Get the Right Size of Bed For Your Bedroom

One of the determining factors that affect the quality of your sleep is the size of the bed. It is important that one gets a bed that is good and large enough for them and for their partner (if they are a couple).

Some basic information on bed sizes is provided below:

- Singles: They can also be referred to as bunk or twin beds. There are common is children's rooms, dorm rooms and guestrooms. The ideal measurement for this bed is 39 inches wide by 75 inches long, making them ideal for small bedrooms.

One of the great things about this bed is that finding sheets that cover them properly is not a hard task are the sheets for this bed are mostly available and affordable. These beds are usually fitted with trundle beds that can be pulled out if there is a guest who wants to sleep over.

One disadvantage about this bed is that they don't accommodate adults very well. If one would want a sing bed and they fell that it is too short, they can opt for a longer single bed, but getting sheets for the same would be a bit of a challenge.

- Doubles: This kind of bed is good for couples who would like to cuddle and snuggle close to each other as they enjoy their sleep. It is also good for one who would want to sleep alone and usually rolls over from one side of the bed to the other so as to enjoy their sleep. It is also known as a full bed and measures 54 inches by 75 inches.

Though this type of bed can be ideal for a small master bedroom, it may bring about problems for those who are tall and would need a longer bed. It may also bring issues for people who are not used to sleeping with each other on the same bed.

-Queens: This one has a standard size of 60 inches by 80 inches. A couple can comfortably sleep side-by-side to each other without bringing about issues. It is a nice fit in smaller master bedrooms and guestrooms.

Even with its large size, there are some people who will find the bed narrower and shorter as regards their needs. If this is so, then such people can go for the Olympic Queen size bed that best accommodates them.

- Kings: This one comes in 2 types: eastern king/standard king and western king/Californian king.

Eastern king: It measures 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. It is the biggest and widest bed available. It is best suited for big bedrooms.

Californian king: It measures 72 inches by 84 inches. It is narrower than the eastern king, but the deductions in width are the addition in length.

With this information, you can get the right bed size for yourself.
