A bed ( listen (help·info)) is a piece of furniture (or a location) used as a place to sleep, and as a primary place for relaxation and sexual activity.
To make beds more comfortable, mattresses are usually placed on top of them. The second layer is the box spring Inner-sprung Base. The box spring or "divan" is a large mattress-sized box containing wood and springs that provide additional support and suspension for the mattress.
The box spring will typically lie on a bed frame(which lifts the mattress/mattress-box spring off the ground) or on slats (usually made of 2" x 4" wood).
A "headboard", "side rails", and "footboard" or "front rail" will complete the bed.
"Headboard only" beds often incorporate a dust ruffle, bed skirt, or valance sheet to hide the bed frame.
For greater head support, most people use a pillow, placed at the top of a mattress. Also used is some form of covering blanket to insulate the sleeper, often bed sheets, a quilt, or a duvet.
Also, some people prefer to dispense with the box spring and bed frame, and replace it with a platform bed style. This is more common in Europe and Japan.
Bed sizes
Beds come in a wide array of shapes and sizes. Most countries have a standard set of four sizes of mattresses. While the Double size appears to be standard among English speaking countries, based on the imperial measurement of 4 ft 6 in by 6 ft 3 in, the sizes for other bed types tend to vary. The European sizes differ; they are based on the metric system.
A king-sized bed differs from the other sizes in implementation, as it is not common to have a king-sized box spring; rather, two smaller box-springs are used under a king-sized mattress. It is a common misconception that on a U.S. Standard or Eastern King, the box springs are identical in size to a Twin Extra-Long, however Twin Extra-Long mattresses next to each other add up to 78 inches wide instead of the 76 inch width that is standard for an Eastern King.
Standard sizes
Modern manufacturing conventions have resulted in a limited number of standard sizes of commercial bedding for mattresses and box springs. They vary by country of origin.
