Advantages and disadvantages

These days, the range of furniture designs is truly amazing. Modern transformer modification products are incredibly popular and in demand. These designs are presented in a wide selection - you can choose the ideal option for any layout and square footage. The love of many buyers has been won by such a model as a wardrobe-sofa-bed.

Let's look at the positives first.

• With such a furniture design it will be possible to significantly save free space in the room. This quality is especially relevant and significant if you are arranging a small, cramped room where every centimeter is important. Owners of modern city apartments often face similar problems.
• A significant plus of the wardrobe-sofa-bed is its ease of use. Modern models are equipped with high-quality, meticulously thought out mechanisms that can last for many years without causing problems to the owners. The products in question are transformed simply – you don’t have to spend a lot of time and effort.
• Wardrobes-sofa-beds produced today are usually equipped with systems and mechanisms that are designed to withstand impressive loads. A high-quality model will be in no way inferior to a classic full-size bed, for which there is a place in not every home.
• During daylight hours, a bed in a similar design can be removed, and the furniture will take on a completely different look. Its functionality will also change. At the same time, household members will not face the loss of useful space in the room.
• Modern multifunctional designs are often complemented by useful components - spacious compartments in which you can store any bedding, pillows, blankets. Such furniture ultimately turns out to be no less practical and comfortable than a large and spacious closet.
• The outer panel of the furniture structures under consideration can be made in any way. Thanks to this detail, the furniture is designed in different styles. In stores you can find very fashionable, stylish and attractive items with mirrors, patterns and details made from natural materials. With correctly selected elements, the interior of the room will sparkle with new colors, becoming more harmonious and complete.
• Cleaning with a wardrobe bed is greatly simplified and takes less time. There is no need to try to remove all the dirt from under the sleeping area. If there is this furniture in the room, you just need to lift the bed for sleeping and place it in a vertical position.
• It is impossible not to note the richest range of such furniture designs. In specialized stores there are models of various modifications and colors. The cost of products also varies, although more expensive items are often found on sale.
• Despite the fact that these products have a heavy bed, it reclines without problems when necessary. In this case, the mechanism does not suffer in any way.

The transformable products under consideration have plenty of advantages, but they are not without their disadvantages.

• As mentioned above, the main percentage of such products are expensive. The lion's share of transforming cabinets cost their owners a tidy sum, especially if they are made from high-quality natural materials. Of course, you can make this furniture to order, but then the cost of the design may be completely unpleasant for the buyer.
• It is allowed to place a wardrobe bed only near a load-bearing wall in the room. The base of the latter must be such that it can easily support the weight of the bed. Because of this, it is not possible to install such furniture in every room chosen by the owners.
• Many people feel some discomfort when using such furniture. In the case of vertical fixation, you may get the feeling that the structure is at risk of failure at any moment, after which the stock will fall down. Such a perception of reality, of course, is erroneous - in fact, high-quality finished structures are fixed very well and reliably, and during the manufacturing process they are repeatedly tested for strength and safety.
• If household members need time to sleep during the day, then the specified furniture structure will have to be laid out again.

Tips for choosing

Each buyer selects furniture depending on his taste and the interior of the room, but there are several aspects that you must pay attention to when choosing:

Quality of material. It is best to choose a transforming bed made of MDF or natural wood. This material guarantees a long service life of the furniture.

• You should not opt ​​for the cheapest models. A product that is very cheap may indicate low quality construction. It is better to give preference to a more expensive but proven furniture brand.
• When choosing a product in a store, you should ask for the opportunity to personally try to disassemble and reassemble the transforming bed. Furniture should be used without load. If disassembly does not require much effort and is easy, then you can safely purchase this particular furniture.

Previously, transformable beds were produced exclusively by Western furniture brands (Germany, France, Spain). But modern furniture from domestic manufacturers is not much inferior in quality to its foreign competitors

Moreover, furniture from a domestic manufacturer will cost much less. Particular attention should be paid to the strength of fastenings, folding mechanisms and supports, because this is the main component of transformable beds. The dimensions of the furniture must correspond to the height of the person. There is a simple way to determine whether a bed will suit a person's configuration: to do this, you need to lie on the bed and put your hands behind your head

If the elbows do not extend beyond the bed, and there is a distance of 15-20 cm from the elbow to the edge, then such furniture is guaranteed to fit.

