5. Double transforming models are the most practical group. These products can be transformed into a table or cabinet. This metamorphosis is carried out using a lifting mechanism (horizontal or vertical type), as well as fastenings;
6. Another compact option is the bed, built-in wardrobe. This is a universal option for small rooms. In the daytime, the wardrobe bed rises to a vertical position and takes on the form of a wardrobe or decorative box. The main disadvantage of using such a model is the raising of the mechanism. Usually this process requires physical effort and not everyone can do it carefully. Such a folding model quite often is not a separate unit of furniture, but is included in the kit of a modular section installed in the room on the entire wall. The modular section with pedestals and with shelves holds many different things that must be hidden from prying eyes;
7. A roll-out double bed with a pull-out berth was especially popular. A simple sofa can actually be a pull-out model. Retractable structures are considered the most versatile and compact;
8. Bed-table is another kind of berth. Its feature is the fastening on the bottom of the design of the folding table. If necessary, you can place boxes or a shelf on it;
9. Single bed, double bed. This design is a kind of folding bed for organizing a sleeping place for guests;
10. Double bed - podium. This type of product can be made of various materials. To save money on the purchase of furniture, many designers offer to create a double bed from Euro pallets. With the help of various objects it can be made higher or lower. And if you need a small bed, you can make it smaller by removing part of the pallets. Such models perfectly complement the loft style, which is becoming increasingly popular in studio apartments;
11. The most expensive model is a double bed with massage. This is a complex structure equipped with special equipment;
12. A double bed in a studio apartment with bedside tables is an excellent solution for organizing a sleeping block used as a play area for a child, a decorative table on which you can put a photo or an alarm clock, and a workplace (if there are laptop stands).

Do not forget about inflatable models. They are characterized by mobility, convenience, compactness. They take the form of a back, relieving tension and relieving pain.

Shape, material and decor

Before choosing a bed, you need to determine the purpose of the product. Any options can be used for a residential apartment, and a hotel room with a double bed usually assumes a standard design (without pull-out parts and complex decors).

The form

Drawing of a double bed begins with the choice of the shape of the product. A rectangular model is considered standard. However, manufacturers of extraordinary design, manufacturers offer unique forms:

1. Square - this model is appropriate in rooms with large free space. The advantage of this form is its versatility. It is suitable for any kind of design. A rectangular bed can be a Scandinavian-style bed or a loft-style bed;
2. Round - such beautiful beds are more suitable for apartments made in the style of hi-tech or avant-garde. A round bed allows you to use it as a basis for decorative items of a textile group;
3. The oval shape is usually used in sliding structures, allowing to increase the length of the berth. Ovalunusual double beds fit perfectly into the classic style or high-tech;
4. The angular design of the bed makes the product more like a sofa. It only differs from it in the absence of a folding mechanism. Such models are convenient to install in any corner of the room. They can be used as a bed for guests.

The shape of the bed is usually selected based on the overall design of the apartment and its area. When choosing a product, it is necessary to take into account the main qualities of the product:

• The form;
• The material from which the model is made;
• Design;
• Color variations.

For each criterion, you can determine the most suitable double bed options.

Material

The quality of products largely depends on the materials used for its manufacture. The most popular are wooden models. The following valuable tree species are used for their production:

• Birch;
• Oak;
• Alder;
• Pine;
• Beech.

Oak double beds are the most reliable, as their lifespan is 50 years or more. The Belarusian manufacturer of double products from oak and other valuable species offers a wide range of models for adults and children. The advantages of wooden models of bedroom furniture are environmental friendliness, reliability, attractive appearance, a variety of shades.

Along with positive qualities, there are a number of disadvantages. These include:

• Limited color solutions;
• The delicacy of care, since the effect of moisture on the material is fatal;
• Susceptibility to deformation due to exposure to temperature and humidity;
• The likelihood of exposure to pests.

An alternative to such products are double beds made of chipboard and MDF, as well as from chipboard. They are more affordable. They include sawdust and wood shavings, pressed and impregnated with chemical compounds. The main advantage of such products is the duration of operation and the absence of deformation even under severe loads.

If the budget does not include the purchase of expensive furniture, it is worth giving preference to chipboards as a basis and backs. Most often, such products are purchased when it is necessary to equip a room with a double bed in inexpensive hotels or rest homes.

The most reliable is a double model with a metal frame. It can withstand heavy loads, has a long service life and is available in a wide range of colors.

