Modern Single Bed Design for Compact Rooms

Living in a small apartment or 1 BHK means coming up with clever ideas to furnish your home. When your bedroom doubles up as your home office, vanity van, and the place where you sleep at night, organising the space becomes your number one priority.

As you browse through our catalogue, you’ll find the most lavish double beds. While we ensure that all our designs are nothing short of warm and comfortable, it obviously goes unsaid that every room needs a different kind of bed arrangement. So, even though the most royal bed frames might look stunning in home decor blogs, you might wanna think twice before making that purchase.

Confined spaces call for single bed frames. And at IKEA, our single beds collection from our furniture range can give you sound sleep at night, and look lovely all throughout the day. You can find the most appropriate fit by selecting a single bed frame that matches the rest of your bedroom decor.

Single Beds are Perfect for Teenagers and Siblings

In India, almost everyone has gone through the experience of sharing a room with their siblings. And while occasional fights are a part and parcel of this beautiful relationship, the joy of sharing a room is unparalleled. Summertime masti, unforgettable sleepovers, or meaningful conversations at night, much of this happens right here.

Separate beds are always a good choice for shared bedrooms. When placed right by the walls, it leaves plenty of floor space for other furniture. Growing up, most kids like having their own beds even when sharing a room with their siblings. It makes them feel independent. Our single beds offer privacy that is much needed in shared spaces. This is a feature that is well suited even for the elderly who need a nightstand right next to the bed. It also becomes easier for them to get in and out of the bed without much effort.

Sleeping in your own bed is a luxury in itself. When you pair it with the right bedding range that includes soft pillows, snuggly blankets, and a foam mattress, it’s only a matter of time before your cot becomes your best friend. From our bed collection, you can have lots of fun creating your bed aesthetic. Just match the bed frame, mattress, covers, and spreads by complementing their colour, patterns, and textures. Or, you can mix it all up and go for something unconventional.

How to Choose the Right Single Bed

Before you bring home the bed of your dreams, there are some things you need to consider before buying a single bed.

The right size

Before you buy a single bed online, it is better to know its measurements. You don’t want to buy a bed simply on the basis of how it looks and feels. If it doesn’t fit inside your room or isn’t ideal for your body size, all your money will go down the drain.

The standard size of a single bed frame is 3 feet by 6 feet 3 inches (3' x 6'3"). These dimensions of 90 cm width and 190 cm length are suitable for adults. It is also the best choice for growing children since it accommodates their growing bodies.

Our single-bed mattresses merge seamlessly with a single bed frame. Neither too soft nor too firm, these magical mattresses make sure that you never have to compromise on healthy sleep. Foam mattresses are an especially brilliant innovation. They are dust mite-repellant, and easy to wash. Since this type of mattress moulds into your shape, it offers your body the support it needs when you sleep. And when you wake up the next day, your back and neck muscles will thank you.

The right material

The feel of a single bed lies in the material that it's made of. What’s more, is that it also determines its durability. Sustainable choices go a long way in saving you money, time, and effort. IKEA lets you choose a bed base in a material that you fancy.

If you are looking for something traditional, a wooden single bed will be the perfect addition to your room. Wood has a vintage appeal and always looks classy when paired with the right stuff. Our single bed frames in wood have an irresistible charm that stands out from the rest. A wooden single cot also works as a sofa and gives you the flexibility of using it any way you want to.

Other single beds at IKEA include the ones made with powder-coated steel and metal. These materials are rarely affected by weather changes and have incredible robustness. And on the plus side, bedbugs don’t prefer cool metallic surfaces, saving you from an unwanted insect attack on your sleeping area.

The right style

Who says that a tiny bedroom cannot have a jaw-dropping aesthetic? In fact, when you have limited space, it gives you all the more freedom to get creative. It’s a great way of getting in touch with your artistic side and creating a zone that makes you happy.

When you don’t have the budget for a start to end bedroom makeover, you can enhance the interiors with attractive bedding. IKEA’s range of diwan beds have a solid base and built-in storage. The best part of a  modern single diwan bed is that it has the same length and width as the mattress, keeping the design compact and suitable for any room size.

