Modern manufacturers offer a wide variety of beds. Buyers are not limited in the choice of details such as material, design and type of base. Many models are complemented by mechanisms that transform the bed into another piece of furniture. But most important indicator When choosing a comfortable bed, its size is important. To choose a comfortable and suitable bed, you need to navigate the standards, systems of measures and know how to choose the right sizes.

Rules for choosing a bed

To choose the right bed size, you need to know what the standards are. There are three parameters to consider when purchasing:

• Bedroom area.
• Owner dimensions.
• Sleep "habits"

The sleeping place should not only be comfortable, but also fit rationally in the room allocated for it. This is especially important when the room has a small area.

You can’t choose a comfortable bed “by eye”. This might end annoying misunderstanding, when you find that your legs and heels rest against the edges or your arms hang at your sides. Depending on the size of who will sleep on it, you need to take into account everything down to the centimeter. The height and volume of the person is taken into account, plus 20-30 cm should be in reserve.

There are people who are very active in their sleep. Some people are used to constantly turning over and changing their body position while sleeping, while others like to sleep with their arms and legs spread out to the sides. This is also necessary when buying a bed and give preference to larger sizes.

The mattress is always chosen after purchasing the bed! It should ideally fit the parameters of the frame, not be smaller or larger.

It will not work to use a mattress from the USA for a bed made in Europe or vice versa; it simply will not fit in size due to the difference in the system of measurements.

When choosing a mattress and bed linen, it is better to contact the manufacturers of the countries that made the bed. You can also order the mattress separately for specified dimensions, but it won't be cheap.

How to navigate sizes

There are two measurement systems used to make beds. This is the English system of measures and metric. The second one is used European manufacturers. The English system is used in Australia, the USA, Great Britain and some other countries.

Standard bed sizes are divided into several main types:

• Single.
• Double.
• One and a half trucks.
• Children's.

These standards are used in many countries around the world, but even with the same measurement system, they can deviate and differ from the main ones. By standard bed dimensions, we first of all mean the sizes of mattresses. The frames are always larger, on average 10 centimeters.

Among modern bed models there are many designer novelties that do not fit into any standard sizes. This is also worth taking into account when choosing a piece of furniture.

Single beds

Single beds are designed for one person and are designed for a medium-sized person.

The standard length of a single bed is from 200 to 210 cm, and the width can vary from 70 to 100 cm.

American single bed sizes

The American bed marked Twin corresponds to the dimensions of our teenage bed.

Single beds - dimensions

The dimensions of a one-and-a-half bed are small for sleeping two people, but very spacious for one person.

The standard size of a “one and a half” bed is from 200 to 210 centimeters in length and from 120 to 160 centimeters in width.

American sizes of single beds

Double beds

There are standards for a double bed. Considering general systems measures, two people should be able to comfortably sit on it.

The standard length of a double bed is from 200 to 210 centimeters, width – from 150 to 200 centimeters.

When selecting, you should take into account the volume of those who will use the furniture:

• For people of average size, it is enough to choose a mattress with independent springs and a bed about 160 centimeters wide.

The 160 cm wide bed is especially popular.

• For those who need more space while sleeping, wider models are suitable - 170-180 cm.
• For people with a more fragile body structure, a double bed of 150-155 cm will be enough.

Foreign sizes of double beds

For the USA, such sizes are a luxury and therefore they call them “king” beds.

Children's beds

The size of a children's bed depends on the age of the child it is designed for. Standard models are divided into beds for children:

• From 0 to 3 years
• From 3 to 7 years
• school age
• adolescence

European beds for newborns differ from domestic ones by 5 cm - their dimensions are 125 x 65 cm.

There are many options for transformable beds that can be converted from children's to teenagers. In any case, when choosing a children's bed, you should give preference to models with a reserve. Children grow quickly and parents should understand this.

Custom beds

Non-standard sleeping places can be purchased ready-made or ordered according to your preferences. Typically, such beds include those that have:

• Original form.
• Bed sizes are too large or small.
• Unique design.
• With a sleeping space for more than two people.

