The table-bed transformer is most relevant for children's rooms or combining a children's area with one of the common rooms. This piece of furniture necessarily includes a work surface and a sleeping place, which, if necessary, are “activated” as follows:
- raising the table and turning the bed from the vertical to the horizontal position;
- simultaneous reversal of the bed and tabletop, in which there is no need to remove objects from the work surface;
- horizontal exit of the bed from the niche under the table;
- change of position and purpose of modular components.
For newborns, a transformer bed has been developed, including a base on which a cot and a chest of drawers with a changing table are placed. Over time, the basis of the model is transformed into a full-fledged sleeping place, and the bed turns into a separate table.
If the apartment does not have a separate children's room, the ideal option would be models that are going to the sofa, and when transformed into a bed with a table or a bunk bed.
A table bed a transformer for the schoolchild in a house with limited space may additionally include a spacious wardrobe, chest of drawers, shelves and bedside tables, which will create a single composition.

- Tree (oak, alder, pine, beech). Expensive, high-quality and natural material. A wooden bed turns out to be quite heavy, therefore it is very rarely used in children's rooms.
- MDF or chipboard. Affordable and lightweight material with virtually all the functions of the tree.
- Metal bed. Quite durable, but does not have an attractive appearance, so it can be modified with other materials.
In order for the bed-table-transformer for teens to fully fulfill their functions, use special mechanisms:
- spring (have a range of up to 20 thousand cycles);
- gas lift (90 thousand cycles, increased strength, easy to use);

- reliable connection of static elements with metal corners;
- the steel frame must be all-welded, with no visible flaws;

- corrosion, with minimal use of plastic components.
Considering that this furniture is intended for a child, the change of the positions of the table-bed should occur without effort, with reliable fixation at the end point. It is better for the children's room to give preference to the model of MDF, in addition, this bed-table has a huge selection of facade finishes and colors. The wardrobe and bedside cabinets should be equipped with closers.
The children's bed-table transformer will constantly be exposed to dirt, so the wooden parts must be treated with resistant varnish, and furniture made of MDF and chipboard is covered with laminate, and not veneer.
Installation of any transformable model requires fixation to the supporting wall. For this reason, before purchasing, it is necessary to accurately measure the free space of the child’s room or the space allocated for this piece of furniture in the living room, the maximum possible size of the finished structure, including the cupboard, pencil case, extra shelves.

In the children's room, the furniture should be bright, non-standard, stimulate the development of imagination and the sharpness of perception of the surrounding world. If we are talking about making a model to order, you should “play” with shades: paint the table in soft, inconspicuous colors, choose a brighter upholstery for the bed-sofa. Photos and drawings on the closet look very impressive, and small rooms can be visually enlarged using a mirrored facade.
The furniture used in the common room should be consistent with the general concept and serve as a seating area, so it is better to choose a sofa bed model in which the bed sleeps in the closet and the table is set in a pivoting motion.
To increase the functionality, the crib with a table is equipped with sockets and lighting, eliminating the need to install these elements.
