Today, for almost every second city dweller, the issue of saving living space in an apartment is relevant. Unfortunately, changing the size of the apartment is simply unrealistic, but it is possible to choose multifunctional furniture. If we talk about a bedroom or a one-room apartment, then the surest choice is a double bed with a lifting mechanism. It will look great in any interior and will also serve as an additional place to store things, bedding and shoes.
Types and sizes
These beds can be either single or double. Sleeping furniture designed for one person can be raised both vertically and horizontally. A double bed with a lifting mechanism most often rises vertically. Some manufacturers produce beds built into cabinet furniture, such as a wardrobe bed. Lift beds are available in standard sizes: approx. 2 m long andapproximately 1.8 m. But it is possible to manufacture models of non-standard sizes to order. But in this case, you should remember about mattresses: they should also be larger, and this may be more expensive.
Distinguishing Features
A double bed with a lifting mechanism resembles a box with a mattress, which, as needed, rises with the help of specially designed mechanisms. The main advantage of such furniture is the economy of space. Such models, unlike furniture with drawers, take up very little space; you need to use a handle that will lift the surface without much effort. The lifting mechanism for the double bed is based on gas shock absorbers, which provide silent lifting of a heavy mattress. Such furniture has a durable frame made of high quality material, which helps to hold high loads. Most often, solid wood or chipboard is used in production. In terms of volume, a double bed with a lifting mechanism is superior to bedside tables and chests of drawers, and therefore, in order to save space, they can be abandoned. Its box is voluminous and roomy, in some models it is one-piece or has several compartments. Raised beds are inexpensive. There are also more expensive models on the market that are equipped with an electric drive mechanism and operate on a control panel.
Design
When choosing a bed, you should pay attention to itsdesign - it can be the most diverse. Furniture must be chosen depending on the style of the bedroom interior. It can be classic or rounded, with a soft or hard headboard, leather models or with velor upholstery. For a one-room apartment, an ottoman bed is perfect. It has maximum functionality: during the day it is used as a sofa, at night - as a sleeping place. The color can also be matched to the textiles of the room: plain or with a pattern - this is your personal opinion. When buying a bed in the salon, you can pick up suitable ottomans and bedside tables.
