Try before you buy It’s essential that you always try a bed before buying it. We’re all different and one bed isn’t made for everybody.
People’s requirements for support will differ depending on their weight and build, so you need to be really comfortable with your decision.
Choose a bed together If you’re going to be sharing a bed, then you need to choose it with your partner. That way you can both lie on it and make sure it’s big enough and comfy enough.
Think about your bedroom Overall bedroom size should always be taken into account. If the bedroom is too small, a massive bed won’t be for you.
To relax properly, you need to have a reasonable space around your bed.
Storage space If you don’t have room for a big wardrobe, or you don’t know where to put your spare sheets then consider a storage bed. They’ll give you plenty of extra space.
The bigger the better? If you have a big or reasonablesized bedroom and your partner is always taking up all the space in the bed, then consider investing in a king bed or super king bed.
If you want even more room and comfort, then opt for an emperor bed.
Sleeping by yourself Even if you sleep on your own, that doesn’t mean that you should buy yourself a single bed. Some sleepers need, or like, a lot of space to feel comfortable in, so consider investing in a double bed.
Be comfortable Spring and slat beds are the best choices for back support.
And always remember, a good bed should respect the size, shape and specific needs of the sleeper. If, for instance, your back often troubles you when you are lying down, then choose an adjustable bed and sleep in a position that is comfortable.
Perfect partners Never buy a bed without at least thinking about the mattress.
Spring mattresses are ideal for spring beds, while slat beds are more likely to be teamed up with foam mattresses.
Where possible, you should buy a new bed and a new mattress at the same time, because a new mattress on an old bed won’t last as long as it would on a new one.
You get what you pay for The best bed for you isn’t always the most expensive one, but it’s probably not the cheapest one either.
A cheap bed might look okay, but it won’t give you the support you need for a good night’s sleep.
Be aware that a lower price might also reduce your comfort.
It’s a good idea to look at product reviews online before buying, so you can see what other people think of the one you like.
