A bed that can be converted into a wall cabinet if necessary

The model of the bed-cabinet is divided into three main parts, which will first need to be created separately and then merged into one. The following are the elements and materials needed for manufacturing.

1. The body can have any shape and appearance, the main thing is a large niche in which the bed will be laid. Niche should be made based on the parameters of the mattress. As material, you can use laminated sheets of chipboard, they are quite unpretentious in processing, have an affordable price. In order to avoid chipping during sawing, it is better to order a chipboard cut according to the required parameters from the manufacturer. This service is cheap, besides, all the edges of the parts you pasted edging tape.

2. The base of the bed - for making you need a wooden beam - from it you will make a frame and lamellae or a sheet of plywood, on which the mattress will go. Chipboard or MDF sheets are fixed from the bottom of the base - when folded, they will serve as the front of the cabinet, so this detail should be approached from a design point of view.

Manufacturing process

Connection of two parts for a double bed - a frame and a sleeping part

Installation of a transformer-type bed consists of two points - the first step is to make a frame for a folding mechanism, and then a sleeping place. On the Internet you can find ready-made dimensions for standard single and double models, but if you need other parameters, you will have to calculate them yourself. In this great assistant will be the program “Furniture Designer”.

We attach the frame using the corners on the anchors, if you have walls made of concrete or brick, or screws in the case of a wooden house

Make a rigid fixation with anchor bolts of a sturdy metal rail on the wall. This will be needed in order to strengthen the frame with metal corners. For the base of the frame, take two reliable boards - they perform the carrier function, the average length for standard forms of transformer beds is about two meters. Along the edges, top and bottom, with glue and screws, secure them with a transverse board. Attach the trim to the finished frame with glue joints and self-tapping screws. Remember - it is necessary that the depth of the box matches the thickness of the bed. In the end, not to get a box that does not contain the finished product, it is better to make it a few inches more.

Installation of the cabinet frame beds using the mechanism of lifting the bed

Then you can start to mount the folding bed. Take as a basis the plywood that meets the required parameters. In order to avoid damage and sagging of the material, reinforce it from below by installing four boards along and across the future product. For greater comfort, you can equip the base of the bed with a variety of sides, but remember - nothing should hamper the lifting mechanisms.

The next stage - mounting the frame to the wall. For a long service life of the finished product, choose only high quality fasteners. Fix the hinged part to the frame with hinges, and fasten its free end using special fasteners - it is thanks to them that the bed will keep the transformer folded and will not suddenly decompose. If you will cover the wooden surface with varnish, it is better to do it as long as the folding part is not fixed with the frame.

The last step - the decor of the finished product

The bedroom can be decorated using a combination of several colors and drawing patterns. If you can not draw, on the Internet you can find a lot of stencils - print the desired one and use it to create a unique design.
