In the eyes of people nowadays, the choice of bed is not only a simple sleeping tool, but also related to the quality of life, health concept and personal taste.
In the past, soft beds were popular for their soft texture and instant comfort.
However, I don't know if you have noticed that many people have begun to stop using soft beds and choose solid wood beds, including many young people.
Why is this? What is the charm of a solid wood bed that makes so many people love it?
What are the advantages of a solid wood bed?
As for the advantages of solid wood beds, I just want to say that after I experienced it, I sighed with emotion: "Teenagers don't know that solid wood beds are good, and they mistake soft beds for treasures".
In particular, the 5 unique advantages brought by the solid wood bed have not only changed my sleeping experience, but also made me more and more fascinated by it, and I will never want to use a soft bed again.
1. The appearance is atmospheric and high-grade
The main material of the solid wood bed is natural wood, such as oak, walnut, pine, etc., which itself has a unique texture and beauty, with natural texture and warm color
From the perspective of process production, the production process of solid wood bed is far more complex than that of soft bed, which needs to go through multiple processes, including wood cutting, grinding, splicing, etc.
These processes require exquisite craftsmanship and strict quality control to ensure the quality and beauty of the final product.
In addition, the design of the solid wood bed also pays attention to the processing of details, such as the shape and decoration of the head, foot, leg and other parts, which makes the solid wood bed more eye-catching in appearance.
2. Health and environmental protection
Since the solid wood bed is made of natural wood, the wood itself is highly environmentally friendly, and the production process is relatively simple, mainly through the wood cutting, sanding and splicing processes, or even completely without a nail, but with a mortise and tenon structure
Soft beds, on the other hand, may use synthetic materials such as man-made panels, foam, and plastics, while the production process may involve the use of chemicals, such as glue, dyes, etc., which are harmful to the body.
3. Stiff spine protection
In the concept of Chinese people, they think that sleeping in a hard bed is good for the lumbar spine, which actually has a certain scientific truth.
In contrast, a soft bed may sink the body and cause deformity of the spine, which may adversely affect spine health in the long run.
Especially for office workers who sit or stand for a long time, the elderly with osteoporosis, and children who are growing and developing,
4. More durable
As we all know, as long as the good solid wood bed is properly preserved, and the insect and antiseptic treatment is done, it will not be a problem to use it for hundreds of years.
This soft bed is incomparable, whether it is filled sponge, latex, or down, it will rot or pulverize after a few years or more than ten years of use, so that a bed is basically scrapped.
5. Easy to clean and maintain
The surface of the solid wood bed is generally smooth and not easy to get dirty, even if there are dust or oil stains, it will be clean by gently wiping it with a rag.
The surface of the soft bed is leather or cloth, so it is not easy to take care of.
How to choose a solid wood bed?
I believe that there are many friends who have seen these 5 advantages of solid wood beds, and will agree in their hearts, and may want to change to solid wood beds in the future.
However, the soft quality of solid wood on the market is uneven, and the price varies greatly, from a few hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
So, how to choose when buying a solid wood bed?
1. Look at the material
The most important thing about the solid wood bed is definitely the material and type of wood, which is directly related to the service life and reliability of the solid wood bed.
The material needs to look at two factors:
(1) Look at the wood. Common solid wood bed timbers on the market include black walnut, cherry, oak, ash, beech, rubber, and pine
(2) Look at the grade. The more authoritative hardwood grades on the market are ranked in the following order: FAS grade> FAS single-sided > special selection grade> general grade 1> general 2,
It is important to note that:
2. Look at the head of the bed
The head of the bed is the "appearance responsibility" of the solid wood bed, and you also need to consider it more when buying.
Generally speaking, first choose the FAS-level large board straight spelling,
Secondly, try not to choose a 90° vertical bed screen, but choose one with a certain inclination, otherwise it is not ergonomic and will be very uncomfortable when resting.
3. Look at the paving board/slatted frame
As the name suggests, it is a flat surface spliced with wooden strips that resembles ribs, which directly affects the comfort and durability of the bed.
The plank is generally made of beech or pine, and beech wood is better than the two.
Secondly, the thickness of the slats frame should be greater than 2 cm, the bearing capacity is better, and the gap between the wooden strips of the slats should be less than 5 cm.
4. Look at the details
The main structure of the solid wood bed is the above three parts, but in order to make the bed last longer, some details must not be overlooked, specifically:
(1) Look at the bed legs. The height of the bed legs from the ground should be more than 10 cm
(2) Look at the hardware. This is like the joints of the bed, which determine the stability of the bed. From the point of view of connection strength and occlusion: double-layer eccentric turbine> single-layer eccentric turbine (half-moon parts) > L-shaped stainless steel parts (triangle iron).
(3) Look at the coating. The paint determines whether the implantation is environmentally friendly, and the poor paint smells great. From the point of view of environmental protection: wood wax oil> water-based paint> oil-based paint.
Nowadays, solid wood beds are becoming more and more popular, and these advantages of it make me gradually feel its unique charm in the process of use.
Of course, when buying a solid wood bed, you also need to have an extra mind, so as not to buy defective products, which will affect the sleep experience.
