Soft beds with lifting mechanism

Many people have to adapt to the realities of small apartments and convert conventional furniture into a storage space. Manufacturers have considered this feature and created a line of furniture, equipped with numerous niches and shelves . So, the pedestal for footwear is specially made hollow inside, and the built in kitchen is supplied with modern mechanisms of storage and drawers. This feature also has some beds. Some models have drawers, while others have niches located under the slats. But this article will consider the latest developments - sleeping beds with a lifting mechanism. So, what features do these models have and what design do these beds have? About this below.

Bed base lifting device

First you need to understand the term "lifting mechanism". How does it operate? In fact, everything is simple - the mechanism consists of a metal carcass and attached to it lamellas, which serve as the basis for the mattress. If you strongly push the mattress or pull the special handles, the mechanism works, and the upper part of the bed with the mattress rises, revealing the gaze of roomy laundry boxes. Depending on how the device is activated, several mechanisms can be distinguished:

The most reliable, simple and inexpensive lifting mechanism is manual. However, one must take into account that in order to bring it into effect, it will be necessary to make considerable efforts. Therefore, if you are going to use bed niches every day, this option is unlikely to suit you. For occasional use it will be ideal.

The mechanism on the coil springs is also inexpensive, but it takes effort to open the bed here, you need to apply a lot less. The only negative - the springs wear out with time and start to squeak, so they will have to be changed periodically.

The most modern and convenient type of lifting mechanism is a gas lift. Its design is quite simple: a piston, a cylinder and a gas between them. When you close the bed, the piston descends and experiences the resistance of the compressed gas, so everything goes quietly and smoothly. It is noteworthy that manufacturers give a guarantee only for piston lifting mechanisms.

Range of furniture

Many beds, equipped with a built-in niche, have soft upholstery made of eco-leather or dense fabric. Thanks to this soft beds with a lifting mechanism look stylish and modern. At the moment, manufacturers offer several types of these beds, namely:

  1. Wide double beds. They look majestic and aristocratic. The main feature of such furniture is the larger headboard, which can be trimmed with large decorative buttons or stitches. In some models even large pillows are attached to the headboard, which make it even softer and more comfortable.
  2. Single bed with lift mechanism. A miniature model that is ideal for a small bedroom or a children's room. Inside there are 2-3 storage compartments, so things can be sorted according to your taste.
  3. Corner bed with a lifting mechanism. This model looks more like a sofa than a bed. On both sides it is fenced with a small decorative back, so the bed looks spectacular in the corner of the bedroom. It can be either single or double. The lifting mechanism is usually manual.
