There are many opinions on how to choose a bed, but the most important thing is to grasp one principle: it is to be heavy and stable enough.
Because everyone will turn around on the bed, whether it is for 8 hours or 8 minutes; sometimes, "strength exercise" occurs in the bed, such as children will jump around on the bed^^, so a solid bed is very important, otherwise, it will shake and disturb others, and you will still sleep uneasy. Therefore, when buying a bed, it is necessary to shake and lift it. It depends on whether the bed is heavy and stable enough.
When I was young, I had no money, so I bought an iron bed frame. Cheap was the only consideration at that time, and it was up to oneself to assemble it. Sure enough, I had to replace it after a year. It really doesn’t work. It’s too light and easy to shake. Problems such as loosening of the screws occur frequently after using it for a period of time!
Later I bought a self-contained solid wood bed, and it was finally relatively stable and no longer shaking. After sleeping in this bed for several years, one day, there was a "bang" under the bed one day (I was lying on the bed in a regular manner at that time). I was shocked and checked and found that the part of the structural column under the bed was broken. Oh my God, the 6 cm diameter cylinder broke like this. Fortunately, the store has a conscience and replaces new pillars for free. I asked the repairman and said that there was a joint in the middle of the pillar. The part of the joint has been damp in recent years, and the load-bearing capacity has become worse, so it was broken.
also introduces some scam sales tactics
The following are common sales traps at present. Sometimes the store owners have no intention of cheating, but there are often front-line businesses talking nonsense. The most common ones are teak stores chain stores, customized furniture stores, and many of them are well-known brands.
1. "Our company's beds are made of solid wood":
The most common lie I hear is this. But in fact, most of the solid wood beds currently have only the structure of solid wood, and the structure refers to the frame and foot of the bed. Most of the headboards of the solid wood beds are also solid wood, but the parts without load-bearing side panels and bottom panels are made of density boards.
Then how to distinguish between solid wood and density board?
In the furniture market, sales staff often talk about leather veneer boards as solid wood. What is the difference between leather veneer and solid wood furniture? Is it true that solid wood must be good, and veneer must be bad? It cannot be said that, it depends on how we define "good" and how we praise it. Basically, under the premise of a certain working quality, I personally think both are good, and it is suitable for the budget, which is good.
First, let’s talk about the physical differences between solid wood and veneer
First, there are differences in wood grades. For example, birch skin, inside it is a mixed wood board. The veneer is usually a better wood type on the outside, but the inner one is made of wood core board or wood plyboard or fiberboard or particleboard . "None of them are a whole piece of solid wood". The cost is much lower, but the structural force and weight bearing capacity are worse than solid wood.
, but is it "bad to apply skin?"
, either. The above matte furniture only has enough support at the structure, and uses matte skin on the desktop or where there is no support (such as the bed side panel). Instead, it has many advantages and allows us to buy wooden furniture that looks good, is relatively cheap and easy to use.
is just that the texture is still poor. The wood grain of the whole piece of solid wood is unique, but the skin is not necessarily palette. There are many materials for veneers. Plastic veneers are printed and the patterns will be repeated; artificial solid wood veneers are made of solid wood, but the patterns will be repeated; natural solid wood veneers are close to solid wood grain and will not be repeated.
But it is definitely the best if it is not solid wood? No, because solid wood is too easy to deform, it is difficult to find large solid wood tables in China that can be used to control moisture content and leave the factory. If the paint is not well treated, it will be easy to deform. From a global perspective, the humidity and moisture content standards are different in different places. If solid wood furniture is ready to be delivered to Asia in Europe, the deformation rate will be very high.Therefore, a very well-known European brand also produces leather furniture, but of course, a dining table worth more than 200,000 yuan, the leather quality is of course different. Solid wood also has flowers, and the wood grain is specially selected for all straight grains.
So based on the above points, the material is solid wood, which is not necessarily easier to use than the leather-made workmanship. It depends on what kind of solid wood is used, and it also depends on which leather-made material is used, and the process of manufacturing.
is just a solid wood species with good craftsmanship, with a nostalgic touch. Some species have a faint and pleasant aroma, while others have a visual enjoyment when looking at their wood grain. The above are indeed not available in leather furniture.
How do you think it is solid wood or veneer?
* Look at the side section of the sheet material, the wood grains are connected to each other and are solid wood. But it is necessary to look at the side corners of nearly 90 degrees. Some furniture will be rounded (cavities) at the corners, so the patch can be pasted. At this time, you should check whether the wood grain at the bottom is also connected.
The wood grain on the bed column faces upwards and continues to both sides. The wood grain has no breakpoints and is continuous, which means that this is a solid wood, not just a surface covered with wood vase. At a folding angle of nearly 90 degrees, if the wood grain cannot be connected, it will be skin-covered. As follows
This is the edge seal of particleboard, similar to wood grain, but there will be no solid wood grain connection.
This is the wooden heart board clipboard, and the wood grain will break at the corner. And there are cracks at the corners.
* Each piece of solid wood has different grains, and the skin-skinned ones will be repeated (plastic skin), but if it is solid wood skin-skinned ones, the patterns will not be repeated, but there will be gaps at the corners.
This is a solid wood (Myanmar teak ) panel table, and each piece of panel wood grain is different.
This is a leather-on-skin, a plastic printing leather-on-skin, so the colors will be repeated.
This is solid wood veneer, the colors will not repeat, but there will be edges at the corners. Pure solid wood will not have any seams.
The easiest way is: the wood grain of solid wood will be connected at the turning point, and the density board will not. If you still don’t know how to read it, it doesn’t matter. Just write the words “This bed is made of 100% solid wood” on the purchase order. If you find something wrong in the future, you can complain.
