Small room before look above to see what happens when you use "Imagination"Do you live in a tiny apartment? You’re looking to create more space, but have no ideas? When square footage is tights, you’ve got to use your imagination to create functional living space without clutter. One of the biggest challenges is where to place large furniture that you cannot live without, such as the bed. From classic loft beds to stunning bed designs suspended from the ceiling, there is no shortage of smart solutions that can maximize your living space. To get you inspired, here are 12 awesome ideas where to put a bed in a tiny room! This adventurous idea is not for the faint-hearted:) One great way to open up a small place – hang your bed from the ceiling! You will not only have a unique sleep experience, but also free up a ton of space on the floor. However, its very important to make sure that the ceiling is properly reinforced and can carry the extra load. Also, you should not attempt this installation before you repair any crack or any other problems your ceiling may have.
Be careful executing this installation on your own, unless you are an expert DIYer. To be safe, hire a contractor to do this unique project for you. If you don’t have enough space in your bedroom for your desk, clothes, etc, you can use your bed for storage. And, no, we don’t mean throw everything on your bed and hope to find it… We mean a brilliant, space-saving invention – a bed that is actually a living cube! You have everything you need here – an entertainment center with TV and books, closet with clothes and shoes and your bed on top! When choosing a hotel, there are a number of features and amenities that you should take into account. In some instances, you may be most concerned about the size of the room, although at other times you may simply want to make sure the hotel is close to restaurants or other venues. If you are interested in having enough room to sleep, consider the size of the bed or beds in the room. This is particularly important if more than one person plans to sleep in a bed.
Sleepers If you are staying in the bed by yourself and are shorter than than 5 feet 6 inches, then a full-size bed should be able to accommodate you for a restful night's sleep. On the other hand, if you are taller than 5 feet 6 inches, you might be more comfortable on a queen-size bed. Similarly, if more than two sleepers are in the bed, a queen-size bed offers more space than a full-size bed. Some couples find that queen beds are still a little too small for comfort. King beds offer even more space. Dimensions A full-size bed is about 54 inches wide and about 75 inches long. Queen beds are about 60 inches wide and 80 inches long. Because couples in queen beds only get about 30 inches of space each, a single sleeper in a full-size bed gets about 24 inches more of space. Cost When booking a hotel room, there is sometimes a cost difference between the amount of money you pay per night for a room with a queen bed vs. the amount you would pay for a room with a full-size bed. Likewise, a person who purchases a queen bed for his home should expect to pay more than he would for a full-size bed.
Frame The frame for a full-size bed is rectangular in shape and features only the outside edges of the frame. On the other hand, a queen-bed frame similarly features a rectangular shape, but it also has a a center leg to support the middle of the bed. The leg extends from the head of the frame to the foot. Diffen: Full Bed vs. Queen Bed Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images Suggest an Article CorrectionThe Problem: Large Mattress Won't Fit Up the Stairs Need a Bigger Bed.....A few years ago, I needed to upgrade from a full size mattress to a queen size. The occasion for this change was that I had gotten engaged. There’s obviously more to that story, right? Well, I’ll make that long story very short by saying, I’m still single. But at the time, I was faced with a problem. Well, two problems if you count being engaged, but besides that, I had the problem of needing to get a queen size bed up my stairway that was simply not high enough at one point to allow a mattress and box springs of that size to fit through.
I have four suggestions for solving this problem—not the engagement, the other problem—and each will require a bit of an adjustment. The first two suggestions will require an adjustment to your house. The second two suggestions will require an adjustment to your attitude about beds. If the Mattress Won't Fit Up the Stairway, Don't Take it Out on the Mattress First Suggestion for Getting a Large Mattress Upstairs: Take out the Steps in the StairwayI’ll begin with the method I chose for moving the bed to the upstairs bedroom. This will require an adjustment to your house. I had the mattress wedged through the doorway and into the stairway, and it wasn’t going any further, that much was clear. After assessing the situation, I decided that if the step blocking the way was gone, the bed would go up. So I took all the steps out of the stairway up to and including the one blocking the progress. The next step also blocked the bed. So I removed that step and the next one blocked the way as well.
After I had all the steps in the first flight out, the bed fit. The secret in using this method without the trial and error process is to measure the width of the mattress from the bottom edge on one side, to the top edge on the other. This will provide you with the widest measurement for the width of the mattress. Now measure the distance from each step to the closest place on the ceiling. Find the narrowest opening (step to ceiling) and take out the steps up to that point. You should be able to get the bed through. Measure the Mattress at Its Widest Dimension, i.e. Diagonally, Corner to Corner Second Suggestion for Getting a Large Mattress Upstairs: Put the Mattress Through an Upstairs WindowThe second suggestion that will require an adjustment to your house is to remove an upstairs window, casing and all. Be sure to measure the window and the bed before you start to be sure the bed will fit through. If it will fit, just find a way to get the mattress and box spring up to and through the window, and you are all set.
Split Queen or King Size Beds Will Fit Through Most Tight Spaces Third Suggestion for Getting a Large Mattress Upstairs: Purchase a Split Queen or King Size BedThe next two possible solutions will require an adjustment to your attitudes about beds because I will be suggesting alternative types of beds to what we are accustomed too. The first will require the least amount of adjustment on your part. Typically we purchase a mattress and box spring in a total of two pieces. Queen and king size beds can be purchased as two mattresses and two box springs, thereby enabling them to fit up the stairway. These are referred to as a split queen and a split king. A queen size bed is about 60” wide and a king is about 76” wide. So just cut those numbers in half to know how big each half of the split bed will be. Fourth Suggestion for Getting a Large Mattress Upstairs: Look Into Alternative Types of BedsMy next suggestion is to consider something other than the traditional mattress and box spring for your upstairs bedroom.
There are several options such as the Sleep Number Bed, water beds and air beds. Many people apparently like the Sleep Number Bed, but they are expensive. Water beds can present weight issues for second floor bedrooms. Let me give my personal experience with the Aerobed brand of air bed. I travel full time in my work, so I am constantly changing apartments and beds. While in Philadelphia, I rented a third floor apartment with an extremely small staircase in every dimension. Only after signing the rental agreement did I think about a bed, since the apartment was not furnished. The only traditional bed that would have fit would have been a twin. So I began researching alternatives. I ended up at Bed, Bath and Beyond, looking at the Aerobed. They have an assortment of options, including heights, widths as well as with and without inflatable headboards. I settled on a queen size Aerobed that was the same height as a traditional queen size mattress and box spring. I also like the inflatable headboard, as it gives me something to lean on as I read in bed.
