Today, however, in the most careful interior design projects, the particular bedside tables have become elements capable of defining the tone of the bedroom: volumes that dialogue with the architecture, surfaces that introduce matter, color and depth, details that convey a precise idea of space. In some cases they are sculptural presences, in others silent micro-architectures; never simple accessories.

Observing the catalogs of the most interesting Italian companies, a clear trend emerges: the bedside table is no longer thought of as a “service” piece of furniture, but as an integral part of the project. Curved, monolithic, transparent, covered, suspended or placed on the ground, it contributes to building the identity of the environment as much as the bed or the surfaces that surround it.

This selection brings together some of the most particular design bedside tables currently on the Italian market. Not a list of decorative objects, but a design interpretation designed for those who look at the bedroom as a space to be designed with attention, balance and intention.

Special bedside tables as a design choice

In the most successful projects, the particular bedside tables are not selected a posteriori, but enter into the initial phase of the design. Their function is no longer just containing: they become tools for balancing volumes , introducing matter, lightening or strengthening the perception of space. It is a choice that concerns the project as a whole, not the individual object. For this reason, the most interesting models are those capable of supporting an architectural look, without relying on decorative solutions or ephemeral aesthetics.

This is where this selection was born: a series of designer bedside tables that stand out for their language, presence and design coherence. Objects designed to communicate with the environment and not to fill it.

Maxalto, Amphora: domestic sculpture, without theatricality

Amphora by Maxalto is one of those bedside tables that work because they don’t seek effect. The oval shape, compact and continuous, has a sculptural presence that never becomes ostentation: it seems more like a “thought-out” furniture volume than a “designed” piece of furniture. It is an object that holds up well in architectural bedrooms, with clean surfaces and important materials, because it fits in as a controlled mass and not as a decorative element.

The signature of Antonio Citterio can be felt above all in the size: Amphora has a balance between solidity and lightness which avoids the risk, very common in curved bedside tables, of becoming simply “soft”. Here softness is a language, not a quirk.

FIAM Italia, Echo: transparency and matter, in the same gesture

Among the most contemporary particular bedside tables, Echo by FIAM Italia is interesting because it works on a rare ambiguity: it is minimal, but it is not neutral. The lacquered structure remains rigorous, while the front in fused glass introduces a material vibration that changes with the light andwith the observation angle. The result is a bedside table that does not “weigh”, but does not disappear: it remains present for perceptive quality, not for volume.

It’s one of those pieces that make sense when the room is designed for subtle layering: reflections, transparencies, surfaces that are never really flat. Signed Marcel Wanders , Echo brings to the sleeping area an idea of ??detail almost like a designer object, but contained in a clean design.

Alivar, Round3: the bedside table as a covered volume, almost “fashion”

Round3 by Alivar is a bedside table that shifts the attention from the shape to the whole: curved structure, three drawers, and above all a work of leather/leather covering which brings it closer to a tailored object than to a traditional container. The peculiarity lies in the continuity of the shell: you don’t find the classic “furniture with fronts”, but a wrapped volume, built to also be looked at from the side, not just from the front.

It is a piece suitable for rooms in which the project wants to introduce a tactile and warm component without resorting to decorations: the detail is in the stitching, in the edge, in the finish. Designed by Giuseppe Bavuso , Round3 has that quality typical of successful products: it seems simple, but it is full of choices.

Cattelan Italia, Lido: contemporary craftsmanship, with a precise idea of luxury

Lido by Cattelan Italia demonstrates one thing: a bedside table can be “particular” even without eccentricity. The cylindrical structure, clean and uniform, and the push-pull drawers hidden inside the volume, create a compact, almost monolithic image, which however is softened by the woodworking details and the rounded upper edge.

Here the peculiarity is not in the theatrical gesture, but in the quality of the proportions and in the way in which the mirrored top introduces a note of controlled light. It is a bedside table suitable for those looking for a decisive but not aggressive contemporary language.

