  • it is better to stay 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 a lot of effort during the folding process;
  • the best choice for a transformer bed is a light latex mattress, it has good orthopedic properties and at the same time 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.

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

The double transformer bed is a trend of our time!

Double bed transformer - a full bed in a small apartment

The transforming bed allows you to organize a functional living space without cluttering the usable area of \u200b\u200bthe room. Assembled furniture occupies no more than 1 m2 of area. A double folding bed is appropriate in the interior of the living room, which simultaneously functions as a bedroom, in the guest room, in the children's and teenage bedrooms, in studio apartments.

A sleeping bed with a transformation system in a small apartment has obvious advantages over traditional furniture for sleeping and relaxing, the main of which, of course, is the rational distribution of square meters.

In addition to saving space, a built-in sleeping place in the interior of a small apartment is a concern for your health. Resting on a full bed for two cannot be compared to sleeping on a sofa bed. A double folding sleeping bed will provide a comfortable healthy sleep, and, accordingly, an excellent mood while awake.

The furniture market offers a huge variety of built-in furniture models, a large assortment allows you to choose a double transformer bed, which will ideally fit into the interior of your home, will become its "highlight".

How is a double folding bed

The double bed with a folding mechanism is a full-fledged double sleeping place, built into a niche and hidden by the front part. Hinges are used to connect the cabinet and the bed; during installation, the furniture module is attached to the wall by means of anchor bolts.

Installation of the wardrobe bed is carried out exclusively to the main wall.

The transformation of the cabinet into a full-fledged berth is carried out by means of a lifting mechanism. The design of the wardrobe bed provides for the presence of legs. In some models, retractable legs are hidden in niches, in others they are made in the form of shelves or a curved steel pipe.

The front part of the wardrobe bed can be made of various materials:

  • wood;
  • plastic;
  • laminated chipboard or MDF;
  • metal;
  • mirrors.

In the manufacture of chipboard panels, special adhesive mixtures are used. People prone to allergies should refuse to choose such furniture.

On the furniture market, there are models of built-in beds with two types of folding:

  • horizontal;
  • vertical.

In models with a horizontal type of folding, the lifting mechanism is located on the long side of the bed. Thus, when unfolding, the berth is along the wall.

In transformer beds with a vertical orientation, the mechanism presses the berth against the wall, when unfolding, a double bed folding from the wall
goes down and is perpendicular to the wall.

In the design of double lifting beds, a vertical folding system is mainly used.

Types of folding mechanisms, their structure and feature

The lifting mechanism is an important component of transforming furniture, the quality and type of which determines the performance of the piece of furniture. Two types of mechanisms are used in the designs of double transformer beds:

  • spring;
  • gas.

In spring models, coil springs play a key role. The principle of the mechanism is based on the stretching of the springs. The lifting mechanism consists of two main elements - a box and a spring block with an adjusting bolt, which are fastened together with a steel bracket. The service life of the spring block is designed for 20,000 working cycles.

In gas mechanisms, nitrogen gas acts as a working medium. The design includes a gas filled piston, metal axle and steel swivel plates. Swivel plates are located around the axis and are mounted on a bed or wardrobe. When lowering and raising the bed, the plates rotate axially, and the gas shock absorber provides an even load, reducing human efforts to a minimum.

The advantages of the spring block over the gas "brother":

  • aesthetic appearance - unlike gas models, in which a gas shock absorber and a steel swivel plate are visible in the unfolded position of the bed, the components of the spring mechanism are almost completely hidden;
  • adjusting possibilities - spring mechanisms have a wide range of force regulation. The power of the mechanism can be adjusted by tightening the springs with an adjusting screw or by removing one or more springs. This is not possible in models with gas shock absorbers;
  • pricing policy - a double bed with a lifting mechanism on springs costs much less than an analogue on gas shock absorbers.

The key advantages of a gas lift are:

  • smooth running, provided the correct selection of the mechanism for power (in order to choose the right device, you need to take into account the weight and dimensions of the sleeping bed);
  • ease of use;
  • service life up to 50 years.

Types of double beds transformers

In addition to the 2 in 1 models, presented in the form of a wardrobe-bed scheme, there are many modifications of transforming furniture on the modern furniture market. Types of double beds of transformers presented by models in the 3 in 1 format are:

  • wardrobe bed with sofa;
  • wardrobe bed with table;
  • secret bed.

Double wardrobe bed

Wardrobe-bed with a sofa, when folded at the bottom of the structure, a soft, cozy sofa. Such a piece of furniture is ideal for decorating a living room, a soft sofa will serve as a place to relax, read and watch TV. While the bed is dismantled, the sofa serves as an additional support, increasing the load-bearing capacity of the sleeping bed. The sofa has a spacious storage compartment for bedding.

Double bed transformer with table

In transformers with a table, a berth by simple manipulations turns into a tabletop. The model with a table is appropriate in the interior of a children's and teenage room, as well as a study. The advantage of this design is the fact that when the berth is folded, the tabletop does not change its location in space, as do the objects located on the table.

Hidden double folding beds


Models with a secret bed. The sleeping place is hidden on the other side of the cabinet. The wardrobe is equipped with a swivel mechanism, when the module for storing things is rotated, a folding bed hidden in its depths appears. The mechanism is controlled remotely.

How to choose a double bed transformer - sleeper device

The main structural elements of the bed are:

  • frame - can be made of different types of materials (metal, wood, chipboard, MDF);
  • orthopedic base on lamellas - bent slats made of glued wood have the property of absorbing the load on the human body, support the sleeping spine in an anatomically correct position. The battens are attached to the frame using battens. Three types of holders are used in the designs of rack bases:
  • for wooden frames - targeting plate holders;
  • for metal frames - mortise and overhead.