Our divan beds are made with a simplistic approach that adds elegance to the room. The softness of a headboard complements the comfort of this bed range.

Everyone has a different preference when it comes to colour palettes and style. We know that your bed is the most important piece of furniture in your room. That’s why all our designs are distinct and have a striking appeal. Be it dark colours like brown and back that add depth to the room, or subtle shades like beige, white, and grey that make for a minimalistic appearance, you can choose a model that matches your taste and lasts for years to come.

Maximizing Your Space: The Many Advantages of Single Beds

Easy cleaning

When you live in your apartment all alone, cleaning it can be really exhausting. After a long day of work, and cooking a meal for yourself, all you want to do is probably fall on your soft mattress and doze off. But when you come home to an unkempt bed and creased blankets, that beauty sleep that you were longing for is all but gone.

A small single bed is easier to clean than a double bed. You can dust it with a cloth/vacuum cleaner and toss the sheets in the washing machine every once in a while. Coffee stains or crumbs of potato chips, nothing can ruin your precious mattress. A lightweight mattress is easier to handle and store, giving you the freedom to place it anywhere inside your house.

If you opt for a single bed frame that doesn’t come with underbed storage, you can sweep the area underneath without any hassle. In the absence of dirt and cobwebs, you can sleep peacefully without the risk of catching dust allergies.

Underbed Compartments for Extra Storage

Maximising storage inside your house can be a very trying task. It is not practical to dedicate an entire room for storage, especially when there are space constraints. While cupboards, shelves, and wall cabinets add a symmetric touch to your interior decor, sometimes you just have to come up with quirky ideas to arrange your things without making additional furniture purchases.

A single bed with storage is undoubtedly one of the most effective ways of buying yourself this extra space without making your room look crowded. IKEA’s bed frames come with multiple drawers to help you keep everything from your old books and blankets to toys, utensils, and stationery. These compartments are large enough to accommodate several items and are extremely sturdy. This means no creaking sound of a wooden plank keeping you awake through the night.

If you don’t want to opt for a single bed design with a box, there’s still the opportunity to use all that floor space to give your room a more organised and tidy look. At IKEA, you can find boxes and containers with lids, along with storage crates. These space-saving tricks are also affordable and blend perfectly with the rest of your bedding range.

Affordable and Accessible Single Bed Designs

It is not always reasonable to splurge all your savings on the interior design of your house. But your bedroom is the most comfortable zone of your house. And when at night you want to hit the hay, all you want is a bed that feels like a warm hug. We want everyone to enjoy this feeling irrespective of their budget, home size, and even when you are living alone. The bedding range from IKEA is all about keeping things economical and multifunctional.

Our single bed frames are of excellent quality no matter what their price. If you’re looking for a single bed under 5000, you’ve come to just the right place. These frames are made with powder-coated steel or wood and have plenty of room under the bed that can be used as additional storage space. Some of the medium-cost products have headboards that are much needed for some light reading by the bed lamp.

The best single beds at IKEA have underbed compartments. With soft corners and edges, you won’t run the risk of stubbing your toe on the bed. These styles may seem expensive at first but are highly convenient in the long run.

Joining Two Single Beds for a Bigger Bed

Every now and then, you might want to hit the snooze button and lie on your bed a little longer in the morning. The joy of tossing and turning in your sleep on a huge mattress is unparalleled. For that, a single bed might not be enough. But there’s still a way to make a temporary bigger bed using two single bed frames. And when you wish to go back to your regular bed size, you can just separate the two once again.

A bigger size bed is no doubt the most comfortable bed. But if you don’t have the space or the budget for it, we have the solutions for you. By combining two single bed frames, you can enjoy the grandeur of a royal bed.

When you invest in a double bed without taking into consideration your room dimensions, it can end up looking chaotic. But single beds have the advantage of being positioned right by the walls, giving a well-balanced, uniform look to the area.