Cantori, Adone: the bedside table as a reflective surface, between vintage and couture

With Adone , Cantori chooses an opposite path compared to full and opaque volumes: here the bedside table becomes reflection , surface, atmosphere. The ground mirror covering and the metallic details immediately move the object into a more “scenic” register, but it remains coherent if you place it in rooms where materials and lights are part of the project.

Adone is particular because it works on perception: it doesn’t add mass, it changes the way the room is read. It is a piece that must be used with awareness, as is done with certain architectural materials: not everywhere, but in the right context it becomes a very clear point of character.

Bonaldo, Arragan: sculptural purity, without cold minimalism

Among the proposals of Bonaldo , Arragan is a convincing choice for an article on particular bedside tables because it works on a very controlled sculpture: essential, full volumes, raised by a low foot which lightens the mass and leaves “air” underneath. The peculiarity is not in the surprise effect, but in a precise formality, almost architectonicnica.

It is a bedside table that works when you want to give the room a clean contemporary tone, but with an object that has a clear presence. Designed by Gabriele and Oscar Buratti , Arragan is an example of how Bonaldo manages to be recognizable without becoming shouty.

Poliform, Brera: the bedside table as part of the system (not as a single piece)

With Brera , Poliform clarifies a key point: in the contemporary sleeping area the best bedside table is not always the most “iconic” one, but the most integrated one. Brera takes up horizontal lines and the architectural layout of the coordinated bed, and above all thinks in terms of system: proportions, alignments, relationship with the headboard and overall volumes.

It is a particular bedside table in the most serious sense of the term: it does not act as the protagonist, but makes the room work . And this, for those who design, is often the rarest quality.

Presotto, Elle: construction detail that becomes a sign

Elle by Presotto is interesting because it brings “particularity” into the construction detail: the junction and continuity between the top and fronts create a clear line, while the opening via a lateral grip avoids handles and interrupts the cleaning of the volume as little as possible.

It is the typical bedside table that does not seek effect, but which holds up very well in a contemporary project because it has a coherent grammar: thicknesses, cuts, alignments. When the room is rigorously designed, Elle fits in naturally.

Gallotti&Radice, Holly: glass as light architecture

With Holly , Gallotti&Radice works on a balance that few brands manage so well: wooden structure and a visual envelope made of glass (top and sides), where transparency is not decoration but construction of space. Holly is a bedside table that lightens the environment: instead of adding mass, it adds light and depth.

It is particular because it makes the bedside table an almost “passage” element, an object that is perceived more by edges and reflections than by volume. In rooms with important materials, it is an elegant way not to weigh it down.

De Castelli, Marea: matter as pictorial gesture

Marea by De Castelli is a bedside table that enters a different territory: here the peculiarity is in the treatment of the metal surface, defined as an artisanal finish that transforms the metal into something almost pictorial. It is an object that is halfway between design and “collectible” piece, and works when you want to introduce an artistic component without moving to easy decorative languages.

In an essential room, Marea becomes a point of controlled tension: nothing else is needed, because the material already tells everything.

Baxter, Beside: skin and firmness, with tactile luxury

Among the Baxter bedside tables, Beside is a choice consistent with your selection because it is a compact object, almost severe in proportions, but completely transformed by leather : not as a “fine” covering, but asme language. It is a bedside table that works on touch and silent presence, rather than on formal gesture.

It is particular because it introduces an almost fashionable quality into the room: soft surface, precise edges, and that idea of sensorial luxury that Baxter knows how to make recognizable without the need for excess.

Zanotta, Taschino: the bedside table as a “secret container”

With Taschino , Zanotta moves the bedside table onto conceptual terrain: not a piece of furniture with a drawer, but an object that holds. The painted steel structure and the internal compartment covered in leather, accessible with a flap opening, make it almost a small domestic treasure chest.

It is a particular bedside table because it changes gesture and ritual: you don’t “pull a drawer”, you open a container. And it is precisely this difference, minimal but clear, that makes it a piece worth mentioning in an article that talks about design and not generic furnishings.

