Spending a third of their lives sleeping, people make sure that their bed is comfortable. The furniture industry works by creating more and more new models. Let's find out which beds are recognized as the most unusual.
The biggest beds
In an effort to appear in the Guinness Book of Records, some masters sometimes forget about the functionality of what they invent or create. This happened with one of the Swiss companies. They made a bed that most likely no one will ever sleep on. The height of this record-breaking product is three meters and seventy centimeters, the width is seven and a half meters, and the length is eleven and a half meters. Moving such a colossus is not an easy task. Its weight is two and a half tons.
The fastest bed is based on a car
Another huge invention appeared in the eighties of the twentieth century in the Netherlands. The craftsmen made a bed five meters seventy-nine centimeters long and three meters eighty-one centimeters wide. Today this huge bed is located in one of the hotels in the Netherlands, namely the Lloyd Hotel. The room where she is staying costs two hundred euros per day. Tourists who come with large families willingly book a room with the largest bed, since eight people can sleep on it at the same time. 
You can spend the night on the longest bed for 200 euros per night
The most expensive beds
There are people who are ready to shell out huge amounts of money for beds, the number of which is limited in the world, beds designed by the most expensive designers. One of the most expensive is the product of the British company Vi-Spring. The name of the record-breaking bed translated into Russian sounds like “Greatness”. It's almost square in shape. It is made by hand and decorated with expensive cotton, cashmere and wool. "Greatness" can only be purchased in London for ninety thousand dollars. 
The project of Abdolkhai Parnian, who created a beautiful and very expensive bed from African sapele wood, ebony and flame maple, is worthy of attention. He worked on the project for two years, and then brought it to life for eight months. Some parts of this bed are made of gold and stainless steel. The cost of the masterpiece is two hundred ten thousand dollars. 
A huge square bed measuring three by three meters costs five hundred thousand dollars. It can be called a whole complex, since in addition to the bed itself, there is a built-in DVD player, audio system, player, game console, plasma TV, and also a wine cooler. The bed is decorated with gold inserts. The name of this product is Jado Steel Style. 
First place for today goes to the creation of designer Stuart Hughes. The name of the bed that ranks first in cost is Baldacchino Supreme. Its price is six million three hundred thousand dollars, which is due to the material used. In addition to cherry and chestnut, from which the bed itself is made, gold inlay raised the price. It should be noted that an incredible amount of gold was taken - one hundred and seven kilograms. In addition to gold, precious stones, including diamonds, are used for decoration. The bed is made by Hebanon. For this, the craftsmen had to work for about three months. 
The most unusual bed in the world
Designers Merav Eitan & Gaston Zahr have designed a real cozy nest - this is exactly what a bed looks like, which parents are happy to buy for their children. 
Choosing the most unusual bed in the world from all this variety is quite difficult. Perhaps the most non-standard one is the one that literally floats in the air. This became possible thanks to powerful magnets and special cables. It can withstand weight up to a thousand kilograms. 
Creating a creative and exclusive bed is the dream of many designers. There are also many consumers who want to become owners of unusual pieces of furniture for sleeping. The bed looks absolutely incredible, looking like a sailboat or a boat. 
One of the main points influencing people’s sound and healthy sleep is a properly selected bed in the bedroom. To do this, it should be as convenient as possible. There are a large number of different models on the market nowadays. A large bed has become popular due to its size. This model is also called “royal” or king size. Relaxing and sleeping on such furniture is much more pleasant and comfortable.
A large bed will appeal to those who love free space. In the modern world, sound, healthy sleep is very important. Lack of sleep can lead to poor health and fatigue. Large models allow both spouses to sleep well without disturbing each other, because this bed has an impressive size. King beds are divided into three types and are called:
- Queen size – this type is a sleeping bed for 2 people. The furniture is comfortable and quite spacious. The width of the products varies from 160 to 180 cm. It will be an excellent option for people of standard build. The bed is larger than usual, which allows sleepers to feel much more comfortable and freer. This model has gained particular popularity among young married couples. The sleeping bed is practical and spacious. In addition, not only married couples opt for Queen size beds; single people also purchase them. Free space on the bed allows you to place a laptop or tablet next to you. The design of the model allows one or two people to feel free, as well as combine relaxation and a pleasant pastime;
- King size – the sizes of beds in this category are slightly larger than the previous ones. Furniture dimensions vary over a fairly wide range. The most common width of products is 180-200 cm. But each manufacturer can independently choose the dimensions for their products; there is no single established parameter. A King size bed is considered one of the types of double models designed for spacious bedrooms;
- Super King Size is the largest bed of all the ones presented. They will be the best option for lovers of restful sleep and free space. The most common bed dimensions are 200x220 cm or 200x200 cm.
The above models are considered an excellent option not only for comfortable rest and sleep. The free space of the bed can be used for a pleasant pastime: reading a book or watching your favorite movie. For most people of average height, the length of the frame of these models is quite suitable.
All bed specifications are considered standard in certain countries and may differ from each other. Some manufacturers call furniture by their own names, adding the word “King” to them.
Differences between models for obese people
Excess weight of a person becomes some obstacle in choosing furniture, since not all models are designed for heavy loads. When choosing a bed for obese people, you have to focus not only on standard characteristics, such as the length, width and height of the product. Particular attention must be paid to the maximum load on bedroom furniture.
Manufacturers of interior items made sure that the products were comfortable, looked beautiful and at the same time suitable for this category of people. There are special models on the market equipped with a reinforced frame. In addition, in conventional models a lattice base is installed. It may not be suitable for overweight people, so manufacturers replaced it with a solid wooden surface. Another option is to use a metal base with sheets of laminated MDF laid on top. The support legs will also add strength to the structure. Their minimum quantity is 4-9 pieces. The reliability of the product depends on the number of legs, therefore, the more there are, the better and safer.
Some models are equipped with wooden slats. The width of the elements should not be less than 6.8 cm. The distance between the slats is up to 5 cm. For greater strength and reliability of the structure, the slats are secured with metal elements.
You can install a platform bed in the bedroom. A wide sleeping area is perfect for an overweight person. Another great option for overweight people is a catwalk model. Such furniture rests on the floor along the entire plane and can withstand heavy loads.
Thus, bedroom furniture should be:
- Particularly durable;
- Resistant to deformation;
- Able to withstand heavy loads;
- Equipped with additional reinforced orthopedic elements.
In addition to the bed itself, attention should be paid to the mattress. Not all models are equally suitable for a person with a normal build and for people with a large weight. Standard mattresses are produced for a load of up to 120 kg per bed. It will be uncomfortable for a fat person to sleep on a regular mattress, because the product will be pressed under the weight. Also, the mattress will quickly become unusable and you will have to spend money on purchasing a new one again.
Mattresses for overweight people must withstand heavy loads. Their thickness cannot be less than 20 cm. Almost all major mattress manufacturers produce such products. The models correctly support the human spine, do not collapse, and are suitable for people weighing from 120 to 170 kg. This moment is very important, it helps relieve tension from the spine and relax. To achieve increased rigidity, various materials are used. The most popular of them: coconut coir, sisal fibers, dense foam.
To create a mattress with a durable design for heavy people, manufacturers use:
- Increasing the number of springs used;
- The use of wire with a large cross-section for the manufacture of rigid springs;
- Use of high density foam.
Dimensions
When choosing a bed for your bedroom, special attention should be paid not only to the quality of materials, but also to its size. To make a choice, some furniture stores allow you to check the product for comfort. You can lie down on the bed and determine whether this model is suitable or not.
When choosing sizes, the following rules must be taken into account. The length of the bed is calculated depending on the height of the person. You need to add another 30 cm to the growth rate. This reserve is quite enough. In addition, you need to measure the distance that the pillows occupy. It is important how exactly a person places his head on the pillow.
To measure the width, a person needs to lie on his back. In this case, the elbows should be spread out and the fingers should be joined on the stomach. Now you need to measure the distance from your elbows to the edge of the bed. Ideally, it cannot be less than 10 cm. If a person prefers to sleep on his side, then measure the distance from the edge of the bed to the back - it should be 15 cm or more.
Standard models are produced based on the parameters of the average person with a height of 170-180 cm. A King size sleeping bed can have the following dimensions (dimensions are indicated in cm):
- Width 180, length 200;
- Width 200, length 200;
- Width 200, length 220.
At the same time, Queen Size beds are 160 cm wide and 200 cm long. Depending on the country of origin, the parameters may vary. For example, among the British, models with dimensions of 180x200 cm are already classified as Super King Size.
The dimensions of interior items are not the same in different countries. According to American parameters, a Queen Size bed is 160x200 cm, and a King Size is 180x220 cm; according to English parameters, the latter already belong to the Super King Size category.
A bedroom with a large bed always looks beautiful and respectable. Spacious furniture will allow you to have a good night's sleep, regardless of the size of the person. Thus, for adults, a sleeping place measuring 190x200cm would be an excellent option. The 220x200 cm model will become a real royal bed. For overweight people, it is recommended to choose single or double bed models with a hard mattress, as they can withstand loads of up to 200 kg.
The largest models in the world
The furniture industry produces more and more new bed models. Some of them are standard, others are unusual and unique. Sometimes manufacturers strive to get into the book of records by creating unimaginable products. For example, a Swiss company was able to produce the largest bed in the world. The sleeping bed turned out to be truly huge. The dimensions of the largest bed were: 7.5 m wide, 11.5 m long. The height of the model was 3.7 m. But no one has been lucky enough to sleep on it yet.
Another example of a giant bed was a model created in the Netherlands. The berth, 3.81 m wide and 5.79 m long, is still located in one of the rooms of the Dutch hotel. This huge bed can accommodate up to 8 people. Tourists coming to the country often book this room. Huge beds are most likely a way to create something unusual and exclusive. For example, a large nest-shaped bed or a giant knitted model.
Large bed models are suitable for both single people and married couples. A king size or super king size sleeping bed will be the best option for overweight people. These models with a durable frame are the most suitable not only in size, but also in their ability to distribute a large load.

