When it comes to beds, many friends are concerned about the size.

In fact, the most common sizes of beds in the bedroom are 1.8 meters and 1.5 meters. Of course, here we are talking about the width of the bed.

But some friends think that the wider the bed is, the better; some friends think that as long as the bed fits the bed, it's fine.



So, how wide should you choose for your bed?

I don’t know if you have noticed that more and more people now choose 1.5-meter beds instead of 1.8-meter beds.

I have bought both sizes of beds at home. After experiencing them myself, there are some things that must be said later. It is really uncomfortable to hold them back!



Why were 1.8-meter beds so popular in the past?

When it comes to beds, most of our friends believe that the wider the bed, the better.

Of course, if the bedroom in our home is very large, it will feel very comfortable to put a very wide bed in it.

In fact, for a period of time, we were blindly pursuing large furniture for our home.

I personally believe that the reason why 1.8-meter beds were so popular in the past was due to the following reasons.

1. Large bedroom

The size of the bedroom largely determines why many friends will pursue a 1.8-meter bed.

Because when we buy a bed, most of us will consider the area of ​​the bedroom. If the area allows, the bigger the furniture, the better.

I wonder if you have noticed that the bedroom before was indeed bigger than the bedroom now.

The bedrooms in traditional three-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments are basically 10 square meters or even 15 square meters.



Therefore, it is more appropriate to put a 1.8-meter bed in these large-sized bedrooms:

1. The bedroom layout is also very reasonable. Because the bedroom area reaches 10 square meters, so we put a 1.8-meter bed, which is more than enough, and there is no need to worry about crowding.

2. The bedroom is too big, and if you put a relatively small bed in it, it will look out of place. For example, if you put a 1.5-meter bed in a bedroom of 15 square meters or even 20 square meters, it will really be out of place.

Therefore, the area of ​​the bedroom actually determines the size of the bed we can choose to a certain extent.



2. Comfortable

The purpose of buying a bed is to have a comfortable sleep.

If the bed is uncomfortable, you will toss and turn and have difficulty falling asleep on it, which is indeed not good.

The comfort of a bed does in fact have a certain relationship with its size.

For some friends, they particularly like lying on a very wide bed.



A relatively large bed does have the following advantages in terms of comfort:

1. The body can stretch and turn more freely. For example, when we lie on the bed, our arms can be fully extended, which will make us feel very comfortable and will not fall under the bed.

2. Even if two people lie on the 1.8-meter bed, they still feel that the bed is very spacious and not crowded. Therefore, in terms of comfort, it is also very good.

Therefore, for some friends, they particularly like larger beds and they feel really comfortable lying on them.



3. Follow the trend

In fact, 1.8-meter beds appear in many friends' homes, which is to a certain extent due to following the trend.

Because there are certain limitations for a 1.8-meter bed, which means that the bedroom must be very large.

Moreover, a 1.8-meter bed is basically a double bed.

If you are single and buy a 1.8-meter chair, you may not feel that comfortable.



The reason why many friends also buy 1.8-meter beds is actually because they follow the trend:

1. During that period, 1.8-meter beds were indeed very popular. When we went to buy a bed, we found that the main beds on the market were 1.8-meter beds, and there were many options.

2. I heard others say: When buying a bed, it is better to buy a big one than a small one. So I followed their advice and ended up blindly buying a 1.8-meter bed without considering the size of the bedroom.

Therefore, buying furniture is to a certain extent a matter of following trends, which is also an important reason why certain furniture becomes very popular for a period of time.



Nowadays, why more and more people buy 1.5-meter beds instead of 1.8-meter beds?

However, at this stage, more and more people no longer buy 1.8-meter beds, but 1.5-meter beds.

I guess most of my friends would agree with this.

In fact, there are many reasons why more and more people buy 1.5-meter beds instead of 1.8-meter beds.

I have made a detailed summary of the reasons, and I think there are four main reasons:



1. Small bedroom

The small size of the bedroom determines, to a certain extent, that we can only buy a 1.5-meter bed, but not a 1.8-meter bed.

As the room types change, you will find that the bedrooms are also gradually changing.

One of the most prominent changes is that bedrooms are becoming smaller and smaller.

In fact, the bedrooms in traditional houses are basically around 10 to 12 square meters.

However, if you go to buy a house now, you will find that the large bedroom may be only about 10 square meters, and the small bedroom is only seven or eight square meters.



Therefore, for these small bedrooms, if you buy a large bed, there will be the following problems:

1. It can’t be opened. After putting down the 1.8-meter bed, I found that the wardrobe doors couldn’t be opened, and the passages were very crowded, which was very awkward.