Giorgetti, Frame: silent luxury, with a precise material component

Frame by Giorgetti is a bedside table in which the peculiarity is not an extreme shape, but the calibrated combination between wood and saddlery leather, designed to give the space a tactile and adult luxury. It is an object that works when the room is designed as a coherent set of materials: essences, leather, metals, soft tones.

Designed by Carlo Colombo , Frame is a bedside table that doesn’t ask for attention, but deserves it: the more you look at it, the more you understand that it was designed to last, not to impress.

Tonelli Design, Grattacielo: the bedside table as a modular structure

And here we insert ArredareModerno with a piece that really makes sense in your mix: Grattacielo by Tonelli Design . It is particular by definition, because it does not start from the classic bedside table: it is a tempered glass structure , modular and accessorisable, which can integrate drawers and revolving shelves.

Grattacielo works when the room seeks lightness and verticality: more than a piece of furniture, it is a small transparent system that stages everyday objects and gestures without transforming them into disorder. It is one of the smartest ways to talk about a “particular bedside table” without falling into the decorative.

Special bedside tables

What do we really mean by particular bedside tables?

In the language of design, the particular nightstands are not simply different from the usual in shape or color. They are objects designed with a precise intention: they work on volumes, materials, proportions or perception of space. They can be sculptural, material, transparent or integrated into the architecture of the room, but they are never neutral or casual.

Are particular bedside tables suitable for all bedrooms?

Not always. Precisely because they have a strong identity, they require a space designed with awareness . In highly charged or already element-rich chambers, they risk losing strength. They work best in balanced environments, where they can communicate with the bed, surfaces and light without competing with other protagonists.

Better to choose a bedside table particulated or a model coordinated with the bed?

It depends on the project. A coordinated bedside table works on visual continuity; a particular bedside table instead introduces a point of character . In the most interesting contemporary projects, this contrast is often chosen: sober bed, bedside table with personality, or vice versa.

What materials make a bedside table truly special?

Materials make the difference when they are part of the project, not a simple covering. Curved glass, oxidized metal, saddlery leather, continuous lacquering or tailoring transform the bedside table into a design object. The particularity arises from the way in which the material constructs the form , not from its rarity.

Are particular bedside tables less functional?

Not necessarily. The function changes, it adapts. Some give up the traditional drawer, others hide it, still others reinterpret it. Functionality does not disappear, but is rethought based on real use and the idea of ??space, especially in contemporary bedrooms.

Is it better to have a sculptural bedside table or a light and transparent one?

They are two opposite approaches but both valid. The sculptural bedside tables work on presence and mass; the light or transparent ones lighten the space and let the architecture breathe. The choice depends on the size of the room, the natural light and the role you want to give the bedside table in the overall project.

Do particular bedside tables go out of fashion?

Well designed ones, no. The models that resist over time are not linked to a trend, but to a coherent language and quality materials. It’s the same reason why many designer bedside tables become lasting references, while others age quickly.

Does it make sense to invest in a designer bedside table?

It makes sense if the bedside table is part of a larger project. In a carefully designed room, a well-designed bedside table can make as much of a difference as good lighting or a correct choice of materials. It is not an impulsive purchase, but a design choice .

Guide to choosing the best pillow 2026

Choosing the best pillow means finding the right balance between support, comfort and breathability. There is no ideal model for everyone: posture, weight, neck shape, preferred materials and thermal sensitivity influence the final choice. This is why it is essential to evaluate your sleeping position, listen to your body’s needs and move towards reliable materials and truly ergonomic technologies.

Choosing the best pillow based on your sleeping position

The position in which you sleep is the first criterion to consider when choosing a truly effective pillow. Those who sleep on their back generally need a support of medium height, capable of keeping the neck in line with the spine without raising the head too much. Memory foam or latex models are ideal because they progressively distribute the weight, avoiding tension.

For those who sleep on their side , a higher and more structured pillow is needed: the space between the shoulder and head must be filled correctly, otherwise the neck tends to tilt causing stiffness or pain when waking up. The shaped or double cervical wave pillows offer precise and stable support.

