Transforming beds are gaining more and more popularity. Such furniture allows you to significantly save the space of a small-sized apartment without compromising the functionality of the room and not using additional pieces of furniture.

Features and Benefits

A transforming bed requires the most careful attitude towards itself, mainly due to a regularly operating lifting mechanism, which can break down due to its poor quality or from the fact that it has been treated carelessly. Therefore, it is important to think over all these points before purchasing such an unusual piece of furniture. The main advantage of such furniture is that it can be used everywhere: in a large bedroom, a classic wardrobe bed can be decorated with a print or a mirrored panel, it will neatly fit into the room, providing maximum free space.

Chest of drawers are especially in demand in small apartments and studios. There is a large selection of models for children's rooms, ranging from baby cots with changing tables and convenient drawers and ending bunk beds for schoolchildren. Small transformers in the form of poufs, chairs and benches are used in offices where it may be necessary to stay to work overnight.

Varieties

Manufacturers offer the following variations of transforming beds:

Vertical design- "adult" double wardrobe-bed-transformer, the headboard of which is fixed against the wall, and the main part is placed at its entire height. The horizontal bed is designed to be used as a single bed, attached to the wall with its side part. The advantage of the horizontal model is that the wall space remains unoccupied and pictures or shelves for books can be placed on it, in addition, when unfolded, it looks less cumbersome and takes up little space.

All transforming beds, based on their design features, can be divided into vertical and horizontal.

Convertible bed with roll-out berth Is one of the most simple models: the spare bed is built into the other. With its help, you can optimize the space, and the ability to organize a second bed will be available at any time.

Lifting convertible folding bed can be disguised as other furniture in the apartment, for example, by mounting it in a closet or wall. A pneumatic-based mechanism lifts it up and puts it in a specially designated place. Most often this is an adult double bed, but there are also similar models designed specifically for children. The mechanism itself is pretty easy to use and baby school age cope with it without difficulty.

Chest of drawers bed popular in studios or one-room apartments, ideal for single people who do not need to purchase an extra bed... With the help of a soft mechanical drive, it is pulled out of a special box, which in the daytime looks just like an ordinary chest of drawers. There is also the simplest folding model of such a bed, when it is simply removed into the box using a simple lifting mechanism.

One of the most interesting and eye-catching models is pouf bed... It is deservedly called the most modern clamshell in the world. When folded, it looks like soft ottoman whose dimensions are very compact. But if you lift the lid, inside is the most common metal structure on legs with comfortable mattress that extends vertically. The model can be easily transformed back: you just need to fold it like a regular folding bed and put it inside the pouf.

Banquet bed differs from the transformer pouf in even smaller dimensions, as well as the ability to organize two or three seats in any conditions in case of their shortage. When these three places are folded together, they can be used as a comfortable folding bed. Another difference from a pouf of a similar design is that in the first case, the folding bed is removed directly into the pouf, and in the case of a banquet bed, its complete transformation takes place.

Chair-bed is a modern modification of a folding chair, which is well known to the Russian consumer. The folding mechanism helps to push the bed on the metal frame forward. There are also very comfortable and pleasant to the touch types of such a chair with a frameless design: the soft mattress simply folds up or down, and the whole composition looks like a small soft chair without legs.

Bed with convertible headboard provides the ability to set the headboard in a position more comfortable for a person. You can raise this part of the bed so that it turns into a comfortable support for the back: in this position it is very good to read books or watch TV, while relaxing at home with variety and maximum comfort.

Bench bed made of wood or metal, but the most the best way – wooden bench which is a simple retractable structure, which can be laid out both forward and on the principle of a sofa-book. The option is well suited for a summer residence. The main thing is that good orthopedic mattress was always at hand: he will help organize an extra bed as best as possible.

For a student, one of optimal options there will be a children's transforming bed, in which two objects change places day and night: in the daytime, the bed rises up, and the table moves down. There is enough space under the table to store small items or toys. The advantage of this design is that order will always be maintained in the child's room and there will be enough free space for games.

