Beds: The ideal size for any space
Choosing the right size bed is a decision that affects both the comfort of your sleep and the overall aesthetic of your bedroom. Whether you're a new apartment owner or just looking to freshen up your space, this guide will help you make the best choice.
The basic bed sizes
Before we look at how to choose the right size, let's look at the basic options you have:
- Single (90x190 cm.) : Ideal for children or teenagers.
- Semi-double (110x190 cm.) : Good choice for adults with limited space.
- Double (140x190 cm.) : Popular choice for couples.
- Queen (160x200 cm.) : Offers extra space for couples.
- King (180x200 cm.) : The ultimate choice for maximum comfort.

Factors to consider
1. Room size
The size of your room is the first and most important factor. A very large bed in a small room can create a feeling of suffocation, while a very small bed in a large room can look lost.
Tip : Leave at least 75cm of free space around the bed for easy movement.
2. Number of people
Are you alone or sharing a bed? If you are a couple, a double bed is the minimum you should consider.
3. Body type
Your height and weight play a role. If you are tall, you may need a longer bed or even a bed with special dimensions.

4. Personal preferences
Some people prefer more space when they sleep, while others feel more comfortable in a more confined space.
5. Other furniture in the room
Think about the other furniture you want in the room, such as bedside tables, wardrobes or a desk.

How to measure your space correctly
- Measure the room : Use a tape measure to measure the length and width of the room.
- Draw : Make a rough drawing of the room on paper.
- Mark the fixed points : Doors, windows, wardrobes.
- Add other furniture : Plan where the other furniture will go.
- Calculate the free space : Make sure there is enough space to move around comfortably.
Tips for different room sizes
Small rooms (up to 12 sq.m.)
- Consider a single or semi-double bed.
- Use beds with storage for extra functionality.
- Choose light-colored furniture to give the feeling of a larger space.
Medium rooms (12-20 sq.m.)
- A double or queen size bed will fit comfortably.
- You can add bedside tables on either side of the bed.
- Consider adding a vanity with a mirror for extra functionality.
Large rooms (over 20 sq.m.)
- A king size bed will fill the space without overwhelming it.
- You can create separate zones in the room (sleeping, reading, dressing).
- Consider a complete bedroom set for a uniform look.
Special cases
Oddly shaped rooms
If your room is an unusual shape, consider:
- Corner bed
- Folding bed to save space
- Bed with special dimensions
Shared rooms
For students or roommates:
- Bunk beds for maximum space saving
- Two single beds instead of one large
Frequently asked questions
How much space do I need around the bed?
Ideally, leave at least 75cm of free space on each side of the bed for easy movement.
Can I put a king size bed in a small room?
Technically yes, but we don't recommend it. It will take up most of the space and make it difficult to move around the room.
What if my partner and I have different preferences?
Consider a split king bed, which consists of two separate twin XL mattresses on a shared base.
Conclusion
Choosing the right size bed is an important decision that affects your daily life. Taking into account the size of your room, your personal preferences and your lifestyle, you can make a choice that will give you a comfortable sleep and enhance the aesthetics of your space.