Those who sleep on their stomach should choose a very low and soft pillow, preferably made of microfibre or more elastic foam, to avoid excessive extension of the neck. An incorrect choice in this position can in fact generate muscle tension, headaches and stiffness in the morning.

Pillow materials: memory, latex, feather, gel and microfibre

The materials determine the behavior ofthe pillow and directly influence nighttime comfort. memory foam is among the most popular of 2026: it molds precisely to the cervical curves, reduces pressure and offers uniform support, ideal for those suffering from neck pain or muscle tension. The natural latex is elastic, responsive and ventilated, an excellent choice for those who want a more “alive” and supported sensation under the head.

The cushions in feather and down are synonymous with lightness and natural thermoregulation: they gently follow the shape of the head and represent the maximum in softness, perfect for those looking for a soft welcome and a balanced microclimate. The models in refreshing gel are instead ideal for those who tend to heat up during the night, because they quickly dissipate the heat.

microfibre remains a versatile, hypoallergenic and softer solution, perfect for those who prefer a soft, easily washable and affordable pillow. The choice of material depends on posture, body temperature and sensory preferences: each material offers a completely different sensation.

How to choose the best neck pillow

Those who suffer from cervical , muscle tension or neck stiffness must pay particular attention to the shape and density of the pillow. The best cervical pillow is the one that keeps the cervical spine aligned with the spine, avoiding excessive inclinations upwards or downwards. The most effective models are generally those in high-density memory foam, because they react to body heat and shape themselves with anatomical precision.

The double-wave shaped cushions offer targeted support: the higher curve supports side sleepers, the lower one is ideal for back sleepers. Some models feature internal perforations, cooling gel or three-dimensional workmanship that improve ventilation and reduce heat retention, an important aspect for preventing muscle tension.

It is also useful to evaluate the height: too low can cause unnatural flexions of the neck, too high can compress the vertebrae. A good cervical pillow must support, not push: the correct sensation is that of a stable but delicate support, which accompanies the natural shape of the neck without forcing it.

Height, density and firmness: three key factors in choosing the cushion

The height of the pillow determines cervical alignment: those who sleep on their side need a higher pillow, while those who sleep on their back or prone prefer a medium or low height. The density is equally important: a high-density memory offers greater support, while softer materials guarantee a softer welcome.

The rigidity must follow postural needs: rigid to keep the neck stable, medium for a versatile balance, soft for those looking for an enveloping sensation. These three elements work together to define the real comfort of the pillow: an incorrect balance can compromise the entire night posture and cause tension when waking up.

The answers you are looking for about id pilloweal 

What is the best pillow overall in 2026?

The best pillow in 2026 is the one that ensures correct cervical alignment based on your sleeping position, body weight and comfort preferences. Ergonomic models in memory foam or latex remain the most recommended for most people.

What is the best pillow for those suffering from cervical pain?

For the cervical area, ergonomic pillows in high-density memory foam are recommended, possibly shaped with a double wave. These models support the neck by keeping the spine in a natural position and reduce tension and stiffness upon waking.

Is memory foam or latex pillow better?

The memory foam gradually adapts to the shape of the neck and is ideal for those looking for enveloping support. Latex is more elastic and reactive, suitable for those who prefer a more supported and fresh sensation. The choice depends on personal preferences and night posture.

How long does a good pillow last?

A quality pillow lasts on average 3–5 years , depending on the material and use. Memory and latex models maintain their characteristics for longer than traditional fiber or down models.

How often should the pillow be changed?

The pillow should be changed when it loses elasticity, support or hygiene. Even if it appears intact, a pillow that is too worn can compromise cervical posture and the quality of sleep.

Who invented the bed? From stones to Egypt, the origins

The first beds were nothing more than a rise from the ground: piles of leaves or animal skins arranged on smooth stones.
A primordial but revolutionary gesture: separating from the earth meant protecting oneself from the cold, from insects, and – symbolically – getting closer to the sky.

