Single bed sizes

In any bedroom should be a bed. Everyone knows that a full sleep is possible only on a properly chosen high-quality mattress, but there is another important nuance. A suitable bed, which will give maximum comfort and convenience, should correspond to its owner in size. However, not everyone knows how to choose the right furniture, which will provide a wonderful night rest. After reading this article, you will learn what are the sizes of a single bed, how to choose the perfect option.

As with the multitude of consumer goods, bed production is also regulated by law., special state standards, which are designed to regulate the creation of furniture that meets the requirements of consumers. Beds are usually standard, but there are exceptions.

GOST implies certain standard measurements. The length of any bed varies from 190 to 220 cm, but 220 cm is not a very popular option among modern manufacturers. This length is designed for people of unusual growth.

As for the width of the bed, it will depend on the number of people who will use the bed.

The most popular models today are single beds, they are ideal for both children and adults. Most often, such furniture is used in children's and teen bedrooms, as well as in small one-bedroom apartments or studio apartments. It provides all the advantages of a full bed, but it does not take up much space (as opposed to double furniture).

The standard width of a single bed is between 70 and 90 cm. Focusing on this, we can distinguish the following sizes of single variants that meet the standards: 70 × 190, 70 × 200, 80 × 190, 80 × 200, 90 × 190, 90 × 200. If the width is more than 90 cm - this is a half bed.

One-and-a-half or one-and-a-half bed has a standard width from 100 to 140 cm. The following options can be distinguished: 100 × 190, 100 × 200, 110 × 190, 110 × 200, 120 × 190, 120 × 200, 130 × 190, 130 × 200, 140 × 190, 140 × 200. Quite often, beds of this size (especially with a width of 110 cm) are mistaken for single-bed models, however, GOST defines the following: width 110 is one and a half.

If the width of the bed is in the range from 150 to 180 cm, we can speak about the following size range: 180 × 190, 180 × 200, 170 × 190, 170 × 200, 160 × 190, 160 × 200, 150 × 190, 150 × 200 - double bed.

These are the dimensions of standard models according to Russian GOST. The choice opens very large, so among the standard options anyone can find for themselves the most suitable, corresponding to the requirements regarding quality, roominess and convenience.

When you want something special, you can pay attention to models whose dimensions are non-standard. The width of a double bed can reach 220-250 cm, while the height will be equal to 220-250 cm. Such an interesting method will help to get the shape of an absolutely flat square. In addition, in such sizes are double round beds.

Such products occupy a lot of space, so their installation is possible only in a spacious room.If the apartment is small, it is better to focus on the standard options, because then they are the standards to fit into ordinary Russian apartments.

There are some differences between the single beds for a child and for an adult.

When choosing a single bed for an adult, it is necessary to take into account the complexion of the person who will use the bed. It is worth deciding on whether it will be used regularly.

As for the sizes, it was noted above that standard single furniture has a width of 70 cm, however for an adult is recommended to buy a bed with a width of at least 80 cm.

To find the right size is not difficult, you only need to lie down on a piece of furniture. Most stores allow such liberty. It is necessary to bend the knees and turn to the side. In this position, the knees should not protrude beyond the edge of the bed.

For this reason, the following sizes are the most suitable for an adult: 80 × 180, 90 × 180, 80 × 190, 90 × 190, 80 × 200, 90 × 200.

The size of 90 × 200 in all senses is the most convenient and salable. This size is suitable for a person of almost any build, this height is suitable for a person up to 180 cm tall. A person with a higher height will have to order the manufacture of a bed according to individual sizes, since height over 180 cm is today the exception rather than the rule.

For a young man You can pick up a mattress of any rigidity. Fillers can also be selected based on personal preference. You can choose a combination of latex and spring block, spring block and coconut fiber, latex and coconut fiber - or any other combination. There are a lot of different fillers on the market today.

To old people It’s better to choose softer versions of mattresses, so the filling of coconut fiber is not the best solution. In this case, the ideal choice would be a combination of spring block and latex with a layer of holofiber (in a soft cotton case).

An excellent choice would be a mattress with orthopedic properties or a memory effect. It completely takes the form of the body of a particular person and “remembers” the force of pressure, which ensures the most pleasant sleep. There are also special mattresses that support the spine: it occurs in the lumbar area, in the neck and head. In addition, some models allow you to quickly and easily relieve stress from strained muscles.

