Choose a comfortable bed: Design features of the frame, base and headboard, dimensions and materials, price review and manufacturers
People have long wanted to make a place to sleep as comfortable and beautiful. Ito naturally, because the bed in our life plays a very big role. Time "Queen of the night" becomes also the center of evening relaxation. Having dropped the cargo of day care, we read on it, we communicate, listen to music, watch TV, go online
...Let's not tell about the meaning of sleep, it is also known to the child. We only note that its effectiveness depends largely on where we can sleep. At-find the bed today is not difficult. It can be bought both separately and as part of a bed group, which, in addition to the main subject, includes bedside tables and a chest of drawers, or a sleeping kit. All is important. All: design, sizes, backing form, base type.
Anatomy bed
For his long history, one of the most ancient inventions of a person has undergone a lot of transformations. The prototype of the bed at different times was the bench on the legs to which the bed was cast; primitive frame with headboard and straw and scraw; Frame leaning on legs in the form of animal paws and belt covered. Interesting detail: In ancient Egypt, an individual bed could only afford the pharaohs. Uii subjects If there were beds, then, as a rule, impressive sizes, immediately for a large number of sleeping. Climatic conditions and traditions influenced the appearance of this furniture. So, in Europe in the Middle Ages there were beds-cabinets with a facial window: People sat in them and closed the doors. All dwelling dwellings on tatami mats from straw. It is not all the inhabitants of the country of the rising sun prefer the bed - many, like their ancestors, spend the night on the floor. Awerry tropics served the suspension hammock, which also plays this role.

3. The product did not accidentally get the name "Night Day" ("Night and Day") - it is capable of serve both bed and sofa.
However, most people in the world use a bed consisting of a frame and the base for which the mattress is put. The frame, in turn, is a design of two reference backs with side panels (kings) or four bearing Tsarg with mounted backs (two or only one-headed). If the back is attached, use supports: metal or wooden legs, wheels, base base, side walls - on this, actually, and the design is kept. Many modern models are supplemented with a drawer for lingering or stationary (in the second case, the base is lifting). Soda side, it is convenient, especially in a small bedroom: A similar box becomes a kind of dresser for storing pillows, blankets IDR. Solid - it limits air access to the bottom of the mattress that needs ventilation. The same box can turn into a dust collector.
The framework performs primarily carrying function. But his aesthetic role is also not worth discounting. Today, there are often beds with frames, lined with veneer, covered skin and other spectacular upholstered materials.
Manufacturers offer all sorts of add-ons to the lodge: for example, the podiums around the main bedroom, tables and stands integrated into the side distances or headboard. In the future, lamps can also be embedded, which will make your evening rest more comfortable.
Inner world
Some love to sleep on a soft bed, others prefer a solid base. But in any case, the bed must be smooth and maintain the spine. Obviously, full sleep depends on the quality of the mattress. However, it will efficiently distribute pressure, providing an anatomically correct support and adjusting to the weight of your body, only in a tandem with a competently selected base. The latter is also called a frame or grille. The base is fixed on the frame, and it serves as a support for the mattress.

4-5. Single (4) and double-class (5) models with an electric drive. The orthopedic base has four fracture lines, and thanks to this bed is configured individually. Optimal support for the nape and head provides comfort. The bed is easy to use.
6-7. A bed with adjustable (4motor) orthopedic base can be supplemented with an IR remote control.
Not only the convenience of the bed depends on the design features of the base, but also its service life. For example, in the classic English models of Rosbri (United Kingdom), specially made springs on a strong frame from the array give elasticity and softness mattress. The latter is also equipped with springs. The high level of comfort provides spring elements in FroLexus orthopedic bases (Froli, Germany). They are equipped with built-in protection against breakdowns when overloading, which gives you the opportunity to maintain a working capacity with great deformation. The genuine system ViaDo of the same manufacturer is applied by the principle of CLICK + SLEEP, allowing light movement of the hand to adjust the degree of rigidity of each spring. It helps to give the body the correct position.
Nastardard, also standard
If in the furniture store you report that this or that bed has standard dimensions, this does not mean that they correspond to generally accepted. Solely manufacturers (European, Russian, Asian, American) their ideas about typical dimensions. If you are interested in American products, keep in mind that there are quite different standards in the USA than in Europe. Main- Twin, Single, Double, Full, Queen, King. You can add California King, Western King and Eastern King. Twin is dual (two single) beds. Both places are quite narrow, so such a bed is easy to install even in the smallest bedroom. Often the second bed-place is under the first, and it is rolled out as needed. Width similar bed - 100cm, length- 190cm. Single is essentially a type of twin, but with one bedroom. For many adults, this standard is too small. The terms "Double" and "Full" denote double beds. The width of them is 140 cm. Full beds are essentially our one-time, and they can be used for one person. The width of the "royal" bed Queen- 152cm. It is suitable for guest rooms, small bedrooms, for pairs of elegant physique. King, California King, Western King and Eastern King is four names, in fact, one type of bed. Difference only in size: King - 195cm bed width, length - 205cm, and the dimensions of the California King - 215185cm. This is the longest bed, ideal for high people. As a rule, such models are sold by a set, which includes the details of the housing collected on the spot (it is easier to bring them into the house), and the mattress.
Bases with springs are not uncommon. However, solid frames made of array, chipboard or metal are widespread today. Flexible wooden (beech or birch) or plastic rail plates are fixed on them. The more lat, the more reliable the grille. Lats are preferable and from the point of view of orthopedics, since they hold the spine in a straightened state. The optimal number of plates for a single bed is at least 15, for a double-bed 2 times more. The width of the lat is 38-73mm. The distance between the rails should not be greater than the width of the latter itself, otherwise the mattress will be pushed. Reiki are designed to withstand the weight of a person to 150kg. The heavy structures in the places of the highest load (for example, the central section) double lats are installed. They are equipped with special sliding plastic locks (cursors) that allow you to adjust the rigidity of the base and thereby provide an individual level of comfort for each user.
High-quality lattices of a new generation (they are called orthopedic or anatomical) offer, for example, HUKLA (Germany), Simmons (France). At the same time, some models have such a base in the basic bundle package, others need to be purchased separately.
If the base has a built-in lingerie, it is necessary to provide free access to it. The grille from time to time needs to be cleaned and ventilated. Therefore, manufacturers provide a variety of mechanisms that provide a soft frame lifting and holding even the heaviest mattresses of impressive sizes. For example, Froli firms some of their orthopedic bases with special lifting elevators.