Bed size non-standard type could be anything. Most often, bedroom furniture over two meters is ordered individually by people with very tall height or weight, as well as lovers of luxury. The cost of such products is always higher. It is important to consider that the mattress will have to be made to order. If it's an oddly shaped bed or unique design, you should ask the manufacturer if he will undertake the manufacture of a suitable mattress.

For those who need a very large bed, you can simply choose the California King option, which has a maximum length and no backrest at the feet.

It's no secret that a person spends almost a third of his life sleeping, and everyone wants this sleep to be strong and deep. A properly sized bed will help ensure comfort while sleeping.

Standards

Typically, the standard sizes of any furniture are determined based on average body measurements. If we talk about beds, the ratio of length and width is calculated by adding 15-20 cm to the average height of a person and approximately 30-40 cm on the sides.

It is believed that average height a person is approximately 170 cm, so the length of the finished bed usually cannot be less than 190 cm. With this bed length, most people sleep comfortably.

With width standards, everything is much simpler - they depend on the type of bed and how many people sleep on it. Therefore, the bed can reach a width from 70 to 170+ cm. The range of sizes is unusually wide.

It is worth noting that standard sizes are different manufacturers may differ significantly from each other. Therefore, when choosing a bed, you should consider where it was made. Let's compare the standards of Russian and European furniture factories:

• Russia. According to GOST, Russian sizes are, as a rule, smaller than European ones, but this difference is not critical. So, in the size chart there are single beds Russian production the width ranges from 70 to 90 cm, and the length - from 190 to 210 cm. Ideal size for a one-room bed there is a so-called soldier, or army, bed 190x90 cm. There is enough space on such a bed, but it is not suitable for two. A single bed, the Russian size of which is 200x130 cm, comes to the rescue in such a situation.

But for adults the best option is a double bed in sizes from 160-180+ cm in width and from 200 cm to 210 cm in length.

• European standards are usually 10-15 cm larger than Russian ones. So, for example, a Euro-bed for one often does not exceed 210 cm in length, and 90-100 cm in width. The European standard for a double bed, which is called “Double” abroad, also assumes 210 cm in length. The standard width, in turn, must be at least 140 cm. Double and triple beds from European companies are interesting names "King-size" and "Super-King size". At the same time, the “King-size” model has almost the same parameters as the “Double”, exceeding them by 5-10 cm. “Super-King size” beds do not have standard parameters and include any large beds 201x180 cm.

For comparison, the length of many French bed models exceeds 220 cm.

Bed dimensions

Furniture companies also offer sizes that do not fit into the general size range. Typically, such beds are several centimeters larger than standard ones or have a non-standard length-to-width ratio. Many of these models are created according to the individual parameters of the bed owner.

For non-standard models, the classification of beds described above also applies. Let us remind you that it includes models that differ in width and, therefore, in the number of people who can fit on them. So, beds are divided into:

• Single. Unlike standard beds, these models reach from 85 to 110 cm in width. They are practically the same in length as wider models, but due to their small width and elongated shape they will easily fit into a small room. Ideally fits one person of average build. However, if a person often changes position and tosses and turns during sleep, it is better to choose a wider option. For example, a single bed.

• One-and-a-half-sleeper It can easily accommodate one person, but it can be cramped for two people. The width can vary from 110-120 cm to 170 cm.

• Double. The difference between them and one-and-a-half beds is quite arbitrary, since their width is 170-200 cm.

photos

• King-size and Super-king size beds, which people majestically call king size. They can easily accommodate two or even three people if necessary. Although a three-size bed is nonsense for the Russian mentality. The width of such models is truly enormous – it exceeds 200 cm.

A description of any bed will be incomplete without indicating such an important parameter as height. Typically, bed heights are divided into three types:

• Low (from 20-25 to 30 cm);
• Medium height (from 35 to 60 cm);
• Tall (from 65 to 90 cm).