However, finding the perfect mattress in terms of filling and function is not the most important thing. It is more important to choose the optimal size. The mattress should fit tightly on the bed frame; there should not be a large gap from the frame to the edges of the mattress. He should not go beyond the edges of the bed, otherwise it will cause inconvenience. In addition, it can lead to excessive load on the frame, which can cause breakage.

But for a children's room a bed with a width of 70 cm is quite a good acquisition. In addition, there are different size standards for cots. The minimum length is significantly less than that of the “adult” models. The length starts from 120 cm, the cradle for a newborn has a length of 80-90 cm.

Choosing a bed for a child is a very important matter, because up to 15 years it grows, its body develops.A suitable bed is one of the very important components of proper formation and health of a small person.

Newborns also spend in the cradle at least 14 hours a day, so a separate bed is a prerequisite. Psychologists say that children sleep much better and require less attention from young parents if their cradle has soft walls. The special atmosphere of such a cradle gives the child a sense of security, he seems to be in conditions close to the conditions in which he was in the womb.

The size of a standard baby cradle is 80 × 40, but different manufacturers allow themselves deviations from this standard. You can find a cradle with a width of 50, and a length of about 90 cm. In addition, cots for babies can be added with musical accompaniment, lights.

The baby grows and its bed increases with it. A good option is a cradle with dimensions 120 × 60. Usually, these models have sides with wooden partitions, which allows the child not only not to fall out of the crib in a dream, but also to stand up safely, holding on to these wooden supports.

In addition, many models for babies have an important advantage: the sides are often removable, and the sleeper tends to increase in length. The child will be able to sleep on such a bed longer, while there will be no discomfort from the fact that the furniture has simply become small. Usually this model is used up to 5-6 years.

The child grows, goes to the first class, and here the problem associated with the purchase of a new bed reappears. At this stage, in order to save money and space in the room, many parents prefer to buy a sofa bed, but this age is the most important in terms of posture and the organism as a whole. It is better to choose a quality hard orthopedic mattress.

Such a mattress is able to provide the necessary support for the emerging spine. The width of the bed is now equal to at least 70 cm, but the length is still possible to be smaller than for an “adult” model. The most common size for children aged 6 to 12 years is 70 × 160.

If the child sleeps rather restlessly, turns and waves his arms, you can pay attention to the bed with an increased width - the size of 80 × 160.In addition, among these products there are sliding models, the life of such a bed is more than a few years. The mattress is still worth choosing hard enough, it will hold the spine well.

After 11-12 years old, the child becomes a teenager, and he again needs a new bed. He begins to bring friends into his room, life becomes as saturated as possible, new hobbies and cares appear. This means that the bed should be not only comfortable, with a correctly chosen mattress, but also quite stylish, corresponding to his convictions and hobbies.

The standard bed size for a teenager is considered to be 90 × 200. It will already be a full bed for an adult, which is also able to amuse the pride of a rebellious teenager. When choosing it is only important to pay attention to the environmental friendliness and hypoallergenicity of the materials from which the selected model is made.

In addition, choosing a bed for a child, you can pay attention to the bunk models - today, manufacturers offer a wide range. The presented models may differ in various functionalities and be equipped with accessories.

To save space in the room of a teenager, the manufacturer combines a desk, a wardrobe and a bed in a bunk bed. On the first tier, the wardrobe and table are most often located, and the top is occupied by a full bed. The table can have a variety of lights and shelves - for ease of learning. It can be a full-fledged computer desk with a convenient shelf for a monitor, a roll-out top for the keyboard and a stand for the system unit.

The sizes of bunk models are standard and are equal to the size of regular beds. The width of a berth will vary from 70 to 90 cm, and length - from 160 to 200 cm.

The type of non-standard beds are products with original style, size solutions.

The following groups of non-standard options can be distinguished:

• models with non-standard width of a berth;
• increased bed length - more than 220 cm;
• original design of the frame and headboard;
• non-standard forms;
• non-standard solution to the height of the model.

So, The simplest versions of non-standard models are products with an increased length. People with non-standard growth have to resort to the services of creating an individual frame of increased length. As a rule, the length of such products is from 220 cm.The cost of these models is slightly higher than the price of the standard options, but they provide the most comfortable bed for a tall person.

In addition, for tall people, there is another "assistant", which provides a pleasant pastime. You can buy a bed without one backrest - as a result, the absence of this barrier somewhat extends the length of the furniture and does not constrain the sleeping person with chains on both sides.

