A queen-size bed may seem practical, but it might not be suitable for every family. In fact, many families have put a 1.8m bed on their “blacklist” for the following three reasons.
1. Smaller bedroom space
When choosing a bed size, we must consider the usable area of the bedroom.
With the development of the times, the trend of downsizing bedrooms has become apparent, directly hindering the selection of oversized beds. As a result, the 1.5m bed has become a more popular choice.
For example, in a 10-square-meter bedroom, placing a 1.8m bed leaves little remaining space. Meanwhile, essential furniture such as a wardrobe and a dressing table must also fit in the room.
2. Low practicality
A 1.8m bed is indeed spacious for two people, leaving a certain gap in the middle.
However, when you have children, you will feel that this bed is not enough. When a baby is born, they need their parents’ care and closeness, and adult supervision while sleeping. Having the baby sleep alone in a separate room is impractical.
If the parents and the child sleep in the same 1.8m bed, not only is it difficult to ensure sleep quality, but it may also be unsafe for the child. Therefore, preparing a crib is essential.
In such a limited space, after placing the 1.8m bed and adding a crib, the overall bedroom will feel cramped.
3. Impact on marital relationship
When a couple sleeps in a 1.5m bed, even after a heated argument, lying down in the limited space may lead to unintentional physical contact. This accidental touch can break the stalemate and gradually soothe their emotions, facilitating reconciliation.
However, with a 1.8m bed, the situation may be different. On such a spacious bed, each person may lie on their respective side, as if an invisible distance separates them.
Throughout the night, they might not even touch or exchange a word. This physical and verbal distance can unintentionally negatively affect the couple’s relationship.
