We spend a third of our lives in sleep. Therefore, the bed should be such as to fall asleep and wake up with a happy smile. Our consultant, designer Svetlana Yurkova, tells what to look for when choosing a bed.

Width
One person must have a minimum of 120 cm, that is, an ideal double bed is 240 cm.
Height
It should correspond to the level of the sleeping person’s knees. It is believed that low beds are for young people, and the older we are, the more preferable a high bed.
Mattress
Comfortable – with summer silk and winter wool sides, it can be turned over depending on the season.
Head
The bigger, the better. The headboard is subconsciously perceived as a shelter. With a tiny headboard, you can feel unprotected. This also applies to fashionable “hanging” beds, where there is no ground underfoot.
