- spring
- retractable
- folding
- gas lift
Beds with spring mechanism
Transforming furniture, has a multi-purpose, it is easy to remove when it is not needed.One of these solutions was a bed transformer combined with a wardrobe, at night it is used as a bed for sleeping, and in the morning it is safely retracted into the wardrobe or with a flick of the wrist turns into a desk. What is called: Needle on fiction much.
In all this barrel of honey there is a rather big fly in the ointment. Many of these devices are useless, for a significant part of people, because the basis for them is the spring mechanism, if their owner does not have sufficient physical strength. For old sick and weak people this pleasure is too tough. That is, if you are a young father of the family, you can easily purchase such furniture and even find some pleasure in laying out each evening, and folding such a transformer in your apartment in the morning, turning your child’s bed into a table. For weak women, old people and the sick, the daily transformation of the bed is beyond the power.
Retractable beds
However, today it is not difficult to find a suitable model of a transformer bed on the market, based on the criterion of the degree of complexity of their deployment. Perhaps the easiest to use are transformer beds at their core; there is a retractable mechanism. The ease of use of the unit does not mean that its mechanism is just as simple, therefore, there is a high probability that it will not last long.
Manufacturers often recommend less often to make the transformation of the bed. Quite a strange advice, because it is for this that a bed is bought that can be turned into a wardrobe every day, or at worst into a table. Of course, you can choose a bed, if you are satisfied with its spring mechanism of transformation, because there, practically, there is nothing to break. If the house has a strong, strong man, then the bed transformer and its spring mechanism is your option.
Beds with a folding mechanism
A good solution could be a bed transformer for small apartments, if complete with it is a folding mechanism. Usually they are attached to the wall.
Such furniture has two significant drawbacks. First, to fix such a bed is possible only to the main wall of the room. Fragile interior partitions may eventually collapse. Secondly, when transforming a bed, you can easily injure your arm or leg.
Beds with gas lift mechanism
The safest and easiest to use are the gas-lift mechanism for the deployment of a transformer bed. Even an old sick person who does not possess great physical strength will be able to transform such a bed into a table or wardrobe, since the entire load during its transformation falls on the gas-lift mechanism. Here, it would seem, bought a transformer bed, and with it a convenient gas-lift folding mechanism, live and rejoice, but even here there is a little problem and even two.
Of all the beds of transformers, these are the most expensive. In addition, the mechanism of gas-lift transformers is short-lived and quickly breaks, so before buying such a model, you need to consult with a specialist and use it to choose furniture. When choosing a bed transformer important is what material it is made of.
Transformer Bed Frame Types
Unfortunately, today the most common material in the production of furniture are chipboard. Of course, if you look at the producers' commercials, then the material is stronger than the particle board, simply not in nature, which does not cause much confidence. If you want your transformer to serve you for many years, you should choose a bed with a metal or wooden frame.
