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 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.

When making chipboard boards special adhesive mixtures... 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 lifting mechanism located on the long side of the stock. Thus, when unfolding, the berth is along the wall.

In transformer beds with a vertical orientation, the mechanism presses the bed against the wall, when unfolding it is a double bed that can be folded from the wall
goes down and is perpendicular to the wall.

In double-bed designs lifting beds mainly used vertical unfolding system.

Types of folding mechanisms, their structure and feature

The lifting mechanism is an important component of transforming furniture, the quality and type of which depend on performance characteristics 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 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 as working environment nitrogen gas appears. 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 effort to a minimum.

Advantages of the spring block over the gas "brother":

aesthetic appearance - in contrast to 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;
adjustment 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. In models with gas shock absorbers, this is not possible;
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 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.

A special lifting mechanism allows you to quickly unfold a full bed.

A bed in a closet has several advantages over a sofa bed:

compactness - in terms of area, the drawer-wardrobe, where the bed is removed, takes up noticeably less space(less than one square space) than a sofa, because the main useful area of the bed in the assembled state is located in height along the wall

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 a place for placing bed linen.
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 due to their simplicity. There is practically nothing to break in the spring. But some effort is needed to transform such devices, so it is not recommended for older people to purchase models with a spring device.

Gas-lift devices are not as reliable, but when correct operation 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. Lately gained particular popularity metal constructions, distinguished by their reliability and durability. Wood is an environmentally friendly material that is 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 need to fit 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 fillers mattresses are considered coconut fiber or latex foam.

The size of the furniture. 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, you need to 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.
