Beds

A three quarter bed or small double bed measures 4′0″ x 6’3″ (120 cm x 190 cm) and is bigger than a single bed but smaller than a double bed.

A variety of bed bases are available, including traditional divans or ottomans with storage and stylish bed frames. The bed base you choose can affect how your mattress feels and performs. It’s essential to ensure the two are compatible so that the mattress is properly supported.

An ottoman bed is a good option if you need extra bedroom space. The base lifts from the end or the side, providing access to one or more hidden compartments underneath for storage.

Whether you purchase a metal or wooden bed frame comes down to personal preference. Consider which type of bed is more suited to your lifestyle. It isn’t necessarily the case that one is better than the other. Both types of beds are stylish, durable and provide good support. However, it is important to ensure that the base is compatible with the mattress if you buy both separately.

There is no definitive answer regarding whether a divan or bed frame is better. Some mattresses perform better with divans, others with bed frames.

A trundle bed is a low bed that can be stored underneath another bed and easily pulled out when in use by visitors.

Upholstered beds can be fully or partially covered in a wide range of soft fabrics, or sometimes even in your own personal choice of material. Combining luxury and functionality, upholstered beds come in various designs that work well in traditional and modern homes.

A zip and link bed allows two beds to be zipped together to create one large bed or separated to create two separate beds.

A bed frame is also referred to as a bedstead and is a type of bed base that supports the mattress. Bed frames come in various styles, such as wood, metal, fabric and leather.

Bed height matters because it affects how easily you get in and out of bed. This is especially important for older adults or those with mobility issues. To determine the ideal bed height, you should be able to sit comfortably on the edge of the mattress with both feet flat on the floor and your knees level with your hips.
