Types of Beds

While beds come in so many different types and sizes, some of the most common types of bed are:

1. King size bed

The largest standard bed size is the king size bed in which you will be able to sleep with your legs and arms stretched as wide as possible! A benefit of buying a bed is that it can easily accommodate different sleeping positions and patterns of both sleepers. It is also perfect for people with a large family or many pets.

2. Queen size bed

Queen size bed can be a perfect fit for smaller master bedrooms because their width is lesser than its height. The smaller width also helps you save space in the room, proving enough area for other bedroom furniture and to walk around. Queen size bed is also usually lighter in weight, making it easier to move its position.

3. Single bed

For adult single sleepers and older children, a single bed is perfect. The bed also saves a lot of space while being very comfortable. Single beds are cheaper than a queen size bed and a king size bed, and is ideal for anyone looking for budget options.

Types of Materials

Some of the most common materials that beds come in are:

1. Engineered wood bed

Beds that are manufactured in engineered wood have an even and smooth surface and is usually economical when compared to other materials. It has a complete finish and is perfect for anybody who is looking for a stylish and durable option.

2. Leather bed

Things to Consider Before Choosing a Bed

There is a huge collection of different types of beds and mattresses out there making it hard to make a decision. Here are a few things to consider while shopping for a bed that can help you narrow down on what you need:

1. The type of room

One of the first questions you need to ask yourself is which room is the bed intended for? If you are purchasing a bed for the master bedroom that comes with a lot of space, then you might want to pick a king size bed or a queen size bed. if you plan on sharing the room with a roommate, then consider picking twin beds. Bunk beds would be a perfect option for children’s bedrooms and, for a guestroom, you might want to consider picking up a single or a double bed.

2. Will the size fit?

Usually, a queen size bed would fit the average height because it has a comfortable dimension (5 feet by 6.5 feet). However, if the individual using the bed is taller than 6 feet, then they might want to consider a king size bed that is 6.3 feet by 6.7 feet. An ideal option for kids would be single and bunk beds.

3. Quality and Material

Some of the most popular materials are teak wood, mango wood, and plywood, but you could also go for materials like steel that can last longer. Always ensure to choose your bed from a trusted source like Nilkamal so that the quality of your bed is not compromised.

4. Extended storage

If you have special limitations in your room but want to store everything while not compromising on the size of the bed, then you could go for bedroom furniture that allows storage as well. You could either go for hydraulic storage or normal drawers or even have storage containers under beds with spaces.

5. Budget

Though there are so many options, another thing you need to consider is your budget. Engineered materials are less expensive than solid while single beds are cheaper than a king size bed. Different types of storage come at different prices as well so these are factors you need to take into consideration.

6. Headboard

A headboard is usually attached for balance and stability and these will definitely come in handy when you want to sit up on your bed and rest your head. Many people now go for a padded wall panelling instead of a traditional headboard on one wall of the room for maximum comfort. In these cases, however, you will not require a traditional headboard.
