The Ultimate Buying Guide: Finding Your Perfect Small Space Bed
Living in a cozy apartment or a small room? Choosing the right bed is super important. A good small space bed saves room and helps you sleep well. This guide shows you what to look for so you pick the best one for your needs.
Key Features to Look For
When shopping for a small space bed, some features really stand out. These features help maximize your limited floor area.
Storage Solutions
- Built-in Drawers: Look for beds with drawers underneath. These drawers let you store extra blankets, clothes, or shoes right where you sleep.
- Under-Bed Clearance: If the bed doesn’t have drawers, make sure there is enough space underneath. You can slide storage bins there easily.
Transforming Capabilities
- Murphy Beds (Wall Beds): These beds fold up vertically against the wall when not in use. They are the best space-savers for multi-purpose rooms.
- Sofa Beds/Daybeds: These pieces act as a couch during the day and convert into a bed at night. They are perfect for guest rooms or small living areas.
- Loft Beds: These raise the mattress high up, leaving the entire floor space underneath open for a desk, seating, or more storage.
Size and Scale
Always measure your room first! A twin or full size is usually better than a queen in very small spaces. Make sure you have space to walk around the bed, even when it’s fully set up.
Important Materials Matter
The materials used affect how long the bed lasts and how it looks.
Frame Materials
- Solid Wood (Oak, Maple): Wood frames are strong and look nice. They usually last a very long time.
- Engineered Wood (MDF, Plywood): These are often cheaper. They work well for simple frames but might not hold up to heavy daily use as long as solid wood.
- Metal: Metal frames are usually lightweight and very durable. They often work best for modern or industrial styles.
Mechanism Quality (For Folding Beds)
For Murphy beds or trundle beds, the lifting and folding mechanism must be high quality. Strong springs and smooth metal tracks mean the bed will open and close safely for years. Cheap mechanisms wear out quickly.
Factors That Improve or Reduce Quality
Quality is about durability and function. You want a bed that works perfectly every time.
Quality Boosters:
- Strong Support Slats: Good beds use many sturdy slats (the wooden pieces holding the mattress). These prevent sagging and make your mattress last longer.
- Smooth Hardware: Hinges, drawer slides, and lifting pistons should feel smooth and sturdy when you use them.
Quality Reducers:
- Flimsy Construction: If the frame wobbles when you shake it, the quality is low. Avoid beds where pieces are held together only by small screws or weak glue.
- Vinyl or Thin Fabric Finishes: These can easily tear or peel, making the bed look old fast.
User Experience and Use Cases
Think about how you will actually use the bed every single day.
Daily Sleepers:
If you sleep in the small space every night, comfort is key. A sturdy platform bed with good storage drawers beneath offers the best mix of support and space saving. You need easy access to the drawers without moving the mattress.
Occasional Guests:
For a home office that sometimes becomes a guest room, a high-quality sofa sleeper or a Murphy bed is ideal. The experience should be easy: setting it up and putting it away should take just a minute or two.
Kids’ Rooms:
Loft beds are fantastic for kids’ rooms. They create a fun play area or study space underneath. Ensure the ladder or stairs are safe and securely attached to the frame.
10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Small Space Beds
Q: What is the most space-saving bed type?
A: The Murphy bed, or wall bed, saves the most floor space because it folds completely out of sight when you do not need it.
Q: Do small space beds usually require special mattresses?
A: For loft beds and trundle beds, yes, you often need thinner mattresses so they fit correctly under the frame or slide underneath easily.
Q: Are metal frames for small spaces durable?
A: Yes, high-quality metal frames are very durable and often handle the movement of folding or lifting mechanisms better than wood.
Q: What is a “trundle” bed?
A: A trundle bed has a second, lower bed that rolls out from under the main bed frame when you need an extra sleeping spot.
Q: How hard is it to assemble a Murphy bed?
A: Murphy beds can be complicated to assemble because they involve heavy lifting mechanisms. Professional installation is often recommended.
Q: Can I add storage to a standard platform bed?
A: Absolutely. If your platform bed has at least 6 to 8 inches of clearance off the floor, you can use rolling storage containers underneath.
Q: What is the main drawback of a loft bed?
A: The main drawback is accessibility; you have to climb up to get into bed, which can be difficult for some people or when you are very tired.
Q: Does a bed with built-in storage cost much more?
A: Yes, beds with built-in drawers or hydraulic lifts usually cost more upfront than simple, low-profile frames.
Q: How do I make sure a sofa bed is comfortable for sleeping?
A: Look for sofa beds that use a real mattress instead of just a thin cushion. Check reviews specifically about how comfortable the bed is when opened.
Q: Should I choose wood or metal for a kid’s bunk bed?
A: Metal is often chosen for bunk beds because it is very strong and takes up less visual space. Wood offers a warmer look but needs very thick posts for safety.
