All You Wanted To Know About Types Of Beds
You spend roughly fifty per cent of your life in these! Yes, our bodies rest and recuperate every night on the bed to help us face the day ahead, and yet it is amazing how little we know about beds and the scant attention we given them. Read on to know about beds and which type is suitable for whom.
According to size, normal beds can be of different types, ranging from the California King bed (72 inches X 84 inches) or King bed (76 inches X 80 inches) to Queen bed (60 inches X 80 inches), double bed (54b inches X 75 inches) and twin bed (89 inches X 75 inches). You can also have bed sizes made to order at a premium price.
The correct size of the bed depends on (a) the height of the user, and (b) the dimensions of the bedroom. Ideally, the length should be such that it allows the occupant to stretch legs comfortably, while the width should be enough so that the occupant(s) can turn or adopt comfortable postures. Apart from this, the bed should not cramp the bedroom. It should leave enough room for movement around it.
Bunk beds, built in the style of bunks, save space when you have more kids sharing the same room. Trundle beds serve the same purpose -- they are rolling beds which collapse and can be stored under regular beds.
Futon beds and sofa beds, although not strictly regular beds, double up as one when you have to accommodate a guest. Day beds have a board, which wraps three sides like a couch. This can be used as a seating arrangement during the day. It doubles up as a bed at night.
As per materials used, you have wooden or metallic beds. The former are easier to maintain, while the latter give a more spacious look to the room.
Electric beds have electronic controls to adjust various features such as height. Apart from these, there are special beds to meet specific requirements such as orthopaedic beds (for people with chronic back pain) and hospital beds (for patients).
