High beds

Having placed a high bed in a small bedroom, you can get not only a comfortable place to sleep, but also a space combined with storage systems. High from the floor option is suitable for almost everyone: living alone, young couples, families with children and the elderly.

Special features

Comfortable sleep - a pledge of well-being and mood. Today, you can find very different furniture for sleeping in the shops, but most people still prefer the traditional sleeping bed to different sofas, armchairs and chaise lounges. True, different heights. Manufacturers note that the standard distance from the floor to the bed surface can vary from 45 cm to 175 cm. Most often there are models up to half a meter high and a little more.

But, in addition to the usual for most of us, high beds are quite common today.They are addressed not only to children who are ready to turn such a bed into their toy, but also to adults who are looking for their own benefits in using original models.

The high bed, as a rule, consists directly of a berth and the basis. This design allows you to place the bottom boxes, thanks to which the effective area of ​​the apartment will increase.

In other words, a bed high from the floor compensates for the horizontal area that the bed “eats”.

Even if the design has various lifting mechanisms, there is enough space for organizing storage systems. Their total volume can be replaced by a fairly spacious wardrobe, so that considerable space is released in the bedroom.

A podium under the bed can also be a great idea to save space in a small room. Raised bed creates a lot of opportunities to accommodate a large area of ​​storage systems. The library, bedding and winter clothes - all this and much more can be successfully hidden in the drawers built into the podium. And in the territories vacated as a result of this, arrange things and appliances that are equally necessary for life.

Species

In order for the bed to fit perfectly into the room, you should consider its features.

High beds come in several types:

  • With drawers. This is an ideal option for small apartments - such storage systems in the bedroom can be an excellent alternative to a dresser or a wardrobe. The only caveat: installing them, you must provide a distance around the bed, so that the boxes can open freely.
  • Baby bunk. Wonderful outlet for families with children and a small living space. The design, designed for children, seriously saves space, the kids like it and allows you to place a full-fledged play or work corner in the niche under the cot.
  • Air mattress. This option, rather, "just fire". If guests suddenly descend, or a situation arises when there is no possibility to put a sofa or chair, then inflating such a sleeping place is a matter of several minutes. And after use, it is necessary to simply blow it off and put into a special bag.

Every day they are not very comfortable to sleep in, but from time to time they help out very well, and it is easy to keep them.Moreover, today they are made of hypoallergenic materials with orthopedic properties.

Advantages and disadvantages

The possibility of successful placement of boxes for things in the base of the bed is the most tangible advantage of high beds. For this reason, they prefer the usual models.

Another advantage may be the use of such a design for the elderly. Because of their age and health, many of them find it difficult and uncomfortable to get up from low surfaces, so a bed with a high base will be a good option for them.

The disadvantages include the noticeable bulkiness of such a bed. Although, if you use design techniques, for example, organizing a podium with steps, then this minus easily turns into a plus.

What influences the price?

In some cases, the price may be a decisive condition when choosing in favor of a particular bed model. The cost, according to the laws of the market, is made up of many factors, including the brand of the manufacturer, the quality and uniqueness of the materials, the unusual design of the model, dimensions. All this should be considered when buying.

High bed is not necessarily worth the crazy money.Today, many domestic producers can offer consumers at least worthy and high-quality copies than their foreign counterparts, and this can be a good savings.

In addition, the ability to quickly and accurately perform the original model according to individual parameters, personally coordinating all the details with the customer, distinguishes local craftsmen from distant foreign ones.

Stuff for a good bed is unlikely to be cheap. Otherwise, such a bed will be rather dangerous than comfortable or will serve much less than could be hoped for with the purchase. It is important that the lifting mechanism for the mattress (if such is provided for by the product design) is made of reliable materials.

Who will fit?

High bed fit almost everything, from young to old. Particularly rejoice in such designs in the bedroom are children who have the opportunity in a regular apartment to climb up to the top floor, having arranged there a secluded corner. Yes, and their parents are happy, because they can arrange children's furniture in the room more compact and ergonomic.

And if the bed is a part of the whole furniture complex, then such a children's room will also look original, which will only enhance the delight of its little tenant.

A bed with a higher base than traditional models is suitable for tall people and the elderly. The latter often experience discomfort when getting up from low beds, it is difficult for them to bend and unbend their legs. And if the distance to the floor is comparable to the length of their lower limbs, then the awakening and the beginning of each day will be more joyful for them.

Of course, here, too, you need to know the measure - too high a bed will create for the elderly even more difficulties than a low one and may turn out to be unsafe.

Location in the interior

The unusual design of the bed will help to create a special bedroom interior. A high bed can be placed on the podium with steps or be equipped with a ladder, on which it is easy to get to the place of sleep. It can differ from the usual bed only by the height of the base or be the crown of design ideas and become a real decoration of the sleeping room.

In addition, a high bed will be a very functional way of organizing space in the apartment. In any case, choosing a high bed, it should be remembered that comfort is first and foremost important, because the most important purpose of any bed is to give its owner the opportunity to have a good rest and gain strength for the new day.
