Features of operation of beds built into the closet, types of designs

Today, design projects focus on pragmatism and practicality. The bed built into the closet meets these requirements - an option that is relevant for many styles. When planning the interior of an apartment, specialists strive for minimalism with maximum functionality of the room with a clear, understandable, comfortable placement of all furniture.

Feature of models

Built-in beds are often installed in apartments with a small quadrature, in cottages and in country houses. When folding, the model turns into an additional section of the headset. The design of the wardrobe with built-in bed allows you to hide bedding behind the door. Such furniture can be installed everywhere. Use cases:

1. Living room. If you place the bed in the hall, then it will immediately have two destinations - this is a place for night sleep and an area where you can relax during the day.
2. Children’s. A child cannot do without free space. A bed hidden in a niche will provide him with a sports, gaming, working area. When the family has two or three children, then multi-tier models with a horizontal mechanism will be needed.
3. Bedroom. Built-in furniture for the bedroom will allow the owner to get a working area or living room.

To fix the mattress and bed linen, the kit includes belts that hold these things vertically.

The main advantages of beds:

1. If a single bed with a mattress is installed, 2 square meters of additional area appears.
2. In a few seconds, the bedroom will become an office, a relaxation room, a game or sports area.
3. If the model has shelves, this saves not only free space, but also money. A single design costs less than ordering individual furniture items that require a design selection.

In addition to the advantages, furniture of this type also has disadvantages:

1. Some owners are not psychologically prepared to have a 2 in 1 bed and wardrobe. They are afraid of the device’s possible triggering at night, and involuntary disclosure during the day, which will lead to its fall. A bed built into a niche with a horizontal version of the transformation will help to overcome psychological discomfort.
2. Folding and unfolding daily.
3. In accordance with safety rules and technical operating conditions, the structure should only be mounted on load-bearing walls.

The headset wall is well complemented by a model with open and closed sections.

Components of the structure

The size of the bed affects the system of the device. The main structural components:

• frame;
• base of wooden plates;
• mattress with orthopedic effect;
• supports;
• false doors with handles;
• lifting device.

A bed is raised by two types of devices.

1. Vertical - this is when the headrest touches the wall, and when unfolded it is located perpendicular to the wall.
2. Horizontal - on the side, the sleeping bed adjoins the wall, and when unfolded it is located along the length of the wall.

The bottom of the base is tightened by bent-glued lamellas, plywood, chipboard. The cushioning properties of the slats reduce the pressure created by the person lying on the mattress. Lattices help the load evenly spread over the base of the bed. For the manufacture of slats using natural glued wood. The dimensions of the bed affect the number of planks. For a springless mattress, the lamella pitch is 5 cm, for a spring mattress - 3 cm. Less commonly, metal and plastic crossbars are installed on the base.

An independent spring unit is installed in the mattresses. If you translate it into a vertical position, the block will move down. The mattress will lose orthopedic characteristics.

Varieties of models

Each built-in wardrobe bed is different in size and design. It can be 190-200 cm long and 80-120 cm wide.

Types of products:

1. Single - 80 x 200 cm and 90 x 200 cm. In a horizontal device, the side is located along the length of the wall, and the lifting device is on a long edge. In a vertical design, a lifting device is attached to the end of the bed. The hidden place has the form of a pencil case, chest of drawers, bedside tables, wardrobe.
2. Double beds are 180 x 200 or 190 x 220 cm. Large beds with a vertical lifting mechanism make it difficult to arrange drawers, shelves, lighting or mezzanines above it.
3. Sliding wardrobe - has the same dimensions as a single bed. The bottom is the front of the cabinet with decorative ornaments. The hidden place is closed by a movable console or mirrored doors running behind each other.

Lifting Options:

1. Models with mechanical lift. The design is made by steel springs. She rises by hand. This primitive version refers to durable mechanisms. Depending on the user's weight, it can be adjusted, this will increase the operating period.
2. Models with gas lift. The device drives a gas spring shock absorber. With a smooth easy lift and soft finishing, the device will not cause injury to the owner. It is installed on all sizes of beds with different folding.

The mechanism in the transformer is the main component. Therefore, you do not need to save on quality, but rather buy an expensive durable device. Today there is a large selection of electronically controlled designs.

Horizontal beds can have these characteristics:

The table shows the parameters of vertical beds:

A transforming bed can be made in the form of a blank case with a small depth or hidden in a niche.

Withdrawable

When folding, the model turns into an accordion and hides below the niche. Furniture can be installed in the hall. Above it there is a place to arrange shelves, a plasma TV, small lockers for various items, clothes.

