The Complete Guide to Beds: Types, Sizes, Styles, and How to Choose the Perfect One

Introduction

Beds are multifunctional. Firstly, they are the main focal point of your bedroom. Secondly, you’ll be spending about 1/3 of your life on it. Beds serve as a restful oasis after a long day, a place for midnight snacks, a cozy spot for reading and much more.

The options for beds are countless. Platform beds, bunk beds, bed frames, canopies, the list goes on. Beds come in all styles for your aesthetic satisfaction, or space constraints, or comfort needs. That’s why we’ve created this guide.

A bed is a long-term investment for your home. That’s why here at Angie Homes we carry a variety of beds to meet your needs, and your budget. Let’s get started and create the bed of your dreams.

What is a Bed?

A bed is a large furniture item on which people sleep or rest on. The major components are a bed frame and mattress. Some beds have a headboard and footboard. Some beds even have built in storage. Beds are built to be functional and appealing to the eye.

Modern beds make many things a priority:

·        Comfort – Important consideration for restful sleep.

·        Durability – Daily use for many years should be expected.

·        Style – Beds should make a positive contribution to the design of the bedroom.

·        Function – Beds should have the storage options and design flexibility that people are looking for.

A bed is more than a sleeping place. A bed has the potential to create the look and feel of a bedroom. Beds can create a look that is anything from simple and contemporary to elegant and timeless to cozy and country. At Angie Homes, you will find beds that cover all of those looks.

Types of Beds

The structure, function, and design of a bed can be used to classify a bed. Some common bed classifications include:

1.    Platform Beds – Solid bases eliminate the need for a box spring and creates a low-profile bed.

2.    Upholstered Beds – Fabric or leather covered beds with a padding on the headboard.

3.    Storage Beds – Beds with built in drawers or storage space.

4.    Covered with fabric for a soft, inviting appeal, a frame with four vertical posts and a top frame.

5.    Sleigh beds have head and foot boards in the shape of a sleigh with curved lines.

6.    Bunk beds have one or more sleeping units stacked on top of another and are primarily used in children's rooms.

7.    Murphy beds are great for small spaces because you can fold them and shrink them into the wall.

8.    Day beds serve the dual purpose of a bed and a sofa or seating.

Select a bed by considering the dimensions of your room, the lifestyle needs of your family, and your own personal style.

Choosing a bed size primarily depends on the bed's proper scale in your room and to your own comfort.

·        Single Bed – Rooms for kids and a small room for guests can accommodate this bed that is about 3 feet wide.

·        Double Bed – This bed, measuring about 4.5 feet wide, is a choice for one or two people who prefer a tighter sleep space.

·        Queen Size Bed – Couples will enjoy this bed, about 5 feet wide, because it offers sleep space and still fits in most average size rooms.

·        King Size Bed – This 6 feet wide bed is for a sleep space that is comfortable in large rooms.

·        Super King Size Bed – This bed is 6.5 feet wide for large master bedrooms when comfort is the most desired.

Choosing a bed means taking measurements of the bedroom and accounting for the space needed to navigate the room and space for other furniture. Angie Homes caters to all customers with our selection of luxury beds in all shapes and sizes.

Different Types of Bed Designs

The different types of bed designs can be identified with consideration to structural elements and headboard styles. Some of the most common styles of bed designs include:

·        Minimalist Beds – Modern designs with a simplified, low, and unembellished profile.

·        Ornate or Carved Beds – Beds with detailed patterns and carvings that draws inspiration from Classical designs.

·        Four-Poster Beds – Beds with a poster in each corner of the bed that extend vertically adding a commanding presence to the room.

·        Low-Profile Beds – Similar to minimalist beds in their modern design, however, these beds sit closer to the ground.

·        Tufted Beds – Beds crowned with an upholstered headboard that are embellished with tacks or buttons.

Designs complement the theme of the bedroom. Select a minimalist bed in an unembellished room. For a decorated and traditional room, select an ornate bed or a four-poster bed.

