When it comes to your bedroom, no matter how big or small it is, your bed is the most important thing in there. This might seem obvious to some, it may not to others. After all, isn’t your dressing table important? Your decor? Those things are important too, but your bed tops everything. Here’s why:
Your Bed Is A Huge Focal Point
Your bed is a huge focal point. In fact, it’s probably the focal point in your room. The only one. Whether you have a tiny bedroom or something more substantial, your bed is going to draw the eye right away. It’s also going to be the biggest thing in the room. This makes selecting a bed that looks good really important. It’s up to you whether you go for something really fancy, something plain but noticeable, or upcycle a bed frame yourself. You can easily create the look of a more luxurious bed frame by watching a few tutorials online and getting the DIY essentials together. Using stick on items, spray paint, regular paints, and other things you can make your bed look incredible.
It Takes Up The Most Space
Your bed takes up the most space in your bedroom. Whether you have a regular double or a king size bed, chances are, it’s the largest thing in your room. This automatically makes it the most important feature. If you’re trying to figure out what size bed you need in a room, make sure you get your measurements right. It’ll depend on how big you think you want your bed to be, as well as how much floor space you’d like in the room. Bear in mind that you don’t need loads of floor space for your bedroom to remain practical.
You Use It Every Night
Chances are, you use your bed every night. Or day, depending on what sort of days you work. This means you need something that not only looks great and is the right size, but suits your needs. Some people need a soft mattress, while others need a harder mattress. You want to make sure your mattress and pillows offer the right amount of support for you. By taking a look at the brands out there, such as Hypnos beds, you can get an idea of what’s available. It’s possible to order a bed offline, but you might want to see if you can test it out in store first. Bear in mind, as your bed is going to be getting so much use, you want to make sure it stands the test of time. It’s expensive to replace your bed!
It Helps You Get A Good Night’s Rest
If you select the right bed, it’s going to help you get a good night’s rest. The quality of sleep we get is the most important thing, not just the quantity of sleep. When you take the time to read reviews and check out the different beds available, you’ll ensure you can function properly during the day. If you’re not getting quality sleep, you won’t perform as well as you can. Your bed can have an impact on your mood, the way you look and feel, and so much more.
It Can Change The ‘Feng Shui’ Of A Room
Maybe you love the concept of feng shui, maybe you don’t. You can’t argue with the fact that it’s a practice that has been around for centuries, and can make the room look better if nothing else. The idea of feng shui is that energy flows through your home better, helped by the way you place certain items and furniture. For instance, your bed should always be in the ‘command’ position. This is where it’s in a position that faces the door, so you can see who is entering the room. You don’t want to have mirrors facing your bed either. This is classed as bad feng shui and is thought to interrupt sleep.
Now you see why your bed is the most important thing in the bedroom, you can make changes accordingly. You may not need to purchase a new bed. You may simply need to move it around a little, or get a mattress cover to give you more comfort. If you’ve been waking up in the morning feeling grumpy and groggy, the wrong type of bed or even the position of your bed could be the reason. Try switching things up, and don’t forget to make your bed look even more inviting with lots of cushions and throws. Come back soon!
