Stuck for space? Make the right bed choice
11/01/2012
Let's face it, not all of us live in spacious surroundings, leaving us wondering exactly how to make the most of what room we do have. Thankfully for us, there are all sorts of space saving solutions on the market that can make our pads feel more like homes than cardboard boxes.
One great invention is the sofa bed, which acts as a comfy place to sit during the day, before being transformed into an ideal sleeping space at night. This could be the perfect solution if you're short of a guest bedroom, but intend on inviting friends and family to stay once in a while.
Always hoping to help its customers find new and improved solutions, Silentnight has devised a concept that could be perfect if you're stuck for room. The Bed Sofa is available in two models, each of which features a choice of two Silentnight mattresses.
The Deluxe version features Posturezone Miratex foam, which prevents rolling during the night and helps the body stay in the right position. The Luxury mattress, on the other hand, uses Miratex foam and a layer of memory foam, again, offering both comfort and support.
One of the problems you might have encountered with traditional sofa beds is that they don't complement your existing decor. If you've put a lot of effort into making sure your home is a place to be proud of, then don't spoil it with an unsightly sofa bed.
The Bed Sofa from Silentnight is available in a number of fabrics and colours to ensure it fits in to existing surroundings, leaving visitors unaware that it can fold out into a bed.
It is, of course, not only your visitors who will need space during their stay. Some master bedrooms in modern houses are less-than-desirable in terms of the room they offer, but this can be tackled with the aid of the right product.
Storage beds are a great choice, as they offer the comfort and support of ordinary models, but with features such as under-bed drawers. So, if you've got lots of knick-knacks that could do with being tidied away, these could be the perfect option.
Raised beds are a popular choice in many of your homes, and can easily be used to conceal some of the clutter you'll have accumulated over the years. Under-bed storage drawers are a great way of keeping items out of sight, as well as ensuring they can easily be accessed.
The key when choosing a bed is to make sure that it is suitable for the bedroom it is being put in; there's no point buying a king-size bed for a space that is far too small. Getting the proportions right will make a room seem bigger, as well as allowing other furniture to be bought.