The lattice base of a double bed can consist of two berths or bent slats located along the entire width of the frame.

The dimensions of the bed for a double wardrobe-bed coincide with the standard parameters of a traditional bed for two and are 140x200 cm and 160x200 cm.

In the model range of transforming beds, you can find specimens with a bed width of 170 cm.But it should be remembered that the larger the dimensions of the sleeping bed, the higher the load on the supporting structures. Before choosing this size, assess the permissible wall load.

The height of the mattress depends on the depth of the box. The standard thickness of the mattress for double folding beds is from 15 to 25 cm. To fix the mattress and bedding on the bed, located in an upright position, special straps are provided with snap locks.

A double bed transformer for a small apartment will provide comfort during sleep and freedom of movement around the room in the daytime. The transformer furniture thought out to the smallest detail will not only save space, but also make the interior stylish, modern and extraordinary!

Convertible furniture for small apartment - the ability to organize a comfortable and convenient living space, despite the lack of space. Such furniture allows not only to unload the space, but also to make it more functional by combining several different zones on the same area. The topic of transforming furniture has always been relevant - mass urban development did not indulge its owners with large apartments, so various types of roll-out (folding) sofas as well as various options for book tables have become a common attribute of city apartments. But, thanks to technical evolution and design creativity, today there are designs that are able not only to radically change their shape, but also look very attractive and aesthetically pleasing.

Wardrobe-bed-transformer: an undoubted gain in space

Where and how to place the bed is the most problematic moment for owners of small two- and one-room apartments... The problem can be partially solved by a sofa bed - the most famous and widespread example of transforming furniture with a folding or sliding part. However, recently, transformers such as " wardrobe bed". When assembled, they are just a wardrobe, the facade of which is made taking into account the stylistic features of the room design. A special lifting mechanism allows you to quickly unfold a full bed.

A bed in a closet has a number of advantages over a sofa bed:

  • compactness - in terms of area, the drawer-wardrobe, where the bed is removed, takes up significantly less space (less than one square space) than a sofa, because the main useful area of \u200b\u200bthe bed in the assembled state is located in height along the wall
  • such a bed has no joints that are formed when the sofa is unfolded
  • the basis of the structure is a metal frame and lamellas (they enhance the orthopedic effect), on which the orthopedic mattress is laid - in combination, this ensures a healthy sleep without undue stress on the spine
  • no need for additional laundry drawer - it is fixed with special straps and retracted inside the closet, so that in the evening you don't even have to change the bed.

The built-in folding bed can be as singleas well as full double... At the same time, double, rather bulky beds, are equipped with a vertical folding mechanism, but single beds are horizontal, which makes it possible to place various shelves or decorative elements above the niche. In the latter case, the unfolded bed will resemble a sofa tightly set against the wall. In addition, such a bed can be decorated under a closed shelf or chest of drawers. To make the rest as comfortable as possible, built-in spotlights are installed in the upper part of the cabinet, which will provide the sleeping place with lighting of the desired intensity. The wardrobe bed itself may include not only a compartment in which the bed is laid, but compartments for storing necessary things.

Varieties of mechanisms

The transforming furniture is equipped with swing-out mechanisms, each of which has its own disadvantages and advantages:

  • Retractable mechanism. Differs in ease of management and safety. In models with such a device, there is usually room for bedding.
  • Folding mechanism. It is dangerous that during transformation it can fall or pinch an arm or leg. Beds fixed to the wall are very space-saving when assembled and allow you to place built-in shelves above them.

In addition, the folding mechanisms can be gas-lift or spring-loaded. Spring loaders are considered more durable and reliable because of their simplicity. There is practically nothing to break in the spring. But some effort is needed to transform such devices, therefore, it is not recommended for older people to purchase models with a spring device.

Gas-lift devices are not as reliable, but with proper operation they will last long enough. Furniture with this mechanism unfolds without effort. The only drawback of a gas lift is that furniture with it is much more expensive.

Which of the described types of transformers to choose depends only on the preferences of the owner of the apartment and the possibility of accommodation. But there are some nuances to dwell on:

  • Frame material. Transformers are made with a frame made of MDF, chipboard, wood or metal. Recently, metal structures that are distinguished by their reliability and strength have gained particular popularity. Wood is an environmentally friendly material, not inferior in strength to metal. But chipboard and MDF are unreliable, it is better to refuse this option.

  • The quality of the mattress. Usually the mattress comes in one set with furniture, but does not always meet the requirements of the buyer. If it is possible to purchase a mattress separately, you need to clarify its dimensions. They must match the size of the bed. Particular attention should be paid to children's mattresses, the child's posture will depend on the correct position in a dream. The best mattress fillers are coconut fiber or latex foam.

  • Furniture size. The length of the berth should correspond to the height of the person and have a margin of fifteen centimeters. To determine a comfortable width, lie down and put your hands behind your head. If the elbows fit within the dimensions of the berth, it fits.

  • Safety and structural strength. These parameters are especially important for a bed in a nursery.

Outcome

A transforming bed for a small apartment is an excellent opportunity to use space rationally. A wide range of models allows you to choose furniture that matches the size and design. When buying, you should pay attention to the quality of the folding mechanism and the compliance of the bed with physiological parameters.

Many Russians cannot boast of spacious apartments and many rooms. Small apartments do not please with the abundance of free space. If you manage to fit a double bed into the bedroom, then the owners have to squeeze past it sideways. Instead of a large, comfortable bed, folding sofa beds are purchased, which are also bulky and do not contribute to the final solution of the problem.
