Considerations when buying a bed

Our bed directly influences the quality of our sleep and for this reason we must take into account some aspects when buying it. We spend many hours replenishing our energy, which is why this piece of furniture has become a sacred item. Learn our tips for choosing a good bed and getting better sleep.

Measure your bed

One of the most important aspects to consider when buying a bed is its measurements. These must be proportional to your room so that they fit perfectly and do not obstruct the space. On the other hand, it is important to analyze where you want to put the bed. If you have a larger room, you will be able to play more with the spaces and this will allow you to give your room a totally different look.

Check the quality of the bed and mattress.

The quality of your mattress and your bed base go hand in hand. It is important that it has a firm base to support the mattress, as it should not move. On the other hand, it is important that you try different types of mattresses and bases that are most suitable for your back. Another trick is the height of the bed. If you live in colder places, you can opt for a high bed. This is useful because the further away the base is from the floor, the less cold you will feel.

Change the mattress if necessary

A mattress has a lifespan of approximately 10 years. However, there are cases where they can last much longer. This will depend a lot on the amount of money you decide to invest, the materials of the mattress and its quality. It is important that you are constantly flipping and checking your mattress as they can weaken over time. Also choose the material that best suits your skin and that ensures greater durability. 

Consider the material of your bed

At Casa Suárez we strongly recommend wood as the material for your bed base. We base our preference on the firmness of the wood, its durability, its ecological touch, its resistance and its attractive aesthetics. On the market you will find a variety of materials but without a doubt if you want to have a bed that will accompany you for generations, wood is the best option.

Determine the type of pillow you need

To determine your pillow type you must consider the following three aspects:

1. Back sleeper

If you sleep in this position you require more neck support. Therefore, you need a medium pillow of approximately 12 to 13 cm of firmness and medium thickness so as not to put pressure on your neck. Memory foam and fiber pillows are ideal for those who sleep in this position.

2. Stomach sleeper

When you sleep in this position your head remains turned to one side, which causes excessive pressure on the joints of your jaw. Therefore, a low pillow of approximately 10 cm is the most suitable for this posture. 

3. Side sleeper

This is the most common posture, so it is recommended to choose a pillow with a medium-high height. You can choose a pillow 15 cm high and you must take into account that it is important that your head and neck are aligned with the axis of your spine.

Remember that taking care of your sleep should be a priority and that your bed plays a very important role in it.