​

A small living space is not a reason to refuse comfortable and stylish furniture. Following the simple recommendations presented above will help you choose the right quality transforming bed for a small apartment that can last a long time.

Advantages and disadvantages of a transforming sofa

Functional furniture allows you to rationally use your living space. The sleeping place, indispensable for a night's rest, is put away in the closet, leaving a sofa in the room, which turns the bedroom into a living room. This transformation does not disrupt the normal rhythm of life in a small apartment, keeping his living space free throughout the day.

During the day, the bed hides and frees up space in the room

The transformation function is implemented by lifting mechanisms, which has certain advantages:

1. All types of furniture transformation (bed, sofa, armchair, wardrobe) decorate the interior of the room.
2. The design is durable, convenient, and easy to use.
3. The functionality allows you to change the interior design the required number of times.
4. The position is ensured by simple transformation mechanisms.
5. Takes up little space when assembled. This allows it to be installed in small rooms for two children, where the saved space becomes a play or learning area for the student.

With all the variety of advantages, furniture has disadvantages:

1. The kit creates additional work for daily unfolding.
2. Not all owners of small apartments can become owners of this set, but only those whose premises have a permanent wall.
3. The design is affordable for families with above-average incomes

The design has limitations. It can perfectly perform all functions in small rooms with solid walls. If they are not available, you cannot purchase it, since a regular wall may not support the weight of the kit.

Examples in the interior

It is noteworthy that you can easily place transformable bunk beds anywhere. Even a small area will be enough. So, for example, a similar bed-sofa can be successfully placed in the living room. In the evening, the furniture will become a comfortable place to relax, and in the morning the structure will turn into a cozy sofa, where everyone can sit, leaf through a magazine or watch their favorite TV series. This option is quite practical and interesting. You can choose the brightest and most creative options. Everything will depend on the style direction of the room.

If you want to place the product in a nursery, then you can take a closer look at models that transform into a desk. There, students will be able to do homework. In the evening, you can simply dismantle the bed and rest peacefully.

For adults, you can place a bed-wardrobe where wardrobe items will be stored. The model may also have additional drawers or shelves, which will also help conveniently store necessary things.

We looked at the features and advantages of transformable bunk beds. Now you can choose the option that suits your liking, taste and pocket. Don't be afraid to spend money on quality furniture. It will serve you for a long time. Also consider the interior of your apartment as a whole.

Customer Reviews

Users note that this type of furniture significantly saves space in the house and helps families living in limited living space. The emphasis is placed on the fact that such transformable furniture cannot be cheap, since its mechanism itself must be reliable and of high quality, which means you have to pay for it.

Some buyers believe that it is difficult to assemble and disassemble the wardrobe bed every day and over time the device will remain disassembled. On the other hand, if guests come to the family, then at any time you can hide the sleeping place and free up space for them.

How does a transformable bed work?

A transforming bed can become a full-fledged sleeping place for one or two people, depending on the size of the bed. The rising part of the bed with the mattress when folded is hidden in a special niche and hidden by the front part, which can be decorated with mirrors and other aesthetic materials.

The furniture module itself is fixed to the wall using anchor bolts. The bed and cabinet are connected by special hinges. This assembly scheme allows you to place the wardrobe-bed only against the main wall.

The process of folding and unfolding the bed is greatly facilitated by the presence of a lifting mechanism. The legs of the bed can be hidden in special grooves. Alternatively, a curved metal pipe can be used instead of legs.

The front part of the transformer is made of a variety of materials. It could be:

• — easy-to-clean and stylish plastic;
• — mirrors and glass;
• — laminated chipboard or MDF;

All of the materials listed above are durable and functional.

Depending on the type of folding, wardrobe beds are divided into two groups:

• — horizontal: when folded up, the side of the bed rises, and the berth is located along the wall;
• — vertical: the foot end of the bed rises.

transformable beds: single and double

The second option is preferable for most double bed customers. But children's beds are often ordered horizontal.

Springs and gas lift: advantages and disadvantages

The convenience and reliability of using transformable furniture is largely determined by the quality of the lifting mechanism. To make folding double beds, two types of mechanisms can be used:

• — spring blocks;
• — gas lifts.

Twisted springs of the first type of mechanisms are designed for 20 thousand working cycles. The spring block is attached to the box with a steel bracket. The adjusting bolt allows you to adjust the desired degree of spring tension.

