Sofa beds

It is this type of transformable furniture, such as a sofa, that can most often be found in one-room apartments, dormitories. Their low price, the uniqueness of the design allows almost everyone to make such a profitable purchase.

Their assortment is not limited to a banal sofa with a book, in furniture stores you can also find a sofa with a pull-out mechanism, when the sleeping place is compactly hidden in a niche along with metal legs, as shown in the photo. In addition, you can find the following options for bed sofas: with an accordion system, with an adjustable backrest, unfolding models, pull-out, roll-out, recliners, a sofa with a modular system, and so on.

Bed sofas can vary in type of mechanism:

• folding (book, click-gag) - the place to sleep is increased by lowering the back to the level of the seat;
• unfolding (accordion) - the mechanism works according to the principle of an accordion;
• retractable (eurobook, roll-out) - to unfold the structure, it is enough to roll out the base, and lower the back to the vacant space.

Vertical extension

Often, a transformer bed with a vertical folding mechanism is presented in the form of a double bed, which allows you to save at least 3 square meters of living space. Minimalist architects have managed to create a perfect structure, which is assembled cabinet furniture, as shown in the photo.

The system works due to a spring or pneumatic lifting mechanism, while the berth is hidden away in a special box, harmoniously complementing the appearance of the structure. In this case, the lower part of the bed can be supplemented with other decorative elements, for example, a mirror or miniature shelves, as shown in the photo.

The most common are beds with a gas lift system, when the side panels of furniture are complemented by book shelves and mezzanines for storing bed linen. Also, there are often models that transform into a desk or wardrobe in compact sizes, which are ideal for a miniature children's room.

Horizontal roll-out

This option will look good in a children's room or a guest room in a miniature apartment. This mechanism is even more compact than the vertical one. At the same time, the fastening of the berth is securely screwed to another element of the present furniture - a wardrobe, a table, a wall, a photo.

The mounts are often located on the longer side of the bed, which reduces stress and allows for cheaper and less powerful mechanisms. Such designs can be found in furniture for children: bunk beds or so-called loft beds.

Modern models are represented by original control carried out remotely through the remote control or by pressing a special button. Thanks to the ease of use, the child can unfold and fold his bed himself.

With rotating or pivoting mechanism

Such furniture will become a real decoration of the house, but it should be understood that much more space for its location will be required than for the previous options. A swivel or swivel bed is a luxurious and aristocratic interior element for a spacious apartment or a country house, as shown in the selection of photos.

The fastening principle is not much different from horizontal beds, furniture becomes the basis - bookcases, wall bars with niches and so on. And the control is carried out exclusively remotely, therefore, when creating such models, strong metal alloys are used for the fastening system.

Built in wardrobe and table

Compact and practical beds that can be removed into the closet will be a real boon for a small room, for example, a miniature living room or bedroom. Various modifications allow you to choose the furniture option that is most suitable for the quadrature and style: one and double, for children, with a vertical and horizontal mechanism.

Bed cabinets may differ in the folding mechanism:

• folding - pneumatic springs are responsible for lowering the structure to a horizontal position;
• swing-out - swivel joints facilitate operation.

The bed table is suitable for small children's rooms, the photo shows that with the help of a convenient mechanism in the daytime it is a desk for games, study, drawing, and at night the bed table turns into a sleeping place for the baby.

Thanks to the hinged mechanism, the structure is easily folded and unfolded. As for the table, it can be mounted both longitudinally and transversely. There are also lifting mechanisms when the berth rises, making room for a folding or portable table.

What material to choose

When choosing transforming furniture, you should pay special attention to the materials from which the bed frame is made. Among the offered assortment you can find models made of the following materials:

• noble wood species.

Chipboard beds are a budget option that everyone can afford. If we talk about quality, then such a material is unable to withstand the daily load exerted on it for a long time, therefore, the operational periods of transformer beds made of chipboard are limited to 2-3 years.

Transformers from MDF are more durable, models from this raw material can be found in the model range of domestic and foreign manufacturers, and their operational life will be at least 5 years. The beds of their solid natural wood will last the longest, but at the same time you need to understand that the weight of the product will be much greater. Therefore, the preparation of the surface where the system will be attached must be approached thoroughly so that it can withstand the permissible load.

