Question about beds ...

another_casualty

Howdy !
I'm going through a major declutter , and last week a friend of mine suggested getting an ottoman bed . I have a kingsize bed and was thinking the logical thing would be to downsize to a double .
Living on my own etc.
My current bed is metal ,and has room to store things underneath which I have been doing .
So after a look around , I went into one of the well known places and had a chat with one of the sales assistants . Nice guy . No probs there

Now here's the thing that got me thinking ...
I was shown a few beds but what the chap did mention is that with ottomans you don't get the ventilation of the normal beds .
This pricked my ears up, as my bedroom is wooden floors Victorian flat and is a condensation risk . I have a dehumidifier .

I was going to buy a bed that's not an ottoman and almost pulled the trigger . He said that I could get large containers for underneath the bed and that there is breathing space .

I'm thinking now , should I just keep the kingsize I have and get a few of those drawer type containers instead .?
When I moved , I bought a new mattress 2 years ago .

Is there really that much more difference room wise between a single and double ?

Trying to get organised can be a pain

Thanks

Unless you need a strip of space a foot wide just keep the bed you have.

Lot of money to change frame mattress and bedding.

You need 1 bed size only matters if you need the space.

Even then as you only use one side you can put it up against a wall.

Would you decluter by downsizing a large TV to a small one?

I've only ever had one divan type bed with drawers under, never again. The salesman is quite correct, air flow around the mattress is poor and if you are prone to condensation best avoided.

Stick with your bedstead and tidy it up with some under-bed drawers. You can get some nice wooden ones on wheels that would be a darn sight cheaper than a new bed, matress and bedding for the sake of 6" of extra floor space!
