Not everyone has luxurious large apartments. Often you have to calculate every centimeter of space and think through its practical use. Designers have long created a development that allows you to add functionality to the bedroom - double and single beds with lifting devices.

Types of devices
When purchasing a bed, it is important to make sure that the design is easy and reliable in operation. In the furniture market today you can find three main types of mechanisms:
- gas shock absorbers;
- twisted springs;
- manual lifting.
All bed lift mechanisms are sufficiently reliable and durable. They are attached to the base of the mattress or side parts. This is a smart and completely new solution forbedrooms, relevant for small rooms. It is advisable to make a purchase from reputable companies that give a guarantee on products.
Springs or manual lift?
The most common is the manual version. It is easy to handle and design, durable, reliable and low cost. Manual bed lift mechanisms have one drawback: they require physical effort to use. If used infrequently, this will not create problems, but it will be very inconvenient with daily use.
The coil spring bed lifts are also easy and reliable to use. They have reasonable rates. The difference with manual is in less effort expended. But there were some drawbacks: here periodic replacement of the springs themselves is required, as they are subject to wear and tear during operation.
Gas lift mechanism
Gas lift is a common and convenient option, which is the most relevant today. Equipped with a gas lift, the bed opens almost on its own.
The silent and smooth operation of the mechanism is simply amazing. The elevator is practical and reliable, often manufacturers give it a 5-year warranty.
Gas bed lift mechanisms are able to lift mattresses of any weight, which is very convenient, since the springless new orthopedic mattresses are quite heavy. The bed, depending on its weight, has a shock absorber with suitable power.
