Benefits and features
Furniture made from natural materials always remains in trend and is widely used in the arrangement of premises. A wooden single bed is a great solution for a bedroom in a classic, modern or country style. Thanks to the versatility of raw materials, it is possible to implement any design solutions, combining traditions and modern trends. Wood products are present in the collections of many brands, and are bought by consumers around the world.
What are the differences between the models:
- Environmental friendliness and safety... Furniture made of solid wood does not emit harmful substances into the atmosphere. The beds can be recycled after use, in addition, the wood is capable of decomposing in its natural environment.
- Strength... The beds are resistant to mechanical shock, withstand heavy loads and are suitable for overweight people. Due to their resistance to wear, they have a long service life.
- Diverse design... The brands offer both minimalistic and carved models. The collections contain furniture of different shades, complemented by all kinds of decorative elements. You can find beds with a four-poster or made in several shades, which simplifies the selection of products for specific interiors.
- Comfort... It is comfortable to sleep on the beds, while the back is in a natural position. To improve the effect, you can purchase an orthopedic mattress and anatomical pillow.
- Compactness... Single-bed models are small in size, they fit in tight spaces. Many beds have a fold-out design for easy transport.
Since wood is a readily available raw material, single beds can be made by yourself. Novice craftsmen should rely on existing schemes and models, which are modernized depending on the author's idea. An important factor is that the work will require a standard set of tools and fasteners, and the assembly of parts will take little time.
Materials (edit)
For the manufacture of beds, they take both arrays of different types of trees, and plywood, chipboard and MDF. Also, manufacturers can combine several materials at the same time. The combination of several types of wood will give the furniture uniqueness and increase the scope of its use. The final price of the products depends on the raw materials used. Most often, producers use the following breeds:
- Oak... This hard rock has a high level of strength and will last for more than one year. The material can be used in conditions of high humidity, it is almost not subject to mechanical stress, therefore there will be no scratches on it.It has a neutral color combined with light pastel shades.
- Birch... Reliability is a distinctive feature of beds made of this material. The wood has a light color, looks advantageous with black and dark brown interior items. The raw material is resistant to the appearance of fungi and bacteria, has a unique pattern.
- Pine... One of the most popular materials. Beds made of solid pine have moisture-repellent properties and are easy to process with paints and varnishes. The material is pliable, it is easy to work with it, getting non-standard decorative elements.
- Ash... A valuable species of wood used for the manufacture of luxury furniture. The natural texture of the wood is preserved after the application of oil compositions and varnish. The material is suitable for artificial aging, withstands carving.
- Beech... Has high density and wear resistance. When using beech, a beautiful cut pattern is obtained, which allows you to experiment with textures. The noble material is used for the manufacture of furniture in the classic style, characterized by durability.

Design
Wood is versatile and easy to work with. Thanks to this, it is possible to make furniture from wood in any style. Classic interiors require solid wood beds, decorated with carvings, patterns and smooth lines. For modern bedrooms, brands offer models with a minimum of decor; as a rule, such products are dyed to obtain non-standard shades. A bedroom in Provence or country style is unthinkable without wooden furniture: products for such interiors are made in natural shades and often have an antiquity effect.
When arranging a bedroom, you can choose a bed for existing interior items or act in the reverse order, taking specific furniture as a basis.
Its design has been correlated with the wall decoration, flooring, color and texture of curtains and carpets. The natural color of wood can be easily combined with other tones, however, there should not be too many shades used: in this case, the space will be oversaturated. In the collections of mass brands, the same model is presented in different shades, named after the type of wood used.
Selection Tips
When buying furniture, attention is paid to the joints of the parts, since the strength and durability of the frame depends on this. High-quality products undergo additional processing and have a smooth surface. In addition, it is important that the furniture meets the real needs of the buyer. It should fit into the interior of the room both stylistically and in size. Based on the above, the criteria for choosing wooden beds are distinguished.
- Dimensions (edit)... The standard sizes of single beds are 90x190 cm and 90x200 cm, which is enough to comfortably accommodate one person. Variations in the length of the products are taken into account when there is limited free space in the room: in this case, every few centimeters will be important. Brands may offer custom-made furniture, which allows for custom-sized beds.
- Frame material... The service life and characteristics of the furniture depend on the raw materials used. Chipboard beds are cheap, however, they will not work in classic bedrooms and will have a short lifespan.Elite types of wood are a long-term investment, however, they are not affordable for everyone, so when buying furniture for an ordinary apartment, it is enough to get by with products made of middle-class wood. Brands can combine wood with other materials such as metal or plastic.
- Mattress type... It can either come with the bed or be sold separately. In the presence of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, it is recommended to give preference to orthopedic models that repeat the curves of the body and provide the most natural position of the spine. During sleep, the muscles will be relaxed as much as possible, blood circulation will improve, so the person will sleep more soundly and completely forget about the feeling of weakness in the morning.
- Design... In stores, you can find both regular beds and those complemented by built-in drawers for storing bedding and seasonal items. This option will be especially convenient for narrow elongated bedrooms. Manufacturers offer beds with legs, models based on backrests or a platform. Models differ in the shape and size of the headboard, the height of the bed.
Pay attention to the manufacturer as well. European furniture is traditionally considered to be of the highest quality.
- Italian masters produce premium products that are distinguished by a long service life and improved external characteristics.
- Products from Finland gained popularity due to its practicality and functionality.
- Chinese factories create cheap, but low-quality furniture, often copy models from Western brands.
- In the collections of domestic companies you can find products for a wide consumer segment.
