Finding the Perfect Bed: Tips for Choosing the Right Bed Size

When searching for the perfect bed that suits both you and your space, there are several important considerations to keep in mind. Consider your sleeping habits and the size of your bedroom. Pay attention to the design of the bed that matches your personal style and consider functionality, such as additional storage space. Choosing the right mattress is also crucial for restful sleep.

How much space do I need to allocate for a bed?

When considering where to place your bed in the room, factors such as room size, the position of the heater, and accessibility to closet doors should be taken into account. The pathway to the entry side should be unobstructed, and ensuring at least 50 cm of space on both sides of the bed allows for easy movement.

The Right Bed Size

The choice of bed size depends on your individual needs.

For Singles: Single beds with a sleeping surface of 90 x 200 cm are common, while comfort single beds can also have widths of 100 cm or 120 cm.

For Couples: Beds starting from 140 cm width provide enough space for two people. Larger beds with widths of 160 cm or 180 cm are ideal to consider future space and comfort needs.

For families: Beds with widths of 180 cm or 200 cm are optimal when more than two people regularly sleep in them.

For babies and children: As a standard, children's beds are equipped with mattress sizes of 70 x 140 cm or 60 x 120 cm.

At what height should the mattress be positioned?

The typical height for adult beds is about 45 cm. This can vary depending on the mattress, bed base, and the use of a topper. Higher bed heights of 50 to 55 cm are particularly recommended for older individuals or those with back problems.

What is the depth of the mattress?

The inset depth describes the distance from the bed frame to the height at which the slatted frame rests or the mattress, if the slatted frame is already part of the bed frame. An optimal inset depth is 30 to 50 percent of the mattress height and prevents the mattress from being too deep in the bed frame.

Choosing the right bed size is a personal decision that depends on individual preferences and the requirements of your space. Measuring is the first step to ensure that the bed not only looks good but also provides the best sleep comfort.
