Double bed transformer - a full bed in a small apartment
A transforming bed allows you to organize a functional living space without cluttering up the usable area of the room. When assembled, the furniture occupies no more than 1 m2 of space. A double folding bed is appropriate in the interior of the living room, which simultaneously functions as a bedroom, in a guest room, a children's and teenage bedroom, 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 bed in the interior of a small apartment is a concern for your health. Resting on a full-fledged bed for two cannot be compared with sleeping on a folding sofa. The double folding bed will provide comfortable healthy sleep, and, accordingly, a good mood during wakefulness.
The furniture market offers a huge variety of models of built-in furniture, a large assortment allows you to choose a transformer double bed that fits perfectly into the interior of your home, will become its "highlight".
How is a double folding bed
A double bed with a folding mechanism is a full-fledged double sleeping place, built into a niche and hidden by the facade. 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 sleeping place 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:
- tree;
- plastic;
- laminated chipboard or MDF;
- metal;
- mirrors.
In the manufacture chipboard boards special adhesive mixtures. People prone to allergies should refuse to choose such furniture.
On the furniture market, models of built-in beds with two types of unfolding are presented:
- horizontal;
- vertical.
In models with a horizontal type of unfolding, the lifting mechanism is located on the long side of the bed. Thus, when unfolding, the bed is located along the wall.
In transforming beds with a vertical orientation, the mechanism presses the bed against the wall, when unfolded, a double bed folding from the wall
descends and is perpendicular to the wall.
In the designs of double lifting beds, a vertical folding system is mainly used.
Types of folding mechanisms, their device and feature
lifting mechanism- an important component of transforming furniture, the quality and type of which depend performance characteristics piece of furniture. In the designs of double transforming beds, two types of mechanisms are used:
- spring;
- gas.
In spring models, coil springs play a key role. The principle of operation of the mechanism is based on the tension of the springs. The lifting mechanism consists of two main elements - a box and spring block with an adjusting bolt, which are fastened together with a steel bracket. The operating life of the spring block is designed for 20,000 operating cycles.
In gas mechanisms as working environment nitrogen gas comes out. The design includes a piston filled with gas, a metal axle and steel turning plates. Rotary plates are located around the axis and mounted on a bed or wardrobe. When lowering and raising the bed, the plates rotate along the axis, and the gas shock absorber provides a uniform load, reducing the effort applied by a person to a minimum.
The advantages of the spring block over the gas "brother":
- aesthetic appearance - in contrast to gas models in which, in the unfolded position of the bed, a gas shock absorber and a steel rotary plate are visible, the nodes of the spring mechanism are almost completely hidden;
- adjustment options - spring mechanisms have a wide range of force regulation. The power of the mechanism can be adjusted by tightening the springs with the adjusting screw or by removing one or more springs. In models on gas shock absorbers, this possibility is not available;
- 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 correct selection mechanism by power (in order to choose the right device, you need to take into account the weight and dimensions of the sleeping bed);
- ease of operation;
- service life up to 50 years.
Types of transformer double beds
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 transformer double beds presented by models in 3 in 1 format are:
- wardrobe bed with sofa;
- wardrobe-bed with table;
- secret bed.
Double wardrobe bed
Wardrobe bed with a sofa when folding in the lower part of the structure, a soft cozy sofa. This 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 disassembled, the sofa acts as an additional support, increasing bearing capacity sleeping bed. The sofa has a spacious storage compartment for bedding.
Double bed transformer with table
In transformers with a table, the bed turns into a tabletop by simple manipulations. 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 folding the bed, the tabletop does not change its location in space, as well as the objects located on the table.
Hidden double folding beds
Models with secret bed. The bed is hidden on the other side of the closet. The cabinet is equipped swivel mechanism, when the storage module is opened, a folding bed hidden in its bowels appears. The mechanism is controlled remotely.
How to choose a double bed transformer - sleeping arrangement
Main structural elements sleeping quarters are:
- frame - can be made of different types materials (metal, wood, chipboard, MDF);
- orthopedic base on lamellas - bent slats made of glued wood have the ability to absorb the load on the human body, support the sleeping spine in an anatomically correct position. The armor is attached to the frame with the help of armor holders. In the construction of rack bases, three types of holders are used:
- For wooden frames- aiming lat holders;
- For metal frames- mortise and overhead.
The slatted base of a double bed can consist of two berths or bent slats located across 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 model range 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 bearing structures. Before choosing this size, evaluate the allowable load on the wall.
The height of the mattress depends on the depth of the box. Standard Thickness 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, there are special belts equipped with latches.
