Ikea single beds

Thanks to the single beds, which are compact and do not take up much space, people can get enough sleep and rest comfortably even in a small room. Ikea single beds of various characteristics are sometimes made in a very laconic design, however, the functionality makes up for this disadvantage.

Products of the specified brand in the catalog are presented in numerous options, differing in many respects, such as:

• block fastening methods;
• main material;
• stylistics.

Despite this, all presented products are compact, comfortable and durable. All products are tested for load resistance. There is no need to fear that the legs will suddenly break off or the mounts will quickly loosen. Single beds from this manufacturer, if forged, can generally serve for many years and look unusually beautiful in any room. The introduction of similar items into the interior will help to emphasize their grace. At the same time, solid wood and particle board require much more complex maintenance.

Forged structures:

• They do not split and do not become covered with a network of cracks during active use.
• Not susceptible to insect attacks.
• Remain safe and sound even in homes where there are many pets.
• Do not suffer from high humidity.
• Perfectly environmentally friendly.

Single size - 0.7-0.9 meters, occasionally up to 1 meter in width. With a width of 1 to 1.6 meters, the bed is considered a one-and-a-half-bed and in extreme cases it can be used by two. Although it is usually assumed that this is a place for only one person, providing him with all the amenities.

It is necessary to pay attention to the bases (otherwise called frames). It largely depends on them:

• general convenience;
• cost of production;
• environmental friendliness;
• the degree of reliability and durability.

So, the frames on the slats are metal or made of wood; when gluing the slats, they strictly ensure that an equal distance is maintained. Distinguish between straight and curved frames, their advantage is affordable prices and ease of airing the inside. Not without drawbacks - beds with such a basis will not serve for a long time.

In the intervals between the elements of the rack bases, there is no support at all. This drawback is devoid of metal nets, which began to be used in bedroom furniture almost earlier than all other options. They serve for a long time, orthopedists value them highly, at a cost they are not much different from the previous scheme

However, due to excessive rigidity, you will have to forget about a comfortable sleep. Spring structures help to correct this drawback, however, they cost clearly more and do not allow the mattresses to be ventilated properly. In the case of a flat support, solid layers can be applied:

• Fiberboard;
• plywood;
• or even boards.

These systems should be purchased only for those who need an inexpensive wooden bed for a short period of time. The best choice for almost all possible cases is an orthopedic sleeper device. Of course, we will talk about the frame. Without understanding it, it is impossible to understand what the strength and service life of the entire product is, and this is due to both the design and the material. For the production of frames can be used:

• natural wood;
• wood massif;
• veneer;
• Fiberboard;
• Chipboard;
• MDF;
• Chipboard;
• some other types of lumber;
• metal (steel, mostly).

Wood cases are not only environmentally friendly, but also completely safe for health, serve for a long time and are distinguished by their reliability. There is no need to talk about their aesthetic appeal. Models made of beech, birch and pine are quite widespread. A more budgetary option with almost the same characteristics is a chipboard product.

Sleeping furniture made of iron alloys is very little in demand: it is heavy and "ringing", rusts relatively quickly, and is not very convenient to use. IKEA is an exception, as it uses exclusively high quality and stainless steel. Polyester powder coating is recognized by all experts as the safest.

Children's beds are perhaps more carefully selected than matched for adults; after all, a child, especially a small child, cannot always realize the problem or disadvantage himself. Adults should think about all this when they open the Ikea catalog or go through the positions on the site. Quality is too important here to deviate from it due to low prices.

For parents with different financial capabilities and depending on the wishes of the children themselves, there are a number of types of cots:

• transforming;
• complemented by linen drawers;
• "Attics".

In the first case, we have a modular system that can be easily disassembled into separate blocks: remove some, add others, rearrange the segments in places. As a result, the bed can last from almost birth to adulthood. Moreover, there are options on which two or three children can be laid at the same time!

Transformers differ from each other in the degree of sophistication of the device. The higher it is, the more degrees of freedom the owners have, however, the price rises with them. It is also important to understand that as complexity increases, the risk of failure of connections and moving parts also rises.