The height of the bed is often chosen depending on personal physiological characteristics person and the overall style of the room. Thus, a bedroom in an ethnic or Arabic style will suit beds with a low frame and a low mattress, while in a classic style, on the contrary, high beds look chic, while low beds look out of place.

When choosing the height of the bed frame, you should also take into account the size of the mattress, because it usually increases overall height beds by 5-10 cm.

Other options

In addition to the listed sizes, there are also the most non-standard ones. Typically this is large sizes(smaller models are much less common), exceeding standard beds by two and sometimes three times. Typically, such dimensions are set for models that have a unique shape. For example, for round, oval or square beds. Also included in this category are figured beds in the shape of a heart, star or drop. Such models do not fit into our usual standards, they are rare and have little demand, but in in capable hands designers can interestingly dilute the interior.

It is impossible not to note the convenience of such options. They are so big that you can even sleep crosswise on some of them without your legs hanging over the edge. Sleeping and, most importantly, getting enough sleep on such beds is a pleasure. However, they also have a significant drawback: enlarged models are by no means suitable for owners of small bedrooms - such a large bed will definitely not fit there. And even if it fits, it will fill the entire space, which is equally inconvenient and ugly.

Round and oval models usually measured not by the ratio of length and width, but by diameter, which is also calculated in centimeters. By the way, the diameter of such a bed ranges from 220 to 240 cm. There are also more massive beds, but they are suitable only for large apartments - in small ones such a colossus will look poor. So it will not add beauty to your room. By the way, such models can rarely be found in stores; they are usually made to order according to the customer’s individual measurements. Such a pleasure is not cheap, and you will have to put in a lot of time and effort, but if the desire to have an unusual bed is great, then it is worth it.

Often, such furniture is popular either with people with non-standard parameters or with those who adore luxurious things. Just imagine how chic a round bed will look, built into a window niche like a bay window sofa. Don't take your eyes off.

Models

Often the size chart is adjusted to a specific model. IN in this case the rule applies: than simpler form, the more likely it is that it is a standard size. And vice versa, for an unusual model the size is usually unusual. Model characteristics:

• The most familiar and widespread form of bed was and remains rectangular shape. However, more and more often you can find oval and round beds.

• Some models can be supplemented with unusual elements such as a canopy. This design looks very cozy and fits any bed shape. Also, an unusual backrest and footboard can become an additional decorating element, although there are good bed designs that do not include them at all. It must be said that the height of the backrest largely depends on the style in which the room is made. Classic style requires a high back, and modern trends type Loft give us complete freedom of choice, because they accept and high back, and average and generally its absence.

• Beds are also divided according to the type of headboard attachment, which can be stationary, hanging or attached. Note that large-sized models usually have massive headboards, while single beds either have a very low backrest or do not have one at all.

• Among single and single-bed models, transformable beds with a built-in mechanism inside the frame are more common. It could be roll-out sleeping place or a bed that can be disassembled like a French cot.
• Among similar pieces of furniture, the following stand out: unusual model like a nightstand bed. That's enough simple model sleeping place, which is in assembled form turns into small table or a cabinet. A very functional thing: at night it is a place to sleep, and during the day - coffee table or even full workplace. It is noteworthy that the dimensions of such a bed can be correlated with the sizes of single and single beds. So it can be quite spacious.

• An equally functional model is a bed built into a wall or closet.. Such furniture will appeal to owners of small apartments, where it is quite difficult to place everything you need and because of this it is inconvenient to move around the room. Built-in beds are good because they free up the necessary space during the day. An option for a built-in bed is a wardrobe-sofa bed.

• Not bad extra space for storage there are models with drawers, in which you can hide bed linen, pillows, blankets, things - anything you want. Linen drawers help hide everything unnecessary and not clutter up the room. Such drawers are usually built into double models.

• Among the one-room beds, the most popular was the now forgotten armored bed. Its frame is made entirely of metal, and the base is made of a special armored mesh. It is impossible not to note several advantages of such beds. They are durable and can not break for years, able to withstand heavy weight, do not accumulate dust and cost mere pennies. But their appearance is long outdated, and besides, there is no transforming mechanism for them. Now the armored bed has been replaced by more practical and lightweight models, the base of which consists of slats.

