Beds and Mattresses/Bed Frames in The Sims 4

Have you ever stumbled upon a bed that you absolutely LOVE in the Sims 3, but unfortunately, it only gives your sim a low energy of 2, 3, 4, or 5...?

There are some really nice cheap beds, but the only drawback IS the low energy they provide.

For example:

Say you decorated a beautiful bedroom, that includes a bed that only gives off a low energy of about 4. If you want your Sim to refill their energy faster, you need to get a more expensive bed, and then it might not even match to the rest of the furniture! :O

So... I think that in the Sims 4, it would be EXTREMELY convenient, if that, when we are purchasing bed's, we can also pick a MATTRESS as we buy it.

So basically, say you want to buy the cheapest bed that costs 100 simoleons, there would be multiple different mattresses that you can pick from when choosing that bed, that all range to a higher price.

This would be a neat feature, so that we could get the bed frames we want, but still be able to get the most amount of energy from it, without having to buy the most expensive bed.

I mean, in real life, people change mattress's all the time!

Does anyone know what I mean? Lol

In a short summery:

If you want the cheapest bed, but with the most energy, we would pay more for the "mattress"

So yes, basically, we wouldn't have to get the most expensive bed to get the most energy, instead, it's just like picking a bed frame, and then choosing a mattress.

Lol, sorry it was hard to explain! :) :P

  • Yes, this is a huge pet peeve of mine. I like your solution, too.

    Say, cheap bed frames might give no environment points, but they could work well as beds to sleep on. Expensive frames give environment bonuses, but not necessarily comfy points. 100% agree. This, is so simple, yet so needed for the game, imo.

    Maybe you could even just buy a mattress and put it on the ground, for families with not enough money to buy a bed frame. If you had a bed frame I imagine the mattresses would snap onto the frame. I can totally see this.

    I really like this idea! The sims could even get some kind of special boost from the extra comfy mattresses :P


    Yes, that's also a fantastic idea! :D

    Another example:

    Say you are designing a dorm room for your Sims, but ONLY want to use the University Life set to decorate the room, well, the University Life bed only gives about 5 energy points. And if you are experienced with University Life, you would know that a bed that gives 9 or 10 energy points, is VERY helpful to your Sims' Academic life! Unlike the the University Life bed that has your Sims sleeping forever, and not even well rested!

    In my current game, my Sims are using University Life side tables, with the Diesel Stuff bed (because it gives off the most energy). Although, I wish I could use the University Life bed to match to the rest of the furniture, but the energy that it gives off is just too low for my Sims, and would have them sleeping foreverrrrrr! :P

    Nice idea. It would make beds more customisable and that would be great.


    Yes! It definitely would!

    Bed frames would range from cheap to high prices, but then you could choose any mattress you wanted, depending on how much $ you have, or if you just want a cheap bed frame, but get the most energy, etc, etc! :D
