Bed height

Modern life is full of fuss and worries. Every minute counts and the more valuable it is to sleep. On the issue of rest should be treated with special attention. Many nuances that seem insignificant affect sleep: sleepwear, street noise, dinner, and air. Any speck of dust can spoil the dream. The height of the bed in the creation of comfort plays an important role.

Nowhere is there a single standard. It is believed that the most optimal height for a bed is from 42 to 48 cm. But there is a nuance: people have different height. Finding the right model is no easy task.

However, beds from global manufacturers can be classified into several groups:

• European standard not the highest location. This bed is suitable for people of medium height, in which the length from the sole to the knee varies from 60 to 65 cm. You can sit with your heels touching the floor.

• Speaking of the Asian standard, it should be noted that the height of bed bed in Asian countries is from 20 to 30 cm. These structures are created as flooring, placed on short legs or constructed on the floor. Today these beds exist in the European form.

• American standard the most dimensional models - the height from the floor is 0.8-1 m. Why are such high constructions created in the countries of the Western hemisphere? It is believed that Americans love open spaces, like the deserts of the Wild West.

• A separate bunk bed. It can be divided into several subspecies, but this design can be attributed to the American type. If there are two children in the family, and there is not enough space in the apartment, such a bed will help solve the problem.

When buying a bed you should consider whether it will fit in a room / bedroom / living room. For example, the "American bed" is suitable for a wide space. It is important to consider the combination of bed and light colors on the wall, window drapes and floor covering. Mirrors create the illusion of expansion if they are mounted on walls or on the outside of a cabinet. Materials such as plastic panels or ceilings with reflectors can add height to ceilings.

Asian beds are suitable for small spaces. For more comfort it doesn’t hurt to take care that the bed is in harmony with the environment. Bunk bed is recommended for children's bedrooms. Parent must take into account: the child should not feel the effect of "pressure" on him the ceiling. On average, the level from flooring to ceiling in modern homes in the region of 2.6 m.

You must comply with the following parameters:

• The distance from the floor to the mattress is about 165 cm.
• The minimum level from the mattress of the first tier to the floor is 30 cm, the maximum is 50 cm.
• Distance between tiers: minimum - 80 cm, maximum - 90 cm.
• Well, if the distance between the ceiling and the bed of the upper tier reaches at least 60 cm.

On the second floor of the bed should be equipped with bumpers, otherwise the child, tossing and turning in his sleep, risks falling from the second tier. The boards on the lower tier range from 5 to 15 cm, and on the upper not less than 30 cm. You should also think about the boards when buying an ordinary bed to prevent the mattress from slipping.

Do not forget about the gap between the lower and upper tiers. Parents need to calculate the growth of the child, who sleeps on the "first floor". Otherwise, the child in a sitting position will be unpleasant to knock his head on the upper tier.

Do not forget about such an alternative for adults, as a high loft bed. They are in two versions: double or with one berth. Its smallest height is 180 cm, and the greatest is 190 cm. This option is not recommended for people who have reached old age or are afraid of heights.

Standard height - 39 cm, from the floor - up to 90 cm.

The height “without footboard” varies in the region from 38 to 40 cm. The average height from the floor to the supporting grid is 25 cm. In the case of a mattress height of 18-20 cm, the bedding level is from 43 to 45 cm.

The main part of the total height of the bed is a mattress.

• If the size of the sides is less than 5 cm, then the height of the mattress should not reach 20 cm.
• In the case of 5-10 cm sides, a mattress with a height of more than 18 but less than 22 cm should be selected.
• When the size of a side fluctuates around 10-15 cm, you can safely buy a mattress with a height of more than 23 cm.