The bedroom is a place for a good night's rest; here, all interior details should bring comfort and convenience. It depends only on the owner what kind of bed to arrange in the bedroom - functional and folding into a wall niche, floating in the air, or in the form of a huge book, where it is convenient for little mischief-makers to fall asleep. Every year, designers offer original beds that can capture the imagination of notorious skeptics.

Unusual materials
When choosing an original bed for your bedroom, you should take a closer look at the material that was used to construct the model. An unusual solution would be to use more natural materials - bamboo or rattan - instead of conventional materials.
Creative approach to the selection of materials:
- Designers use pallets to create a spectacular bed. You can build a similar structure yourself by painting the pallets in colors that are in harmony with the overall style of the bedroom;
- Decoration in rustic style. The design, made of untreated wood, attracts the eye. The model combines antiquity with modernity and attracts attention;

- A bed made from stacks of books. After stacking the books, they are tied with twine for stability, and a mattress is placed on top for convenience.
An interesting headboard, which you can make yourself or order, will add originality to any bed. An unusual solution is a slate board in the bedroom, where important notes are left and bright collages are attached.
For an original bed, you should choose a design so that the painting on the walls matches the overall design. The use of mirror panels, metal pipes, photo wallpaper, and lighting will turn the bedroom not only into a place to sleep at night, but also the most creative solution for the apartment.
