Modern manufacturers produce many kinds of beds for every taste, color and size. Depending on the dimensions, you can purchase one of three varieties. It can be a single bed, a single bed or a double bed. If everything is clear with the last two options, their names speak for themselves, then with the first model, everything is not so simple. For how many people is a one-and-a-half berth designed and why did it get such a name?
In fact, this bed is a compromise between a double bed and a single bed. And you can relax on it both alone and in the company of a loved one. Therefore, a single bed with a mattress is considered the most versatile option for organizing a bed. This furniture received its intermediate position due to the average size. In length, it is no different from other models, but its width canvary from 90 to 200 centimeters. Moreover, for different manufacturers, a one-and-a-half bed can have very different sizes. Some believe that 120 centimeters is enough for comfortable accommodation, while others believe that even 1.5 meters will not be enough.
In order for a semi-double bed to best fit into the interior of your room, you need to choose it in accordance with the layout and size of the room. Going shopping, it is better to measure the area of the room in advance.
A one and a half bed consists of a base and a frame made of a variety of materials: metal, wood or chipboard. Furniture with a wooden frame is considered the most reliable and comfortable, but such models are not cheap. A more affordable and no less durable option is a metal frame. It is made of high quality material, which is resistant to mechanical damage, is not afraid of moisture and is very environmentally friendly. The only drawback of such furniture is the fact that metal is a cold material. Despite the fact that a single bed with such a frame looks very nice and modern, metal structures can cause discomfort for its owners. After all, few people like to lean on a hard and always cold back while relaxing.
The most budgetary, and therefore very popular option among consumers, is a one-and-a-half bed made of chipboard. However, when choosing this model, it is worth considering its disadvantages. The fact is thatparticle boards are a short-lived material, over time it can roll down, and if moisture gets in, it can deform.
The base of the bed is a lattice on which a mesh or special armor is fixed. When buying furniture, it is better to give preference to the second option. Armor is a flexible transverse plank made of plastic or wood. Such models are much more convenient than mesh bases, as they are able to provide an orthopedic effect, which is very important for he alth. When buying, it is important to pay attention to the flexibility of these elements.
Depending on the model, a single bed can be equipped with a folding mechanism or special drawers at the base. They can serve as a place to store bedding, which is very convenient when using this furniture in small spaces.
