Practical and Stylish Single Beds
Single beds represent an option that has a number of different incarnations. These incarnations can make for practical and delightful options for nearly any room and individual. There are some different considerations when choosing the best bed for your setting.
Size of the Person
With singles you cannot really expect to sleep more than one person. In some cases you can expect to sleep teenagers and sometimes college students though. This provides a variety of different ages that can be suited by a single bed. This makes them less practical for guest rooms, but more practical for the very early ages and up to junior high in most cases.
Material
You can expect to find a number of different materials shaped into single sizes. There are many wood options as well as metal. The particular bed’s design is influenced by the material that is used. This is based on the reality that wood is simply more workable than metal for some design elements. Particle board is not an unheard of material in these beds either.
Design
In some cases you may want nothing more than a basic bed. These can provide comfortable and sometimes wonderful sleeping arrangements with very little space required. There are other options though. Some of these beds offer additional storage space beneath the bed. This helps to maximize the space used in the room. These drawers are especially convenient for sleep clothes and other things as well. There are other under the bed options that can be found too. Among these are beds with an extra bed underneath. These are especially convenient for children that like to have guests sleepover.
The High Sleeper
There is one model that resembles a bunk bed, but has only one mattress. The mattress is raised off of the ground and underneath the mattress different options can be found. Among the more common of these are desk areas. These offer a complete desk space for the child to work at. This further maximizes the space in a small room and adds a certain amount of distinction to the room. These same designs are sometimes found on college campuses in the dorms.
Couch Combo
The futon couch combination offers the option of a seating area in the bedroom. It is located under the high mattress, but the couch is able to fold down into a second bed. In most cases the top bed is a single. The futon will likely be larger when it is folded down into a bed. This is a significant step toward the bunk bed and may not be what everyone is looking for.
Stack Style
Single beds are prime candidates for bunk-style. They are the most common size of mattress to make up bunk beds. There are a number that are more versatile than the classic bunk bed though. There are a number of beds that can function as individual beds, but also be stacked on top of each other if desired. In some cases these can be stacked up to three bunks high. It is important to provide safety rails with bunk beds though.
