Extra Long Beds: For a Comfortable Night's Sleep
If you find standard-sized beds a bit too short for comfort, extra long beds offer the perfect solution. Designed to provide additional length, these beds ensure that taller individuals can stretch out fully and enjoy a restful night's sleep. Available in various sizes, including extra long single and extra long double, these beds are ideal for anyone looking to maximise comfort without compromising on style. Let’s explore the benefits of extra long beds, the sizes they come in, and the customisable options available to suit your needs.
Available Sizes: Extra Long Single and Extra Long Double
Extra long beds are available in both single and double sizes, with options for different lengths to suit your needs:
- Extra Long Single: Typically measuring 90cm wide, extra long single beds are available in two lengths: 200cm and 206cm. This provides an additional 10cm or 16cm compared to a standard single bed, making them perfect for individual sleepers who need that extra bit of legroom.
- Extra Long Double: The extra long double bed, measuring 135cm wide, is also available in lengths of 200cm and 206cm. This size offers the same length benefits with added width, making it ideal for couples or individuals who like a bit more space. The extra length ensures maximum comfort for taller sleepers.
Customisable Options for Your Extra Long Bed
At Archers Sleepcentre, we understand that every bedroom is unique, and so are your needs. That’s why we offer a range of customisable options for your extra long bed:
- Fabric Choices: Choose from a wide selection of fabrics to match your bedroom decor. Whether you prefer a soft, cosy fabric or something more sleek and modern, we have options to suit every style.
- Drawer Storage: Maximise your storage space with built-in drawers. Extra long beds with drawer storage are a practical solution for smaller bedrooms, offering additional space to store bedding, clothes, or other items.
- Headboard Options: Customise your bed with a headboard that complements your style. From minimalist designs to more elaborate, upholstered options, you can create a bed that’s not only comfortable but also visually appealing.
Using Regular Bedding with Extra Long Beds
One common concern with extra long beds is finding suitable bedding. The good news is that regular bedding can often be adapted to fit these beds. Here’s how:
- Fitted Sheets: When purchasing fitted sheets, look for options that are labelled as suitable for longer mattresses, or opt for deep-pocket sheets that can accommodate the extra length.
- Duvets and Covers: A standard double duvet can still be used on an extra long double bed, although you may prefer to choose a king-size duvet for more coverage. Similarly, a single duvet works well on an extra long single bed.
- Pillows: The length of the bed doesn’t affect pillow size, so you can continue using your favourite pillows and pillowcases without any issues.
Caring for Your New Extra Long Bed
To ensure your extra long bed remains in top condition, follow these care tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum your mattress regularly to remove dust and allergens. If your bed has a fabric base or headboard, a gentle vacuuming can help keep it looking fresh.
- Mattress Rotation: Rotate your mattress every few months to ensure even wear. If the mattress is double sided then it should also be flipped.
- Drawer Maintenance: If your bed includes drawers, check the runners and mechanisms periodically to ensure they are operating smoothly. Keep the drawers clean and avoid overloading them to prevent strain on the structure.
- Fabric Care: If your bed is upholstered, spot clean any stains with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric.