Double bed transformer for a small apartment will provide comfort during sleep and freedom of movement around the room during the day. Transformer furniture thought out to the smallest detail will not only save space, but also make the interior stylish, modern and extraordinary!

P.S. We do not sell furniture, we only help you get acquainted with what happens and navigate in the choice.
As the owner of a small apartment, I always have a special interest in various types folding furniture. I especially like multifunctional transformers, for example, beds that turn into wardrobes, sofas into desks and other similar things. It's nice that designers think about us (or do they think globally - about overpopulation?) and create such pieces of furniture that will help to transform our 10 sq.m bedroom into a living room or office in one minute with a “light movement of the hand”.
Today I want to show the most interesting examples of folding furniture. You can buy most of the transformer beds presented at the TRANSMEB store in Moscow. Let's look at the photos for inspiration. Perhaps some of them will be of interest to our men who assemble furniture with their own hands.
Transformer: from bed to closet
Let's start with a wand one-room apartments – lifting bed. This type of furniture is well known in our country. The lifting mechanism allows you to press the bed against the wall, freeing up free passage. There are many models of such devices, the models look most interesting when the bed (in the assembled state) visually merges with the situation, for example, as in this photo of a teenage boy's room it turns into a closet.
Here is another example of a transforming bed, obviously cheaper. Suitable for a student's or student's room in a minimalist style.
By the way, among folding single beds there are quite interesting ideas- for example, this one is quite cleverly camouflaged under a closed shelf or chest of drawers.
I really like transforming beds for small children's rooms. Look how beautiful and practical option for one child in this photo.
And in this photo we see a bunk bed transformer, a wonderful invention for small apartments. There is a linen shelf on top.
This room interior with a pull-out double bed for adults looks very stylish. It seems there is even too much free space here, I wonder what caused the need to take just such a bed? Most likely, this is a studio apartment.
In foreign sources, there is an alternative version of a lifting bed. The bed is not removed to the wall, but on special guides, like in an elevator, it rises above your head. For little ones narrow rooms the idea is just great! It remains to be hoped that this design is also reliable.
Transformer: bed-desk
An interesting idea for children's and teen rooms is a bed combined with a workplace. However, some samples are also suitable for adults, for example, such as in the photo below:
There are several design options for such models, remember the yellow bed in the very first photo? Its mechanism moves the desktop not down, but up. And this is how it looks after the transformation, enlivening the interior with rich pink.
Of course, there are folding beds of a similar design and double sizes. 
Transformer: sofa bed
There are transformers that combine a bed and a sofa. It seems that there is nothing unusual here - most sofas can be laid out, providing a sleeping place. In general, I agree, although when the sofa is taken apart bunk bed- that's impressive.
The rest of the transformers that I came across are more commonplace and follow the same idea as the “bed-desktop” in design. And yet it seems to me that for our small rooms it is better not to invent, but to buy a normal folding sofa. It will definitely cost less than such an invention!
Useful transformers for small apartments
Tired of beds? Me too... But I also wanted to tell you about other types of similar furniture. I'll try to be shorter. When I wrote on the topic, I gave several options folding tables. There are many noteworthy ideas in this area, but for today I will limit myself to two examples.
I really liked this idea of a sliding table (I found it a long time ago, on the blog of an overseas young lady), but I never figured out how it works. Why a facade is used instead of a leg (everything seems to be in place) and how such a long table fits into a cabinet 60 cm deep has remained a mystery to me. I would be grateful if someone could reveal this secret to me.
I would like to mention another wonderful design invention for small living rooms. This is a combination in one design of a coffee table and a dining table. I myself have been looking at this for a long time, only the price, in my opinion, in our stores for them is too high. Although there are quite decent options in online stores, for example, at prices 2-3 times lower than in regular stores.
The rational use of each square centimeter is the task of many families. Too many people live in small apartments. In this case, furniture transformer will help. Eat different models For various premises: for bedroom, kitchen, hallway, nursery, living room. There is no such furniture only in the bathroom or toilet. Yes, and that will probably appear soon.
Types and types
Transformable furniture is convenient if the area of \u200b\u200bthe room is small. For small apartments, this is a lifesaver. Another area is if the room is multifunctional. This is also typical for apartments with a small area. For spacious houses or apartments, this is not necessary. Unless for the organization of extra beds during the visits of guests.
Either way, folded or unfolded, it looks great.
Basically, transformer furniture in one item combines two types of items. Moreover, most of them are associated with sleeping places. You can find: wardrobe-bed, table-bed, bed-sofa.