How to accurately determine the necessary parameters?

On the market upholstered furniture so much various types beds that your eyes involuntarily run wild. Therefore, sometimes it can be difficult to focus on buying a bed. In order not to make a mistake in choosing the ideal sleeping place for your apartment, It’s worth making some preparations before purchasing:

• First you need to arm yourself with a tape measure and determine the size of the bed you need: measure the room, think about where you can put the bed and how much space it can take up. Try to imagine your ideal bed - what it will look like, what style it will be made in, what shape it will have.
• Next, you should determine the length and width of the future bed. You need to focus on your height, physique and level of activity during sleep. If a person often turns over in his sleep and likes to sleep in the star position, with his arms and legs spread out in all directions, then it is better to look at beds with a larger width.

• Ideally, the length of the bed should be 10-30 cm greater than the height of its owner. If during sleep a person slides a little towards the foot, he needs to choose a longer bed so that his legs do not hang in emptiness.
• If you prefer a firmer or softer bed, it's worth trying it out in the store. Sit on it, then try to lie down and move around. Try to take the position in which you usually fall asleep and wake up and see if the mattress is comfortable. Remember, you need to choose a bed exclusively for yourself, so uncomfortable options should be immediately discarded.

If a person is too tall or overweight, it is better to give preference to custom-made beds. This will make arranging your bedroom much easier.

• Now we have already decided on the most important thing - the size of the bed. However, when choosing it, you need to take into account a few more nuances, one of which is the choice of frame height. It is generally accepted that height is an optional parameter, and many do not take it into account. However, it also affects the comfort of the future bed.
• The height of the frame must also be selected according to the height of the owner. Low beds are suitable for short people, and high ones for tall people. Models medium height universal and suitable for almost everyone.

• For older people, a low bed (as well as one that is too high) will be uncomfortable: It’s hard to get up from and difficult to sit down with sore joints. Remember that the mattress will certainly increase the height of the frame, so when purchasing it is better to immediately determine the size of the mattress. In addition, it should not be too small, otherwise it will shake while you sleep. Also, it should not be too large - then it simply will not fit into the bed frame and will lie in lumps. Sleeping on such a surface is extremely uncomfortable.
• You should not buy a bed without first measuring it. You can’t go by eye in this matter, otherwise you’ll have to settle for an uncomfortable bed and an eternal lack of sleep. If the dimensions of the apartment allow it, it is better to choose a wider bed with plenty of space.

• Worth paying special attention on bed and mattress materials. They should not be too cheap, otherwise such furniture will quickly fail ahead of time. If the selected model is a transformer and has an internal metal mechanism, you need to make sure that it is in good working order. Ask a store consultant to disassemble and reassemble the sofa, or better yet, try to do it yourself. The mechanism should move smoothly, not creak or jam.
• The material of the upholstery, mattress and bedding also matters. It is worth giving preference to natural and environmentally friendly fabrics. Feel the material of the bed and mattress, they should be pleasant to the skin. Bed linen selected to fit the mattress should be soft and smooth. Rough and scratchy sets of underwear made from low-quality material can chafe or even cause allergies. And it’s unpleasant to sleep on such a bed.

How to make a bed according to individual measurements?

Sometimes even the most wide range models of finished beds cannot please the imagination of the buyer. The right bed I still can’t find it, but I want to arrange my bedroom as soon as possible. In this case, you can stop searching and simply order a product from the master according to your own measurements.

First of all, a potential customer must decide what kind of bed he needs. The procedures here are the same as when choosing a finished bed: you need to evaluate your dimensions, the parameters of the room, as well as the general style of the interior.

When the image of the future bed began to gradually emerge, it is necessary to find furniture company and a master ready to take on this order. To begin with, you can search among ready-made beds for models that are at least approximately similar to the one presented by the customer. After a sample has been found, you should research the company that produces such models and contact the craftsman who makes them. This will make it easier for the customer to describe the desired model, and the end result will be as similar as possible to what the customer expected.

