Round Beds Buying Guide
Remember the huge spinning bed from the movie Austin Powers? Would you want that in your home? It will cost some fortune. But if you have space in your house and would want a different kind of bed, it is probably worth it.
What is a Round Bed?
A round bed is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a bed shaped like a circle instead of the usual rectangular or square shapes. The mattress can be circular or rectangular, but the bed has to be circular.
So, why buy a round bed? They are luxurious. No one buys a round bed because it’s the cheapest bed around. An average round bed can cost in the upwards of $1000. The cheapest good-quality round beds cost $500-600, and they are also small in sizes.
Because they are circular shaped, the only space where you can sleep comfortably is at the center. Where you would place a conventional bed and have plenty of space in the room, round beds eats up a lot of space.
As you would expect, not everyone thinks round beds are worth buying. They are expensive. They take up a lot of space and are impractical for most families. But as we already mentioned, people buy round beds for their exquisite designs.
Top Sites to Buy Round Beds
If you have the space to accommodate a round bed, find a good bed. Pick an elegantly designed bed that rhymes with your interior décor seamlessly. Here’s where to find the best circle beds.
Wayfair
Few shopping sites offer better deals than Wayfair. While others charge in excess of $1500 for a regular queen-sized bed, you can find great deals from $700 on Wayfair. Shipping is free of charge throughout the US, and the bed is delivered within two days.
Most of Wayfair’s round beds are accompanied by rectangular mattresses for practicality reasons. So, if you want a round bed for your master bedroom, you don’t have to feel afraid it may be uncomfortable for two people.
Besides free shipping, Wayfair’s progressive return policies ensure you can return your round bed if it’s faulty upon arrival. You also don’t have to pay the full amount up front. Simply register for the company’s 12-month pay program and pay in installments.
Amazon
Amazon has a wider variety of round beds than Wayfair. Make sure you view their avalanche of outdoor and indoor circle beds before you make a buying decision. Their prices for round beds are slightly higher than Wayfair’s, but with round beds, it’s never about the price.
Lavishness comes first when buying a circle bed. Comfort and space come second. Like Wayfair, Amazon allows you to return the bed if you are not satisfied. They also do free shipping, meaning the price you see on their site is all you pay.
eBay
eBay is the biggest competitor of Amazon in almost all areas. From service delivery to prices, everything you see on Amazon can be found on eBay. Their prices are near similar, but they have an even wider variety. eBay lists round beds sold by companies from all around the world.
If you have a preference for European manufacturers, scroll through the website’s catalogs. Like Amazon, eBay’s round beds cost a tad bit higher than Wayfair. But then again, there is more variety.
When it comes to shipping, be prepared to pay shipping fees that range from $30 to $100. Some companies do offer free shipping though.
Walmart
If saving money is in your plans as you shop for a round bed, Walmart is a great website to shop. The platform doesn’t have a wide variety of round beds, but the few you find are all priced below $1000. Shipping is done free of charge, and their return policy ensures you get a new bed if you receive a damaged one.
Keep in mind that Walmart alternates its online prices compared to in-store prices all the time. If you visit the company's stores regularly, make sure to visit their furniture category. Compare those prices with what they offer online and make the right decision.
Ikea
Ikea is a global brand when it comes to selling furniture. Any kind of beds you need can be found on the website. Unlike many sellers, Ikea is one of the cheapest places for furniture. Whether you are after round beds or sofas, be certain to find great deals on the Swedish store.
Important Features
What should you look for when buying a Round Bed?
Buying any kind of furniture is a long-term investment. When it’s an expensive round bed in question, pay attention to the following features.
Size
Round beds vary from small pieces of furniture that can be placed at one corner to large masterpieces. Buy a bed depending on the number of people who'll be sleeping on it and the space you have at home. If you want a King-sized bed for two, make sure you also have the space to accommodate it.
Mattress
Finding a round bed is already hard enough. Finding an accompanying mattress can be a lot more hard work. Fortunately, most round beds on Wayfair, Amazon and the other sites also come with mattresses. But if they don’t have a mattress, good luck trying to find a mattress.
Linens
Just the way round beds and mattresses can be difficult to find, so are the linens. Most of them are also expensive, costing between $150 and $250. The best way to buy a round mattress is to find one with a mattress and its linens.
Advantages of a Round Bed
They are Authentic
Not many homes have round beds, and that makes having one a unique aspect of your home. A good round bed makes your bedroom look authentic. Round beds are also stylish and uniquely beautiful. The fact that they also consume a lot of space makes them the center of your bedrooms, exhuming their elegance and style to everyone that sees them.
Modern and Visually Impressive
Round beds look modern and stylish no matter how much they cost. When you have one in your bedroom, no one can deny you have a sense of style. With their impeccable designs, round beds also exude confidence to everyone who uses them.
Comfortable and fewer risks for Injuries
Sure, the beds look circular. But no type of bed is safer from injuries than round beds. The beds are designed for utmost comfort and with little to no risk of injuries.
Can house large drawers
Underneath the round beds are large amounts of space that can be turned into line-storage drawers. The best beds already come equipped with the drawers, making them convenient for storing a lot of bedroom necessities.
Disadvantages of Round Beds
Consumes a lot of Space
You certainly can’t find space to place a round bed in a studio apartment. You’ll struggle to find space in your bedroom if you already have another bed in there. For most people, round beds are too big and impractical to buy.
Expensive
Most modern beds are expensive, but round beds are even more expensive. The average circle bed goes for $800 while an executive bed can go in the upwards of $1,500.
Summary
Round beds blend with furniture and interior décor smoothly. An elegant bed can also turn your bedroom into a lavish space anyone would be proud to live in. They aren't cheap though and finding the space to house them can be difficult. But if you can afford a round bed and have space in your bedroom, go for it.
