 Double beds-transformers

Few people can boast of a spacious apartment with extra square meters. The question of saving space and combining the same furniture for different tasks is already a common thing. And every second person denies himself a comfortable sleep on the big bed, preferring a folding sofa. Although the most rational decision is to correctly zone the room and use the multifunctional furniture of the new generation.

The complex, but compact design of multifunctional furniture fits perfectly into the interior of a modern apartment. It is possible to install a transforming bed in any room: nursery, living room or bedroom. We studied all the features and characteristics of double beds.

Features, Pros and Cons

To make the most comfortable life in a small apartment for a large family is quite difficult. Transforming furniture - the ideal and, perhaps, the only assistant in this matter. The transforming bed does not differ from the standard in quality of sleep, but significantly saves the useful area of ​​the room. This is an ideal option not only for the Khrushchev, but also for a modern studio apartment.

The transforming bed with ease turns into a sofa or in a case and vice versa. For small apartments, this know-how will be a real salvation.

Main advantages:

  • The main plus - perceptible space savings and emotional comfort from free space.
  • Convenience of operation - quickly and securely hides the sleeping area with bedding. In the morning, you do not need to spend time on cleaning the bed; you just need to fasten the mattress with durable straps and lift the structure into a niche.
  • Practicality and ease of use.
  • You can combine several functional areas: dining room or study and a cozy bedroom.
  • Furniture with lifting mechanism allows you to easily and quickly clean the floors, which takes a significant portion of time with standard models.
  • Intimacy of a berth remains, bedding hidden from guests.
  • The lower part of the bed can be decorated in any style: from the elegantly decorated baroque to the modest and restrained minimalism. Color, material texture and decor elements are chosen individually for each interior.
  • Sleep and rest quality on a transforming bed and a standard stationary model is no different.
  • Modern design.

The most important and perhaps the only drawback of transforming furniture is its cost. The price of such furniture is significantly different from the standard. It can be very difficult to choose the right model of a certain size, so you will have to order in a workshop with an individual sketch.

Species

The simplest option is a built-in bed in a drywall construction in the wall. A great option, especially if the box is used as a furniture wall with shelves and drawers. This bed-wall fits perfectly into the living room, and will not stand out from the general interior of the room.

Another option is to combine a sleeping area with built-in wardrobes. The design has two compartments, in one hides a vertical bed,and the second houses a spacious storage system with drawers and hangers for clothes or shelves for books. The assembled bed-wardrobe is not even obviously visible and does not arouse suspicion. And the cabinet itself is no different from its counterparts, so only the initiates will know about the main feature of the furniture. Especially if the lower part of the bed has false-handles for drawers and completely imitates the surface of the cabinet.

The wardrobe-bed is the most practical choice; it complements any room well: a living room or an office. And the location along the wall saves most of the room. The type of attachment and orientation can be selected based on the wishes and features of the room.

The design can be supplemented with additional furniture:

  • coffee table;
  • ottomans or an armchair;
  • closed curbstones;
  • additional shelves;
  • mezzanines.

A great option to combine a work area and a bedroom is to purchase a bed-table. A convenient option for freelancers and people with a lot of work. The surface of the table with no need to free from equipment and paper. The design provides for a turntable top, so all things will remain in place.The table-bed can include additional niches with shelves or drawers. An alternative may be a dressing table instead of a worker.

An unusual interesting option is a round bed that easily hides in the cabinet or wall unit. The horizontal bed is placed in the unfolded form more compactly along the wall. The lifting mechanism is installed on the long part of the bed. The horizontal folding bed is often presented in a duet with a chest of drawers. Folding bed orientation involves the use of a suitable springless mattress, which can be folded in half.

Double beds are more often presented in a design with a vertical orientation. That is, a bed is attached to the structure by a narrow part. And the width of the bed can vary from 140 cm to 220 cm.

By modification

A folding bed from a wall will hide perfectly in a closet and save about 4 square meters. In this case, the lower part of the bed is camouflaged under the cabinet with handles and drawers, which allows you to completely simulate and repeat the design of the entire headset. And a folding bed is no different from stationary beds.In another embodiment, the bed in a vertical position is closed by sliding doors, according to the type of wardrobe.

The most important elements of a folding bed, which can not be saved - a mattress and a lifting mechanism.

Mechanisms are divided into three types and each has its own characteristics:

  • gas lift - in turn, is divided into fillers with nitrogen and air, it is preferable to choose nitrogen, because with it does not form corrosion on metal parts and the service life is 50 years;
  • spring mechanism - has a shorter service life on average of about 20,000 duty cycles;
  • counterweight - has the longest service life compared to other options, but it has one drawback; it requires more space in the niche body.

After selecting the mechanism and type of attachment, it remains only to choose the necessary finishing for the facade of the assembled furniture.

Tips for choosing

Selecting furniture-transformer is quite simple, if you follow the basic rules and recommendations:

  • It is better to buy a furniture set for a small apartment with a rigid body and on a metal frame. And the distant part of the bed in a disassembled state should not hang in the air, the support can be a handle or a shelf. The whole structure must be durable and reliable, and fittings - well fixed.
  • The size of the bed is directly dependent on the size of the room. In the unfolded version, the edge of the bed should not touch the wall. The width and height of the assembled depends on the desires of the customer and can be almost anything.
  • The kit can include a shelf that, for a disassembled bed design, performs the function of legs and securely holds the weight of the frame. Cabinet doors can be made of various materials with fittings or a mirror.
  • Bed-wardrobe can be supplemented with a TV and audio system. But if you like to watch TV before going to bed, then all systems should be placed opposite.
  • Many fear unreliable mechanisms and deny themselves the purchase of such furniture. And although each seller will assure the opposite, give preference to better-proven and reputable manufacturers and famous factories.
  • Another point to consider when choosing a transformer bed is the limitation on the height of the mattress. As a rule, mattresses up to 18 cm in height are suitable for popular models. And the filling for some structures is allowed only springless, because the berth can be folded and bent.
