The bed has several comfort zones that relieve your body when lying in bed. Inside the mattress there are good and relieving pocket springs, which are the best to support the body, in the right way depending on whether you lie on your side or on your back. You can also buy sheets on the site for just 89 kroner.

To quickly explain how a continental bed differs from e.g. a box mattress, it is the structure of the bed itself. A continental bed consists of three layers, with a box mattress at the bottom, then a spring mattress and finally a top mattress to complete the comfort. The three layers enhance the sleeping experience and this is probably the main reason why a continental bed has become increasingly popular in recent years and can be found in many Danish homes. Besides, with a continental bed you get a bed that looks good, and looks nice in the home bedroom.

The three layers also mean that a continental bed is higher than other beds, giving you the feeling of being "out of bed" rather than "in bed". That means a lot more than most people expect. Several people have found that they get a better sleep experience when they are slightly higher up. A continental bed will make you feel like a king or queen.

What distinguishes a continental bed from a box mattress is the three layers that make up the bed. So when you sleep in a continental bed, you get the support of three layers. What you need to make sure of when buying a continental bed is that all three layers are of good quality. Unfortunately, you often see that the bottom layer has been cut and the bed can therefore be sold at a very cheap price. In general, price and quality are linked when looking at beds.

On this page, we've taken a look at the best continental beds. A continental bed has become increasingly popular in recent years and is now found in many Danish homes. That's because these beds look great in the home. In addition, they have a really good comfort due to their construction of three layers. See our picks for the best continental beds here.

If, based on the above description of the continental bed, you are considering investing in one, you should of course make sure that you find the bed that suits you best.

Because of our sleeping habits, weight and personal style, it's a good idea to do some research before you buy a bed. That's why we've chosen to write about how to choose the best bed for you and how to avoid the typical pitfalls when it comes to choosing the best bed.

Find the best mattress

One of the most important things when choosing a bed is the mattress. When we talk about continental beds, there are, as mentioned, three mattresses you should pay attention to. In particular, you need to pay attention to the quality of the bottom mattress. Unfortunately, the bottom mattress is sometimes skimped on, and in some cases the bottom part is just a wooden frame, which unfortunately does not provide the support that you want from a good continental bed. See our suggestions for good continental beds further down in the text or click here. When choosing a mattress, first of all pay attention to the firmness of the mattress.

The right firmness of the mattress

When it comes to finding the right firmness for your mattress, the spring mattress is the one to focus on. Unfortunately, many Danes end up choosing a mattress that is too soft, which results in many aching shoulders and neck pain. Most people who try out a bed in physical stores often choose one that is comfortable to lie on for 5-10 minutes. But in reality, there is a big difference between that and lying there for a whole night. In fact, the mattress should be too hard rather than too soft to provide the best support. Fortunately, there is a relatively simple formula that you can go by when buying a bed online.

Depending on your weight, you should choose a mattress that suits you. Obviously, the lighter you are, the less pressure there will be on the mattress. Therefore, if you weigh less than 75 kg, the mattress should be slightly softer than if you weigh more. Choosing a mattress can be difficult if your weight is right on the limit, i.e. exactly or just around 75 kg. In this case, you should contact the store and ask for advice. Immediately they say that the mattress should be too hard rather than too soft. Should you be unlucky and still end up with the wrong firmness, e.g. Better Nights will exchange the firmness for a fee of 499 DKK.
