How to choose the right size bed?
Your Body Size
Considering your body size is important when choosing a bed size because it directly impacts your comfort and sleep quality. A bed that is too small may result in discomfort, restricted movement, and poor sleep posture, leading to restless nights and potential body aches. Conversely, a bed that is appropriately sized for your body allows for ample space to stretch out and move comfortably, promoting better sleep and overall well-being.
Who Will Sleep In The Bed
Considering who is sleeping in the bed is essential, as different sleepers have different comfort preferences, sleeping habits and space requirements. For one sleeper, a single bed is 900mm wide, while a king single bed is 1070mm wide and 130mm longer, giving taller sleepers more length. Smaller sizes are likely to be sufficient for young children. For two sleepers, a double bed is 1350mm wide, a queen bed is 1520mm and a king bed is 1650mm, so couples may prefer a larger size to accommodate both partners comfortably and minimise disturbances during sleep. Older people with reduced mobility may also benefit from features such as adjustable bases or extra support.
Your Room Size
Considering the size of the room is crucial when choosing a bed size because it determines the overall functionality, and flow of the space. A size of the bed that is proportionate to the room size ensures sufficient space for other furniture, walkways, and activities, preventing the room from feeling cramped or overcrowded. Additionally, a well-proportioned bed enhances the visual appeal of the room and contributes to a harmonious and relaxing environment conducive to restful sleep. Measure your room first, then compare it with the width and length of each bed size in the table above before choosing your mattress, bed base and headboard.
Location
Considering the location of your space is important to ensure you can get your product into the bedroom. When buying a bed, be mindful of how you will transport the product and to ensure the route you take allows enough space to manoeuvre furniture items. Please consider tight spaces such as hallways, doorways and moving products up different levels, such as apartments etc. Mazon does have boxed mattresses available: Mazon Align and Mazon Eco-Coil.