If the bed frame should be reliable, then its upholstery should attract attention. For textile design, various types of fabrics are used:

• Practical synthetic;
• Natural eco-friendly;
• Artificial skin substitute;
• Genuine Leather.

Upholstery selection depends on the design idea, as well as on the materials from which other furniture located in the room is made. The following types of upholstery are used to design a berth:

• Genuine Leather;
• Textile;
• Imitation leather.

Genuine leather has several advantages:

• The material is pleasant to the touch;
• Upholstery is easy to clean;
• Attractive appearance.

Along with the positive qualities, a leather bed has a major drawback - high cost. An excellent alternative to expensive models are eco-leather double beds. This material does not look different from its natural counterpart. At the same time, eco-leather is much more affordable, does not cause allergic reactions. While double beds made of leather do not have thermoregulating properties, and therefore their operation may not be too pleasant.

The textile upholstery used for a double ottoman bed should be wear-resistant, soft, temperature-controlled. Natural fabrics are more expensive, but they have an attractive appearance and are more pleasant to the body. If a soft double bed is upholstered with synthetic materials, it becomes more wear-resistant, but due to the low degree of thermoregulation, its surface causes static electricity.

Headboard

The most extraordinary are the beds with headboards. Custom models differ in the types of headboards. The most spectacular look models with a twisted floral pattern or with a soft structural element. For the soft part of the product, both fabrics and genuine leather can be used.

Manufacturers offer several main types of heads:

1. Mounted - are a canvas for the implementation of design ideas, which are attached to the wall. Inside, there is a soft filler to ensure comfort, and on top are covered with upholstery fabric;
2. Attached - products of this type provide for the storage of bedding;
3. Stationary - are an integral part of the design of the berth. They remain in place at the moment of expansion of the structure.

However, such products do not always have to be manufactured by factories. Designers suggest using furniture, carpets, design partitions, panels covered with fabric, books, old doors or wooden battens as the headboard.

The basics

For the convenience of sleep, it is necessary to correctly select the basis. It can be just a flat surface of wood or chipboard. Such foundations are most often installed on low beds in an oriental style. Another option would be an orthopedic base made using lamellas. They are made of beech wood, ash or special plastic. In addition to the base, it is important to choose a suitable mattress.

For double models, three types of mattresses are used:

1. Orthopedic - the main advantage of products is their ability to maintain the spine in an anatomically correct position. This relieves stress on the body, improves back health and improves sleep quality. When choosing mattresses, attention should be paid to the design features and the presence of spring blocks, which are necessary so that the bed does not creak. Modern spring blocks are unconnected, and therefore they fully adapt to the anatomical features of the body and support even a lot of weight in the right position. This has a beneficial effect on the health of the sleeping person;
2. Spring ones differ from the first group in the size of small components, the degree of strength (it is higher) and a high degree of resistance to high weight. This category of products is more affordable in comparison with other types;
3. Springless mattresses have a flat base, and latex, coconut coir, polyurethane foam and foam are used as fillers. Such products are indispensable for children and people with serious problems with the spine. These mattresses are versatile, as they can be stacked on any other sleeping places.

Knowing how to choose the right bed with a mattress, you can ensure the comfort of relaxation for many years.

Frame

The most reliable option for a double bed frame are metal structures. Many buyers are confident in the limitations of decorative design. In fact, modern models are unique headboard compositions, carved legs and complex twisted decors on models with columns and a canopy. For their manufacture, high quality material is used.

The disadvantages of such models are susceptibility to corrosion processes, as well as the need for periodic updating of the upper painted layer. The advantages of a metal structure are considered to be a long service life, reliability of the design, a variety of color solutions, the ability to select an individual decor in accordance with the taste of the buyer.

Combination with the interior

In any store you can see a variety of beautiful double beds. However, choosing even an expensive model, there is no guarantee that it will fit into the interior. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the style decisions of products.

Most of the photos in the catalogs show double beds in the following styles.

Additional features

Particular attention is paid to choosing a bed for children of different ages. A children's bed is available on the market in a wide range, but most of them are single. 2 x sleeping bed for two children - this saves space with a limited area of ​​the living room.

6. For two boys, you can choose an interesting option in the form of a large car or bus.

It is important to consider the age of the child when purchasing products:

2. Double beds for children, if they are already 3 years old, can be with three headboards and with soft sides. This is necessary because the child is growing and becoming more active;
3. The best 2 sleeping beds for two girls, photos of which can be seen in magazines, should have separate bedside tables in the bedside unit, as fashionable babies want personality;
