We are determined with dimensions

When buying double beds one of the important characteristics is the size. The comfort and practicality of the surface often depends on this parameter. Calculate optimal performance by following a few simple rules:

  1. The length is calculated depending on the person's height. To the dimensions of the sleeper you need to add an extra 30 cm, which will act as a reserve. The obtained value should also be added to the distance that the pillows occupy.It is important to consider exactly how you place your head on the substrate.
  2. The width of the bed is calculated with a person lying on his back. In this case, his elbows should be spread out, and his fingers should be placed on the abdomen. The distance from the edges of the mattress to the elbows should be at least 10 cm. If you sleep on your side, then the back should be at least 15 cm from the edge of the bed.

When you acquire a modern double model (“Ashley”, etc.), it is important to count the values ​​obtained for two people. It should be borne in mind that the minimum distance between sleepers can lead to discomfort. Therefore it is better to buy the widest beds possible.

Materials

A special feature of the double bed is the presence of a large area. Therefore, the design of this furniture includes a central support bar. She divides the bed into two halves. With its help, the load is distributed over the entire surface more evenly. This allows not only to increase the size, but also to extend the life of the furniture.

  1. Solid wood. The array is characterized by high strength and durability.It is easy to handle, pleasant to the touch. As materials for such products use valuable species (oak, mahogany, ash, hornbeam, etc.). Expensive furniture can additionally be decorated with carvings on the backside or legs.
  2. Metal. Designs are characterized by high strength and durability. Large beds can safely withstand two people, even with considerable weight. In this case, the frame will not become unsuitable even after several decades (with proper maintenance and care). To decorate the furniture, it is supplemented with forged decorative elements. Often this back, which play the role of supporting legs. It should be understood that the metal is very well combined with wood. Therefore, many beds form precisely of these substances.
  3. Wood materials. These include chipboard and MDF. Beds of them are very common in the market. But it should be understood that the material does not have high strength. Therefore, these "royal" designs will not last long. This type of furniture is one of the cheapest and is rarely found on the market.
