A bed is usually a simple piece of furniture that’s used primarily as a resting place, a spot where one can read, write, or do other activities without having to be concerned about the floor. It doesn’t usually have any additional functions other than being a resting place for the body. In today’s market there are many different types of beds available. The following paragraphs will discuss what each bed type offers in terms of functions, pricing, size and appearance.
Bed Frame: The bed frame is typically made out of a wood such as mahogany or maple. It is the most stable type of bed and typically has a high price tag. A bed frame usually offers two or more sleeping areas and offers support for a mattress of a particular size and weight. They are typically made with an open head and foot board that allows room for a person’s head and feet to be comfortably spread apart while sleeping.
Single Sleepers: They are commonly referred to as single sleepers and come in a wide variety of sizes. Most sleepers offer a single size mattress that is much less expensive than the sizes offered by a king or queen bed. Some single sleepers are shaped like a traditional bed and some are shaped more like a standard sofa with a footboard. The most popular type of single sleeper mattress is the “box spring” style mattress, which is made of box springs that provide support for the entire body. Another very popular type of single sleeper mattress is the “quilted” mattress, which is constructed of layers of fabric that are sewn together to provide support for the body and mattress.
Platform: Platform beds are more popular than single sleepers because they offer the ability to adjust the bed’s height. Most of them come with several levels which allow the user to customize the amount of sleeping comfort. They also tend to offer more storage space than the other types of beds. Platform beds are typically wider than other styles of beds and offer a much larger base and depth than other styles. They also have the advantage of being able to easily match bed frames.
Retro: Retro beds were designed as furniture pieces that have the look of older furniture pieces. They tend to be wider than other styles of beds. This allows the sleeper to move around and comfortably position themselves at different positions on the bed. Retro beds typically made from wood and feature metal legs on the bed frames. Some popular retro bed styles include the “bed hotel” and “bed poster beds.”
Upholstery: A great deal of comfort is gained from having a comfortable bed that is easy to clean. Most upholstered beds offer a variety of different patterns and fabrics in which to choose from. Most of them feature a traditional look which uses a plain colored frame, which is then covered in a variety of different fabrics. This allows you to easily change the look of your bed depending on the season and your personal preference.