There is another option: you can immediately contact the company that manufactures the standard furniture . However, in this case, the customer must explain as clearly as possible what kind of bed he wants. You can give examples of photographs of similar models so that the master has an idea of ​​what type of bed he will have to make.

When ordering non-standard furniture The customer receives a lot of advantages from the manufacturer. So he can choose any size and shape of bed that is convenient for him. He can choose the material and color scheme he needs. The customer can be sure that it will fit perfectly into the interior of his bedroom. Moreover, custom-made furniture is one of a kind, and it is very nice to own a unique item.

By ordering furniture and helping the manufacturer draw a sketch, the customer becomes a kind of co-author of the work. He puts a part of himself into future subject furniture, which sounds very symbolic.

Of course, the price of custom-made options is higher than the price of ready-made mass-produced furniture, and a mattress with bed linen will also have to be ordered at custom sizes. However, the inflated price is completely justified. Indeed, for many non-standard apartments with small bedrooms, this option is a necessary strategic decision.

Buying for an apartment new furniture, we don’t always take into account the size of the place where we have to sleep. But this is important for good rest. Remember what position you are used to taking in your sleep. Those who like to curl up need little space. But for those who are used to sleeping with their backs spread wide, it is much more. In addition, as people age, they need more personal space - even at night.

Available today different countries beds belong to one of the two size systems existing in the world - English (in inches and feet) and metric - in the meters and centimeters we are familiar with. The first system is accepted among manufacturers in the USA, the second is used by most manufacturers from European countries.

Choosing the optimal length

If the future owner of the bed is of medium or small height, there is no reason to worry. The standard bed sizes (i.e., about 2 meters long) allow him to sit quite comfortably. Tall customers require more space in length.

The length of the bed that suits you specifically is determined very simply - by adding an additional 30 cm to your own height. But if you prefer large pillows or sleep “stretched out”, add another 10 cm.

The standard bed sizes that are most often found are 1.9 m or 2 m. Manufacturers very rarely offer an intermediate size (1.95 m). And an exotic novelty - beds made of bamboo - will probably suit everyone. Their usual length is 2.2 m. Manufacturers, as a rule, are ready to accommodate clients of non-standard height - lengthen the selected specimen. But this will require additional costs.

Now about the width of the beds. They are usually called single, one-and-a-half or double. The names themselves indicate who they are intended for - one person, an adult with a child, or two adults. But it should be taken into account that we all have different habits and builds, and the size of the bed, for example, for the same “one and a half” can vary greatly. This is exactly what we will talk about in more detail below.

Single beds

Their width (we are considering domestic products) can be 70, 80 and 90 centimeters. These sizes of a single bed allow a child or a not too large adult to fit comfortably. You won’t have to toss and turn or suffer from cramped conditions in such a bed.

European standards set the size of a single bed a little larger in width - from 90 to 100 cm. An American-made analogue in the system of measures adopted there will be marked with the designation Twin and have dimensions of 190 cm in length and 90 in width. In our country, such beds are called teenage beds. If you want an American-made bed for one, but longer, look for the Twin X-Long or Extra Long label. Its length is about 203 cm.

Single beds

“One and a half beds” are beds that are too narrow for two and unusually comfortable for one. Their width, as a rule, is from 100 to 140 cm. Although, probably, young and slender newlyweds who prefer to sleep in an embrace will not find the size of beds “for one and a half people” to be so small.

Domestic single beds are more similar in size to European double beds with their usual width of 140-160 cm. If you select an analogue from America for comparison, then the dimensions of the Full model (or, in other words, Double) are most suitable. It is 190 cm long and 137.2 cm wide. The dimensions of the Queen model beds are truly “royal” (203.2 cm long and 152.4 cm wide).

