Single
Bed – Single Splendor
There
are many types of beds available in the market these days. Some
of these are Single bed, Double
bed, Full bed, Queen bed, King
bed, California King, Western King, and Eastern king bed etc.
Many times a single bed is confused to be the same as the twin
bed but there is a slight difference between the two. A simple
definition of a single bed would be ‘a bed that is meant
for or used by a single occupant’. Although the twin bed
is also necessarily used by a single occupant there is a difference
between the two.
Difference
between the twin bed and the single bed
A twin bed is one part of the two identical beds of same size,
shape and dimensions. It is meant for one occupant. Although the
single bed is also meant for one occupant too, there is a difference
between the two in terms of size, shape etc. If two single beds
of different dimensions and patterns are kept in a room they will
not be called twin beds. Thus basically two single beds of same
size, dimension and shape make a twin bed.
Usage
of the single bed
The single bed can be used in the following places –
• Living room instead of a sofa
• Guest rooms
• Single occupancy hotel rooms
• College dormitories
• Small flats or studio apartments
Thus these have a widespread usage in spaces that are especially
small. The single bed can also be used by permanent bachelors.
Advantages
and disadvantages of the single bed
Advantages – The single bed has advantages
in smaller spaces because they are narrow and occupy less space.
They can be used as sofa cum beds and also used to accommodate
a single guest. The single beds are less expensive and so are
the sheets, which also come in different patterns in case of single
beds.
Disadvantages
- The single bed can become uncomfortable sometimes for
some adults and teens that are tall and hefty.
Dimensions
of the single bed
The dimensions of the single bed are similar to that of the twin
bed. The standard dimension is
39" wide x 75" long, although this can be varied to
suit the convenience of the user. But it is advisable not to take
a smaller dimension than this as it can cause utmost discomfort.
Cost
and varieties and variations of the single bed
A good single bed is likely to cost anywhere between 200 to 1000
dollars. There are various types of single beds which differ in
materials, patterns and shapes. The materials that are commonly
used are different varieties of wood, metal and pine. The beds
can either be polished or painted in different colors and they
can have different floral or striped patterns. These days there
are many add-on’s to the single bed like headboards, battery
back-ups, motorized bed lifters, cot sides, trundles etc too!

Think
about your Rear, Dear!
Furniture can look great, but if you do not like sitting on it,
I have one question. WHY?
Pillows
can add color and comfort.
Instead of spending money on furniture, try a new color and/or
pattern for a new look.
Don't
fill the whole space.
Too much furniture in a room can do the opposite of what you want.
It keeps people out.
