 Ikea chairs beds

Small apartments, the inability to buy a full bed, the frequent arrivals of guests - all of these situations are the reason for the acquisition of compact and multifunctional furniture. One of the options for such furniture is the Ikea chair-bed, designed to meet all the requirements and desires of customers.

Features and advantages of folding models

The first and main feature of the folding chair-bed is a unique and organic combination of two functional pieces of furniture. When folded, it is a comfortable chair, not cluttering the space in the room, in the unfolded - a comfortable place for a good sleep. At the same time in the models of Ikea beds, every detail is thought out, which makes them indispensable helpers in any home.

The main "advantages" of Ikea chair beds include:

  • Permanently high quality. From the first days of this indicator in the company paid special attention. And thanks to him, the company was able to take a leading position in the global furniture market;
  • Reliability of all connections. The debugged system works without squeaks and “dropping”, regardless of the intensity of the use of furniture;
  • Safety of materials used in the manufacture of structures. All of them preliminarily undergo a series of laboratory tests, the results of which provide a certificate of compliance. Therefore, all materials - from the frame to the covers meet the necessary sanitary standards;
  • Ergonomics and functionality. Designers and craftsmen made sure that their products became not just a beautiful piece of furniture, but also a comfortable night rest place;
  • Easy assembly, allowing you to install furniture yourself. Like any Ikea furniture, folding beds are assembled directly on site. And thanks to the simplicity of the design and clear instructions everyone can do it;
  • Affordable price, affordable even for families with low incomes;
  • An opportunity to complete models at own discretion. Considering the different tastes of customers and the difference in health, the company employees took care of the presence of several options for each model presented;
  • All models are compact and versatile. This allows you to install them even in small rooms and combine with almost any modern interior.

Materials

All materials used to make Ikea chair bed components are environmentally friendly and completely safe for humans. Moreover:

  • Model frames are made of hollow steel pipes from the inside.. On top of these designs are covered with a special epoxy powder. Steel gives the structure strength, and the internal cavity provides light weight. Powder coating, in turn, protects the frame from corrosion, prolonging the life of the product;
  • Orthopedic straps made of beech or birch wood are used as the basis of the seat and backrest. In some models, the slats are replaced with durable, but elastic plywood;
  • To fill the mattress manufacturer uses polyurethane foam, latex or blocks of independent springs. It is noteworthy that for each model several types of mattresses are developed at once, differing in the degree of rigidity. Therefore, choosing a chair-bed, the buyer can choose a mattress for him to your liking.

As a supplement, the company produces removable covers made of environmentally friendly materials for each model of bed chairs: cotton (78%), polyester (20%) and spandex (2%).

In addition, depending on the model, the chair-beds are equipped with either synthetic rubber legs or polypropylene wheels.

Cover options

No matter how carefully they handle it with furniture, no matter how carefully they treat it, over time the upholstery gets dirty, there are scuffs on it. And if there are small children or four-legged pets in the house, the pollution process can be accelerated at times. And the only chance to save the furniture will remain its full constriction.

To solve this problem, Ikea offered a simple and affordable way to protect furniture upholstery from dirt and damage - removable covers. Such covers are made of wear resistant materials designed for multiple washes. They do not require any additional assembly - they are simply pulled onto the chair-bed and fixed with the help of hooks, stickies or special zippers.At the same time, the color range of removable covers can satisfy even the most demanding customer. Covers differ both in color and texture, which allows not only to protect the chair from dirt and damage, but also literally transform the furniture.

In the manufacture of covers are taken into account the characteristics of the furniture, in particular, its ability to transform - a protective coating should not interfere with the folding-unfolding chair-bed. Therefore, covers are sewn for each piece of furniture individually.

Removable covers can be washed in a washing machine or subjected to chemical cleaning, but now it’s better to dry them in a draft without using a centrifuge.

How to choose?

Buying a folding chair-bed, as well as the purchase of any furniture is an important and responsible matter. Therefore, the choice of the model should be as thoughtful as possible.

In order for the product to please its owners for a long time, when choosing it, it is worth considering:

  • the size of the place where it is planned to place folding furniture;
  • whether it will be necessary to regularly move the product;
  • the degree of rigidity of the mattress, to determine which is worth sitting down, and even better - lie down on it before buying;
  • combination of color and texture of the chair-bed with the setting.

In addition, an important selection criterion is the transformation mechanism, with the help of which the chair will “turn” into a bed and back.

Ideas in the interior

All model variety of folding chairs is divided into series. The most popular series are:

  • Lycksele - presented in futuristic style. The width of the seats in this series is 80 cm. When folded they have a height of 87 cm and a seat depth of 60 cm. When unfolded, it is a bed with a mattress 10 cm high and 188 cm long. It is enough to fold and unfold the chairs in seconds. seat on yourself. All models in this series suggest the possibility of additional equipment with a box for clothes or bedding;
  • PS - original models of increased mobility, equipped with safe rollers for movement. Thanks to this device, the chair can be easily rearranged during cleaning or moved from room to room.In addition to its immediate function, the rollers carry a decorative load, being the original designer "chip". The dimensions of this series are slightly larger than those of Lycksele. Thus, the width of the structure and the depth of the seat are 80 cm. The height when folded is 88 cm, and the length of the unfolded bed is 205 cm.

In both series, the choice of consumers offers three types of mattresses of different hardness:

  • Levos is a single-layer product made of polyurethane foam. Refers to mattresses of medium hardness. Provides good body support while relaxing.
  • Murbo - hard double layer mattress. The top layer is made of flexible polyurethane foam, which exactly repeats all the contours of the body, correctly distributing the load and allowing you to take the most comfortable position during the night rest. The lower layer, in turn, is made of a more dense polyurethane foam, whose task is to optimally support the upper part of the mattress and the person lying on it, and extend the service life of the product.
  • Havet - a two-layer version of medium hardness. The top layer is made of latex and helps maintain a comfortable temperature.Punching material allows it to "breathe" - the air passes freely through the holes, which contribute to the evaporation of excess moisture. In this case, latex is able to take the form of the body, making sleep more comfortable.

An additional padding is added to the product by a synthetic winterizer laid out on top of latex. The bottom layer of the mattress forms a highly elastic polyurethane, which helps to distribute the load of the sleeper.

For the greatest convenience in set a cushion of the same material as the mattress is included with each bed chair. During the day, you can put it under your lower back, sitting in a chair, and at night - use it for its intended purpose.

Most often, the chair-bed is located in the bedroom, but its placement is allowed in the living room, children's room and in any other convenient place in the apartment or house.

The appearance of the models is determined by the covers, which are easy to pick up "in color" of the rest of the furniture, which further simplifies the task of creating a single composition in the interior.At the same time, designers allow accentuation of the chair-bed, so in its color you can use shades that contrast with the general color background of the room. The main thing here is to choose the right place on which the folding chair will look most beneficial. Thus it is possible to achieve that the folding product will become not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a real decoration of the interior.
