The moment you decide to buy a new bed, you find yourself in a life-risk situation. Not being able to decide the perfect design for the furniture is one thing, but not being able to choose the perfect style of the wooden double cot is another. And the truth is that the latter decision seems to be more complicated than anything else.
So today, we will be discussing the major few categories of a double cot online based on their architecture and to some extent, on their functionalities.
Canopy And Poster Beds
This particular structure of a double cot represents the European medieval era very closely. In fact, if you visit the existing palaces in Europe, you will find these canopy or poster beds being displayed in museums or are still in use by the upper-class society. From the name itself you can guess that there will be four tall posts rising from the four corners of the bed. These beds usually have a footrest and a headrest, the latter having the greater height. In canopy beds, the four posts are further joined by a wooden rail at the top.
Ottomans Or Hydraulic Beds
If you are looking for functional double cots, the best design will be that of the ottomans. These are known as hydraulic beds since they function on the principle of a hydraulic press. You can lift the mattress panel of the cot to a certain extent and then support it by using the folding angles at the corners. The mattress panel will reveal the bed box which can be used to store different things, starting from spare objects to beddings and comforters.
Low Floor Beds
From the name, you will certainly have an idea about the architecture of the bed. This particular style of wooden double cot has a low floor structure, with negligible to almost no length of the legs supporting the framework of the bed. There are two major subcategories of the low floor beds:
- Platform beds where the mattress panel is extended from the framework edge in the outward direction.
- Hout beds are the ones where no footrest or headrest is present and all the four sides of the furniture are unguarded.
Upholstered Beds
This is a contemporary styled double cot which has a look of modularity but essence of tradition and old culture. The wooden framework of the bed is usually draped around by a velvet or cotton fabric. This is known as the upholstery and in some cases, the headrests are filled with soft cushion pads or foam filling to increase the comfort level of the bed.
Double Cot Included With Storage Drawers
Another type of double cot with storage is the one where you will find additional drawers included in the architecture of the bed itself. The drawers are arranged in different ways, like:
- Side drawers present on both sides
- Two adjacent side drawers occupying only a single side
- Front drawers, present either in a single piece or two in number
Trundle Beds
The last type of bed which we will be discussing today is the trundle beds. This design of a wooden double cot has a separate pull-in bed like a drawer which can be taken out from beneath the mainframe of the single bed.
Conclusion
Even though the overall architecture of the double cots will remain the same, the styles of their architecture are what make the major differences. For example, a Georgian bed and a French bed both have a traditional architecture but their styles are different. Similarly, there are many such categories and sub-categories based upon the architectural style of the beds which you can see in the market.