Double beds

For this category of products, a width of at least 140 cm is accepted, otherwise the bed will be very cramped. For a comfortable sleep in the presence of the “other half,” a width of 160 cm is sufficient - especially if you have a mattress with independent springs. This size is now the most commonly accepted. There are also more spacious models - 170 cm wide. And for people of fragile build or those with cramped bedrooms, a double bed with dimensions of 155-150 cm in width is suitable.

If the standard sizes are not suitable for some reason, you can negotiate with the manufacturer and order individual option(in 5 cm increments). But be prepared for the fact that the mattress and bed linen will most likely also have to be ordered separately.

A European double bed can be much larger in size - it can be 180 cm wide or two meters wide. In the USA, such lodges are called “royal”. The most spacious products are Western King or California King standard. They are 182.9 cm wide and 213.36 cm long. And the “royal” King or Standard King models are even wider (over 193 or 198 cm, respectively). Their length is slightly less - 203.2 cm.

How to choose a bed size

Once you find yourself in a furniture store and find yourself in the world of luxurious sleep items, it’s easy to get confused. Therefore, with the most important points You should decide at home.

One of these fundamental issues is the width of the bed. How are you used to (or are you going to) sleep - alone, hugging your loved one closely, together, but so that everyone has enough space, or “in the company” of an infant?

The length of the bed you buy depends on the height of whichever of the two is taller. Add 30 cm to this figure - and the issue is resolved. The place where the bed will be placed must be prepared in advance, carefully measuring the space to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Selecting the country of origin

Since, in addition to the bed frame, you will have to select a mattress and bed linen, you should adhere to unified system measures That is, you should not take a European-made mattress for a bed made in America. American inches and our centimeters do not fit well with each other, the numbers always turn out to be fractional, and it is very difficult to achieve an exact match.

So if you suddenly like a bed from the USA, try to look for other accessories (especially the mattress) from the same production. Because Italian, for example, no matter how beautiful it is, will still differ in size.

Of course, there is always a special order option left in stock, but this is already quite expensive.

How to choose a bed “for yourself”

If you still find it difficult to make a choice, try lying down on the model you like right in the store. Imagine yourself at home, relaxing on a purchased bed. If the bed is intended for sleeping one person, then take a position lying on your back with your elbows bent and connected at the chest index fingers. Are you comfortable? Are your elbows hanging down to your sides? Then this is your bed size - feel free to take it.

If you are tall, you may have to order an individual mattress, which will increase the cost of the purchase by about 10%. But the bed frame must also correspond to it, which should be remembered. If the model of the required size is not on sale, you can contact the factory.

Another option is to buy finished model non-standard size - for example, California King. Its advantage, in addition to its solid dimensions, is the absence of a backrest on the leg side.

Choosing a bed for a child

IN at different ages the child spends from a third to a half of the day in bed. He sleeps and plays in it, sometimes watches TV or reads. Therefore, the sleeping place should be comfortable.

When choosing a children's bed, it is important to take into account age and even gender. The dimensions, material and design of the sleeping place - everything matters for the baby’s comfortable sleep, a feeling of peace and protection.

The advice of pediatricians is to choose a sleeping place for your baby to grow into, and, unlike adults, an extra thirty centimeters at the head of the bed will not be enough. The children's bed has larger dimensions relative to the child's height.

You should add at least 20-25 cm to the “length” of the lying child on both sides - from the top of the head to the head of the bed and from the legs to the edge of the bed. If the space is tight, the sleeping position will be uncomfortable, which can lead to constant lack of sleep. On the contrary, too large a place for sleeping seems uncomfortable to small children and provokes anxiety.

Dimensions of a sleeping bed for a child according to GOST

In cribs for the smallest (up to 3 years), the size of the bed should be 120x60 cm, and the height of each side wall should not exceed 95 cm. foreign manufacturers a children's bed can be larger by 5-10 cm in both dimensions.

Teenage - 180, 90 and 50 cm, respectively.

When is it time to change the bed?

Over the age of 18 - before adulthood - a person, as a rule, “masters” at least three beds. First, a baby crib with high sides. The sides become lower as they grow older, then disappear completely.