Already 10,000 years ago, in South Africa, some archaeological excavations revealed beds built with reed leaves and insect-repellent ashes : the first examples of natural design.
In ancient Egypt the bed became status: a raised wooden platform, with zoomorphic legs, decorated in gold and ivory .
It was a horizontal throne, a sign of power and divinity. Pharaoh Tutankhamun slept on a golden bed curved upwards – a symbol of ascension to heaven even during sleep.

Greece and Rome: the bed as a social scene

For the Greeks and Romans, sleeping was only one of the functions of the bed.
In the Roman triclinium , for example, people ate while lying down: the bed was a convivial piece of furniture.
The structures, often in bronze or carved wood, were enriched with wool and feather mattresses , and embroidered blankets, a symbol of civilization and well-being.

It is in this period that the distinction between daytime and nighttime bed was born, between private rest and public representation.
The bed also becomes an aesthetic object, an integral part of domestic architecture.

Middle Ages: the bed as a fortress and family symbol

In the Middle Ages, the bed once again became a refuge.
The rooms are cold, the floors are stone, and the bed becomes an island closed by curtains and heavy drapes .
Privacy, an almost unknown concept, was born right there, behind those fabrics that guarded sleep and secrets.

The bed becomes the fulcrum of the room , often removable and transportable.
It is the place where one receives, gives birth and dies. In many French and Italian castles, the lord’s bed is placed on a pedestal, adorned with a canopy and family coat of arms: an architecture in the room .

Renaissance and Baroque: the bed as a work of art

In the Renaissance, with the return of humanism, the bed transformed into an object of art and architecture .
The shapes become lighter, the decorations become more refined, the carved wood tells mythological stories.
In Florence, Venice, Paris, the canopy bed dominates the scene like a small private cathedral.

In the Baroque theatricality explodes: velvets, gilding, inlays, tdraped ends.
The bed is a spectacle for the eye and a manifesto of wealth.
Versailles becomes its emblem, with the famous “lit de parade” of Louis XIV, where the Sun King receives ministers and ambassadors still in their pajamas.

Sleeping, now, is a political act.

Nineteenth century and the industrial revolution: the modern bed was born

With the Industrial Revolution the bed changed its nature.
Wrought iron structures replace wood, hygienic and lighter, in response to epidemics that required healthier spaces.
Design becomes democratic: the first mass-produced beds are born , and the bedroom becomes a bourgeois, private, functional environment.

It is in this period that the modern double bed also appears, symbol of family union and the new idea of domestic intimacy.
The shape remains simple, but there is a new attention to comfort, spring mattresses, slats and fabrics.

Twentieth century: from Bauhaus to Italian design

The twentieth century is the century of the project.
With the Bauhaus, the bed loses all ornamentation: it becomes structure, function, ergonomics.
Shapes are simplified, materials hybridize — steel, wood, leather, technical fabrics .
There is only one objective: designing comfort .

In the 60s and 70s, Italian design transformed the bed into a cult object .
The models designed by Flou , Cassina , Poliform , B&B Italia , which combine architecture and everyday life, are born.
The “Nathalie” bed designed by Vico Magistretti for Flou in 1978 is a revolution: removable, customizable, elegant.
Since then, the bed is no longer just a piece of furniture, but a system .
Storage beds, integrated sommiers and modular projects are born that redefine the concept of sleeping space.

The bed in contemporary design: between comfort and identity

Today the bed is a laboratory of materials and psychology.
We no longer just talk about sleep, but about sensory experience and well-being .
The headboard becomes a sculptural element, the covering tactile, the integrated lighting.
Brands such as Twils, Bontempi, Desiree, Lago, Zanotta and BertO explore a language where technology and craftsmanship coexist: suspended, floating beds, soft like an embrace but built with sartorial rigor .

The bed today represents the threshold between the body and the mind , the place where the rationality of the day turns off and the imagination turns on.
And perhaps it is precisely here that the original meaning of his invention is found: to separate man from the earth, to make him dream a little higher.

