If you're looking for a bed, you might be wondering what style will best meet your needs. Do you choose a platform bed, a bed with a headboard and footboard, or just a mattress and base to go inside a decorative frame?
How do you even know if you're going to choose the right kind of bed to meet your needs? You might want to take a little time to look around at your bedroom or the space where you'll be putting your bed before you decide on a particular style.

Taking the time to evaluate your needs and the space you have available will help you to choose the most appropriate bed style for all your needs.
- How much room do you have to put your bed in? If space is limited, you might find that you do better with a mattress, base and bed frame. You can often get the size of bed that you want and it will fit comfortably in your space if you choose to eliminate some of the extras, such as a headboard or footboard. If you have a large amount of space to work with, you may want to choose a larger bed style - such as one with drawers in the base - that fills your space more appropriately.
- Are you strapped for storage space? You may like the type of bed that has storage options underneath. This can be a great way to store clothing, sheets, blankets and pillows when you don't necessarily have the closet space or don't have room space for additional furniture.
- Living in a small space and want to fit more into it? Consider a loft bed that you can put a chair, bookshelves or even a television underneath. This type of bed style will help you to maximise your space and make the most of every inch of it.
- Are you the type who likes traditional beds, with a base, and separate head and footboards? If you have the space for it, the style of your bed will mostly be up to you, with frames available in a vast range of finishes in wood and metal.
- Don't forget about your budget. The price will depend on which of the different bed styles you choose, so make sure that you know how much money you have to spend before you wind up wanting a bed that you cannot afford.
When you know your space and your needs, and consider your budget, you will be able to choose a bed style that you can be really happy with for years to come.
