People spend up to a third of their life sleeping, and even more of their time in their bedroom. Sleeping on a quality mattress helps a lot, but too many people neglect to consider their frame. A flimsy or poorly made bed frame not only looks bad, it can also affect your quality of sleep. There are three main ways your frame affects the way you sleep:
- Noise – a creaky frame can keep you up for hours, especially if you’re restless and tend to toss and turn at night, making yet more noise to keep you up
- Stability – many people struggle to drift off when the world keeps shifting underneath them, such as when their frame is poorly assembled. Anyone who has ever tried to read at night without a headboard can also attest to how frustrating it is when your back winds up pushing the frame out from the wall.
- Support – the heavier weight of newer mattresses means you need a frame that can bear a heavier load without strain.
In addition to providing better support and improving rest, solid wood bedroom furniture has always been a sign of good taste, prestige, and quality. Materials like oak, cherry, and pine are extremely attractive features in any home, especially after being in the hands of talented craftsmen. Imagine the deep grains, real knots, and warm reddish-brown finish decorating your home. If you work with a custom maker, you will have a variety of materials and stains to choose from, and it will fit almost every interior design scheme. Homeowners in Toronto have the benefit of visiting Woodcraft, one of Canada’s longstanding custom furniture makers, although they also deliver across North America.
Wood that is properly cared for can last for hundreds of years, passing from one generation to the next as heirlooms. While day-to-day care and maintenance are quite simple, with time, age, moves, and life, furniture inevitably becomes scratched and dented. An experienced craftsman can refinish anything and make it look as good as new, although companies like Woodcraft also appreciate that sometimes age gives a piece character. They will refinish your set to your instructions, even down to preserving dents or scratches that have sentimental value – a family story attached to them. It is also important to thoroughly research the manufacturer of the furniture, as quality is always king.
