Single beds

It is believed that a single bed is designed exclusively for the child. But manufacturers today have improved technology so that there can be no talk of any crowding. The advantages of a single bed are many - from affordable prices to a wide variety of models. And each species has its own characteristics.

Disadvantages in a single bed are found only by fans of massive double models, as well as some young couples who have to huddle together in single space. But the one who lives alone, undoubtedly will appreciate the features of the "single-sided".

Unlike a sofa, a modern bed can be equipped with an orthopedic mattress if desired. Its springs do not dig into the back and a person can sleep with maximum comfort.

Owners of small one-bedroom apartments for the creation of comfort are increasingly choosing bed couches. Its peculiarity is that when extending the bottom panel, one more berth appears. Such compact furniture allows not to spend money on a double bed, which is much more expensive. And it fits very well into the interior and saves space.

The dimensions of a single bed are different. After all, it is designed not only for adults but also for children. The choice of the size of the bed will depend not only on the height and build of a person, but also on the area of ​​the dwelling. Beds are 80, 90 and 100 cm wide. Standard lengths are 190.195 and 200 cm. More standard sizes:

• 90x190. A bed of this size will be convenient for a child or teenager. The bed takes up very little space, but buying it is unprofitable for the family budget. The child will grow up quickly and he will already be closely sleeping on it.
• 90x200 A more pragmatic option is a single bed with a length of 200 cm. It will be comfortable not only for the child, but also for the adult. It will fit even in a small 10 square room. In addition, for such a bed is very easy to choose a mattress and bedding, because it is the most common size of the canvas.

At the furniture market there is a wide choice of single beds - from standard to more complex with various mechanisms. Each species has its own advantages.

This is the most popular type of single bed among buyers. There is nothing superfluous in it: a wooden case and a grid (metal or wooden). Furniture stores often offer to purchase a standard model with an orthopedic mattress. For example, Askona advance includes the cost of the mattress in the purchase of a bed. Included cost of any model will be more expensive. But it will not be easy to pick up the mattress separately, as you can easily make a mistake with the size.

Such a bed will appeal to owners of small apartments, because you can not pile up extra furniture in the room. There are built-in drawer cabinets for things. In appearance, they look like large compartments in a casket. Some models are equipped with two or even three rows of similar boxes.

A single bed of this type will suit a narrow room. Under the seat there are built-in cells. In small apartments, they perfectly replace the dresser. For comfort, these beds are made with soft headboards or with side backrests. But the mechanism in this model is fragile: the springs break very often. Beds with lifting gears are mainly made for children's rooms.

The bed of this type is considered universal. It can be put not only in the bedroom, but also in the hall. During the day, it will serve as a compact sofa, and at night it will turn into a double folding bed with additional space for rest. The sofa with legs organically looks in the living room, and the corner with a side panel is more suitable for a bedroom.

No other bed will save so much space in the apartment. The folding model with one sleeper has a horizontal structure that is screwed to the wall. Above the mount there is a lot of space and you can easily install bookshelves or hang pictures. The folding bed is designed for adults, because it is equipped with a complex mechanism and is too high. You should not save money on a good bed-transformer. It's not safe. A flimsy mechanism can loosen the bed mount and it will just fall to the floor.

A single bed can be sold with or without a mattress. Sometimes it is better to pay the required amount in a furniture store, so that later you don’t look around the city for the desired size of the mattress. The quality of rest and sleep will depend on the right choice:

• The best option is an orthopedic mattress. Its springs are located independently of each other. Due to this, the mattress is fully adapted to the natural curves of the body. So there is no additional load on the spine. Mattresses can be made to order, given the weight and build of a person.The stiffness of the springs depends on the degree of scoliosis and the weight of the sleeper.
• In addition to orthopedic, there are latex mattresses. There are a lot of types of such descript for today. The main difference from each other is the degree of stiffness and composition. Now woolen mattresses and products from coconut fiber are very popular.

Most suitable for a single bed vacuum mattress. Polyurethane foam in the composition ensures durability and lightness. This option will appeal to owners of small apartments. This mattress is very easy to roll and put under the bed.

The choice of colors is quite wide. It will depend on the features of the interior of the apartment. If the walls in the room are dark, then the bed should be for contrast of a light shade. And vice versa. On a plain background of pastel colors, a bed with black fittings will not be lost. This option will always look stylish and expensive.

Models of natural wood (oak, walnut, pine) varnish or painted in natural colors.Bright options for the interior are created by upholstering from various materials: velor, eco-leather, genuine leather, fur, flock, faux suede, chenille, tapestry. Accessories for cots are mostly covered with chenille or tapestry fabric. It can be applied patterns and painted in any color.

The quality of the bed and its price will depend on the material of manufacture. When choosing a model, you should pay attention to the composition, because low-quality components can seriously affect health.

Wooden beds are considered to be a sign of good buyer's tone. They are safe, durable and fit perfectly in any interior. Quality products from this material always comply with GOST. The wood smells good and reflects its insect attack properties.

Many customers in the store have a stupor. They can not understand the difference between chipboard and chipboard.Chipboard plates are made of wood shavings that are impregnated with chemical additives for better pressing. But the chipboard is an improved version of the chipboard. Its surface is laminated and more secure. However, he and the other material are considered low grade. These beds are very heavy and have poor fixings.

Steel beds have ceased to be a mauveton of Soviet times. Many prestigious foreign factories specialize in the production of just such furniture. Steel makes the most durable beds. They can serve for a very long time due to a special stainless steel coating. The metal frame withstands very heavy loads. And such a purchase is available to almost anyone.

The price of a single bed varies depending on the material of manufacture, manufacturer, as well as the design ideas.

A standard wooden bed can be bought on average for 4,000 rubles. The same, but the metal will cost almost twice as much. Designer originally designed models are cheaper than 12 000 thousand.

Classic sofa for sale for 9 000 rubles. And the corner is already over 20,000, as is the model with a lifting mechanism.A bed with drawers with the most optimal price for an average customer is 15,000. A wardrobe bed can be bought for both 30,000 and 80,000. It all depends on the complexity of the configuration: with regular shelves, cheaper, complete with a table and drawers expensive. Cots are not inferior in price to adults. The average price tag is 17,000 rubles.

In the age of technology, you can easily order the right product on the Internet and not specifically go to the store to the other end of the city. Only in the case of the bed will be insufficient to read the specifications, reviews and see pictures. Arrived goods may be completely different from the online version.

In the furniture market you can have a good look at the product, touch, measure the parameters and even lie on it. It happens, after payment of the goods are detected imperceptible scratches and chips.In a regular furniture store, you can easily return the warranty. But when buying online it will be much more difficult. Before you buy should pay attention to the following points:

• We still need to measure the area at home with a tape measure, which is supposed to be occupied by a future bed. The store will be easier to focus on specific numbers;
• You should pay attention to the place where the bed will stand and estimate the possible models for this place. For example, near the window the angular type of furniture will not look very organic, and this must be taken into account;
• It is necessary to know the country in which the bed is made. This is important because American and European sizes vary greatly. Therefore, it is better to take a tape measure and measure the bed in place;
• Do not ignore the quality of the material. If you need an inexpensive option, then it is more practical to take a standard bed of pine than chipboard. Externally, beds made of compressed wood are more presentable, but their dubious quality can seriously affect health;
• Not the last when choosing a bed becomes the design of the room. From it will depend on the color of the future purchase.

American and European models for the price of superior domestic brands of furniture. But in quality they are not inferior to each other.
