Choosing the right size bed is an important consideration

The average person spends two thirds of their life in it. According to Feng Shui principles, where you put yours in a room can affect everything from your career to your relationship, and supermodel Linda Evangelista was famously quoted as saying she wouldn’t get out of hers for less than ten thousand dollars a day.
Beds are a big part of our lives, from the Single Beds we sleep in as children to the beds we use to furnish our rooms as adults. They are, quite literally, the places where dreams are made, so it is incredibly important that you choose the right one for your sleeping needs.
Choosing the right size bed is an important consideration, as you will not only want to make sure the room accommodates the bed –you will also want to ensure the bed accommodates the person or people sleeping in it, too. The standard measurements for twin or Single Beds are 39 inches by 75 inches, Double Beds are 54 inches by 75 inches, and King size Beds are 76-78 inches by 84 inches. When choosing the size of bed you think you will need, consider the dimensions of the room it will go in, depending on how much floor space you think you will need. Also consider your build and if necessary the build of the person sharing the bed, to avoid purchasing a bed which is too short or will not allow enough room for movement.
Buying the right mattress for your bed is important too, as you will want to ensure that you are buying the correct size mattress for your bed frame. Replacing old mattresses when they are worn out, as well as choosing the right type of mattress for your needs is important if you want to avoid back pain or sleep problems, such as trouble getting to sleep, trouble staying asleep or simply just not being able to nod off. Orthopedic beds may just refer to beds whose mattresses are a little firmer than most, so don’t be swayed by the name, and test your bed out properly before you buy to check it is comfortable for you.
In order to determine which type of bed will be suitable for you, there are a few factors you may need to consider. Do you have a partner you share a bed with? If so, it is recommended you get the largest bed possible, such as King size Beds or Double Beds, to allow you and your partner room to move about during the night. Next, you will also need to take into account health issues which may also apply to your sleeping partner; namely height, weight, allergies and posture concerns.
The style of bed also counts, too. Whether you’re looking for Single Beds or you are hoping to stretch out in King size Beds, check which design of bedframe will fit in best with the general appearance of the room. Is it a modern feel you’re going for? Or a more traditional look? Beds also come in a variety of types from divan to futon, so think about any issues you may have such as limited storage space.
