How to choose the right bed: Au Bon Repos presents its guide

Choosing the right bed is essential to ensuring a good night’s sleep and improving your quality of life. In this guide, you’ll find the best advice from Au Bon Repos to help you make the best choice.

Types of bed

A single bed is perfect for one person, often used in children’s or guest bedrooms. For two people, a double bed with standard dimensions such as 140x200cm or 160x200cm is ideal. If you want more space, opt for a Queen Size (160x200cm) or King Size (180x200cm).
For specific needs, there are mezzanine beds, trundle beds or foldaway beds

Choosing a mattress

It’s important to choose a mattress that suits your needs.

Foam mattresses offer good support and are often more affordable, ideal for children and light people.
Latex mattresses, whether natural or synthetic, are hypoallergenic and offer excellent ventilation and durability.
Spring mattresses provide excellent support and ventilation, with pocket springs particularly popular for their comfort.
Finally, memory foam mattresses adapt to the contours of the body for personalised support, reducing pressure points.

The base

The choice of base is just as crucial.
A slatted base, compatible with almost all types of mattress, offers good ventilation and firm support.
A sprung base, particularly suitable for spring mattresses, adds an extra level of comfort.
For those with back problems, a reclining base is ideal for adjusting the sleeping position.

Selection criteria

When buying a bed, make sure that the dimensions match the size of your bedroom and that it leaves enough room to move around.
Solid wood beds are durable and aesthetically pleasing, while metal beds can offer a more modern style.
Choose a design that matches your bedroom décor, whether classic, modern or rustic.

Choosing a pillow

The choice of pillow plays an important role in the quality of your sleep.
Natural or synthetic pillows with a good level of firmness are essential.
Firm pillows are ideal for side sleepers. Back sleepers should opt for a medium-firm pillow, while stomach sleepers should choose soft pillows. Filling with feathers, down or synthetic materials affects the firmness and comfort of the pillow.
