Are you looking for a bed for the
master bedroom or a guest room? This
will affect size, style, and your maximum price.
-
Bed size is
important...larger beds typically provide more comfort.
-
What is the height
of the tallest person sleeping in the bed? The bed should be at least
4-6” longer.
-
Choose quality over
cost...most people will likely keep their bed for at least ten years.
-
The bed must fit
into the room, allowing space for easy entrance and exit from the room
as well as ease of opening and closing doors.
-
Consider storage
needs...would a bed offering storage space be beneficial?
-
What are your tastes
and preferences? Are you looking for tradition, grandeur, charm &
romance, or practicality? Are you trying to complement existing case
goods?
-
If seeking a bed for
a child’s room, will the bed be used for only a few years or will it
follow the child through to adulthood?
-
A bed built with a
solid frame for durability prolongs the life of the box spring and
mattress.
-
Remember...anyone
sleeping in the bed should be involved in selection.