Different Bed Styles

Beyond a bed’s design and structural elements, beds can reflect the styling of an era and culture.

·        Contemporary Style – A popular and versatile style that is unembellished and defined by simple design and neutral tones.

·        Traditional Style – Classic elegance with a rich wood finish and detailed style.

·        Industrial Style – Creating a rugged, urban look with unfinished materials like metal and reclaimed wood.

·        Scandinavian Style – For a warm minimalist look, use light woods and balance simplicity and functionality.

·        Coastal Style – Bright colours and natural materials create a light, relaxed, breathable, and airy look evoking seaside living.

·        Glam Style – Create an elegant style using luxurious materials like tufted, upholstered furniture and velvet, with metallic touches.

These categories help you select a bed that shows your personal style and fits your lifestyle.

Different Types of Kids' Beds

Bed designs for kids balance playful designs, safety, and functionality. Popular designs include:

1.    Bunk Beds – Ideal for siblings sharing a room or for accommodating friends sleeping over.

2.    Loft Beds – Beds with an elevated bed. The space below can provide room for a study or storage.

3.    Trundle Beds – A bed with a lower pull-out bed, great for families that need extra sleeping space.

4.    Themed Beds – Beds designed using playful shapes and designs like beds that look like cars or castles, or beds with cartoon character designs.

5.    Convertible Cribs – Cribs that provide the long-term use of a bed for infants and children up to the teenage years.

When buying kids' beds, safety features like sturdy construction, guardrails, rounded edges, and age-suitable designs and sizes should be priorities.

Varieties of Bed Frames

As the foundational element of a bed set, bed frames greatly affect a bed set's appearance and how long it lasts.

·        Wooden Frames – These frames range from rustic, more textured styles, to contemporary, more sleek styles, with the benefit of added warmth and durability.

·        Metal Frames – These frames can have an industrial aesthetic and a minimalist look. These frames tend to last the longest.

·        Upholstered Frames – These frames look more luxurious and come with added comfort to build in headboards.

·        Platform Frames – These frames are designed with a solid/slatted base to eliminate the need for a box spring.

·        Adjustable Frames – These frames can change angles, allowing the user to sit up more comfortably or lie down.

Choosing a style of bed frame is incredibly important, as whichever bed frame you choose will affect the lasting quality of the bed as well as the bed's visual appeal.

Choosing a Bed to Complement Your Bedroom

Choosing a bed that complements the overall design of your bedroom can bring visual cohesion and harmony to your space.

·        Modern – Platform beds are an excellent choice for beds that match a modern bedroom design.

·        Traditional – Sleigh beds and four-poster beds are more suited to a traditional bedroom.

·        Minimalist – Low-profile beds match the simplicity of minimalist design.

·        Glamorous – Tufted headboards framed with upholstered beds are suitable for a glamorous bedroom.

·        For Rustic Bedrooms – Distressed wooden bed frames harmonize with the natural and warm visual style of rustic bedrooms.

Being mindful of a bed's design in relation to the rest of the bedroom promotes visual cohesion and helps the bed design feel more deliberate.

Choosing the Correct Bed for You

Choosing a bed can feel overwhelming. Here are a few things to consider to make the decision a bit easier.

1.    Room Size – Assess the dimensions of your bedroom and the layout of your essential bedroom furnishings to help guide your decision on what size bed to get.

2.    Sleeping Habits – Think about the general sleeping arrangement. Consider how restless you may be while you sleep.

3.    Storage Needs – Think about how much storage space you may or may not have. Consider a bed that has storage drawers or a lift-up storage mechanism.

4.    Design Preferences – Pick a bed design that fits your taste and decor style to preserve your bedroom style.

5.    Budget – Think about how much you want to spend on your new bed. Beds are generally considered a long-term purchase in the realm of furnishings because of the comfort they provide.

6.    Material Durability – Think about the maintenance and durability of the materials that a bed frame may have.

Evaluating each of these things should help you find a bed that is both comfortable and stylish. The design team at Angie Homes is always available to help in the bed purchase decision to make sure clients get a bed design that fits their style.