By the way, in the case of an example - a sofa bed - be careful. Do not confuse with the upholstered furniture popular with our grandmothers called "sofa bed". It was not the most comfortable sofa, which unfolded into something resembling a bed (also, by the way, not very comfortable).
In the current version, these are two different items combined into one. A full bed with a daytime mattress rises, representing a closet and part of the back of the sofa. It turns out to be available soft seat. It turns out a sofa. But not folding, but so to speak "stationary". Convenience to it, as a rule, is given by additional pillows. At night they are removed (there may be a storage box under the sofa seat) and the bed is lowered. So, as you can see, this is a completely different piece of furniture.
There is also transformer furniture, which is associated with the "appearance" of the table. Moreover, the table itself can have different purposes:
- to organize an additional (or main) workplace;
- to increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe dining table;
- for increase working surface in kitchen sets.
There are also triple transformers. Basically it is a wardrobe-bed-sofa or wardrobe-bed-table. They differ from double ones only in that the cabinet is large due to the non-transformable part with shelves.
Furniture transformer: pros and cons
The advantage of furniture transformers is obvious: they take up less space than two individual subject. That's all. There are no other benefits, really. But there are downsides:
In general, everything. If you still want to have transforming furniture, choose not only functionality and appearance. Pay attention to mechanisms. They should be made of good steel, the move should be easy. At the slightest problem when unfolding or folding, it is better to refuse the purchase.
Bed-transformer
All built-in beds are equipped with orthopedic mattresses that are attached to the frame. Basically, transformer furniture of this type is folding. In one state, the frame is raised vertically, held by spring or pneumatic holders. The furniture looks like a closet. In another position, the frame is lowered and rests with its legs on the floor. In this case, everything looks like a bed that stands next to the closet.
If you are going to buy a transforming bed of a lifting type, please note that it should stand near bearing wall. Since the structure is attached to the wall and it must withstand solid loads. So putting such furniture on a weak partition will not work. Is that roll-out models, but there are not so many of them and they do not have the same effects.
Wardrobe bed
Cabinet-beds differ in the orientation of the mattress relative to the surface of the cabinet. There are models that are attached to furniture with a long side, there are short ones. In the first version, the cabinet is wider, its upper part can be used intended purpose- as storage compartments.
This type of wall-transformer is suitable for narrow spaces. But only a single or one and a half bed can be built in. This view is also called the "horizontal folding bed" - the long part is located along the horizon.
Bunk beds are arranged in the same way. In them, two separate beds are located one above the other. When assembled, they look like a closet.
To climb to the second tier, put an attached ladder. This is where the main inconvenience lies. Firstly, it is far from safe, there are no railings at all. Secondly, it must be kept somewhere at a time when the beds are folded. In general, there are downsides. But there is also a huge plus - the space saving is very solid.
The advantage of this option is the lower price. These models do not require a lot of power of the lifting device, since the load on the mechanism is not so high. In the most budget options springs can be used. Due to this, the cost is reduced.
Furniture transformer: a vertical folding bed is convenient for small apartments
There are also models in which the bed is attached to the wall with a short part. Such models are sometimes called "vertical folding bed". Here the price is higher, since the loads on the mechanism responsible for lowering and raising are considerable. Pneumatic lifts are already used here, and they must be of good quality. There are even options with automatic drive and remote control.
In this option there are single, one-and-a-half and two-bed places. The larger the size, the more attention should be paid to the lift. You should also check the mattress fixation system. It must be reliable, but at the same time, it must be possible to remove the mattress for drying / disinfection without any problems.
Walls with built-in beds (transforming wall)
This is an even more solid and expensive type of transforming furniture. Part of the wall - lateral or central - can move away, revealing a vertical bed hidden behind it.
This furniture has no less functionality than a regular wall. Unless under it more space is required in terms of "depth" - so that you can move part of the cabinet. But all the shelves are functional, which is rare in transformable furniture. Even if they are of lesser depth than they could be at the same time in ordinary closet, but the bed is not visible during the daytime. View - business or official, the room can be a living room or dining room. And in the evening, with the bed down, it turns into a bedroom with a full bed.
Roll-out beds
Another transforming bed hides under a work, play or second bed. This option is most often used in children. It is safer, since the bed is low, which is important for children.
Pay attention to the photo. So that both the bed and the table are convenient to use, and the table and bed are pulled out. Very smart and compact. For small apartments - a great option for a nursery.
Another nuance: a box for storing linen under the bed. Basically, this place can be empty. In this case, you can do without a retractable tabletop, as the legs can be hidden under the folded bed.
Table transformer
not at all fewer models transformable tables. For living rooms, coffee tables-transformers are good, which are laid out in the dining room. A couple of movements and the living room turns into a dining room.
