What to choose a sofa or bed in the bedroom
The market offers a wide range of beds and sofas in the bedroom. Let's figure out how to make the best choice.
Compare the pros and cons of two alternative acquisitions:
- the surface of the mattress is flat, without tubercles, has orthopedic properties. The sofa in the folding places has a hollow, which crushes, the
- bed is an order of magnitude more expensive,
- with time the legs of the sofa are deformed,
- beds are bulky, and folding analogs allow to save space in the room,
- with time the halves of the sofa take an uneven position relative to each other.
Usually the bedroom combines a workplace, a corner for a simulator or a reception hall. Therefore, a folding sofa is purchased.
The alternative is a bed - transformer. It is mounted and folded into the cabinet. In the assembled state, it is invisible. This is a convenient option for small rooms, but its design quickly wears out.
If space allows you to make free choice, it is better to buy a bed in the bedroom.
Choosing a bed frame for a bedroom
A good purchase for a bedroom will be a frame for a bed made of ecological material.
Wood is the most durable and health-giving material. But its derivatives are in great demand because of its low cost. Namely: chipboard, chipboard, MDF.They are obtained by gluing wood shavings and covering them with textures.
Basics of aluminum will serve for more than 15 - 20 years. Their disadvantage is the instability to moisture and corrosion.
When choosing a bed, an important indicator is its location relative to the floor. Eastern furniture is slightly elevated, European analogues rise to 45 - 50 cm, American look - to 80 - 90 cm. Making a purchase, remember that with age it becomes harder to climb from a low bed.
Choosing the base of the bed
The frame, base or lattice of the bed is the support for the mattress. It is fixed by special fasteners for the frame.
The wooden base quickly loses its elasticity and becomes wavy. Because there is no support between the two. Its advantage is the low price.
The plastic grille will last up to 15 years. Sometimes it is equipped with remote control of the position of the bed. Its price is high, and ventilation is bad.
The metal equivalent has a service life of up to 25 years. Its assembly requires a number of professional skills, and the cost is less than the previous two options.
How to choose the mattress for the bed
It is believed that even the best mattress should be changed every 10 years. During this time, he loses his orthopedic properties, gets dust and germs.
Mattresses are orthopedic and inflatable, feather and orthopedic. The latter are developed through research in the field of surgery. Their shape and properties support the human spine in a natural position. Thanks to the distribution of stiffness over the area of the mattress, improved blood circulation is provided.
An important characteristic of a mattress is its stiffness. At a weight of 60 to 100 kg, the average hardness is suitable. With a mass of over 100 kg, buy a hard analog. Its advantage is the possibility of use for seating. It does not fail at the edges.
For a couple with different weights, you need an appropriate mattress with different stiffness on two sides.
After you decide whether the springs are necessary in the design. Such mattresses have from 250 to 1000 springs per m² and are divided into 1 - 3 class respectively. The smaller their number, the better the product.
Springless analogs are made of a number of layers of special material. They do not have a rolling effect and do not transmit vibrational motion. In the indoor unit, less dust accumulates due to the absence of voids there. A mattress without springs does not have metal elements, therefore, does not create static energy. Which negatively affects a person's sleep.
In many European countries and in the US, the population prefers springless products.
Synthetic and natural materials are used for upholstering the mattress. Hypoallergenic upholstery is cotton and fleece. Two-way products are popular. Cotton upholstery is used in summer and spring, and in autumn and winter the mattress turns woolen side.
How to put a bed in a bedroom
A bedroom is a place where a person spends more than a quarter of his life. Therefore, it is important to correctly place furniture in it.
Feng Shui contains a number of tips on how to properly place a bed in the bedroom. In fact, this is a symbolic vision that has been tested by practice.
The first postulate says not to put the bed in front of the wall with the door. Because it is associated with the dead, who are carried forward with their feet.
If there is no other possibility, it is necessary to close the door at night, without letting the negative energy into the bedroom. It is better that it was in sight. From a psychological point of view, a person feels more protected. He is the master of the situation.
Another solution is to install a screen or shelving between the bed and the door. This item must be chosen above the bed level.
In the room, it is not advisable to place the mirrors opposite or above the bed. It returns the energy from which man was released during the day. A simple explanation is a warning of fright at a sudden awakening.
The bed should be placed away from the window. From it usually flows cold air. It is also necessary to prevent any drafts passing through the bedroom.
Eliminate large attachments above the sleeper. They will create a sense of danger and anxiety. The rule also applies to the arrangement of luminaires. They are better to hang on either side of the place of sleep.
Bed correctly place in the most unoccupied part of the room.
The sleeper should be placed away from the TV at a distance of 3 - 5 m, so that radiation does not adversely affect sleep. Or take TV out of the bedroom, as the transmissions load the human psyche before bed.

If there is no choice, then move the bed half a meter from the window. Get tight curtains and cover them at night.
Do not sleep face to sunlight. Glare adversely affect the quality of sleep. Optimal place the sleeping place sideways to the window.
There are differences of opinion, put the bed in a corner or in the middle of the room. The first option is fashionable and provides an approach from both sides. This alternative is suitable for couples.
The child's bed is best placed in a corner diagonally from the door. That will provide him with the greatest comfort and sense of security.
The bedroom should be decorated in pastel shades. This will make it cozy and spacious. For a large room more saturated colors are used. Vivid patterns will be appropriate for the nursery, since they are active and they need appropriate energy boosting.
In search of the second half, remove from the bedroom things that are reminiscent of the former partner and working vicissitudes.
It is not recommended to place the bed along the wall adjacent to the toilet by feng shui. As the negative energy emanating from there, negative energy interferes with rest. Or it is necessary to move the furniture away and lock off the curbstone.
The ideal bedroom should be rectangular, square, round or octagonal. And the last two options are rare.
Premises with an inclined or A-shaped ceiling is better not to use as a bedroom. Beams are hanging and morally pressing on a person's consciousness, and sharp angles have always been considered a herald of failures. If there is no choice, attach bamboo sticks to the ceiling as a mascot.
The room is desirable to have no more than one door. Otherwise, the bedroom will become a passageway, which adversely affects the energy of the family.
If there are two beds in the bedroom, do not put them in a chain. Headboard in someone else's legs is a sign of financial and professional failures.
Do not obstruct the space under the bed. Through it, positive energy will not circulate.
Specialists recommend placing the sockets at a distance of 1.5 m to a sleeping place.
