Suspended bed is not quite familiar furniture attribute, so its placement should come with special attention.

For example, due to the design features of the round model, it is not suitable for daily night sleep, but it is quite suitable for outdoor recreation. Therefore, it is most reasonable to place this model in the gazebo of a country house or garden plot.

Since the hanging bed is, to some extent, soaring, it should be made the central part of the interior and placed in the middle of the room.This applies only to models with a ceiling mount, since it will be impossible to do this with elements of wall fasteners.

For a small space or a spacious studio apartment, which, in addition to the bed, should be equipped with a variety of other functional elements, a hammock or a narrow model with a wall mount is perfect.

When mounting at the wall, special attention should be paid to the angle formed between the wall and the headboard. The angle should be strictly straight and the surface of the bed should be strictly parallel to the floor.
