How to buy a new bed like a professional

Why it is important to buy the right bed

On average, we spend about 8 hours a day in bed. Therefore, it is particularly important to find the right fit in order to get a good night’s sleep and start the day refreshed.

Do you regularly suffer from headaches and back pain, daytime tiredness, cravings and mood swings? Sleep disorders can have a negative impact on your health. In addition to external influences, inner restlessness and stress, an outdated, unsuitable bed system could also be to blame for your lack of restful sleep. In the long term, this can have fatal consequences for your back health and general well-being.

But it's not only the inner values that count when buying a bed. Your new bed should also match you and your bedroom and be exactly the same style. Ideally, you feel better as soon as you enter your bedroom and see your dream bed.

Which bed frame should it be?

Do you like to spread out at night when you are sleeping, or do you prefer to cuddle up? How much space does your bedroom offer? The question regarding the right size of the bed frame is usually the first thing you’re asked when you want to buy a bed. The size of the bed that suits you depends largely on how much space your bedroom offers and how much space you would like to have to stretch out in your sleep. 😉

Beds with a size of 80x200 cm or 90x200 cm are particularly suitable if you want to save space, such as in a child's room or a student room. If you have more space available, you can of course allow yourself a larger lying surface. If you share your bed with your better half, a width of 160 cm or more is ideal. This way you can make sure that you don't disturb each other at night.

How not to lose sight in the mattress jungle

When buying a bed, it can initially seem difficult to keep track of the mattress jungle. But if you think about your desired comfort beforehand, you too will quickly find the right mattress for you.

The mattress should be as supportive as possible and at the same time relieve the spine to protect its natural S-shape. So, there is no way around testing beds, and it is best to get a consultant at the store to look at your spine while you are lying on your side. Buying a mattress for your bed based only on a feeling, can be quite deceptive in retrospect and negatively impact your sleep.

When it comes to choosing the mattress core, one thing can be said: the mattress should be chosen individually according to your own wishes, because each type of core has its advantages: Swissflex GELTEX^® mattresses are particularly flexible and adapt to your body shape with every movement you make. At the same time, hey support important parts of your body – ideal for people who move around a lot in their sleep and wish to relieve sensitive body parts.

These mattresses are therefore suitable for all those who place great importance on lying comfortably in various sleeping positions.

The slat base: A foundation for the optimal sleep position

Just like the search for a suitable mattress, the choice of the right slat base is also important, because even the best mattress does not offer the expected comfort if the slat base underneath is not also of high quality.

A high-quality slat base provides a pleasant bouncy feeling for the body, is adaptable, and supportive. In addition, it allows the mattress to "breathe" and contributes to the ventilation of the bed. If you want to buy a new bed, a complete bed system is a good choice. This way you can be sure that the slat base and bed frame fit together precisely. From a fixed slat base to an electrically adjustable slat base, Swissflex has the right model for you!

Buying the right bed for your furnishing

Our furnishings are often as individual as each of us. Your new bed should naturally match your interior design style, so that a harmonious picture is created, and you can truly relax in your bedroom. The choice of design is probably the most enjoyable part of buying a bed. Different headboard designs, numerous fabrics and colours, different legs – let your creativity run wild!

For example, beds with a wooden frame and headboard look wonderfully natural and down to earth. If you like to bring a bit of colour into the bedroom, you can add an unusual eye-catcher with a coloured fabric cover of the bed frame. A combination of wood and fabric is also particularly chic. Whether narrow or generously upholstered, your taste decides!