The differences are not only in length. Non-standard models can be wider or already ordinary products, in addition, there are intermediate options - 850, 750, 930, 675, 1050 and others. Such options are very well suited when, for example, furniture has to stand in a specific (specific size) place, and the person does not want the gap between the bed and the wall - or other objects with which the furniture comes in contact.

Those dimensional options that are non-standard, provoke the emergence of some problems when purchasing a mattress and accessories - in contrast to the sizes already known from the article (900 × 2000, 90 × 2000, 800 × 2000, 800 × 1900, 1000 × 2000). Mattresses also have to be ordered according to individual sizes, which makes the purchase somewhat more expensive, but allows you to use a unique product,manufactured for a specific person and his requests for many years.

Beds of non-standard sizes are also used for large cottages, where there is a lot of free space. Beds with a length and width of more than 220 cm (with canopies, various decorations, lighting, music) are transformed into status acquisitions that are very expensive, but they are able to demonstrate the level of income of the owner and his taste. Often these products are called king-size beds - due to the truly royal size.

For bed heights there are also some standards. The bed is considered low if it has a height of 30-40 cm, the average and most common is 60 cm. The bed 80 cm is considered high. If the height of the selected model is different, the furniture of this type will also be considered non-standard.

Typically, manufacturers go for changes in height to maintain a particular style in which a particular model is executed. For example, for a room in the Japanese style it is often customary to underestimate the height, and for classics or Provence, high options are very well suited - with chic backs and decor.

Interesting non-standard models can be called rustic bedsThey are created from raw log houses of young trees. Such furniture looks quite rough, but with proper play in the interior, it is quite appropriate. This product will attract the attention of your friends and acquaintances.

Beds, hammocks, "cocoons" in high-tech style, beds with additional elements in the form of tables, attached bedside tables can also be attributed to non-standard.

To a separate group can be attributed so popular today. round beds. Usually they are of considerable size and require a fairly spacious room. In addition, the mattress can only be purchased complete with the bed itself, but these difficulties are nothing in comparison with the awareness of owning such furniture. It will add a special charm and novelty to the familiar interior.

When choosing a single bed Special attention should be paid to the following characteristics:

• dimensions (width and length);
• frame material;
• basis under the mattress.

When choosing, it is necessary to ensure that the furniture is necessarily perfect for growth.It may be longer (for example, for an outgrowth for a child), but in no case can it be shorter than height plus 20 cm, otherwise it will not be a pleasant dream. Therefore, it is important to select the options of the desired length. In addition, when buying in a retail store, it is advised to test the furniture for its convenience and relevance to growth.

The correct width is equally important. When choosing, it is necessary to remember that the single bed for a child has a width of 60 to 90 cm. "Adult" models most often have a width of 90 cm, since such furniture is as comfortable as possible.

There are a lot of materials from which the frames are made. The most common materials are wood, metal and MDF. Today they are creating models from plastic, cardboard, pallet - the latter are currently very popular.

The tree is able to retain heat in itself, which means that accidental contact with the frame elements during sleep will not cause discomfort - unlike in a similar situation with a metal frame.The most popular today are frames made of solid pine, oak and beech.

As for the basis under the mattress - today, manufacturers offer 2 basic options for the base: slats, sheet of plywood. Some manufacturers still offer variants with armor-clad nets, but such products are rare. Usually they are to the taste of a collector or someone who is so used to this basis in childhood that he simply refuses to accept another one.

The most popular and high-quality option is still the base of the slats. Thin wooden plates that make up the base, can withstand a weight of up to 150 kg per bed. They provide an orthopedic effect.

Choosing the right bed is only half the battle It is very important to choose a quality mattress to it. It should correspond as much as possible to the frame size. Most often, the desired size is determined by the exact size of the base on which the mattress will be placed later.

We should also pay attention to the choice of design and color of the bed. For example, white frames are very popular, as they are the most versatile in terms of overall design and are able to “get along” well in almost any interior. Among the most popular dark colors are black and wenge, they also fit almost any decor. If you want to create a bright accent, you can concentrate on red, violet and blue.

Choosing a bed of the right size is something that cannot be called simple. Remember that convenience depends on size - if the furniture turns out to be too small, for example, you can forget about a pleasant and healthy sleep. This will affect the overall well-being of the person. If you want to get enough sleep and always be vigorous in the afternoon, approach the choice of a suitable bed as seriously as possible. Try to check the fit of the furniture to your height right in the store.
