When people have neck, shoulder or backache or don’t sleep well they often decide to do something about it. They may ask some fitness questions or consider buying a new bed frame. When it comes to the latter, it’s not as easy as you think because there is such a wide choice available. Every supplier is bound to say their beds are the best, and they all have different pros and cons.
If you are in this position right now and need some extra help, read on because this article will help you find the perfect bed frame for your needs.
Do Some Online Research
There are many websites and blogs that list all the items you might be looking for. Be sure to check several websites so you can compare the different options and prices before deciding on one. You should find out how much time it will take to deliver the product, what type of payment is accepted, and the company’s return/refund policies in case something goes wrong.
Company websites provide lots of product information to help you make an informed choice. If you want a bed base you can learn about premium upholstered modern bed frames that have a soft and cozy finish. Whether you’re looking for photos, prices, measurements or squeak-free construction, you can find it online.
Try Price Comparison Websites
Essentially, they are online marketplaces that allow different merchants to list their products next to each other so that the prices can be easily compared. This means that buyers don’t need to:
- visit lots of websites
- spend time getting quotes from individual retailers
- call around different shops to find the best deals
In effect, the work has already been done for people and all they need to do is view the search results. Another key benefit is that price comparison sites provide some great buying advice too. This often means that users can see reviews or ratings on a product before they decide. This can be extremely useful if you are looking for a new bed frame and want to know how it has stood up over time, or are wondering about the price of replacement parts if they break.
Understand The Different Options
The styles of bed frames vary, depending on what you’re looking for, including wooden and metal bed frames. You can also buy more creative designs like convertible beds that turn into sofas, or murphy beds that fold down out of sight when not in use. The style you choose will depend on your personal taste and where it is going to be used (e.g. a guest room or adult bedroom).
If at all possible go and see some actual models rather than just browsing online. You’ll want to test out the various bed frames to ensure they are sturdy and comfortable.
Recognize Your Specific Needs
A bed frame height is an important factor to consider before buying. The ideal height will allow you to sit up in bed without feeling like it’s too low and it will also allow for storage space underneath where necessary. The weight capacity should be considered by anyone who has any concerns about their own weight or who might need extra support from their bed frame.
People who are light sleepers may want to think about the bed frame material so they can avoid having any squeaking at night. A wooden bed frame with slats is often recommended since it won’t make as much noise when the user gets in and out of bed. However, if you do tend to be a bit heavier or your weight fluctuates during different seasons, you could consider buying an upholstered bed frame. This is because the fabric provides extra reinforcement from additional strain.
Think About Size
You can buy beds in a number of different sizes, including single, double, queen and king. If you are sharing the bed with another person, a queen or double size will probably be fine. If you like to stretch out or are restless at night, the bigger the frame the better. This way you will be less likely to disturb your partner. It’s also possible to buy mattresses that will minimize the movement so that your significant other can sleep in peace.
It’s important to think about your room size as well. If your room is small, you don’t want to buy a bed that will take up the entire space and make it feel even smaller. Think about your floor plan and measure your bedroom before going shopping for a new frame. Allow one meter at each side of your bed so you can easily move around the room once it’s in place.
Think About Assembly
Before making a purchase you need to be confident that you (or a household member or friend) have sufficient ability to assemble the bed frame. There’s nothing worse than spending lots of money and having no clue how this thing needs to be put together, using all the parts and pieces that were included.
If you decide to take on this task but do it badly the frame could be unnecessarily rickety or even collapse.
Decide On A Budget
Before you begin shopping, you should consider how much money you have to work with. If the price is too high, look elsewhere and if it’s too low, pass on the item because it may be poor in quality. Try to work within the budget while still getting an attractive piece of furniture. It may take you some time but it will hopefully be possible.
Fortunately, there may be some extra ways to get more for your money. Try going online when there are flash sales, New Year sales or Black Friday deals.
Rather than being an annoying drain on your time and finances, this is your opportunity to buy the perfect bed. Considering we spend a third of our lives asleep, this could be an investment into your health and general wellbeing that you will benefit from for many years to come.
