17 Stunning Modern Bedding Sets for Your Bedroom

Which material is better to choose?

Most often the following materials are used in manufacturing:

• MDF.
• Chipboard.
• Plastic.
• Tree.
• Metal.

Impeccable quality, environmental friendliness and beauty are distinguished by wooden beds that last for a long time. Constructions made from cheaper chipboard and MDF materials, despite their low price category, have a very attractive appearance. Metal products are reliable and stable and do not lose their original appearance over the years. Models made of plastic have a huge color palette and imitation of any texture. There are also combined beds that combine several materials at once.

Materials depending on price category

Different materials are used to make beds. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Products differ in cost, service life, and appearance.

Interior beds made of solid wood surprise with their variety of designs. They look expensive and solid. Such products are durable, environmentally friendly, and characterized by high strength. Noble types of wood are used in production, such as oak, birch, beech, and mahogany. Each breed has its own unique pattern, shade and aroma. A bed made of solid wood will not creak or become loose even under high loads. Carving, decoupage, rhinestones, and artificial aging are often used for decoration. Such beds are considered elite and are expensive. Among wooden furniture, designer furniture is most often found.

For lovers of natural materials who want to save money, beds are made from pine. It is softer than noble types of wood, but also looks rich and elegant. But it is worth remembering that an impact can cause unevenness on such a bed, so it should be handled with care. With careful use, pine furniture will last a long time. Due to their affordable price, such beds are in high demand.

Wood panels are used in the production of economy class furniture. They successfully replace the array, although they differ in a number of disadvantages.

1. Chipboard is natural wood shavings pressed with glue. Furniture made of this material, when exposed to heat or moisture, begins to release harmful substances into the atmosphere, which is unsafe for health. But products made from this raw material are distinguished by a wide variety, they are easy to care for, and are equal in strength to pine.
2. Laminated chipboard is a wood board covered with veneer, plastic or laminated film. The surface repeats the pattern of natural wood. The material is highly durable and is not susceptible to chips and scratches. The structure of the slab does not allow the manufacture of products with decoration. Usually these are smooth shapes and angles, without curves or patterns.
3. MDF is a material made from pressed small wood. The surface allows you to apply a pattern, imitate carvings and make rounded corners. Products made from MDF have good moisture resistance, can easily withstand high temperatures, and are not susceptible to the formation of mold and mildew.

Metal beds deserve special attention. Modern models have come a long way from their bulky ancestors with armored pressed mesh. Today these are stylish, comfortable products that have advantages even over beds made of natural wood. The metal has high strength and reliability. The beds are made from hollow tubes, so they are light in weight and the furniture is easy to transport. Such models are distinguished by a rich choice of finishes - forging, carving, various decorative elements. A metal bed always looks thin and elegant, and the middle price segment ensures high consumer demand for it.

Basic designs

The design options for beds are amazing. In addition to traditional models, furniture factories produce two-tier structures, transformers, and “attics.” The web pages of furniture stores present hundreds of pictures of beds of various modifications; before choosing, you should consider how they differ from each other and what to pay attention to first.

Traditional

A standard bed is always rectangular in shape. It consists of a frame with legs and two backs. There may be a storage box under the bed. The most noticeable and striking detail is the headboard. The appearance of the entire product will depend on its design. The back can be a simple rectangular shape without decoration, but it is often upholstered in expensive fabric with a soft backing and decorated with buttons. Depending on the style, the legs can also be decorated with carvings or other elements.

Bunk

Sleeping beds consisting of two tiers located on top of each other have gained popularity. The design helps save space. In addition, such furniture can be functional due to all kinds of sports ladders, crossbars, and folding tables. There are models that combine a sleeping area with a play or work area. There can be a sleeping place upstairs, and a soft sofa downstairs. Often the design is equipped with built-in wardrobes and drawers for storing things. According to their shape, there are straight and corner beds. The advantages include:

• compactness of the model;
• functionality;
• creating a cozy atmosphere in the room;
• wide choice (achieved through a variety of designs and colors).

Among the disadvantages may be endless disputes between children about who will get the upper tier and who will get the lower. In addition, parents often worry that the child may fall in his sleep and get injured.

