Buying a Small Double Size Leather Bed with Mattresses
Studies show that most of us spend one-third of our lives sleeping. Therefore, it is essential to create an ideal sleeping environment. A small double bed may offer the solution. Not only does it provide a comfortable place to lay your head, but it helps maximise space too.
What size is a small double bed?A small double bed offers enough room for one adult or two small children to sleep comfortably. It measures 120cm wide and 190cm long, making it ideal for rooms short on space. Plus, many models include under-mattress storage to save more space.
Leather divan stylesLeather divans add a touch of elegance to any bedroom. Most models consist of an upholstered base and headboard, a mattress, and storage space underneath. Basically, there are three styles: sprung edge, solid or platform top, and firm edge.
- Sprung edge - This style has open coils and pocket springs that encompass the whole bed to provide cushioned support.
- Firm edge - The firm edge divan consists of heavy-duty springs inside a wood frame to prevent roll-off.
- Solid or platform top - This model is constructed from hardwood to provide a firm, supportive surface for your mattress..
If you're redecorating your room, you want a base that is easy to move. Still, it shouldn't move when you're getting in and out of bed. So, you'll need to choose the right type of feet for the flooring in your bedroom. For example:
- The rollers on castors make it easy to move the bed across carpeted floors.
- If you have tiled or hardwood floors, fixed legs will keep the bed in place.
- Glides serve double duty. They remain stationary when getting on and off the bed. Yet, they facilitate movement, if necessary.
Most divan beds come with drawers or an ottoman underneath for storage. Drawer models come in two sections, making it easy to slide the drawers in and out. The ottoman style features one spacious unit. Here's a look at a few options available on eBay.
- Two-drawer - Choices include models with drawers on the same side or opposite sides.
- Four-drawer - This model two narrow on opposite sides of the bed.
- Sliding doors - Sliding doors give you quick access to the storage space.
- Ottomans - Perfect for small rooms, this option lifts from the side or bottom.
There are two types of headboards: standing and strutted. A standing headboard has a fixed height and stands on the floor. Strutted models are adjustable, making it easy to select the headboard's height. The posts on the back of the headboard keep it attached to the base.