2. It is impossible to arrange the layout. For example, if you put a 1.8-meter bed in a bedroom of 7 or 8 square meters, you will find that the entire bedroom is completely occupied by the bed. Other furniture, such as cabinets and tables, cannot be arranged.



2. Limited layout

When we buy a bed, we must consider the layout of the bedroom.

The layout of a traditional bedroom generally includes a bed, bedside tables, a wardrobe, and some also have bookcases and desks.

So, when we decorate, we may want to arrange all of these in one bedroom.

However, if we buy a 1.8-meter bed, it may limit its layout.

Even though it's only a difference of 30 centimeters, it is still very difficult to squeeze out 30 centimeters.



Therefore, the following problems may exist in the layout:

1. The bedside table cannot be opened.This is a typical situation. After putting in a 1.8-meter bed, I found that there was no room for the bedside table.

2. Unable to arrange the wardrobe reasonably.Because the wardrobe is usually placed on the side of the bed, but the bed is too wide, it makes it difficult to set up and layout our wardrobe.



3. High cost

When we buy a bed, we usually consider the cost.

The so-called cost situation refers to the price of the bed.

However, the price difference between beds of different sizes is quite large.

For example, for beds with the same slatted frame, the headboard cushions and bed frames are exactly the same.

However, if there is a difference in size, the price difference is also very large.



Regarding this point, I specifically consulted the store and came to the following conclusion:

1. The price of a 1.8-meter slatted bed is basically around 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. Of course, this refers to some brands of beds with leather headboards.

2. The price of a 1.5-meter bed with ribs is about 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. Overall, it is more than 1,000 yuan cheaper than a 1.8-meter bed.



4. There is a big distance between husband and wife

In fact, when it comes to beds, everyone will find another problem, which is that it will affect the distance between couples.

Many friends may not have considered this, but in fact the impact is quite large.

Because the 1.5-meter bed or 1.8-meter bed we are talking about are basically double beds.

A double bed is generally used by a couple to rest.



So in this regard, if you compare a 1.5-meter bed with a 1.8-meter bed, you will find the following problems:

1. A 1.8-meter bed will increase the distance between couples. Even if you lie on it, you will find that there is still a distance between you. In fact, over time, it will affect the relationship.

2. A 1.5-meter bed will make the distance closer. I don’t know if you have ever tried it. Two people lying on a 1.5-meter bed are basically close to each other, with little distance between them.



How to determine the size of the bed?

When it comes to beds, bigger is not better, nor is smaller is better. The best size is the right one.

Even if two people are lying in a double bed, it still has something to do with each person's height, weight and body shape.

Therefore, what kind of bed we buy should be selected based on our own conditions.

Regarding the size of the bed, I personally recommend that you choose according to the following method.



1. Choose according to the bedroom area

When buying a bed, we must first determine the size of the bed based on the area of ​​our bedroom.

Because when we buy a bed, we put it in the bedroom. When placed in the bedroom, it must be suitable and beautiful.

Therefore, we need to confirm the area of ​​the bedroom, which in fact, to put it simply, is to confirm the length and width of the bedroom.

It would be more reasonable to buy a bed of the corresponding size only after confirming the specific size of the bedroom.



In fact, for this point, I can give the following selection suggestions, you can refer to them:

1. For bedrooms under 10 square meters, my personal opinion is to choose a 1.5-meter bed as much as possible, because the size of this type of bedroom is relatively compact.

2. For rooms larger than 10 square meters, such as 12 square meters or 15 square meters, a 1.8-meter bed can be considered. Because the bedroom is relatively large, a 1.8-meter bed is completely acceptable.



2. Choose according to bedroom layout

The second thing to consider when deciding what size bed to buy for the bedroom is the layout of the bedroom.

Therefore, here we are required to design the bedroom layout in advance before decoration.

The first thing to do here is to measure the specific dimensions of the bedroom, and then design the size of the furniture in each position.

For the bedroom, you need to design the position and size of the wardrobe, the position and size of the bedside table and desk, the position and size of the bed, the size of the bedside table, etc.



After designing these dimensions, you can arrange them as follows:

1. If the designed size is relatively spacious, for example, if the size of the bed we design reaches 2 meters and the bedside table is also taken into consideration, then we can choose a 1.8-meter bed.

2. If the designed layout size is relatively compact, for example, only 1.8 meters, then it is recommended that you choose a 1.5-meter bed, which will be more spacious.



As for the size of the bed, it is not possible to generalize. You should choose it according to the specific area and layout of your bedroom.

Although more and more people are choosing 1.5-meter beds, a big reason is that bedrooms are getting smaller. So, don't blindly follow the trend, but choose according to your own conditions.