Folding and tilting

For the swivel type model, hinges are used. They help to move the surface in the center of the axis when turning 180 degrees. When the transformation occurs, the built-in bed rotates around a vertical axis, then the upper part drops to the floor. Designs consist of single or double surfaces, which occupy 2-3 square meters of area at night. When the mechanism opens, the furniture support rotates 90 degrees.

In the tilt-and-turn model, two devices work simultaneously - tilt and swivel. The whole structure is transformed into a cabinet. It consists of a bed and several shelves, which, when transformed, remain in place. During the lifting of the model, the legs are hidden in special grooves or become a decorative part of the interior.

Combined

The combined model is a multifunctional transformer. The system is also made with a built-in wardrobe, upholstered furniture, a chest of drawers for storing linen. Combined models have a complex, expensive lifting mechanism.

Horizontal and vertical

How the built-in bed is located to a vertical plane depends on the type of model.

1. The vertical model can be of different sizes. With vertical mounting, it is located in the cabinet with the short side. Side space is freed. The model is suitable for apartments with a small area and high ceilings. The appearance resembles a closet.
2. With horizontal fastening, the bed in the niche is located on the long side. You can attach shelves above it and easily pick up a mattress.

In the first case, the design resembles a cabinet. In the second - the appearance of the box may be larger than the berth itself. This point must be considered when choosing a model.

Production material

When choosing a bed, you need to pay attention to the material. Unscrupulous manufacturers use low-quality materials, unsafe impregnation, coating. With a harmless appearance, they have a bad effect on the body. Only wood is the most reliable, durable and environmentally friendly material. After processing, it does not change the structure, it will not have fungus, mold, scratches.

Manufacturers make inexpensive recessed beds in the wardrobe, which are in demand among middle-income buyers. For frames, a material that imitates wood is used - a laminated chipboard (chipboard). For its manufacture, chips are used, which are glued, pressed. First, a wood-particle board (chipboard) is obtained, and after coating with a film that mimics the texture of different types of wood, the chipboard is obtained. It is necessary to take into account the insecurity of the material, since the glue vapor affects the body. Particleboard constructions covered with veneer have the color of wood, but it also has glue.

Hinged cabinet doors for the embedded system can be made of MDF, and the berth can be made of wood. The frame is reinforced with steel corners. Alloy steel, brass and other materials are used for fastening mechanisms.

How to choose the right

When choosing a hinged system, the diversity of innovative models is confusing. You need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Single beds are suitable for kids, teenagers, one and a half, and double beds for couples. The surface is rectangular, round, oval, semicircular.
2. It does not matter who will operate the lifting beds, adults or children, they must be reliable. The construction work and the safety of family members depend on the control mechanism. In order to prevent a spontaneous fall of the transformer, the device must be durable.
3. Wall-mounted furniture designs should support the overall style of the room.
4. In order for the built-in bed-closet, interior, design to fully meet the requirements of the owner, for the manufacture of the model it is better to contact a company with a proven reputation. Specialists will carry out the design project for the installation of the entire system. They will make calculations, draw up drawings, calculate the cost.
5. To maintain ergonomics, you need to choose the right place for the system. If the doors swing open on two sides, then there should be a distance of about 40 cm to the nearest nightstands and chests of drawers.
6. In a small room it is difficult to find a decent place for the system, but it is still there. The beds fit well in a closet in the corner or opposite the window.
7. The cabinet parameters for the transported system must be selected based on the furniture. Its standard width is 45-50 cm, and the length of the system corresponds to the length of the sleeping bed. This is an option for a folding bed. Accordingly, the parameters of the room should correspond to the dimensions of the system. In the unfolded state, the distance to the wall should be 35-40 cm, so that there is a passage.
8. The cost of the system depends on the material, desires and capabilities of the owner. Focusing on the family budget, you can choose the basis of natural wood, particleboard, MDF, chipboard, as well as decorative details that correspond to the general style of the room.

After deciding which system will decorate the room, it will be up to specialists. The manufacturing technology of the built-in design is being considered, a drawing of the system installation plan is necessarily done. Choosing a bed requires a serious approach.

Care Tips

Everyone thinks that the purchased product will last a long period without breakdowns and problems. Such wishes can be attributed to furniture that is built into the wall. To extend the operational period, care is required not only for the berth, but also for the entire structure.

1. For cleaning structural elements use special household chemicals or wet wipes for furniture.
2. In the summer, you need to periodically dry the mattress in the sun.