Attics

The bed got its name from its resemblance to an attic, because the sleeping area is always located at the top. The lower space is equipped with a closet or work area. This design is indispensable for small spaces, it looks stylish and adds extra comfort to the room. Among the advantages:

• saving space in the room;
• combining several zones in a small area;
• Stylish modern design that will appeal to both adults and children.

The model also has weaknesses. Firstly, there is the possibility of falling from a height. Secondly, the attic is contraindicated for people with respiratory diseases and fear of heights. Thirdly, it is difficult for a child to make the bed on his own.

Transformers

A transforming bed is valued for its versatility. The designer approach to the manufacture of furniture allows it to fit organically even into small spaces. The bed can be built into a closet or combined with a table, but the most popular product remains the one that transforms into a sofa. The models differ in their layout mechanisms. Products highlighted:

1. Folding. They can be equipped with a spring mechanism or gas lift. At night, such a bed is a full-fledged sleeping place, and during the day it turns into a wardrobe, cabinet or desk. The disadvantage of a product with springs is the need to apply significant physical force to constantly transform one piece of furniture into another. The gas lift model is more convenient and easier to use, but it also costs more.
2. Roll-out. A characteristic feature is that the bed is hidden in the lower part of the closet or the entire set (the so-called “wall”). To roll out the bed, you will need to press the hidden levers or slightly pull the structure towards you using special straps. A variety of such models are multi-tiered children's beds “matryoshka”, in which the sleeping places are rolled out from under each other.

The trend today is sofas that, when folded out, transform into a bunk bed.

With built-in elements

To save space, you can choose a multifunctional bed for your bedroom. This product comes with additional built-in elements. These can be bedside tables or shelves located at the head. This model has its advantages. The cabinets are convenient for storing underwear and other items that should be at hand (handkerchiefs, sleep mask, mobile phone charger). On the work surface you can place interior decorations, photo frames, candles, and decorative lamps. On the open shelves at the head it is convenient to leave a book or a TV remote control. In addition, such an original backrest will set the style for the entire interior of the room.

Designer imagination is not limited to standard options. Thus, the bed can be supplemented with built-in lamps with the ability to adjust the angle of the light flux.

With side back

A bed with side backs looks more like an ottoman or a sofa. It is indispensable in rooms where it is not possible to place it in the center, but you have to move it towards the wall. The model with side backs protects the wallpaper from abrasion, and more importantly, the sleeping person does not touch the cold wall.

The height of the backrest at the headboard may stand out, and the sides may be lower. In some models, all three elements are equal. Corner designs are also common. They take up little space, are made in different designs, and are an excellent alternative to traditional beds.

Original ideas for beds in the interior

With the help of unusual products, the overall stylistic composition of the room becomes more complete, and the design becomes more original and unique. For example, it could be a bed placed under the ceiling, which not only transforms the atmosphere, but also gives an unusual feeling.

Model classification

Long gone are the days when only kings and owners of medieval castles enjoyed the privilege of sleeping on a bed, and ordinary people huddled on straw mattresses. Today it is difficult to imagine the life of a modern person without a full-fledged sleeping place in the house. Over several centuries of existence, so many different types of beds have appeared that there is even a need to classify them.

By functionality

Bed designs have undergone some changes since their first production and have become more functional. Models have appeared with compartments for storing linen; the bed is often equipped with a lifting mechanism. All beds can be divided into three types. The first is classic models that are not equipped with storage space. The second are beds with drawers or drawers. The design is convenient; to access things you don’t have to lift the bed every time. The third are models in which the storage box is located inside under the mattress. To access things you have to lift the bed, so it is often equipped with a lifting mechanism. Furniture not very convenient for regular use.

By type of base

Manufacturers use the following types of structures for the base:

1. Solid bottom. Made from a single sheet of plywood, chipboard, MDF. Beds with such a base are inexpensive. Among the disadvantages is the inability to withstand heavy loads. Such furniture will not last long and will quickly fail.
2. The bottom is made of wooden planks - lamellas. This design is valued because, with sufficient rigidity, it is characterized by plasticity and has an orthopedic effect. It is important to pay attention to the number of lamellas and the distance between them. The more slats and the smaller the spacing, the higher the weight the bed will support and the longer its lifespan.