Usually by the age of three the question of purchasing another bed is raised. Sometimes this can be a whole set of furniture designed to serve the child. next years ten.

In adolescence, it's time for the next purchase. This is either a teenage bed of quite a “respectable” size, or a furniture set that is no longer of a “children’s” design

Let's consider the generally accepted gradation of this children's furniture by age and size.

Cots for babies from 0 to 3 years

Sometimes - up to 2 years. Beds for such babies come in three types: in the form of cradles, playpens and side beds.

Cradles are used for up to six months; these are the tiniest first cribs. As soon as the baby learns to roll over and tries to rise up by holding the sides (after 4 months), it is better to abandon the cradle for safety reasons. The usual sizes of cradles are 65-90 cm in length and 30-45 cm in width. The height at which the sleeping place is located ranges from 50 to 70 cm.

Side beds are available in different size groups. For babies up to 9 months, their dimensions are approximately 90x55 cm or 90x60 cm. A model with dimensions of 120x60 cm is more practical and versatile; it will last until the age of two. Such structures are usually 80 cm in height. The kit includes an additional side and, most often, attachments to the parents’ bed.

Playpen beds allow babies to stand up, holding onto the sides, and entertain themselves in the absence of their mother. They are usually taken for children under 3 years of age. While the baby is not yet getting up, the bottom of the crib is attached higher - it’s more convenient for the mother. It starts to move, and there is a risk that it will fall out - the bed is lowered closer to the floor, the sides are placed at a height of 60-65 cm.

Beds for schoolchildren and preschoolers

Such furniture differs from adult furniture not only in size, but also in design. In the models intended for preschoolers, there are no sharp corners, the colors are bright, a bed-car, a bed-carriage or even a whole ship is possible

Loft beds with built-in tables, wardrobes or even a sports corner are becoming popular. The required bed size for a preschooler is 150×75 cm.

The dimensions of the furniture set for a child aged 6-10 years are about 150 cm in height, the sleeping place can be located at a level of approximately 130 cm. Height free space above the child's head in sleep should not be less than 70 cm. A schoolchild's sleeping place occupies 170x70 cm.

Teenage bed sizes - standard

They are practically the same as those of an adult. The length is like a full-fledged sofa (190 cm), maybe 2 m, the width is usually 80 cm (110 cm for a furniture set). The height of the complex can reach 180 cm, if the ceilings in the apartment allow.

Domestic manufacturers offer minimal (75 cm) and ordinary (90 cm) width options for a separate teenage bed. In European models, this size is larger - up to 100 cm. The maximum is a double size for teenagers (120 cm), which is rare.

The height of a bed for a teenager can be 45 cm (on legs, i.e. a regular model) and up to 90 cm if the design includes drawers at the bottom.

If there are two children in the family, it will help out the parents and solve the problem of free space in the apartment bunk bed, the size of which should be suitable for children in height and age - this is necessary condition comfortable sleep.

How to buy a single bed and not make a mistake?

Before going to a furniture store, or ordering a product from a carpenter, you need to consider the following:

1. Room area. We remind you that in a small room a huge bed will look ridiculous. Take up extra space. Therefore, if you are 160 cm tall, do not chase a bed that is 210 cm long. If you are tall, consider how to arrange the furniture so that it looks dignified and stylish.
2. Dimensions of the bed itself. Choose furniture that suits your height, weight, age. For a child, consider the height of the bed from the floor. This will make your sleep sound and safe. Legs won't stick out to different parties, or rest against the sides. And the body will be able to completely relax.
3. Select all components correctly. Calculate what parameters of the mattress and bed linen you need. Don't buy covers that are too big. The size must be exactly under the bed.

Don’t skimp on your health, and if you don’t want to spend a lot of money, make a sleeping place yourself!

One of the closest and dearest objects to us in the house is undoubtedly the bed. After all, far from the worst third of our lives passes here. This furniture product existed back in Ancient Egypt. Since then, a place to sleep has been arranged under a roof (perhaps hence the name - bed).

