They say that the average person sleeps approximately 1/3rd of their lifetime – that’s a lot of time to spend in a bed – even if you don’t sleep the prescribed 8 hours of sleep every night!

Since sleep is so often directly related to our mental and physical health, it’s important to have a bed that is properly sized, comfortable, and durable.

When it comes to picking out new bedroom furniture, it can seem like a big decision, whether you’re looking for a bed frame, mattress, or additional pieces. However, taking the time to do proper research on comfort, features, and price points before you purchase a set is worth the time.

Although bedroom furniture can get expensive, there are some cheap bedroom sets available on the market. The more costly a set is also doesn’t mean that the quality is better, and vice versa. Depending on wear and tear as well as the care taken when moving from place to place, your bedroom set could easily last decades.

So before you jump ahead of yourself and buy a new set, here are some tips and factors to consider before you decide.
The first thing you need to decide is what will best suit you and your space. This will depend on the space of your bedroom: what size will comfortably fit in the room, keeping in mind additional closets, dressers, storage space, bedside tables, artwork, bookshelves, chaises or other decorative furniture, and etc. You also want to be able to leave enough space so the room doesn’t look too cluttered.

Second, the bed and bed frame size will depend on how many people will be sleeping in the bed and their height/size. If it’s just you, it’s generally your preference and room size restrictions that you’ll have to consider. For two, you generally need at least a double/full, queen, or king. For those who are taller or larger, a queen, king, or California king are your best bets.

Third, decide whether you want to buy just a simple bed frame and mattress or if you want to take advantage of some of the cheaper furniture sets available in stores. By buying a set, you could save. Perhaps a two-piece set with bed frame and night table? A three-piece set with bed frame and two night tables? Perhaps a four piece with a frame, nightstand, headboard, and dresser? This decision could depend on whether you already have existing bedroom furniture that you want to compliment, whether you’re looking to purchase an entire new set, or if you want something in between.

Finally, once you’ve done your research, made your decision on size, style, and budget, the best way to decide whether a specific bedroom set suits you and your space is to visit a store and see for yourself. You can text the quality and craftsmanship, test the mattresses, measure the length/width to ensure that it will fit your space, and pick the wood or stain finish that would best match your space. Good luck!