An equally important point is the emphasis on the metal from which the fastening system, lifting mechanisms and legs are made. Heavy metal alloys do not deform and are able to withstand a lot of weight, they should be preferred when choosing a transformer for your home, photo.

Dimensions

The dimensional grid of the transforming models is not much different from the standard ones and fully complies with the requirements of GOST. The transformer can be provided for children from 0 to 10 years old and has its own sizes.

The lineup for adults can be roughly divided into three types: single, one-and-a-half and double. Single beds produced by domestic manufacturers can vary in width from 70 to 90 cm.While foreign brands offer more spacious options for one berth, the width of which is 90-100 cm.The length of the bed is 1.9-2 meters ... This option is perfect for teens and low-weight adults.

One-and-a-half transformer beds are larger and provide freedom of sleep for one person, but for two there will not be enough space. The standard width is up to 1.4 meters, and the length is 1.9-2 m.A truly royal option for a bedroom will be a double bed, the dimensions of which are 1.4x2 meters and 1.6x2 m.But among modern models you can also find specimens, width which will be 170 cm, which is not very practical for transformers, because you should not forget about the load on the wall.

Which mechanism is more reliable

The main element of any transformer bed is the lifting mechanism, the reliability of which ensures the durability of the product. Today there are several types of such mechanisms:

• spring;
• gas lift;
• with counterweight.

Gaslift
Manual
Spring loaded

If we compare the spring model and the gas lift, then the second option is the best, which can work up to 90 thousand cycles. The problem with the spring mechanism is that the springs can become loose over time. Because of this, such mechanisms work up to 20 thousand cycles.

The main problem of budget housing is the lack of free space. For this reason, many are forced to abandon, using uncomfortable narrow ones. It turns out that there is a simple and original solution - a transformer bed. For a small apartment, this is the best option. What are, what to be guided by when buying and how much such models cost - in this material.

Thanks to such furniture, even a small room can easily accommodate a double bed.

• it is better to dwell on a model without springs, it is not known how the springs will behave in a vertical arrangement;

• you should not buy a mattress filled with coke shavings, it is very heavy, this will create an additional load on the mechanism and require more effort during the folding process;
• the best choice for a transformer bed is a light latex mattress, it has good orthopedic properties and retains its shape for a long time.

Varieties of transformation mechanisms

The most important part of such a bed is the transformation mechanism. There are three types of mechanisms:

• spring;
• gas lift;
• counterweight.

Each of them has its own working resource. The gas lift is guaranteed to work ninety thousand times.

For your information!It is better if the gas lift is filled with nitrogen rather than air. With such a filling, corrosion of parts will not form.

The spring design will last only twenty thousand cycles. Springs tend to stretch and lose their elasticity. But they are much cheaper than a gas lift.

The most durable of the presented mechanisms is the counterweight. Its only drawback is the need to allocate space to accommodate the counterweight. Such devices are rarely found on the market, they are usually used in hand-made models.

Useful advice! When choosing furniture with a dual purpose, it is better to choose a model with a metal frame.

Wanting to get a spacious kitchen, bedroom and living room in a small apartment, it is not necessary to redevelop. Choosing for yourself multifunctional transforming furniture, you can significantly increase the functionality of your premises. Such furniture will also become a decoration for your interior.

Transformation of a living room into a bedroom and vice versa

The desire to sleep on an orthopedic mattress is not always dictated by a whim, sometimes it is a necessity. Previously, all this was easily solved with a separate bedroom, and the owners of a one-room apartment did not even count on such a luxury. Making a bedroom out of the only living room is also not an option, since you need to receive guests somewhere. The situation will be saved by multifunctional transforming furniture.

Turn the wardrobe bed into a sofa

With the advent of transforming furniture, there is no need to choose between sleeping on a flat surface or a sofa. The familiar wardrobe bed can be complemented by a sofa that hides when it is unfolded.

With the help of a lifting mechanism, it quickly retracts into a niche.

If you have an elongated room, it is better to choose the option where the unfolded bed is located sideways to the wall, and not perpendicular. The sofa in this model is much wider, and the bed itself does not block the passage.

For square rooms where it is not possible to install a wide sofa, choose a perpendicular bed layout. Since they are no more than one and a half meters wide, you can put a desk or other furniture nearby.

