Until relatively recently, the inhabitants of small apartments could only dream of a spacious and comfortable double bed in the house. The modern furniture industry, taking into account the needs of potential buyers, has made the dream of millions of people come true by developing universal furniture for small apartments. Double transformer bed is the trend of our time!

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. A double folding bed will provide a comfortable healthy sleep, and, accordingly, a good mood while awake.

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 of chipboard boards, special adhesive mixtures are used. 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

The lifting mechanism is an important component of transforming furniture, the quality and type of which determine the performance of the 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 a 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, nitrogen gas acts as a working medium. 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 - unlike gas models, in which a gas shock absorber and a steel rotary plate are visible in the unfolded position of the bed, the nodes 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 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, subject to the correct selection of the 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 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 the load-bearing capacity of the sleeping bed. The sofa has a spacious storage compartment for bedding.

Double bed transformer with table

In transformers with a table, the bed, through simple manipulations, turns into a tabletop. 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 a secret bed. The bed is hidden on the other side of the closet. The cabinet is equipped with a swivel mechanism, when the storage module is turned, a folding bed hidden in its bowels appears. The mechanism is controlled remotely.

How to choose a double bed transformer - sleeping arrangement

The main structural elements of the bed are:

• frame - can be made of different types of 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 the model range of 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 the supporting structures. Before choosing this size, evaluate the allowable load on the wall.

The height of the mattress depends on the depth of the box. The standard mattress thickness for double folding beds is 15 to 25 cm. To fix the mattress and bedding on the bed in an upright position, there are special straps 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!

Double with built-in shelves for things. Now my son can stay with me. This is the best solution for a small living space.

Review #2: Kovrova Zinaida

I saw a photo of such a closet at school with one mother. I told my daughter. It turned out that such rational furniture cannot be found in our stores. And we began to ask where anyone saw this. And so the teacher said that you can buy this on the Internet. My daughter was delighted and ordered. But my grandson is even happier now. He immediately had his own closet, and a desk, and a bed, and
a corner in a one-room apartment where you can play without disturbing anyone! How we love this wardrobe-bed! I advise everyone: take a closer look! Take a closer look and be sure to purchase!

Review #3: Lisa Lunarko

I recently came across an amazing bunk bed that folds into a closet. I was very surprised, I was eager to buy, because I live with my younger brother. It is very compact and handy on its own. We have a small room, so when assembled and laid down, it fits perfectly. The mount does not fasten, does not stagger, a very strong frame. Excellent thing.

Review #4: Evgenia Kudinova

This convertible bed was recommended to me by a friend. For a long time I complained to him that I could not find furniture that was suitable in style. And he was right, it was she who won my love. My bedroom is not too small, but with the presence of a bed in it, there are too few free corners. And since I want more free space, I was looking for a bed that would at least visually look miniature. But, to my happiness, my friend was also engaged in the selection of furniture for me. And found. Thank you very much, I am very happy with my new bed.

Review #5: Alexey Belorukov

He moved from his parents to a rented apartment. Since there was no point in renting a large apartment alone, I found a one-room flat. But then I realized how difficult it is to intelligently equip an apartment, so that at the same time there is free space. So I opted for this bed model. I did not purchase a wardrobe, as the built-in shelves in the bed design are quite spacious. I recommend it to everyone!

Review #6: Andrey Volkov

I rent an apartment, and since several people very often want to move into a one-room apartment, I decided to replace the old bed with two small ones. And it was the right decision. The residents are grateful and I am very happy with my decision. Since my friends moved into the apartment, they were just looking for an apartment for two. Now I am looking for a wardrobe-bed in my room, I managed to appreciate all the practicality, according to the reviews of friends.

Review #7: Petrova Marina Ivanovna

Thank you so much to everyone who helped us with the purchase of such wonderful furniture! And we chose the color that we needed for home furniture, and the rigidity was done with the lamellas as requested. Golden people! Good furniture! Our height allowed, so we also attached a mezzanine from above. Not furniture, but one pleasure! Thanks again everyone!

Varieties of mechanisms

Transforming furniture is equipped with tilt-and-turn mechanisms, each of which has its own disadvantages and advantages:

• Retractable mechanism. Differs in ease in management and safety. Models with such a device usually have a place to place bed linen.
• Folding mechanism. It is dangerous because during the transformation it can fall or pinch an arm or leg. Beds attached to the wall are very space-saving when assembled and allow you to place built-in shelves above them.

In addition, folding mechanisms can be gas-lift or spring-loaded. Springs are considered more durable and reliable due to their simplicity. There is practically nothing to break in the spring. But it takes some effort to transform such devices, so it is not recommended for older people to purchase models with a spring device.

Gas lift devices are not so reliable, but with proper operation they will last a long time. Furniture with this mechanism is laid out effortlessly. The only drawback of the gas lift is that furniture with it is an order of magnitude 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 that should be noted:

• frame material. Transformers are made with a frame made of MDF, chipboard, wood or metal. Recently, metal structures, distinguished by reliability and durability, have gained particular popularity. Wood is an environmentally friendly material that is not inferior in strength to metal. But chipboard and MDF are unreliable, it is better to abandon this option.

• Mattress quality. 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 must match the size of the bed. Particular attention should be paid to children's mattresses, the posture of the child will depend on the correct position in a dream. The best mattress fillers are coconut fiber or latex foam.

• Furniture size. The length of the bed 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 in the dimensions of the bed, it fits.

• Safety and structural strength. These parameters are especially important for a bed in a children's room.

Results

A transforming bed for a small apartment is a great opportunity to rationally use space. A wide range of models allows you to choose furniture that is suitable in size and design. When buying, you should pay attention to the quality of the folding mechanism and the compliance of the bed with physiological parameters.
