Buyer's Guide

7 Things to Check Before Buying a Bed

Most beds look great in photos. These seven checks tell you whether one will hold up in your bedroom, and how the Lorvex does on each.

A bed's support is hidden under the mattress, which is why you can't judge one from a photo. Before you buy any bed, ours included, run it through these seven checks.

The seven checks

Check 1 of 7

What's holding the mattress up?

The support sits under the mattress where you can't see it, so ask what's there. Look for a centre rail with its own legs and plenty of slats. Too few, and the middle starts to dip.

Lorvex 24 metal slats on a metal frame, with a centre rail and its own support legs.

What happens under the bed?

The space under a bed on legs collects dust and whatever gets pushed there, and it's awkward to clean. A base that reaches the floor closes that space off.

Lorvex The base is set back from the edge, so the bed looks like it floats, and it reaches the floor, so nothing ends up underneath.

What are the edges like?

You'll walk past this bed in the dark for years. Hard corners and exposed legs are where shins and toes get caught.

Does it need a wall?

Some beds stand anywhere in the room. Others are designed with the headboard against a wall. Know which you're buying before you plan the room.

Where does your phone go?

With a low bed, think about where your phone, book and water will sit. Somewhere level with the mattress is easiest.

Can you try it at home first?

A bed is hard to judge until you've slept on it. Look for a home trial, in writing.
