All the Advantages of Double Beds

Is it better to have two single beds or a double bed? Here’s why you don’t need to choose anymore!

When a couple starts living together under the same roof, there are many issues to address and find agreement on: the style of the furniture, the color of the walls and, last but not least, the choice of the bed and mattress!

It’s important to decide to opt for two single beds or one king-size bed. If you can’t reach an agreement, it might help to discover the advantages of the king-size mattress.

King-size mattress: 3 Reasons to Choose It

This option is certainly the classic and most common one among couples because double beds offer:

Greater intimacy

Shared space with your partner

More comfort in every area of the bed (including the center)

In fact, if neither of you has specific needs and your sleeping habits match, the size of the King-size mattress allows for maximum comfort (you only have to make one bed!), but above all, it allows you to enjoy couple intimacy without obstacles!

When Two Single Beds Can Be Useful?

This option is used in very specific situations, typically when there are specific needs, usually related to health reasons, but not necessarily.

Two single beds can be the solution, for example, when one partner prefers to sleep on a soft mattress and the other needs a firm mattress, for back issues, for instance.

However, when using side-by-side mattresses, it’s important to ensure that their height is exactly the same to ensure a uniform sleeping surface, even if divided.

Another case, although somewhat limited, involves people who are particularly bothered by their partner’s movements, which cause vibrations: fortunately, this issue can easily be solved by purchasing a memory foam mattress, as this material provides good isolation from movements, preventing them from being transferred to the other side of the bed.

Two Single Beds or One Double Bed? How to Choose the Right Mattress

We’ve seen that double beds are definitely more advantageous for couples, and this is even more true today thanks to the quality of mattresses, which ensure comfort and restorative sleep, even for the most demanding people!

To choose a good mattress, it’s important to check that it has certain characteristics:

Thickness: this is an important feature because thicker products are made of multiple layers that are assumed to be functional. The most common thickness is 20 cm, but the best mattresses can go up to 25 cm.

Firmness: the prestigious journal The Lancet published the results of a study conducted in Spain, which showed that the best mattress, the one most suitable for treating (and preventing) back pain, has a medium firmness, even better if designed to adapt to the body’s shape. The firmness is determined by the design and materials used.

Composition: the most comfortable mattresses for the back (for everyone!) are those of the latest generation, with pocket springs and memory foam, which, thanks to their characteristics, adapt to the body’s shape, distribute weight, and provide a sensation of freshness and relaxation, provided they are well-designed and made with high-quality materials.

King-size beds that meet the needs of both partners certainly exist, and we recommend choosing those by Veradea, which are medically approved and can also be custom-made to meet all space requirements!
