Ideal bed: what is the best bed height?

When it comes to buying a berth, we often think about its appearance, comfort and size of the mattress. But the height of the bed - this is the parameter that we often forget about, and in vain.

Standard bed height

There are three standard sizes ( bed height from floor):

  • Low (eastern standard) - 20-40 centimeters.
  • Medium (European standard) -50-60 centimeters.
  • High (American standard) - 80-100 centimeters.

The most convenient is the height of 62-64 centimeters from the floor. It is this size that allows a person of average height to easily sit down and get out of bed. This option is well suited for a teenager or an elderly person.

Room style and size

The height of the berth should directly depend on the interior of the bedroom, its style. After all, this is the most active and often central part of the room. In a classic design and a large spacious bedroom, a high, voluminous bed will look good - from 80 to 100 cm from the floor. This option is suitable for sophisticated natures, lovers of feather-beds and pillows, as well as those who do not mind to climb every evening to such a height. Although for convenience, manufacturers often offer to purchase an additional step or foot pouf.

In the bedroom, designed in a modern style, a high bed will look strange. It is better to choose models of the European standard (50-60 cm from the floor) or oriental (20-40 cm).

In the case of a more democratic style (modern or loft), the height of the bed can be determined by the needs of a particular person. After all, not everyone will like to sleep almost on the floor, although such options look very stylish and visually increase the size of the room.

Loft bed for adults

The bed is an indispensable piece of furniture. But what if the apartment is very small, one-room / studio, or is it necessary to combine the bedroom and living room together? Replacing a full-fledged bed with a folding sofa means ensuring a constant feeling of a mess in the apartment and reconciling with an uncomfortable mattress.

An ideal alternative is the unusual and stylish adult high loft bed. Such models are double and with one berth. They look very unusual, but do not suit people with fear of heights, retirees, and their use is extremely undesirable in an apartment with a small ceiling height. The height of the attic bed for adults is 180-190 cm.

Bed for baby

Choosing a baby bed is a particularly responsible matter. It is important to pay attention not only to design, but also to environmentally friendly material, the presence of comfortable sides and the quality of the mattress.

The correct height of the crib is first of all the safety and comfort of the child. When a bed with high sides changes to an ordinary nursery, the child takes a long time to get used to the new bedroom. He can forget and stand on his machine in the middle of the night. It is not at all difficult to fall out or cross the crossbar, because he is used to holding on to high and reliable limiters. Many children actively crawl in a dream, getting out at this moment from the crib to the floor and bumping is not difficult.

To protect the little man from possible injuries and fear, choose a bed for a child from 2-3 years old so that the height of the bed from the floor is no more than 30 centimeters. Remember that the lower the crib, the safer the child will climb and climb on it.

For two children

What if you have another baby and the rooms in the apartment are not enough? Putting two beds side by side means reducing the space for outdoor games or depriving one of the kids - remove one desktop. A good solution for large families is an attic bed. The oldest child is always placed on top, because he probably already learned to climb stairs well and not fall out of bed at night. Although for this case, on the upper berth always provide reliable high protective sides. After all, the height of the bunk bed is at least 160 centimeters.

For the youngest child allot a place in the lower tier. If the baby is still too small, you can put additional sides on the side and at the head. And some parents even come up with their own protective mechanism - they pull a net, a sheet or screw a wide chipboard panel and even figure out how to make a door. The height of the lower tier of the attic bed can vary from 20 to 50 centimeters. The younger the children and the lower the ceilings in the room, the more carefully you need to relate to the height of the bed.

For teenager

A teenager’s room is a bedroom, a drawing room where friends can be brought, and an office where a child does his homework or prepares for exams, and a playroom.

You can put a regular bed (30-60 cm in height) in the room, but it takes up a lot of space. A folding sofa takes away valuable time for cleaning in the mornings and evenings, and is also a source of excess dust in the room. Yes, and every parent wants the space of the room of the future adult to be divided into zones: a bedroom, a working area, a relaxation area, and ideally also a small sports corner. Indeed, such a division makes it easier to focus on specific tasks and accustoms to order in everything.

How to be Pay attention to the huge selection of beds under the ceiling. If a teenager likes this option of a berth, the height of the bed will make it possible to arrange a spacious work area under it, place a large and spacious wardrobe or even a whole dressing room, or put a small but cozy sofa for guests. An excellent choice for a teenager is a stylish and wear-resistant metal loft bed in a modern style.