This item was decorated with lace, tassels, curtains, and figured carvings. In Russia, it was customary to silver and gild such finishing, so that this product had a lush, luxurious appearance. During its evolution, it has come a long way from a bag of straw to the modern variety of sizes and shapes. The constant leader in this market segment (39%) in Russia today is the single bed.

The most common type of bed

In some countries, for example in China, it is popular. Its dimensions are very unique - the width of a pillow. In Western and perhaps richer countries, on the contrary, this furniture is made wider for one person: around 120-150 cm.

Such wide, comfortable beds for one person were first called “one and a half” or “one and a half”, but over time the same term came into use - “single”. This was a kind of trick from the sellers: “After all, the double bed is only 40 cm wider, buy it better!”

A bed can have a lot of features: appearance, color, material, lifting mechanism, niches for linen, etc. Of all the characteristics, the most important is size, especially width. First of all, you should pay attention to this parameter, especially as you get older, when you want to sleep in cramped spaces less and less.

How to choose the right size?

Want to calculate how big your single bed should be? Its dimensions are easy to determine. You need to lie on your back, connect your fingers and spread your elbows to the sides. After this, count 10, or even better, 15 centimeters to the right and left from the corners of the elbows, and then measure the resulting distance. This will be the ideal width for the bed.

The second way is as follows. You need to lie on your side, pull your knees towards your stomach and measure the distance from your back to your kneecaps, adding at least 15 centimeters to the resulting figure.

Also, watch how you sleep. If you spend most of your time sleeping on your stomach or back, then you need a wider mattress. Lying on our side, we take up significantly less space.

Standard sizes of single beds

In Europe, as in Russia, single beds with a width of 90 to 100 cm have become widespread. At the same time, the length of such a bed is usually from 200 to 210 cm. In the States, the Twin size with the same width has a length of 190 cm. In Russia, the corresponding the analogue is considered a children's teenage sleeping place.

Most often, the size of a single bed (standard) is 2 m long, sometimes 1 meter 90 cm. Less common is 1 meter 95 cm. But there are also products for giants - 2 meters 20 cm! It is generally accepted that a comfortable length is calculated by adding 30-40 centimeters to height. Thus, the standard sizes of single beds may vary within certain limits.

However, if you have a non-standard height or weight, modern customer service will allow you to increase the length of the bed according to your needs and even order reinforcement of its frame with special jumpers with additional supports.

And in general, custom-made manufacturers will create for you a masterpiece of the most unusual shapes and sizes. Now this is no longer a problem.

Bed option for your home

Today we have many options and modifications of furniture depending on the needs of the buyer. For limited space, for example, a chair-bed is suitable. You can also purchase a wardrobe bed. The compartment bed will not take up much space either.

If your home has a lot of free space, then you probably have a room for guests. It is usually equipped with a small single bed, but with under-bed drawers for storing accessories or luggage of those arriving.

The most important thing is that you like the sleeping place and that it is comfortable. Even a small bed can be decorated with stylish bed linen and feel like in heaven!

How to choose a mattress size?

First of all, it is necessary to accurately measure the sleeping area. The size of a single bed mattress can vary significantly between different manufacturers. It depends on the country of manufacture and the company. It is important that the mattress you choose has the same parameters as your single bed. The standard dimensions of these products are as follows:

• The width is usually 80, 90 cm.
• The length is almost always 190, maximum 200 cm, but an intermediate option is possible - 195 cm.

If these sizes do not suit you, it is easy to order your own version. Production times are almost the same as for standard furniture. The additional fee for such a service will be 5-10% of the regular cost of the product. When choosing the length for your mattress, you need to take into account that your height is at least 15 cm.

In addition to length and width, the mattress also has such a characteristic as thickness (or height). Any options are possible here, but the internal height of the side of the bed should still be less. One more nuance: if users have a significant weight, it is better to choose Standard height usually 16 cm, but in a springless product it can range from 15 to 24 cm.
