Features of the choice of a bed-dresser

You can create comfort with maximum free space even in a small room - you just have to use a bed-dresser. Such a transformer will help out in any of the rooms, it will be appropriate even in a small office: a place to rest will be useful everywhere.

A bed-dresser appeared in residential premises relatively recently, only the sleeping place hidden in the closet can compete with the functionality of this piece of furniture. However, the bed-dresser still wins with its versatility. Not everyone knows what are the features of the choice of such furniture.

This original piece of furniture has a lot of advantages. For a long time such products are made with numerous roomy shelves and drawers. The bed-dresser is just perfect in operation.

The advantages of such furniture:

• It is very compact when folded. During the day, this product looks like a dresser, and at night it serves as a comfortable sleeping place.
• Easy and reliable transformation mechanism. Even a child can cope with this furniture.
• An interesting design decorates the interior. On the top shelf, which serves as one of the sides of the box, where the bed hides during the day, you can put books, toys, photos - or something else (depending on the purpose of the room).
• Possible configuration options. When purchasing a bed-dresser, you can add a design with mezzanines, a training table or any other useful devices.
• Unlimited design possibilities. The facade of the furniture can be perfectly fit into the interior.

Beds, dressers make out differently, it all depends on the preferences of customers. For kids and teens, the product is usually packaged with drawers, often disguised or matching in color and accessories with the rest of the furniture in the room.

The design of this bed means that it will be turned base out. Therefore, its design pays a lot of attention.

The facade can be decorated with photo printing or drawing, depending on the style of the room.

Fans of minimalism and naturalness choose unpainted surfaces of the body with a pronounced wood pattern. Ecostyle is a very popular trend at the present time.

For the manufacture of facades using laminated chipboard, painted PVC (or covered with film), as well as natural MDF veneer. LDSP is more profitable to take 25 mm thick - if you plan to actively use furniture for its intended purpose. Economical and neat users will approach and chipboard 16 mm.

If desired, the front side of the dresser-bed can be made of solid wood, but it will make it heavier and increase the cost. In the nursery, the use of natural materials is always welcome, but in this embodiment it may not be very appropriate due to the significant weight of the facade of the finished product.

Facades are designed by designers in different ways, but they are not allowed in relation to sleeping places. Here the rule is one: healthy sleep with maximum convenience.

All modern beds, dressers are equipped with an orthopedic mattress securely fixed in the frame-base. The size and stiffness level of the mattress is selected individually - for everyone for whom the bed is made or purchased.

In some rooms the bed is raised above the floor - usually this solution is used in children’s rooms in order to make more space for boxes with toys. For adolescents, the bed is often raised significantly higher by placing a pull-out table under it. With the help of a small staircase in several steps to get on the bed will be very easy.

Sometimes a bed-dresser is provided in the design of a bunk bed. For two children living in the same room, this is a very convenient and thoughtful decision. During the day, the mattress “hides” behind the wall of the dresser, leaving room for free movement, and a comfortable bed is organized for the night.

As a base for a mattress, a lath structure traditionally attached to the front of a dresser is traditionally used. It is made in compliance with all orthopedic requirements. This is the best option for a healthy sleep and rest, which cannot be said with certainty about a solid foundation. Its benefit lies solely in finance. Compensated for such a minus the high quality of the mattress.

The mattress is selected according to the height and weight of the data of who is to exploit it. The bed-dresser is made for long-term use, so it is preferable to stay on a mattress filled with latex, coconut coir or other orthopedic options.

The mattress is attached to the base with straps, they fix it securely.

Usually a single horizontal transforming bed is made with a berth 70-90 cm wide.When assembled, it looks like a chest of drawers. There are no restrictions on the length of a place to sleep, but 200–205 cm is enough for comfort.

As for the bed for two - a bed with dimensions from 140 cm requires a vertical transformation mechanism. The “adult” model harmoniously looks in the bedroom, where, if necessary, it “hides” in a closet, or is located in the living room - in order to save space in the daytime.

At the bed-dresser is the bottom, sidewalls with stiffening ribs, the front panel, strapping the frame under the mattress. For additional strengthening of the frame of the dresser, made of solid or composite wood, angles of metal and steel hinges are used. Attached to the frame mechanism, providing high structural strength.

The basis for fixing hardware is a steel bar welded to an orthopedic base.

In the flip option, an important component is the transformation system. Simple models are opened by moving the base panel (by the handle, towards yourself).In models with a push-mechanism, a smooth unfolding of the bed from the box-dresser occurs after pressing the base.

Types of transformation systems.

• Manual lift. The design is extremely simple and inexpensive, but at the same time - durable and reliable. The only inconvenience is that the mattress needs to be slightly raised, unfolding. For a baby bed this option is not the most suitable.
• On coil springs. The advantages of this option are hidden installation and beauty of the design - with the overall simplicity. Such a mechanism is adapted to any product. When unfolding the spring will be tightened, thereby ensuring easy movement of the bed. Such a mechanism is suitable in all cases, without exception, since the ease of transformation is combined with the endurance of springs (up to 120 kg).
• Gas lifts. Provide smooth and silent movement, can serve its owner for a very long time.

For technical reasons, if one person has to sleep on a folding horizontal bed-transformer, it is usually the spring mechanism that is installed.

To choose the best model, you need to take into account a variety of nuances. If necessary, you can use the advice of consultants.