Bunk bed-transformer will be a great option for two children in a family. This is a comprehensive design solution that includes not only the sleeping places themselves. It is easy to imagine such a bed with bedside tables and shelves, which, thanks to a carefully thought out composition, harmoniously fit into the overall picture.

The distance between the lower and upper tiers can be small, so if the berths are assembled, they will take up a minimum amount of space. Also, bunk beds for children can be folding. Pendulum crib for small children - optimal way to rock the child without additional psychological costs. It is equipped with a pendulum-like mechanism that sets the crib in motion. The smart crib sways, rotates, and the baby falls asleep much faster.

Materials (edit)

First of all, when choosing, you should always pay attention to the quality of the materials from which the transforming bed is made. If the load is calculated incorrectly, then, together with "budget" types of materials, any model of this type can very quickly fail. In this case, you should not give preference to the usual Chipboard... It is better to opt for more durable models made of MDF, and if possible, then purchase a product made of natural wood. Two-thirds of the full load of such beds falls on its legs, so their optimal shape is the letter "G" or in the form of a wide board that is capable of carrying a support.

Many people want to immediately purchase a transforming bed with a mattress in the complete set. Since the structures themselves are distinguished by a certain specificity and a great variety, it is not possible to equip each of them with a mattress: the bed moves daily, changing its location, and the mattress can simply fall, even if it is fixed with something.

It is not recommended to take the currently fashionable "ecological mattresses" for transformers: they are filled with coconut shavings, which, due to their weight, will create unnecessary additional stress on the bed mechanism. If manufacturing companies complete their beds with mattresses, then, as a rule, only from latex: they are orthopedic, do not deform (which is very important, provided the bed is constantly moving) and, most importantly, lightweight, which does not burden the mechanism.

Transforming bed frames are made from solid wood, often in combination with a strong metal alloy. There are also lighter beds on a metal frame, which facilitates their transformation both manually and using any lifting mechanism. Of course, the frame of the combined structure is both stronger and more aesthetically pleasing, but it requires more advanced bed raising and lowering mechanics that can support the weight of both wood and metal.

Portable models in the form of ottomans, benches or armchairs have flexible but durable metal frames.

Popular colors and examples in the interior

Wardrobe-bed-transforming white, beige colour or Ivory, despite its large size, it will look very gentle and create a feeling of airiness and lightness of the space for relaxation, despite the massiveness of such a structure. Such color solutions especially good when it comes to a separate bedroom.

One and a half double bed-transformer in wenge and dark blue will look good in the interior of a studio apartment or living room combined with a bedroom. When folded, it will not differ from another piece of furniture (wardrobe or chest of drawers), and thick and saturated colors of this range will give the space an indescribable feeling of home comfort. Wenge of various shades is also preferable if it is planned to install a transformer of any design in a country house or in the country.

In lime or honey color, you can arrange a two-story transforming bed for school-age children or a bed for a teenage girl.

Of course, a built-in transforming bed should not always be perceived as the only choice in conditions where the living space is small. In the living room, this solution can be a great extra bed.

For example, there is a variety that camouflages well, being combined with a sofa. It is about vertical folding structure, made in the same color and style with the central part of the sofa, which can be placed in a special niche next to the wardrobe. When folded, the ensemble looks natural and cozy.

If there is a desire and opportunity, then sleeping place-transformer it can be arranged so that when folded it will completely merge with the surrounding environment and will be completely invisible. Designers use wallpaper, prints different colors and qualities that merge with the main piece of furniture present in the living room.

Transformer 3 in 1 (wardrobe-sofa-bed)- comfortable and functional classic version... When folded, it looks like a wardrobe with a sofa in the middle, and when unfolded it is a large double bed, the legs of which, when folded, turn into a hinged shelf. For a small living room, there is nothing better than a horizontal sofa bed built into a plasterboard niche. This extra bed can also be perfectly camouflaged by using the top of the niche as a shelf for souvenirs.

One of the most popular options for a bedroom is a convertible wardrobe. It is perfect for those who wish to sleep on an extra large bed and still save space in the room. Clothes and bedding are placed in the closet, and due to the fact that the bed folds upstairs in the daytime, the bedroom will always look neat and harmonious.
