When custom size beds may be needed

Difficult Stairways

There are various reasons why you may options for a custom size beds after you have decided to order bed online, customers are often stuck when deciding sizes and design for beds. The main issue customers often face are difficult and narrow stairways. When houses are built bedrooms may be sized at a reasonable circumference however stairways are rarely thought about says

Natasha Brinsmead Homebuilding & Renovating’s Associate Editor
explains that size of staircase should be given a lot of importance however this is overlooked when sketching your new home stairways and much more importance is given to the design and aesthetics. Homeowners only come to the realization when ordering a bed for instance that isn’t the high street ready-made flat pack bed.

Customers kick themselves when we have to break It to them that the UK standard sizes they want will simply not fit up the stairs. Many a time (unfortunately) customers have been interested in a particular bed size however often getting stuck and having to opt for a smaller-sized bed, in a design that they don’t really want.

But here at Elite Beds Company, we are able to offer a custom size beds with bed size Guide. Which means we provide a size that you need not compromising style or quality, at times some customers only need a few centimeters taken off for the bed frame to be taken to their chosen room, and our team can do that for them. When stairways are not the issue we have seen people face the issue of trying to get a bed into a small space or an area which is not the standard shape.

Small spaces

In the UK the average house size is relatively small at 76 m² – With smaller rooms or apartment style areas being used to add in beds and mattresses it often means that we may not be able to find a bed that will fit into some difficult spaces, where some rooms have difficulty being accessed into with a larger bed, other areas are shaped irregularly and this means a standard size and shape of the bed will simply not fit. Before you part ways with your hard-earned money and gamble going with a standard size bed. It may be time to consider a custom size bed.

Custom Size Beds

Custom size bed mean you’re able to choose the specific size of the bed, what materials are used, the choice of fabric will be yours and you can even design you own headboard style. Being able to design your mattress the way you want, choosing the level of comfort you require, being able to have a custom fabric added to your mattress will make it worthwhile as it will be a fully custom-made bespoke piece that no one else will have in their homes.
