Standard size double bed

Choosing an environment in a bedroom, each person tries to find a middle ground between beauty, ergonomics and convenience of furniture arrangement. Well, if the room is quite large - everything will fit in it without problems, but if it is rather small, as in "Khrushchevs" and "brezhnevka"? Families with small children have even harder to choose from: besides furniture for adult members of the family, there must also be children's furniture: a cot, chest of drawers, a table with a chair and numerous toys.

How to choose the right double bed, which in size would be suitable for a full rest, and was not too big? You will find out about this and not only after reading this article.

Basic principles of choosing a double bed

When choosing a bed, you should pay attention to the following criteria:

• The growth of sleepers;
• Complexion;
• Habits of behavior in a dream;
• The size of the pillow used for sleep.

How to choose the correct width of a double bed?

When choosing a bed, first of all take care of sufficient width of the bed. With the length of the issue is easier to solve. But if you are cramped on the bed, you can not breathe freely and lie only tightly embracing so as not to fall from it, then the dream will be superficial, and night rest will not bring the desired freshness and vivacity. To understand all the inconveniences of this dream, remember the summer hot nights, when you want to take off all unnecessary, and an additional source of heat, even in the form of hot hands of a loved one, annoying.

It is necessary to decide what width will be a double bed

Dimensions of the "standard" suggest a width of a berth of 160 cm. At present, this is the most popular and most often purchased type of bed. Each of the spouses is located on such a bed, absolutely not constraining the other in movements and preparing for bed. You can lie down peacefully, read at bedtime, perform several physical, breathing exercises or a few bodily-oriented practices - a place for this is enough. Using a mattress with independent springs, you are guaranteed not to disturb the sweet sleep of your second half.

In the case of the subtile, fragile, asthenic physique of the spouses, accustomed to sleeping straight on the back, stretching out a string, there will be much less space, so the standard size of a double bed 140 cm wide, from which, in fact, the width row begins, for such pairs Optimal.

If your dimensions are far from subtle, then you should think about a wider bed. The size of a double bed will approach 180 or 200 cm. The habit of spreading legs and arms in a dream, like a baby, will be quietly realized if there is a wide bed. A bed of this width is suitable not only for large people, but for young families, where there are small children. They are very fond of getting closer to their parents, so that they will not be scared and lonely in their crib. Someone is warming up in this way, someone needs a mom because of age or circumstances, but most children want to talk with their parents and listen to a fairy tale for the night. A double bed of large size allows to realize all possible wishes of children and their parents.

By the way, adults and without children can have a great time on such a wide bed. There are people in the world who, due to various circumstances, feel uncomfortable, uncomfortable in the open space. Subconsciously, they tend to cling to the wall or spouse, so as not to feel small and defenseless. In this case, help to overcome the discomfort of the canopy or a few pillows, laid out around the perimeter of the bed or along the edge of the headboard.

There is another aspect determining the size of a double bed. Strange as it may seem, people decrease with age in growth, but at the same time they subconsciously increase their space. Immediately make a reservation that this applies not to all, but this fact takes place. It is about laying hands on the head, wide gestures, not only in the active wakefulness stage, but also in a dream. This circumstance should also be taken into account. It is important that there is a comfortable double bed. The dimensions "standard" here may not be suitable, because the hand will hang from the edge, become numb and cause unpleasant sensations.

Pay attention to the following fact: the difference in the sizes of beds has a step of five centimeters. This fact is important to consider when selecting a bed in a room, especially if its area is not large enough, and the situation further restricts the remaining space.

We select the length of the bed

• With medium and low growth, the standard size of a double bed is 2.0 meters long. In addition, manufacturers offer a length of 1.9 meters and 1.95 meters.
• With growth above the average, the length of the sleeper is calculated by the formula: to the growth we add 30 centimeters. This must be taken into account, if you like to sleep, stretching all the way.
• In the event that a large pillow is used, it is safe to add another 10 centimeters to this formula.

What if the resulting length is more than 2.0 meters?

There are four ways to solve the problem:

• Use a smaller pillow, for example the euro, - it is half the size of the usual large, square;
• Buy a bed without a backrest at the foot end;
• To buy a bamboo bed, the length of which reaches 2.2 meters;
• To discuss with the manufacturing factory of the model you like the question of making a bed according to individual sizes. (Of course, this option will be more expensive, but your vacation on it will not be overshadowed by any inconvenience.)

Pay attention to the drawing of a double bed with dimensions. On his example, we will analyze the basic conventional names, which are used to designate foreign models of beds of different sizes.

In Europe, the size of a double bed, like ours, is determined in centimeters and starts at 137 x 191 cm. This is the classical size of a bed. The next size - Queen Size - is distinguished by a longer length (198 cm) and a width (152 cm). Next comes the King Size with a size of 183 x 198 cm. The largest size of the beds is Super King Size - the width reaches 184 cm. This article clearly shows in the English system of measures double beds, sizes (photo above).

If you want to buy a longer model, pay attention to the Western King or California King. Their length reaches 213.36 cm.

In this picture are clearly represented in the English system of measures double beds, sizes. The photo below.

Are there any differences between the beds of manufacturers from different countries?

European manufacturers measure the bed in centimeters, and American in inches and feet. One inch is 2.54 cm. One foot is 12 inches and 30.48 cm.

Be careful!

When buying a bed of Russian, European or American manufacturers know that you will also need a mattress, you need to buy it from the same manufacturer as the bed. Do not take the mattress from the manufacturer of another country, because it just does not fit your bed. This is again due to the difference in units of measurement. The sizes of a double bed "euro" do not coincide with American and English. Between the mattress and the bed there will be a gap of a few millimeters to several centimeters at best, and at worst - the mattress simply can not fit in the space allocated to it in the bed arrangement.

Custom-made furniture

As it was said before, people of high and very high growth are more often faced with the problem of choosing a bed that satisfies their length, the standard size of a double bed is not suitable for such giants. They are forced to choose another option.

In this case, you should pay attention to the possibility of manufacturing furniture according to the size of the customer. Of course, not all manufacturing companies can go for this, but for most of them, furniture manufacturing by individual orders is possible. By the way, pay attention to small firms located in your city or near it. Often in the pursuit of a buyer, they go to such a step, and a satisfied customer who has paid for the goods at a reasonable price, advertises them to their acquaintances. It turns out a mutually beneficial cooperation.

Among the different types of trees used for furniture, it is worth paying attention to bamboo. A bamboo bed is usually a large double bed. Its dimensions can exceed 2,0 m. The length can reach 2,2 m. To people of high growth such size of a double bed can approach and without superfluous complexities and the expenses connected with registration of the individual order.