The working medium of gas mechanisms is nitrogen. The steel turning plates of the mechanism are connected to a piston, which is filled with gas, on one side, and to the bed base on the other. The presence of a gas shock absorber greatly facilitates the process of unfolding and folding the bed.

The undeniable advantages of spring shock absorbers compared to gas shock absorbers are:

• — the cost of the mechanism itself and, accordingly, the finished transforming bed;
• — aesthetic appearance: the springs are invisible, while the gas lift parts are clearly visible when the transformer is unfolded;
• - adjustability: you can use an adjusting bolt, or you can remove or add one or more springs.
• — The obvious advantages of gas mechanisms include:
• - significant service life, which is about 50 years;
• - ease of use of the bed, which can be unfolded or folded with a slight movement of the hand;
• — smooth unfolding and folding, provided that the mechanism is correctly selected depending on the size and weight of the bed.

3-in-1 options

A bed that hides in a closet will no longer surprise anyone. And its functionality is very limited. It is much more profitable to choose the 3-in-1 option, in which the folding bed is combined with a sofa, secretary, work or dining table. So-called secret beds are also in demand.

3-in-1 option with sofa

The most popular modification of 3-in-1 furniture. A universal option that allows owners of a small apartment to immediately acquire both a comfortable bed and a stylish sofa on which they can accommodate guests, allow children to romp around, or sleep their beloved pet.

The sofa has a special niche that can be used to store pillows and blankets. The sofa provides additional support for the bed, which ensures greater reliability of the structure.

3-in-1 option with table

This version of transformable furniture is suitable for a living room, a study, and a children’s room. The obvious advantage of the model is that when unfolding the bed, you do not need to remove the computer and other things from the table.

secret bed

An ideal option for rooms where a bed may not be needed very often, for example, in an office, where you need to stay late during emergency situations. A special feature of the design of a cabinet with a secret bed is that the shelves for storing things are located on one side, and the mattress with a folding module is on the other.

Materials

Different materials are used in the production of different models of 3-in-1 wardrobe beds. This factor affects the final cost of the furniture structure. Let's figure out what the fillings and upholstery of these structures are made of.

Fillers

When choosing the ideal sofa cabinet, it is important to pay attention to the filling material. The quality of the filler determines how comfortable the bed in the structure will be for sleeping. Cheap and low-quality filling materials can not only be completely inconvenient, but will also be subject to rapid deformation and loss of shape.

Cheap and low-quality filling materials can not only be completely inconvenient, but will also be subject to rapid deformation and loss of shape.

The following fillers are recognized as the most popular.

Polyurethane foam (or PPU). This filler is most often found in transformable or built-in furniture. This material has a long service life, is relatively inexpensive, but is relatively tough.

Upholstery

The upholstery material of the selected furniture also plays an important role. This parameter affects not only the practicality of the products, but also their appearance. Good and beautiful upholstery can make even the simplest wardrobe-sofa with a built-in sleeping place more impressive and pleasant.

Suitable types of upholstery.

Genuine Leather. This upholstery is the most expensive, but its appearance matches the cost. This material lasts a long time and is not subject to damage or loss of presentation.

The price of such cabinets starts from eighteen thousand rubles.

Table-bed: the best option for a schoolchild

Is it difficult to find space for a bed and a desk in a small children's room? In this case, a table-bed is suitable. Such transformable tables and beds for a small apartment can include, in addition to the table, shelves for books and drawers for small items. The only downside is that you have to remove everything from the table before turning it into a sleeping place. But now new models are appearing in which you don’t have to touch the contents of the table, including the computer. All this moves smoothly into the space behind the bed and does not interfere with rest.

If there are two or more children in a family, it is especially important to save space in the children's room. Kids need a place to play and exercise.

Not two, but three or even four beds are built into such a piece of furniture. The sleeping places pull out like shelves in a closet. There is no need to make and clean the beds every time. Push it in and it's done.

Features of choosing a transforming bed for an apartment

You can purchase a ready-made design or make a full order.

Make sure that the design is holistic not only from a technical point of view, but also in terms of style

In this case, the features of the furniture body and the compatibility of their color with the decoration of the walls, floor, ceiling, as well as with the rest of the furniture are taken into account. Take into account the color of the soft part of the sofa, which should fit perfectly into the overall style of the room. Remember that too much furniture makes the space feel cramped

Unfortunately, we do not have the opportunity to expand the walls in the room, but there is every chance to install one piece of furniture instead of two oversized objects.