Hide the bed in the wall

In studios, there is often an option when the hall resembles a living room: in the middle there is a couch, a table and a home theater. In order not to disturb the design, the bed can be built into the wall and lowered only at night. On the bottom, you can install a shelf or apply a pattern.

This design is ideal for people who do not want to dine in tight quarters or who often receive guests. In this case, only cooking is done in the kitchen, and the dining table is placed in the living room.

Transformation of a small chest into a table with ottomans

If there is absolutely no place for organizing a recreation area, put a transforming chest. Inside it are ottomans with folding legs, and it itself turns into a stable table. The top of the chest opens like a book, doubling the area.

Inside there is an empty space where you can put a tea set, CDs or books.

Three in one - a coffee table, an ottoman and a folding bed

Often, students are forced to share one room with several people. Multifunctional furniture will help you save space and add stylish touches.

You can increase the number of berths by placing transformers that combine:

• ottoman;
• armchair;
• clamshell.

If you connect the bodies together, you can get a large dining table with low ottomans from several of these structures. Having disassembled them, you get several chairs for watching a movie together.

TV wall, dressing room and bed in one set

Such a miracle cube is suitable even for those who live in a hostel, not to mention a one-room apartment. On a small patch of 2x1 meter, there is a dressing room, a single bed and a spacious wall.

If you are the lucky owner of an apartment with a niche, you can build a mini nursery there using such a structure and a screen.

Invisible nursery in the common room

Families living in a small apartment with children are always looking for options for arranging furniture so as to zone the area and leave aisles. With the advent of transforming furniture, you can transform one room into another.

Hiding children's beds in the wall or desks, and adults in the closet, we get a spacious living room, and vice versa, putting everything back in its place - the bedroom.

Folding bunk beds in the wall

These beds resemble the shelves in trains, but thanks to the participation of the designer, they were completely hidden. The bed linen is easily hidden inside the closet, and the hall has a spacious and neat look.

The top shelf is equipped with a safety stop that prevents falling.

Bed in writing desk

For a family with one child, the option with a bed in the desk may be suitable. Both can be easily removed if guests come.

When assembled, such a "constructor" resembles a small bar counter. By raising the tabletop, we get a work surface for creativity, and by opening the base, we get a single bed.

Bookcase hiding a single bed

Folding beds do not always perform only one function; there are models that can accommodate several bookshelves and even a nightstand. Choosing a folding bed with a rotating base, you do not have to empty the shelves every time before folding the bed.

The lifting mechanism of the bed is attached to one side, and shelves and a bedside table on the other, so there is no need to tilt the entire base.

Converting a small kitchen into a dining room for lunch

If you dream of a spacious kitchen, then transforming furniture will help to fulfill the dream even for owners of a five-meter area. The space expands not visually, but in reality. True, you have to "get rid" of the dining table every time you prepare food, but thanks to a well-thought-out design, this is done in a couple of minutes.

Dining table and chairs inside kitchen shelves

Each kitchen needs a closet with shelves where the hostess places dishes and various spices. This option contains not only little things, but also a dining table with four full chairs.

The table consists of two halves, since the depth of the cabinet does not allow it to fit entirely, and the chairs are placed quite normally. An outsider who enters the kitchen will not even understand that they are inside, and the hostess will be able to move freely from the countertop to the refrigerator and stove.

Disappearing dining table in a small kitchen

For a small country-style kitchen, a reclining wooden platform with benches is suitable. With one movement of your hand, you lay out a full dining table.

5 stools in one ottoman

Nowhere to store chairs? Please, an ottoman with hidden stools. Inside it there are 5 bases, each of them is smaller than the other, due to which they are assembled like nesting dolls. The soft walls of the ottoman are the seats of the stools.

Stools are assembled and disassembled very quickly, even a child can handle it.

Remove the mirror from the wall and get the dining table

Women will appreciate the mirror table. After dinner, fold the legs and hang the table on the wall, turning it over with the mirrored side. Fasteners under the "mirror" can be installed in the corridor, and if necessary, remove and carry it.

This table can be easily installed in any room. If you live alone, then you don't need a large table. But when guests arrive, you remove the mirror from the wall and set the table.

Thanks to properly selected furniture, we can change rooms beyond recognition, each time getting free space.
