The best single beds for sleeping in absolute comfort and elegance

Sleeping in a comfortable bed is essential to face the day in the best possible way, with a certain grit and positivity.

The bed, precisely because of the function it has to fulfil, is the star piece of furniture in the bedrooms of adults and children. On the bed one spends about a third of one’s life, and on the bed children will rest during the crucial years of their growth leading to body development. Consequently, resting on an uncomfortable bed could lead in the long run to problems with posture, the skeletal system and more.

In a children’s room, it is possible to opt for different types of beds, from single beds to queen size beds, from single storage beds to beds with chests of drawers, from rollaway beds to bunk beds. And again from the wooden bed to the upholstered one, from the design model to the types without a headboard, and so on.

The choice depends on the layout of the room, the surface area available, the number of beds needed in the room, the furnishing style, but also the functionality that the different models offer.

The standard measurements of a single bed to sleep comfortably

The height of the bed in relation to the floor depends on the model. Indicatively, however, it must be such that it allows a comfortable seat with the legs bent so that they form a right angle of 90 degrees.

A single bed is defined by the size of the mattress. In order to be able to rest and sleep comfortably on a single bed, the furniture must meet the minimum standard measurements, i.e:

• standard single bed measurements cm 80 x cm 190 / 200 / 210;
• measures largest single bed 90 cm x 190 / 200 / 210 cm;
• measures single bed large cm 100 x cm 190 / 200 / 210.

In addition, the minimum height of the mattress must be at least 18 cm and up to approx. 28-30 cm to ensure optimal body support and restorative sleep.
