What could be important than finding a bed that fits your personal lifestyle and makes you feel comforted every time you pull up the covers? New health studies prove that getting a good night's sleep is imperative to maintaining good posture and keeping your body fit. Shopping for the right bed can be a challenge because there are many varieties to choose from - platform beds, bunk beds, sleigh beds, canopy beds. The first step is to define the environment criteria and to select preferences of comfort and style. After all, we spend many hours at rest and the proper bed can last for many years if chosen properly.
Size Constraints
Iron King Headboards
For children, twin size bunk beds are fun and practical because they minimize space. Any other size, double beds, queen beds or king size beds are available in a variety of wood products, oak, cherry, mahogany or painted wood styles. There are also wrought iron metal beds in contemporary or traditional designs. Each bed is equipped with a metal bed frame, often including casters, and a matching headboard and footboard.
For a master bedroom suite, upgraded styles of four poster beds with elaborate detailed wood carvings make a dramatic statement. Canopy beds are fun for children or adults and can be fashioned with fabric to coordinate with the room décor.
Specialty Beds
If the bed is intended to be used for guests, futon beds are comfortable and portable. Another convenient option is foldout sofa beds or day beds that turn an office or living space into a temporary bedroom. Waterbeds were once the rage and are still available in low or high profile styles.
Many bedroom sets have matching nightstands and dressers and some bed styles include headboard storage. Choosing the right bed may help assure a good night's sleep.
