Which material is better to choose?
Most often the following materials are used in manufacturing:
- MDF.
- Chipboard.
- Plastic.
- Tree.
- Metal.
Impeccable quality, environmental friendliness and beauty are distinguished by wooden beds that last for a long time. Constructions made from cheaper chipboard and MDF materials, despite their low price category, have a very attractive appearance. Metal products are reliable and stable and do not lose their original appearance over the years. Models made of plastic have a huge color palette and imitation of any texture. There are also combined beds that combine several materials at once.
Base
First of all, it is necessary to decide on the base of the bed, which, although hidden from the eyes of users, is responsible for the durability and reliability of the structure. A photo of a double bed does not always convey a realistic picture, so it is advisable to look at the chosen option in person before purchasing.
The selection of the frame is based on the following characteristics:
- size suitable for the mattress;
- materials used for production;
- appearance.
The number of flexible jumpers deserves special attention: the wider the dimensions of the bed, the more there should be. On sale you can find options with special springs or grilles, but such models are inferior when comparing orthopedic properties.
Most often there is nothing under the base of the bed; this option is convenient when carrying out wet cleaning. But to save space, a frame with drawers where you can store bedding is suitable.

Interesting corner designs with a couple of additional sides not only make the design of the room cozier and more comfortable, but also allow for more efficient use of the available space.
Mattress
When choosing a mattress, it is difficult to definitively answer which option to choose - a lot depends on personal preferences. Some people like soft ones, but for others, healthy sleep is impossible without a hard mattress. However, when choosing the level of hardness, you should remember that soft mattress models have additional weight restrictions.
Feel free to lie on the mattress before purchasing. This will allow you to understand whether you made the right choice, and if you don’t like something, you can always choose another model without leaving the store.
Original ideas for beds in the interior
With the help of unusual products, the overall stylistic composition of the room becomes more complete, and the design becomes more original and unique. For example, it could be a bed placed under the ceiling, which not only transforms the atmosphere, but also gives an unusual feeling.

Tips for choosing
If you don’t know how to choose a double bed that suits your needs, try paying attention to the following nuances:
- a bed and mattress often cost less if you buy them in one set, but you shouldn’t skimp on quality. It is better to purchase a high-quality mattress separately or choose only comfortable orthopedic models;
- if the bedroom is not large in size, but you want to sleep comfortably, a transforming double bed will help optimize the space;
- not only the width and length of the bed play a role when choosing a bed, but also the height. If young couples can purchase low models for themselves, then for older couples it is better to opt for high options;
- To get up fresh and rested in the morning, you need to sleep on a comfortable bed. Therefore, you should not save on such an important purchase.