Linen drawers increase the practicality of the bed, and at the same time reduce dustiness in the room. And saving money for the purchase of a chest of drawers or a wardrobe cannot but please every zealous person.

"Attic" children's beds cause a storm of positive emotions for both children and adolescents. For their parents, the first place is the preservation of space in the rooms of small apartments and some private houses!

Shelves for placing clothes and small things will also appeal to all households. It is impossible to call a solid structure of this kind an ordinary berth, since it is always supplemented by a table. And there are generally chic sets, which, rather, evoke associations with a palace, and not with an object or even a set of furniture.

Choosing a complementary mattress for a single bed is just as important as finding it. In the Ikea line, there are single beds with two different options, and there are also frames (for example, "Todalen"), which require the purchase of mattresses separately. Therefore, it is also impossible to pass by the criteria for their selection.

The packing should be chosen as carefully as possible so that it is neither too hard nor too soft. For example, the Bonnel block mattress is simple and inexpensive. However, there are also disadvantages:

• suitable exclusively for those who do not need an orthopedically comfortable bed;
• there is no need to wait for an anatomical effect;
• the product is more likely for a short daytime sleep, and after a night spent on such a bed, it is no wonder you feel worse.

Polyurethane foam mattress fillings are economically beneficial and pleasant for the body, only they will have to be changed often. Structofiber It has an excellent orthopedic characteristic, its fibers are vertical, and in the aggregate this gives the elasticity of the surface.

Latex has the same parameters, but it has two undoubted advantages: zero allergy and water resistance. So accidentally spilling a cup of coffee is by no means a reason to throw these mattresses away. Excipients coconut fiber should be preferred if the combination of ventilation and moisture resistance is in the first place for you.

The 90x200 cm bed can be covered with a mattress with autonomous spring segments or without springs at all. The first type is carefully thought out by the designers, all springs are distributed in their compartments, there is no creak. At the same time, a high anatomicality is invariably guaranteed. There is only one problem - excessively high prices.

Springless products are most often made on the basis of two or more materials: one is the basis, and the other allows you to adjust the rigidity to the desired level. Of course, mattresses for Ikea single beds should be selected strictly in size. And the larger the dimensions, the higher the fee charged for the goods will be.

Model "Malm " can be of different design - oak or ash veneer, chipboard / fiberboard. Beech or birch veneer is used as the base material. The design has been thought out in such a way as to ensure the highest load adaptability and optimal firmness of the mattresses. Unlike many other options, over time, the product will only improve its appearance.

"Hemnes" more in demand, which is not surprising, due to its greater availability. The dimensions of the mattress installed in it are just 90x200 cm - quite enough for the vast majority of adults. Brimnes has a couple of utility boxes and opportunities for extensive transformation. Today it is just a bed, tomorrow a sofa, and, if necessary, it can become a box for linen in general, which does not externally remind of its functions.

Malm - it is, rather, a couch, also supplemented by pull-out storage compartments. The advantage of adjustable side bolsters is that owners can use whatever thickness they want.

Genuine help (in the form of a model "Ducker") a Swedish corporation provides those who are forced to move frequently. Beds, even designed for one person, cannot but present a serious inconvenience. The stackable design is designed to make climbing and descending stairs as easy as possible.

Moreover, in this version, the border between single and double versions is practically erased; the bottom of the structure is made of slats, the permissible thickness of the mattresses is 13 centimeters. Engineers have made sure that the product is as stable as possible in any situation. Models "Todalen" and Fielse, Malm and "Hemnes", as well as others deserve, in fact, a separate discussion.

Just like wireframes "Tarva", "Firesdal", Flecke and others like that. This means that the decisive step in choosing a suitable model for yourself must be done directly upon purchase. We hope this article will help you avoid pitfalls and get an Ikea single bed that perfectly matches your wishes.

We recommend that you focus on pieces of furniture that are acceptable for your room. We wish you happy shopping!