8-13. Orthopedic grill of increased elasticity with variable bed-location geometry. The frame without noise is lowered on metal supports equipped with special rubber compensators (8). It is ideal for flexible latex mattresses, and is also suitable for mattresses based on independent springs (9). The control panel is easy to handle (10). The cursor allows you to smoothly adjust the liness of the bed (11). Rubber lat holders-shock absorbers more gently distribute the load on the rails (12). Internal base space can be used to store things (13).
New Comfort Standards require that the bases can be transformed manually or using an electric drive. Models with such a base allow not only to adjust the stiffness of the bedroom, but also change its geometry, that is, the angle of lifting the head, central and foot sections. A twisted bed such a system may even be independent for each bedroom separately. AB Germany, for example, designed a bed of two parts that can be combined and disconnected thanks to a special mechanism. Transformated lattices are expensive - from 22 thousand rubles. For example, the Dream Land bed with an orthopedic transformed base costs about 40 thousand rubles.
Exterior appeal
Another important element of the bed is a headboard, or a back, "performs three functions: constructive (the base of the bed is attached to it), relaxation (provides a comfortable position of a person resting in bed, but not sleeping) and styled. There are many key options. Briefly consider the main.Classic Solid wooden headboard diverse shape.
Wooden headboard. Despite the external attractiveness, they are not too comfortable as a support for the back, as they put pressure only on those sections that come into contact with the rails.
Wood headboard Threaded or stucco resemble sleeping beds of European kings. But you will be uncomfortable to sit in bed, leaning against them, because of the uneven surface.
Head-dresser It can serve as a good support for the back, but its main advantage is that it guarantees additional space for storing things.
Worn headboard Allows you to arrange a bedroom in retro style, but it is not very convenient to rely on the metal.
Headboard, upholstered with cloth or skin, Not only look spectacular, but also make the bedroom cozy. As for the convenience, of all listed species, they, perhaps, best provide reliable, soft and warm support.
Adjustable headboard - In the literal sense, a flexible decision, if you proceed from how comfortable a person sitting in bed. No need to rely on the headboard, standing at an angle of 90, - you can configure it so that you can take a convenient posture when you watch TV or read.
Head of Luminaires - A real find for those who like to read before bedtime. The light will fall just on the pages. Such beds are often complemented by built-in tables on which it is convenient to keep books or magazines.
The styrene function of the headboard can not be underestimated, it specifies the appearance of the bed. The backs are diverse: flat and curved, openwork forged, solid, wicker, in the form of a grid. They are inhabit the cloth and skin of various colors, decorated with carvings and other decorative elements. Actually, on the back and set the style of the bed. The headboard is not necessarily part of the design - it can exist separately, and then it hangs on the wall like a rug.
The height of the headboard is selected individually. If you like to sit in bed, you should buy a bed with a higher headboard so that it serves as a backbone.
We select Size
One of the conditions on which the level of comfort's comfort depends is correctly selected. In addition to the width of the bed, the beds are single, one and a half and two-bedrooms. Standard width of the last - 160, 180, 200cm; half-and-half - 100-150cm; Narrow single models - 80, 90, 100 cm. The length of the bed is 190-200cm, but if you wish, you will find beds with a length of the bed to 218cm. Non-standard models are usually manufactured to order. The size of the bed and sizes of the bed is not the same. The frame may be wider than the base and, accordingly, the mattress is 20-60cm, and the podium models have even more difference. Choose a bed at least 15cm longer than the height of the highest person, who will sleep on it, and is wide enough so that you can fold your hands behind your head and at the same time the elbows did not breathe.

In this case, when you get up, the load on the spine and the intervertebral discs will be less. There are models and higher-52-57cm with a mattress height of 20cm. Lower beds rather an exception to the rule. They are focused mainly on young people. Wide-advertised inflatable beds 20 and even 13cm is absolutely unsuitable for long exploitation, since users may have disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
Material embodiment
From whatever material, the massive, chipboard, fiberboard, MDF, multi-layer plywood or metals were made frame of bed, first of all it should be durable. Putting the material of its pros and cons. For example, the metal frame is very durable and provides increased resistance to loosening, and the beds with openwork forging (by the way, they are in fashion again) looks spectacular, but too heavy. The traditional material used for the production of beds is an array of wood. Soon a lot of advantages: beauty, heat, nobility, the ability to give the product to any shape and decorate it with carvings.
Furnitureeers of different countries often prefer certain rocks. For example, Italian factories are made of dark nuts or cherry beds, Russian, from Karelian pine or birch. Almost all Indonesian beds are made of rattan, Malaysian-Gevei, German-beech or alder, Belarusian- from oak or birch, Finnish, also from birch. The combination in one model of different wood species is characteristic of the products of Romanian manufacturers.

The crucible list of furniture materials Feds and MDF are approximately in the middle between the array and chipboard. They are better than wood chipboard, and relatively inexpensive.
