Single bed: dimensions

You should choose your bed carefully. This is because the choice will affect not only the quality of your sleep, but also your health. In addition, the structure should last as long as possible. Let's take into account exactly those factors that are worth paying attention to.

Standard sizes of a one and a half bed

Before moving on to the consideration of generally accepted dimensions, it is worth mentioning that their choice depends on the manufacturer. Thus, we can note several main types of beds:

• Domestic;
• American;
• European.

As for the first option, these are models with a size of 200-210 cm in length, we are talking about a standard one-and-a-half bed. Width - from 120 to 160 cm. Speaking about the second option, it is worth knowing that it is divided into several models. The length in this case varies from 190 to 203 centimeters, and width: 122–152 cm.

The Euro version is no different in length from domestic ones, but its width is 140–160 cm. To summarize, we can say that there are no uniform standards. Each country offers its own options.

Non-standard models

Of course, every person's capabilities are different. Some of them cannot afford products with the size of a one-and-a-half bed “standard” in exactly the specified cm, due to the small space of the room or because of their personal preferences.That is, it becomes clear that bed designs can be very different.

1. It’s worth starting with the fact that when choosing a single bed, you need to understand that its sizes can be different. There are many options that buyers use. Often they order options whose length reaches over two meters. They are suitable for people who are tall or heavy. Accordingly, the cost of such a product is higher than usual. In addition, it is worth understanding that the mattress needs to be selected for it personally.
2. Attention should also be paid to the form. It can be not only rectangular. Round, oval and even square designs are becoming increasingly popular.
3. Design. As for design, the most popular styles are modern and classic. In addition to them, country products and Japanese varieties stand out. Beds differ in upholstery material, which can be either natural or artificial leather, fabric, etc.
4. Lifting mechanisms. With their help, it becomes possible to gain access to the built-in drawer for storing linen. Thus, we can say that a lorry is sometimes a cross between a sofa and a regular bed.
5. Some people use a canopy for their bed. And others may choose a transforming product.

What kind of linen is suitable for a one and a half bed?

Once you have a one-and-a-half bed, standard or other sizes, the question arises about bedding. Of course, first you need to think about choosing a pillow and blanket, since they are considered the most important. But you also shouldn’t deprive your attention of bed linen. This most often includes the following elements:

• Bed sheet;
• Duvet cover;
• Pillowcase.

All of these elements are purchased based on their size. They should be 10 centimeters, or even 15, larger than the bed parameters.

ATTENTION! Pillowcases are usually available in three types. The first is 60 by 60 cm, the second is 70 by 70, the last is 50 by 70 cm. The pillow in the pillowcase should be free. But without fanaticism: during sleep, it should not fall out, just like a blanket from a duvet cover.

It is recommended to pay attention to other characteristics:

1. Availability of various fasteners. These may include buttons and zippers. The optimal solution would be the second option.
2. A cut on the side or top of the product.
3. A standard type of sheet or a product with an elastic band.
4. An important parameter that also influences the choice of linen is color. For some people this factor is important. It is advisable to refrain from bright and flashy shades.

What size single bed is better to choose?

The answer will depend on several factors. Firstly, this is the area of ​​the room in which the product will be located. Not everyone can afford a device with large dimensions due to a small room.

Secondly, you need to look at the person’s build. The standard bed parameters are designed for average people.

Third, sleep “habits” also influence choice. You can often find people who are active in their sleep; that is, a person is used to tossing and turning. Naturally, he needs a bigger bed.