The methods of transformation are different, but mainly lifting and sliding tabletops are used. When folded, the two parts of the tabletop overlap one another.
Transformer: bed-table
There is also a transforming table for the bedroom or children's room. In this case, the desktop rises, and the bed falls on a swivel hinge and rests on the legs. The location of the mattress in this case is horizontal, saving space is significant. In addition, the room does not lose functionality day or night.
Several cabinets on top - for storing books or things Side cabinets - for storing various small things
This is a good way to free up space for games in the nursery, organize an extra bed to accommodate guests. Ideal for students, suitable for students.
There are also more solid appearance options that can be placed, for example in the living room or dining room. Again, to accommodate a large number of guests.
This transformer furniture can already be called a table-bed-wardrobe. Since more complex modifications contain more sections with shelves on the side. With a high ceiling height, shelves with doors can be made from above, above the level of the bed - for storing rarely used items. This option is useful if you do not have, in which off-season items are stored.
For kitchen
There are tables-transformers for the kitchen. Some use the same principle as the well-known book tables. Some “piece” is added to the main work surface, one way or another fixed on the main table top.
This transformer furniture is good for one-room small apartments. old building where every centimeter counts. When there are few people, it can be folded. If necessary, the area is increased.
Part of the retractable tabletops can be supported on legs, part hangs in the air, leaning on guides
There are also tables with sliding tops. In this case, you also need to pay attention to the fixation system. It has a considerable load, so there must be a margin of safety. It gives good metal and reliable system rollers, on which the tabletop extends.
Even for the kitchen, the type of metal from which the guides are made is important. At a minimum, it should be galvanized metal, but stainless steel is better. As a last resort, for budget models, suitable coloring powder paints. It cannot be said that it is much cheaper than the same galvanization, but it gives more color options.
Convertible sofas
Another type of transforming furniture is sofas. Everyone knows the old model - a sofa bed. But we are talking not about her. This is not a very good, although widespread option. There are more interesting ones.
Sofa bed
This type of transformer furniture is a fundamental difference from the old model: a full-fledged bed is transformed into an equally full-fledged and comfortable sofa. The bed in this version is mounted vertically, mostly one and a half and double mattresses.
The principle of operation is the same as that of the wardrobe-bed. The sofa is installed permanently, the bed is fixed raised and can be upholstered soft cloth in the tone of the sofa upholstery, the role of the backrest is performed by pillows. Before laying them out, they are removed, the bed is lowered, which lies on the sofa and rests on retractable legs. The role of the legs can be played by a shelf (as in the photo above).
There is another type of such furniture: a wardrobe-sofa-bed. It differs from the one described above only in that more sections with shelves or cabinets are attached nearby. With sufficient ceiling height, shelves / cabinets can be above the bed.
Sofa bunk bed
For children's rooms, a good option is a sofa that transforms into two beds, located one above the other. This model involves a complex mechanism, so the cost of such transforming sofas is rather big.
But the model is very comfortable. Both the sofa and the beds are comfortable. Compared to the traditional one, it does not “load” space so much, but saves it no less.
sofa table
Sofa with table. This option is rather exotic. Its functionality is not so high. But as a variant of non-standard furniture, it is good. The sofa table has a movable back made of wood (or its substitutes) or plastic. While the transformer furniture is used as upholstered furniture, there are no external differences. If necessary, the back is thrown forward, where it rests on the floor.
Sofa table. Can be installed on the veranda - as a place for relaxation or possible gatherings
As a rule, such a convertible sofa has one more way of use: it unfolds into a bed. An additional padded stool extends from under the seat. That is, it is a 3 in 1 option.
Another option for a convertible sofa is a modular design. It's not exactly what was described before. All upholstered furniture is divided into segments that can be joined together in different ways.
As a rule, the sofa itself is sliding or folding. It is installed permanently, while smaller mobile units can move. Often they have rollers.
Unusual transformers
There are several transformers that are difficult to attribute to furniture. For example, a shelf that turns into small table. Perfect option for a walk-through room, if there is nowhere to put a stationary table, but there is only a piece of wall in a walk-through place.
Shelves that turn into a table - at least original
Not less than original solution- a picture or a mirror that turns into a table. In this case, the tabletop is attached to the wall with hinges. A mirror or picture is attached to its back surface (which, when raised, becomes the front one).
The mirror on the wall becomes... a table
The legs are made in the form of a frame salary. When the table is needed, it is thrown back. When not needed, they are fixed on the wall again. This is also one of the very good options if the table can only be installed in the passage area. Ideal Solution for some small apartments.