2. This bed is made of teak.
Teawood furniture is a wood that many people like, but many people produce fake products. Fake teak is not encountered in teak chain stores. What we often encounter is the "first point", that is, the part is not stated as a leather sheet; on the contrary, fake teak often occurs in customized furniture stores. Some are replaced by African teak. Although non-pime has no oil, its structural strength is very good. There are also those who use fir to dye teak, or those who use sand pomelo to mix fish with beads. Anyway, ordinary people cannot tell what teak is (you can refer to determine whether teak furniture is authentic or not).
The bed made of fake teak is indeed solid wood, and most of them are very heavy. In fact, if you choose wood that is not easy to insect-eating, it is better to use a bed with density board in structure than a bed. Usually, the store will not charge too much for such a bed. How to determine whether it is a teak bed? This is difficult, and the price can be slightly differentiated, but it does not mean that the correct price must be a regular teak. Usually, a 1.8*2m solid wood bed with full teak (the teak grade is the basic style), simple shape (that is, there are not many materials), and an ribs skeleton is included. The actual purchase price (that is, after the discount) is about 6,000-8,000 yuan.
Note: All solid wood is not necessarily good
Under the principle of "weight" priority of the bed, the bed with a solid wood structure dense board is also very good, and it does not necessarily have to be all solid wood; of course, if you have a budget, it is definitely the best for all solid wood.
Most of the beds have solid wood structures, and the side panels or bases will be replaced because they can reduce deformation. The furniture is not necessarily made of dry solid wood, so if the flat area is too large, it will easily deform. Therefore, the side panels and bottom panels can be replaced by wooden heart panels or dense panels.
In fact, many well-known foreign brands of bed frames do not use all solid wood. One of the reasons is that the humidity is different in each place, and solid wood is too easy to get out of the bag. The structure of other wood sheets using side panels and bottom panels is relatively stable and cheaper. Of course, it is also very good to make some dry solid wood.
My principle for choosing furniture is this, "Find the best among your own budget and needs." Instead, I don't recommend pursuing the best of everything, unless the money you have in your pocket is really enough to hold on!
Also, you should pay attention to the base plate when buying a bed
After listening to the trap of the material, you should also pay attention to the base plate of the bed. This is very important. Currently, the bed base is mostly made of two forms: ribs frame and whole wooden board. If your house has a separate mattress, you must buy a "whole piece of wooden board", because the ribs are equipped with independent mattresses, and the problem of springs stuck in the cracks has occurred.
Of course, if you buy a rib skeleton, please pay attention to the following: 1. If it is made of solid wood, check that there is no dead joint in the middle, otherwise, the same tragedy will happen like my home; 2. The gap should not be too large, 3. The thickness should not be too thin, and it is not recommended to buy it if it is less than 1 cm.
Second: Assembly method and coating
Assembly method and bed height
Bed assembly method is best for the tenon-locking technique, but if it is fixed with screws, as long as the screw is a long screw, it is OK; be careful that some will "look like a tenon-locking," but in fact it is still fixed by the screw.
Other bed height, consider the height of the mattress. The two should not add up too high, it is best not to exceed your personal knees, otherwise it will be difficult to "get into bed". If you want to have a storage space under the bed, you must also make sure that the height under the bed can be stuffed into the storage box, at least 15 cm or more. However, if you are picking a bed for the elderly and children, the overall height of the bed plus a mattress should be lower. In addition to being easy to go to bed, it will not be too serious if you accidentally fall down the bed.
coating technology
Some netizens asked: Why are all teak wood? The color I bought is yellower, which is different from what I bought before?
This is related to the painted paint. Then whether this looks good or not is a matter of opinion. Good paintings are made of natural paint, which is not harmful to the human body. The quality of the painting also affects the price.
We can also see the quality of the material selection from the coating. Usually, those who choose good wood will choose thin coating. Thin coating means that you can touch the original texture of the vase. The surface is not that smooth and a little thick. The wood still has pores and can breathe. There are two possibilities for
that are very smooth to the touch, one is to apply bright paint. Also known as transparent paint, this kind of paint can cover the pores of wood, so the wood will not have the problem of color absorption, and the surface is smooth. This method still occupies a place in the market; the other is thick coating, which is more labor-intensive and expensive to apply for more than 10 layers. However, among affordable furniture, 90% is the former.
It is better to change the bed sheet if you don’t have a bed end
My current bed now has a bed tail panel, and it is very troublesome to change the bed sheet every time, so people who have the same troubles can choose this kind of bed without a bed end slab, so there is no need to lift the mattress when changing the bed sheet.
This requires lifting the mattress before changing the sheets, which is very troublesome
Third: Understand the material of each brand of bed frame
The above is mainly Asian bed frames; but if you buy American bed frames, it is another criterion for judgment. Americans buy mattresses and are used to buying both upper and lower mats. Unlike our habits, no one is good or bad. Just like our staple food is rice, they are meat, and cultural relations, we definitely don’t buy mats more quality, or it’s easier to sleep if you buy mats (at most, you just feel different when you sleep). These are the marketing techniques of the operators.
Therefore, the design of American bed frames requires the mattress to be lowered. There is no rib skeleton designed on the bottom of the bed, but mostly 3 slabs (up to 5 slabs). Please don’t think this is cutting corners; in addition, bed frames are not popular with solid wood (only structural materials), but mostly leather density boards. It states that the density boards are not bad. They do not have the problem of thermal expansion and contraction of solid wood, and the surface is flat, so more designs can be made.
By the way, the following two brands
Shiken Teak Bed Frame Material
Frame structure are both teak solid wood bed frames, the ribs frame are made of birch wood, and the side panels are made of leather.
Excellent bed frame material
Solid wood bed frame with teak and ash. Made of all solid wood. The base plate is two pieces of wooden boards, and a nine-cluster grid is added below.
