7. Consider other bedroom furniture

Your bed is the main piece of furniture you need for your bedroom, but there are other furniture considerations to take into account as well. Nightstands, dressers, wardrobes, and vanity tables — these are all pieces you might choose to incorporate into your bedroom setup.

If you love an eclectic look, you may want to source all of these pieces separately, but if you want a coordinated blend across your bedroom, you might consider shopping from a single range to make sure everything matches in colour, detail, and style. For example, our readers have been head over heels for the gorgeous Mika and Clifford ranges.

8. Select the colour palette that suits

We’ve written a lot about colour theory and the best colours for your bedroom to help ensure a good night sleep, and while your colour palette choices may be mainly focused on your walls, carpet, and bedding, you can incorporate these shades into your bed choices as well.

A fabric upholstered or painted wood bed can come in a huge variety of hues that can match any design aesthetic and evoke a certain emotion or atmosphere in your bedroom. You might also choose a more neutral bed colour and let it simply complement your chosen colour palette and create a serene and synchronised look across your sleep space.

9. Pair it with the model mattress

As we said earlier, there’s no piece of bedroom furniture more important than beds and bed frames — except for your mattress. It doesn’t matter how stylish or chic the bed you buy is; you won’t get a good night’s sleep if you don’t have a good mattress. So when you’re buying a new bed, your mattress needs to be part of the equation.

You may not be needing to replace your bed and your mattress at the same time, but if you’re in the market for a new bed it’s definitely a good time to consider whether it might be time to upgrade your mattress as well. And you might also look at adding a mattress protector to extend the lifespan of a current or new mattress.

10. Set yourself up for sweet dreams
