Hello World! Welcome Friends! A bed frame is many things to many people. For some, it is purely functional, designed to foster a pleasant and cozy sleep environment. For others, their bed frame is the centerpiece of the bedroom décor. It adds style and flair to an otherwise blank canvas. To others, it is a combination of the two, with storage, seating and working capabilities.
Whatever your bed is to you, you want to make sure you get the right bed for your bedroom and lifestyle. Here are four tips to getting the right mattress for your bedroom, complete with pointers on what to look for and items to consider before you part with your hard-earned cash.
Get a Frame to Match the Room
Presumably, you are not dealing with a blank canvas. You likely already have some form of bedroom décor and other furniture that the bed will have to match. In that case, you will need to pick a bed frame from isaak.com that fits with the style of the room.
If you want a cozy look and feel, look for bed frames made of varnished wood. If you are going for a more modern feel, a painted wooden frame or metal frame might be more in line with your other furniture. Once you have a vague idea of the style you are going for, you can get into the nitty-gritty and look at different variations of bed frames for sale (sleigh, wrought iron, four-poster, canopy, etc).
Decide if your Bed Needs to Have Storage Space
If you live in a studio or a small apartment or studio, you may want to capitalize on storage space by getting a platform bed or storage bed for your bedroom. This will change the types of bed frame you will be looking at, so it is important to establish your storage goals early.
Don’t Forget About the Bed Frame’s Function
At its core, a bed frame is designed to elevate the mattress so that you can get in and out of bed easier. Depending on your height, age, and mobility, you will have differing needs in terms of height.
One way to establish if a bed will be convenient to get in and out is to sit on the edge of the bed with your knees on the floor. If your knees are lower than your hips, the bed is too high. If they are higher than your hips, then it is too low. People with health complications that might limit their mobility should strive for a bed frame that keeps their knees in line with their hips.
How Will you Move It In?
We all know someone that bought a new item of furniture, only to get it home and realize they can’t get it up the stairwell or through the door. Don’t let this happen to you. Find out the bed frame’s dimensions, whether or not it can be flat packed, and how easy it is to assemble before you commit to buying anything. Even if the bed does come flat packed, it is worth enquiring about the dimensions of the box if space is tight.