From bed to dream

Who invented the bed, then?
Not a name, not an era: but humanity itself , the moment it felt the need to elevate its body and give shape to rest.
Every civilization, every era, every designer has added a piece to this long history of sleeping.
Today, choosing a bed is not just a question of taste or comfort, but a cultural act , a way to tell — even in sleep — who we are and how we want to inhabit the world.

L'articolo Who invented the bed: the history of the most intimate object of design proviene da Archi & Interiors.

From the historical models that have revolutionized the concept of bedroom furniture, such as the famous Nathalie by Flou , to the iconic suspended projects such as the Fluttua by Lago , up to the new sartorial proposals of brands such as Twils, Bontempi Casa or Cantori , the choice today is very wide. But some beds have been able to stand out more than others, becoming points of reference for those looking for quality, style and durability over time .

Below, our selection of the models that have won over architects, interior designers and furniture enthusiasts, true examples of excellence in Italian and international design.

The best double beds: our selection

Twils Max Double Bed – among the best design double beds

The Max by Twils is a double bed that best expresses the brand’s philosophy: combining tailoring, comfort and contemporary design.

Mattress buying guide 2025: how to choose the right one

Sleeping well is essential for health, daily energy and general well-being. Choosing the right model means evaluating not only the size, but also the level of support, comfort and space available in the bedroom.

Which size is right for you?

• Length: the mattress must be at least 15 cm higher than the height of the tallest person who will sleep on it.
• Width: lie down with your partner in the center of the bed and rest your head on the pillow; if the elbows do not touch and remain inside the edge, the measurement is correct. In this case you will be able to easily identify the best double mattress 2025, capable of offering comfort and independence of movement.
• Lateral space: leave at least 55-60 cm free on the sides of the bed to be able to move without obstacles.
• Children and teenagers: consider that they will grow, so it is better to choose a mattress that accompanies them over time. Opting for the best single mattress means guaranteeing replacementign, comfort and durability over the years.

What needs should your mattress meet

The ideal model must respond to the personal needs of those who use it. Comfort, for example, is not the same for everyone: there are those who prefer a more rigid support and those who instead find relief in a softer welcome.

A good mattress must also guarantee correct support for the back, relieving muscle and joint tension. In this sense, the best mattress for back pain is the one capable of correctly distributing the weight and reducing the pressure on the spine.

An important aspect is the ability to regulate the microclimate of the bed: the materials must promote perspiration, maintain a balanced temperature and reduce humidity. The models with thermoregulating coverings and breathable technologies represent the fresh summer mattress , ideal for facing the hottest nights in total comfort.

Finally, for those with particular needs – such as herniated discs, shoulder pain or postural disorders – the mattress must offer targeted support, capable of correctly distributing the weight of the body and relieving pressure in the most sensitive points.

Duvet or duvet? The difference and the role of design

The terms duvet and duvet are often used interchangeably, but there is a substantial difference between the two, especially in the furniture and design sector.

• Down : technically, down is the internal padding in goose down, duck down or synthetic materials, designed to guarantee maximum thermal comfort. It is generally inserted inside a duvet cover, making it versatile and easily interchangeable , thus adapting to different styles and seasons.
• Duvet : it is the most correct term to indicate the padded blanket that is used directly on the bed, without the need for a duvet cover. In addition to its thermal function, the duvet has a strong aesthetic value , becoming a real furnishing accessory.

In everyday language, the term down jacket is also associated with winter jackets, creating further confusion. However, in the context of interior design , it is preferable to use “duvet” to refer to the padded blanket that complements and enhances the bed.

The best brands of designer duvets not only guarantee the highest quality materials and excellent thermal performance, but also offer refined aesthetic solutions, with refined textures, sophisticated colors and elegant finishes . The duvet thus becomes a central element in the design of the sleeping area, helping to define the atmosphere of the room and create a welcoming and harmonious environment.
