Whether you’ve got a bedroom that’s on the smaller side, are looking for a multi-purpose guest room bed, or are living with your parents, there are plenty of reasons for adults to have a single bed.
Single beds aren’t associated with hostels and bedsits in the same way that they used to be thanks to the rise in popularity of living alone. Now, many are seeing the benefits of single beds for adults, which we’ve outlined below and read more in Why buy a single bed frame?
Are Single Beds Suitable for Adults?
Although typically used for children and teens, single beds aren’t limited to these age groups. Many adults find that single beds work best for them, dependant on the size of their bedroom and their specific circumstances.
For example, adults living alone who have smaller bedrooms might find that a single bed with storage, like one of our single ottoman storage beds or space savers, is ideal for them. A rise in solo living over recent years has seen an increase in popularity for single beds for adults. The independence is attractive to many, but with it often comes less space, making single beds ideal.
Can I Have a Single Bed in a Guest Bedroom?
Guest bedrooms are actually one of the most suitable places for an adult single bed. For multipurpose rooms in particular, like home offices or playrooms, day beds are a fantastic option for an easy-access, single bed for adults when you have a guest staying the night.
Our Modern Ohio Day Bed, for example, is sleek and versatile, acting as a sofa during the day while also providing a comfortable place for visitors to sleep at night. Checkout our piece titled, best beds for a small guestroom for more ideas on to ensure your guests sleep tight.
Can Couples Sleep in a Single Bed?
We wouldn’t recommend sharing a single bed, but depending on how you and your partner sleep, two separate beds could be a better option than sharing a larger frame. Sleeping separately puts a stop to one partner stealing the blanket, or if your partner moves around a lot, it could help you avoid an accidental whack to the face during the night.
If you’d rather share your bed, however, small double bed frames and double bed frames are ideal for couples working with less space. You could even opt for one of our adjustable beds, so that you and your partner can each set your own side of the bed to your preferred sleeping position.
