The ideal bed: which height of the bed is better?

When it comes to buying a bed, we often think about its appearance, comfort and size of the mattress. But the height of the bed - this is the parameter, which we often forget, and in vain.

Standard bed height

There are three standard sizes (the height of the bed from the floor):

• Low (eastern standard) - 20-40 centimeters.
• The average (European standard) is 50-60 centimeters.
• High (American standard) - 80-100 centimeters.

The most convenient is the height of 62-64 centimeters from the floor. It is this size that allows a person of medium height to sit down and get out of bed easily. This option is suitable for a teenager or an elderly person.

Style and size of the room

The height of the sleeper should directly depend on the interior of the bedroom, its style. After all, this is the most active and often central part of the room. In a classic design and a large spacious bedroom, a tall, bulky bed will look good - from 80 to 100 cm from the floor. This option is suitable for sophisticated natures, lovers of featherbeds and pillows, as well as those who do not find it difficult to climb every evening to such a height. Although for convenience, manufacturers often offer to purchase an additional step or foot pouf.

In a bedroom in a modern style, a high bed will look strange. It is better to choose models of the European standard (50-60 cm from the floor) or east (20-40 cm).

In the case of a more democratic style (modern or loft), the height of the bed can be determined by the needs of a particular person. After all, not everyone will like to sleep almost on the floor, although these options look very stylish and visually increase the size of the room.

Bed-loft for adults

The bed is an indispensable piece of furniture. But what if the apartment is very small, one-room / studio, or is it necessary to combine the bedroom and living room together? Replacing a full bed on a sofa bed means to provide a constant sensation of a mess in the apartment and reconcile with an uncomfortable mattress.

The ideal alternative is an unusual and stylish adult high loft bed. Such models are double and with one berth. Look very unusual, but not suitable for people with fear of heights, pensioners, and their use is highly undesirable in an apartment with a small ceiling height. The height of the loft bed for adults is 180-190 cm.

Bed for baby

The choice of a child's bed is a particularly important matter. It is important to pay attention not only to design, but also to environmentally friendly material, the availability of comfortable rims and the quality of the mattress.

The correct height of the child's bed is first and foremost the safety and comfort of the child. When a cot with high sides is changed to an ordinary child's room, the child takes a long time to get used to a new sleeping place. He can forget and stand on the machine in the middle of the night. It is not difficult to fall out or fall over the crossbar, because he is used to holding on to high and reliable limiters. Many children actively creep in a dream, get out at this moment from the crib on the floor and hit it will not be very difficult.

To protect the little man from possible injuries and fright, choose a bed for a child from 2-3 years so that the height of the bed from the floor is not more than 30 centimeters. Remember that the lower the child's bed, the safer the child will be on it to climb and peel off.

For two children

What to do if you have another baby, and there is not enough room in the apartment? To put two beds next - means to reduce the space for moving games or to deprive one of the kids - to remove one desktop. A good solution for large families is a loft bed. The oldest child is always put on top, because he probably already learned to climb the stairs well and not fall out of bed at night. Although for this case on the upper berth always provide reliable high protective edges. After all, the height of the bunk bed is not less than 160 centimeters.

For the younger child the place is assigned to the lower tier. If the baby is too small, you can put additional sides on the side and at the head. And some parents even come up with their own protective mechanism - pull the net, sheets or fasten a wide chipboard panel and even come up with how to make the door. The height of the lower tier of the loft bed can vary from 20 to 50 centimeters. The younger the children and the lower the ceilings in the room, the more closely you need to treat the height of the bed.

For a teenager

The room of a teenager is both a bedroom and a living room, where friends can be brought, and a room in which the child does lessons or prepares for exams, and a playroom.

You can put a teenager in the room an ordinary bed (30-60 cm in height), but it takes up a lot of space. Folding sofa takes precious time to clean in the mornings and evenings, and is also a source of excess dust in the room. And every parent wants the space of the room of the future adult to be divided into zones: a bedroom, a work area, a recreation area, and ideally also a small sports corner. After all, this division makes it easier to focus on specific tasks and accustoms to order in everything.

How to be? Pay attention to the huge selection of beds under the ceiling. If a teenager likes this type of bed, the height of the bed will allow you to arrange a spacious work area under it, place a large and roomy wardrobe or even a whole wardrobe or put a small but cozy sofa for guests. An excellent choice for a teenager will be a stylish and wear-resistant metal loft bed in a modern style.
