Today, many people face the problem of optimizing space in small rooms. There are a lot of design tricks that save space, while preserving the functionality of the room: mirrors, shelving, combining colors and textures. Useful in this case will be a folding bed, which is a habitual sleeping place, which is assembled in a special cabinet in an upright position.
How is the folding bed arranged?
Folding lifting beds consist of three parts: a berth, a swivel mechanism and a single box. In the unfolded form, you get all the same bed with the back. For lifting, there are knobs for which you need to pull with a little effort. Special straps firmly hold the pillows, blanket and the mattress itself.
On average, the weight of such a single bed reaches 30 kg. The structure is operated by a special lifting mechanism: a spring, a gas lift, spring blocks, ball bearings. The depth of the cabinet is on the average 50-60 cm, orthopedic mattresses are welcomed. Due to high reliability requirements, such furniture often has massive outlines. Modern design solutions allow you to maximally "fit" the purchase in the existing interior, the variety of facades is amazing.

Particular attention should be paid to installing the installation: the box can be fixed to the floor or wall due to metal corners and special brackets. For the wall to withstand, it must be brick or reinforced concrete not less than 25 cm. The partition or cellular concrete can have only additional fasteners, but not the main one. Reasonable installation requires a two-tier folding bed. This transformer is suitable for children.

The cabinet with a folding bed can be single, one-and-a-half or double. If we start from the type of placement of the folding element, then these models are vertical (the bed itself is located across the wall) and horizontal (the bed goes along the wall). A longitudinal model that folds upward is more suitable for adults, as it requires more physical effort for transformation. The transverse type resembles a shelf in the car of the train. Most often these are single beds, in the daytime they are disguised as bookshelves, for example. If desired, lockers can be installed along the sides.
The cabinet with a folding bed is made using steel with sputtering, light plastic, laminated boards, solid wood of various breeds (oak, pine, aspen) - this greatly fluctuates the cost of the product. The assortment of domestic manufacturers is not so wide in comparison with foreign competitors.

Advantages and shortcomings of "lift" furniture
The folding structure is very mobile and beneficial for small rooms. Many do not like the fact that every day a bed needs to be raised and lowered. Lovers constantly do a rearrangement of this option is not suitable because of the rigid fasteners. You get more free space, but if you need to receive guests or just lie on the couch is not very convenient. Foreign factories have long come up with alternative options, when the bed hides and unfolds a small sofa . At us such models meanwhile are absent. The folding baby bed is especially relevant, as it "provides" the child with a decent playground. You get an additional bonus in the form of shelves for storing things that can be seen only when the sleeping place is laid out. The upholstery is not collected dust. A stylish facade will refresh the room. Reliability, ergonomics and reasonable cost makes such furniture very popular.
