What to choose for the bedroom – a sofa or a bed: advice from a designer
09.11.2023 18:12
The best place to sleep is on a bed, especially if you buy an orthopedic mattress. A separate bedroom is not a luxury these days, but sometimes you have to choose between a bed and a sofa.
Here it is worth weighing the pros and cons, and also assessing the prospects.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to choose between a bed and a sofa for the bedroom.
Choosing a bed
Certainly, the advantages of the bed include high-quality and healthy sleep, the absence of a folding mechanism that can break, and there is no need to constantly make the bed.
The interior of a bedroom with a bed looks more harmonious and even intimate.
The bed does have its drawbacks. At the very least, there will be difficulties if you want to rearrange it and the room is cramped. There are no options here.
A much more significant drawback is that a bed with a good mattress will not be cheap. And if the apartment is a one-room apartment, then the investment will hardly justify itself.
Choosing a sofa
Obviously, this is a winning option for owners of one-room and small apartments. You can put it in the corner and fence off the sleeping area with a rack or curtain.
In addition, a sofa fits harmoniously into any interior, and it is a more functional thing than a bed.
As for the disadvantages, in addition to the breakdown of folding mechanisms, this includes less comfortable sleep and hygiene.
Sleeping on a sofa where a noisy company has just sat will not be pleasant for everyone. Only a mattress pad or topper will help in this regard.
Conclusion
A sofa is a compromise between a cozy interior and a sleeping place.
But the final decision can only be made after assessing the area, architectural possibilities and financial component of the renovation.
