Choosing The Correct Size Bed

• When it comes to quality of sleep and the style of your bedroom, bed size can make a real difference. Comfort should be your priority. With plenty of space to stretch out, roll around and starfish in total comfort. If you’re buying a young child’s bed, remember they’ll need room to grow.

• In terms of style, the wrong size can impact on the design of a room. Too big and the room can feel overcrowded. Too small and the bed will look out of place. It needs to be just right.

Is It The Correct Size For Your Room ?

• No one wants the headache of a bed that either won’t fit or won’t work in the space. So before you buy, follow these points...

Check The Headboard Height

• If the bed is going under eaves, a high headboard may restrict how far back the bed can go against the wall.

Check The Access

• This is probably the most important thing to check. Will the items you want fit up the stairs and around balustrades and banisters? While most beds are self-assembly, some headboards are extremely large. It’s always better to double check than have the hassle of an item that won’t fit.

Check The Size of Your Room

• Remember to allow for things like skirting boards and door frames when planning how you want to set up the room. It’s also important to factor in where the rest of your bedroom furniture will go and to make sure you have sufficient room to be able to access drawers and cupboards.

Check Where The Sockets Are

• It's worth seeing if plug sockets will be in the right place for things like bedside lamps, alarm clocks and phone chargers.
