These models of furniture are used mainly when it is necessary not only to create the appearance of space in the apartment, but also to really liberate this space itself.
The original solution for a small room
In the daytime, it is held against the wall and notprevents the movement of the room, and with the arrival of the night the folding mechanism easily turns it into a full bed for sleep. In the folded state, such a bed can easily go down for a real closet. In its exterior design, it has everything that belongs to real cabinet furniture. There can be at such locker mezzanines and shelves. You can even decorate it with a picture. But you, most likely will never guess that in front of you there is not a wardrobe or a wall, but a double bed-transformer.

- The very first positive moment is saving precious space in the apartment.
- On several square meters of the room can be an office and a bedroom at the same time.
- The wall and the double bed-transformer do not present difficulties during operation and when the sleeping place is laid out.
- In the assembled form the bed is indistinguishable from the surrounding interior, as the bottom of it successfully imitates the facade of the cabinet.
- Modern systems of swing type are pleasing with their durability, reliability of folding mechanisms, and also are not complicated in their design.

By the same principle, furniture manufacturerscame up with another no less comfortable version of the bed. In this case, instead of a sofa, a light desk appears when the module is folded. A photo of a double bed-transformer is attached.
Couples who have a bedroom to fulfillmany additional functions, in addition to rest, are likely to appreciate this wise decision. By the way, instead of a desk, you may be more suitable to use a dressing table.
What are the disadvantages?
And here are the drawbacks of the double bed-transformer:
- If, due to a violation of the rules of operation or because of a marriage in production, the mechanism will become unusable, then the entire furniture set will not be usable.
- Weight restrictions when using the bed. Yes, now such designs began to be made of stronger and more reliable materials, but still the restrictions remain.
- The sleeping module is installed only on the carrierwall with an ideal surface. Gypsum plasterboard walls and walls are not suitable. They simply can not stand this rather heavy construction.
- The legs of the bed.They can stick out at the top of the furniture when folded. Some do not like it. Although now the developers have come up with and disguised the supporting structure of the bed in a regular shelf. When folded, this shelf is at the top of the cabinet. And in the unfolded form, having made a simple manipulation with it, you have reliable legs at your bed.
- When buying this type of bed,that you will be offered a specialist who will install the module according to all the rules. If you decide to do the installation of a double bed-transformer yourself, be prepared for the fact that the manufacturer refuses to give you guarantees. In addition, the manufacturer has the right to reduce the warranty period for operation.
Types of hoists
Mechanisms that help you daily inthe transformation of the bed, should be reliable and convenient to use. When constructing a double bed-transformer, use a spring mechanism and a gas lift mechanism:
- Пружинные модели оснащены тугими витыми пружинами.When unfolding the bed, the springs straighten out under the influence of a strong steel brace. Such a design you can safely use about 20 000 times. Then you will need to take care of replacing the entire structure.
- The gas lift mechanism is assembled from rotarysteel plates and a metal piston. The structure is filled with nitrogen gas. When unfolding the bed, the plates of chromed metal rotate about their axis, and the gas damper distributes the load evenly. This mechanism can be easily combined without additional efforts.
Positive sides when using a spring mechanism
This mechanism looks nicer than gas lift.Its springs are almost invisible, as they are disguised in the bed shell. You can adjust the power by pulling the springs. And gas shock absorbers do not have this capability. The price of a double bed-transformer installed on such a mechanism is significantly lower than that of a bed with a gas-lift device.
Advantages of the lifting mechanism: gas lift
Smoothness in work when using the mechanism.It is necessary to choose the power of the device suitable for the weight and dimensions of the furniture structure. Convenient operation and possible period of uninterrupted service for about 50 years is a big plus of gas lift.
The wardrobe in which the double bed-transformer is built is a complex and diverse system:
- The steel frame of the product in the supporting base of the entire modular element. This skeleton is most often created from tubes, the diameter of which varies from 2 to 5 centimeters.
- For quiet and easy use of mechanisms in the construction of the bed there is a system of noiselessly working elements.
- The lamellae in the mattress support system can have 12 elements or 24 elements. The lamellar system can be created from wood materials or from aluminum.
- Usually a double bed-transformer is equippedspecial straps that hold the mattress and bedding in their places. Thanks to such improvements, your bed will appear before you in a prepared form, which will significantly save your strength and time.
- The choice of style and color in which you would like tosee your sleeping module, easily allows you to purchase the desired model. The assortment of the market of beds-transformers is already wide enough. He offers furniture suitable for any style of the room and its color scheme.
- Каркас мебельного модуля изготавливается из materials of different types. Traditional and not very strong chipboard is increasingly giving up its position of an improved and expensive plate-MDF. Metal bed frames and skeletons of natural wood are more preferable. However, these are more expensive materials.
