New bed - what should I choose?
Which bed you choose depends on what you want from your bed and whether you have special problems or conditions that make your needs a little different from so many others. The typical things that Danes suffer from are back pain, headaches, pregnancy-related discomfort or generally poor sleep quality. Others, again, "just" want a good, sturdy bed at a good price.

Box mattress - a robust and affordable bed

Cheap box mattress - this box mattress is available for only 6.000 kr.
This bed is a cheap bed at the dealer Sengetid.dk. The box mattress is a good choice if you want a good standard bed that does not cost a fortune, but is still good Danish quality. The bed has two layers of springs, which provide a really good comfort than just one layer. The top layer is pocket springs with 5 comfort zones. The bottom layer is Bonell springs, which give the bed a good stability, so it does not sink in the middle. You can choose a firm or medium top mattress, depending on your weight. This is also a big plus for this box mattress.The top mattress comes with a washable cover. For the price you get a complete bed with optional top mattress, legs and delivery to the curb.
The bed is available in these sizes(cm): 80 x 200 - 90 x 200 - 120 x 200 - 140 x 200 -180 x 200
Continental bed - a bed with three layers of mattresses and good support
The continental bed design originated in the USA, but has gradually become a popular choice of bed in Denmark too. The bed is made up of three layers: a box mattress at the bottom, then a spring mattress and a top mattress on top. With the three layers you get a bed that is slightly higher than the bed height we know from the box mattress. This gives you a feeling of being "up out of bed" instead of "out of bed". The continental bed looks great in the bedroom because of its construction. Especially if you choose a model with a bed base. When in doubt about which bed can provide the best support for you, you should definitely take a closer look at the continental bed. On average, a continental bed costs around €20,000, but you can often find it on offer at a significantly lower price at Better Nights.

Elevation bed - if you want different resting positions
If you like to read or watch TV in bed, you'll probably get a lot out of a lift bed. If you suffer from back pain or aching legs, an elevating bed can reduce your pain. Pregnant women are another large group that can benefit greatly from an elevating bed, as raised headboards and legs can relieve both heartburn and water retention.
Elevating beds are available in many price ranges and qualities. However, if you are considering an elevation bed, it is important to keep in mind that just because a bed has elevation, it is not necessarily the best bed for you. Unfortunately, there are many bad elevation beds out there where the mattress is not necessarily suitable for different positions. What determines the price of an elevation bed is the top mattress. It should be made to be in different levels. Next, the motor and the size of the bed and other details also have a big impact on the price.