• Choose furniture not only taking into account the unity of the interior style, but also based on your state of health. Don't chase a specific model just because its price or appearance suits you. Buy only that piece of furniture that is guaranteed to provide you with a healthy sleep and will have good orthopedic characteristics.
• You can choose a product for absolutely any room. For each case, prudent manufacturers have made several current options, the use of which provides undeniable comfort and other advantages.

Main elements and characteristics

The bed, combined with a sofa, combines the details of each of the listed pieces of furniture. It consists of:

• sofa frame and bed frame (the latter comes with or without a mattress);
• headboards of the bed and side backs of the sofa with or without upholstery;
• lifting mechanism for the berth and retractable support legs;
• mattress restraints, fastening straps, other fasteners;
• pencil case with shelves for clothes, linen, books (optional).

When choosing such furniture, pay attention to its technical and operational characteristics:

• Mounting not only to the wall, but according to the “floor-ceiling” principle.
• A bed base for a mattress - often with orthopedic properties.
• Bed width - 900 mm, 1200 mm, 1400 mm, 1600 mm, 1800 mm. Length - 1900 mm and 2000 mm.

The lifting mechanism is represented either by coiled springs or special gas devices. In the first case, it is made of high-strength carbon steel, in the second, the actions are carried out under pressure.

How to choose?

When purchasing, pay attention to the following points:

It is worth noting that a transformable bunk bed can be made from a variety of materials. Basically, they are combined with each other. Metal, wood, and textiles are often used. Plastic is used quite rarely due to its toxicity.

It is important not only to choose a stylish and fashionable model, but also to choose high-quality furniture. To do this, you should purchase goods only in trusted furniture stores.

Before you go to the checkout and pay out a round sum, be sure to read the documents that will confirm the quality of the goods

There must be a warranty on the bed. It is worth checking the strength of the structure yourself. Inspect the furniture from all sides, check its integrity. All fastenings must be reliable and the folding mechanisms must work properly. If you notice any damage, it is better not to buy a similar model.

It will be good if you decide on the style in advance. This will make it easier and faster for you to choose the model you need. Consider which folding mechanism is most preferable to you. These can be retractable, folding, roll-out options. Their choice will be determined by the age of the child (if the furniture is purchased for the nursery) or their own preferences.

Be sure to ask about the foundation of the structure. It is best to choose orthopedic surfaces. However, they wear out over time, so it's worth investing in a suitable mattress. Choose a model that suits your size. Decide in advance where the bed will be in the room. This will make your choice easier. Don't be afraid to spend extra time studying the model thoroughly. After all, buying a transformable bed with two tiers is an important and responsible task.

What to look for when choosing

In order for such furniture to last as long as possible and remain in good condition, before purchasing you should pay attention to the following parameters:

• The headset must have maximum functionality. In addition to the ability to hide the sleeping area, it should have additional useful properties, for example, cabinets and shelves. Otherwise, the desire to save space will give an unclear result;
• corresponding cost. If a folding bed built into a closet with a sofa is extremely inexpensive, then you should think about its quality. Since the 3-in-1 design is designed to be folded and unfolded every day, it simply needs reliable fastenings. If the manufacturer saves on this, then the wardrobe-bed-sofa will not serve its owners for long;
• give preference to durable and high-quality materials. This piece of furniture will last you longer. It makes sense to pay once, so as not to worry about its premature breakdown;
• Pay attention to the build quality in advance. Handling furniture should not cause any difficulties. If, at the first attempt, something begins to stick or difficulty in assembly is felt, such a product should be abandoned, since it will only get worse;
• Pay attention to the upholstery and fillings of the sofa. It will be used throughout the day, so the quality and comfort of the material must be appropriate. The best upholstery options will be leather, eco-leather, velor and tapestry. It is optimal to use polyurethane foam (PPU) as a filler, since it does not lose its qualities for a long time, and people of any income can afford this option.

If you were unable to choose an option from ready-made models available for sale, or you need something non-standard, then a bed with a sofa built into a closet can be made to order according to individual sizes. However, in this case, its cost may increase significantly.

When choosing a wardrobe-bed with a sofa, remember that one set will replace three pieces of furniture at once. Opt for trusted manufacturers so that you can enjoy this folding design for many years to come.

Features of legs and fittings

When unfolded, the body of the folding bed is located on legs, so this furniture can support both representatives of an impressive weight category and a married couple. When folded, the legs are either retracted into special niches and cease to be visible, or remain visible.

