Improve Your Sleep with the Right Bed Size
Are you tired of waking up feeling cramped and uncomfortable in bed every morning? Knowing the standard bed sizes and choosing the right one will help you get a good night's sleep.
This blog post tackles the standard bed sizes and why getting the right one can improve your sleep.
Importance of choosing the right bed size
The size of your bed affects your comfort level. If you're sharing a bed with a partner or a pet, you want enough space to move around without feeling cramped. If you're sleeping alone, you want a bed size that suits your sleeping habits and body size.
Want to avoid back pain, stiff joints, and overall discomfort? If you're constantly tossing and turning throughout the night, you may not have enough room to stretch out and find a comfortable position.
Additionally, your bed is typically the focal point of your bedroom, so you want it to look proportionate to the rest of your furniture and decor. A bed that's too small or too large can throw off the balance of your room and make it feel cluttered or empty.
You can sleep more soundly and wake up refreshed with the right bed size.
Different standard bed sizes
When choosing a bed, size is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Several standard bed sizes have unique dimensions, recommended uses, advantages, and disadvantages.
Single Beds
If you're looking for a bed for your children, or if your house has a guest room, try a single bed. Single beds are 92 cm wide and 188 cm long, making them the smallest standard bed size.
Single beds are ideal for university dorm setups as they fit into smaller spaces. However, they may be too small for taller adults.
King Single
A king single is ideal when a standard single is just too small. In size, they are 107 cm wide and 203 cm long and are commonly used by single sleepers and growing children (typically in teenagers' rooms).
A king single mattress offers more space for sleeping than a standard bed yet is still affordable. However, for couples or taller individuals, it may not be comfortable for you to sleep in this size.
Queen-Size Beds
For couples, you and your partner should consider queen-size beds. These beds are 153 cm wide and 203 cm deep; they are best for couples or even single sleepers who need more space.
Queen beds are common in master, guest, and larger bedrooms. They are quite popular for their size; they offer more space for sleeping than a king single or double bed, accommodating most adults comfortably. However, if you have a smaller room, they may not fit well.
King-Size Beds
King-size beds are 165 cm wide and 203 cm long, making them the widest standard bed size. It is much like queen-size beds regarding recommended uses, advantages, and disadvantages, except a king-size bed is logically more expensive than smaller sizes.
California King Beds
If you want the same comfort that king beds provide but want a slightly wider bed, California king beds are your best choice. They are 183 cm wide and 203 cm long in dimension and are commonplace in master and larger bedrooms.
These beds provide the length of a regular king-size for taller individuals while still accommodating two people comfortably with additional width. However, finding bedding options for this size bed may be difficult.
The right bed size is crucial for your comfort, sleep quality, and overall bedroom aesthetic. Consider your sleeping habits, body size, and room dimensions when selecting a bed size that works for you. Enjoy a comfortable sleep and sweet dreams in your new bed!
