Your bed is more than just a place to sleep; it’s the centrepiece of your bedroom, a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation. Choosing the perfect bed involves a delicate balance of style, size, and functionality. At The Wooden Furniture Company, we understand that every bedroom is unique, and we’re here to help you find the ideal bed to complement your space and lifestyle.
Factors to Consider:
- Room Size and Layout: The first step in choosing the right bed is to assess your bedroom’s dimensions and layout. Measure the available space carefully, taking into account any existing furniture or architectural features. Consider the flow of traffic and ensure there’s enough room to move around comfortably. A bed that’s too large can make a room feel cramped, while a bed that’s too small can look out of place.
- Style Preferences: Your bed should reflect your personal style and complement the overall aesthetic of your bedroom. Are you drawn to classic designs or modern minimalism? Do you prefer a rustic, farmhouse feel or a sleek, contemporary look? Our collection of handcrafted wooden beds offers a variety of styles to suit any taste, from traditional four-poster beds to minimalist platform frames.
- Size Options: Bed sizes can vary significantly, so it’s important to choose one that provides ample space for you and your sleeping partner (if applicable). Consider your height, sleeping habits, and any preferences for extra space. Standard UK bed sizes include:
- Small Single: A compact single bed, ideal for smaller rooms or young children. (Typically 75cm x 190cm)
- Single: The standard single bed size, suitable for most individuals. (Typically 90cm x 190cm)
- Petite Double: A slightly wider option than a single, perfect for smaller rooms or individuals who desire more space. (Typically 105cm x 190cm)
- Small Double: A popular choice for couples or individuals who want extra room. (Typically 120cm x 190cm)
- Double: The most common bed size for couples, offering ample space for two. (Typically 135cm x 190cm)
- King: A luxurious and spacious option, ideal for couples who prefer extra room or families with young children. (Typically 150cm x 198cm)
- Small Super King: A slightly smaller version of the super king, still providing ample space for couples or families. (Typically 180cm x 198cm)
- Super King: The largest standard bed size, offering ultimate luxury and space for couples or families. (Typically 180cm x 198cm)
- Lifestyle & Needs: Your lifestyle and personal needs should also factor into your bed choice. If you have limited storage space, consider a bed with built-in drawers or under-bed storage. If you suffer from allergies, opt for a hypoallergenic mattress and natural bedding materials. And if you have any physical limitations, choose a bed height that makes it easy to get in and out of bed comfortably.