Options are also possible here - the traditional legs at the corners of the bed can be carved or painted, representing a decorative element of the interior. And if the legs are made in the form of solid ribs, they can easily serve as shelves. However, using these shelves for their intended purpose will be problematic if the bed is intended for daily use.

What is a lift-up bed with a sofa

A wall-mounted bed with a sofa looks like a set consisting of a wardrobe and a sofa attached to it.
This can be either a free-standing cabinet or an entire multifunctional wall with drawers and shelves. In order to transform a sofa into a double bed you need:

1. Remove the sofa cushions that act as the back of the sofa (optional). In some models, the backrest folds automatically, according to the “Eurobook” mechanism.
2. Open the cabinet door on which the mattress is attached from the inside and move it to a horizontal position.
3. If necessary, lower the folding legs on which the bed frame will rest.

The place for organizing an overnight stay is ready. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

Types of transformable beds

Many buyers are interested in the question: what types of transformable beds are there? Modern furniture manufacturers offer many options for transformable beds, so you can always choose furniture that best suits your needs.

There are the following main types of such structures:

• folding wardrobe bed;
• table-bed;
• sofa bed;
• transformable bed for newborns.

Folding wardrobe-bed transformer

A folding wardrobe bed is a design that can easily be transformed from a wardrobe to a sleeping place and back.

The wardrobe-bed consists of two main elements - a stationary wardrobe, which is the basis of the structure, and a folding bed.

Depending on the orientation in space, a folding bed can be either horizontal or vertical.

Vertical orientation is the most rational option for placing a bed in a small room. In this case, the sleeping place can be of any size - from single to “royal”.

The horizontal orientation of the bed is used if the structure is additionally equipped with a spacious storage system or a bedside stationary table.

Depending on the size, folding beds can be:

• singles for adults and teenagers: 90x190 or 80x190 cm;
• for tall people: 90x200 cm;
• for small children: 150x70 and 160x70 cm;
• one-and-a-half-sleeping: 120x190 cm;
• double: with a width from 160 to 220 cm.

Transformable table-bed

A table-bed allows you to profitably organize two zones at once - a working and a sleeping area. This design is a full-fledged bed that can be transformed into a comfortable table.

Depending on the transformation methods, there are two types of table-beds:

• “table-up”: in this case, the sleeping place is lowered down at night, and the table is at floor level. In the morning, the table rises up - to do this, just pull the bed by the side and push it into the niche. The main advantage of this mechanism is that you don’t have to remove things from the table;
• “table-down”: in this case, the bed is located directly under the tabletop. To expand the sleeping area, the table is raised up, and during the day, on the contrary, it is lowered.

Transformable sofa bed

A sofa bed is a full-fledged sleeping place that can easily be transformed into a sofa. Depending on the shape, sofas can be:

• rectangular: a classic option that is ideal for installation in the center of the room;
• corner: such sofa beds are installed in the corner of the room, freeing up additional space;
• irregular shape: with a rounded seat or in the shape of a wave.

Sofa beds can have different folding options. The most popular of them are:

• book: first the seat of the sofa is raised, and the back is leaned back, and then lowered. This folding mechanism is considered one of the most reliable; it has a significant drawback - the inability to provide a perfectly flat sleeping area;
• Eurobook: in this case, the seat moves forward and the back rests on it. This mechanism is convenient because there is no need to move the sofa away from the wall;
• roll-out mechanism: the berth moves forward. The advantages of this method are the compact size of the sofa when folded and the spacious bed when unfolded.

Transformable bed for newborns

A transformable crib for newborns is an excellent option for young families, allowing you to save space in the room.

There are many models of such furniture, differing from each other in functionality and design. Depending on the configuration, cribs consist of various modules - tables, chests of drawers, removable cradles. In some designs, the changing table serves as the supporting structure of the crib; in others, it is possible to transform the chest of drawers into bedside tables.

Wardrobe-bed with sofa: a little history

The appearance of folding beds that can be transformed dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. Noble people and commoners appreciated this type of furniture, so enterprising manufacturers began to produce it all over the world - in Italy, France, the USA and in the East, even in Singapore. In this regard, the wardrobe-bed is not something fantastic, but acts as a completely normal, familiar furniture attribute. It is bought by people deprived of living space, members of the population who simply want to make their surroundings more comfortable, and wealthy citizens.
