Tables-beds transformers

Modern homes are so small, and you need to put so much in them. That is why transforming furniture has become so popular lately. She can combine several different objects at once. So, comfortable and functional table-beds can serve as a bed and a workplace. Let's get acquainted with such models closer.

Advantages and disadvantages

A very limited footage of an apartment or a private house makes the owners choose furniture more carefully. It should be not only comfortable and of high quality, but also practical. For compact homes the most successful options are transforming models. At present, bed-tables are in great demand. Such furnishings combine two functional areas, allowing you to significantly save the free space of the room.

When folded, such furniture does not reveal its potential and does not seem cumbersome. But after you decompose a similar model, you will see a multifunctional design on which you can sleep and work. Especially often similar options are purchased for children's rooms and bedrooms for teenagers. So, the child will be able to have a good sleep on a similar bed, and then do homework at the folding table.

Often, such transformers are equipped with additional drawers, cabinets and shelves (in another way - a wardrobe-bed-table).

They can be located above the bed or on the sides of the main frame. Thanks to such additions, it is possible to refuse the use of wardrobe and shelving in the room, since their role will be able to take on the addition of a table-bed.

Modern products-transformers are available in a variety of stylistic directions. Also in the shops you can find options made from various materials. You can choose a suitable copy for every taste, color and wallet.

The main disadvantage of such furniture is that it has a lot of auxiliary parts that are prone to breakage.

As you know, the simpler the design, the more reliable it is. In this case, the opposite is true.As a rule, transforming beds are equipped with complex mechanisms that, after regular use, can fail and break.

Varieties and designs

The table bed a transformer is more suitable for a nursery. Most often, this furniture is a duet desktop and a bed for sleeping. If necessary, one or another component of the structure can be "activated" as follows:

  • raising the table and turning the bed from the vertical to the horizontal position;
  • a one-time turn of a bed for a dream and a table at which it is not necessary to remove things from the working surface;
  • horizontal departure of the bed from the niche located in the lower part of the table;
  • changing the position and purpose of modular elements.

Today in furniture stores you can find a special transformer with a berth and table top, which is designed for the smallest.

The bases in such variants are equipped with comfortable beds, as well as a chest of drawers with a changing table. If the dwelling does not have a separate children's bedroom, then you can turn to multifunctional models that fold into the sofa,and after transformation they are reincarnated into a full-fledged sleeping place with a table or a high two-level bed.

The second option is especially useful if the apartment has two children. They will be able to comfortably accommodate on different floors of the bunk bed, without interfering with each other.

The table bed a transformer is an excellent decision for the school student. There are well-thought-out models in which, besides the table and the bed, there are shelves and pedestals assembled into a single functional composition. In addition, more recently, improved specimens have appeared in which there are fixed or mobile berths intended for a second child.

One of the most popular are folding beds with table function. Often they have large storage systems. They can also be supplemented with cabinets and shelves on which books, figurines and various decorative objects can be placed.

Materials and colors

Multifunctional table-beds are made of both expensive and cheap materials, so the buyer can buy the appropriate option with any budget:

LDSP and MDF

The most accessible and frequently occurring are simple models of chipboard or MDF. Such raw materials are not distinguished by high cost, since they consist of wood waste and are not particularly valuable. Furniture made from these materials, often has a fairly simple design. It is very difficult to find a really stylish and designer model made of laminated chipboard or MDF.

Special attention should be paid to the composition of such material as chipboard. It contains toxic formaldehyde resins evaporating under high temperature conditions.

These substances are harmful to human health, so today many furniture factories use material of a safer class E-1, which contains a minimum amount of resins. Also a good alternative to malicious furniture will be folding beds, decorated with veneer. These options are more expensive, but is it really important money question when it comes to health.

Wood

If you are looking for not only environmentally friendly and safe, but also a beautiful option, then you should look at the durable and durable transformer beds made of natural wood.They cost much more than the available products from chipboard, but their performance characteristics more than justify the price. Most often, producers use an array of oak, alder, beech, hevea, pine and birch.

Any kind of wood requires special care. In order for the furniture to last as long as possible, not to lose an attractive appearance and not to lose a bright color, it must be treated with special protective compounds.

Iron

The leaders in durability and strength are iron table-beds. They do not require special care and do not lose their presentation even after many years. Such furniture is less common than wood products or MDF. This is due to the fact that any metal is cold and it is not very pleasant to touch it.

In addition, a multifunctional transforming bed with a table made from such raw materials will weigh quite a lot, and it will be problematic to move it from one place to another.

Heavy iron bed-table can leave ugly marks and dents on the floor covering, which is unlikely to get rid of.

Today, the furniture market has a huge number of transforming beds of various colors.In addition to traditional patterns with a natural pattern and a touch of natural wood, there are brighter and more original options. For example, it may be a yellow solar model or a bold red design. Versatile products are classic white and brown. They fit easily into any environment.

  • The most common are models with a bed width of 75, 80, 90 and 100 cm.
  • The length can be 190-200 cm.
  • Most often tabletops have a length and width of 65x190 cm.

Transformation mechanism

Comfortable beds, tables are equipped with the following mechanisms to ensure their full operation:

  • Spring-loaded. Such designs are easy to use and are inexpensive, but quickly fail, because the springs in them stretch and lose elasticity. These parts are not subject to repair, therefore in case of big wear they will have to be changed.
  • Gas lift (or gas shock absorbers). This mechanism is more reliable and practical. It works very smoothly and silently. Designs with gas shock absorbers are designed for heavy loads.
  • With a counterweight. One of the most simple, cheap and durable are transforming mechanisms with a counterweight. But for such models, additional space is required for the traction element inside the furniture.
  • Rolling. Such mechanisms are very common today. They are installed in structures with an extra bed, sliding horizontally.

How to choose?

  • The size. To begin, measure the room in which you put the furniture. It should fit perfectly into the existing layout, without interfering with the passage.
  • Materials If you are looking for an eco-friendly and the most beautiful option, then you will fit the design of natural wood. But these things are expensive. If the budget does not allow, you can look at cheap transformers from MDF or chipboard. If you are looking for a high-strength model, then there is simply no equal to iron products.
  • Mechanisms. The most reliable and durable mechanisms are with counterweights, but using them, you have to make an effort. Gas lifts are considered more comfortable and modern, but furniture with such systems today is quite expensive. Remains spring mechanism. It is the most unreliable and short-lived, but is inexpensive.
  • Design. Do not forget that the table-bed should ideally fit the interior of the room both in style and in color.
