Before you make a purchase of furniture, you need to determine its variety. Depending on the decomposition method, the bed with a folding lifting mechanism can be horizontal or vertical. The first option is suitable for a child or teenager. Unfolded, the bed is located along the wall. Such models are one and a half or single. When unfolding, they are compact, do not occupy the entire area of ​​the cabinet.

Products of the vertical type impose a serious load on the transformation mechanism. They can be of different sizes, and even two-tier. The berth reclines perpendicular to the cabinet body. When unfolded, such furniture takes up a lot of space. After assembly, the room turns into a living room or a full-fledged study.

As for the dimensions of the berth, they depend on the type of bed and the age of its owner. The table shows the main dimensions.

One and a half beds are 1.4 x 2 m in size, and double beds are 1.4-1.6 x 2 m. Depending on the additional functions, the following products can be distinguished:

1. Convertible convertible bed with a sofa. Great for studios and one-room apartments.

Materials of manufacture

A horizontal folding convertible bed, like other models of similar furniture, must meet all the requirements of durability and safety. Before buying, you need to pay attention to the material of manufacture of the frame:

1. Chipboard. This option is the most affordable and common. It is considered a budget, as it can be purchased by people with low incomes. But this material is not able to withstand loads for a long time and breaks quickly enough. Such a base will last up to 3 years.
2. MDF. This material is more durable, it can be used for 5 years. A cabinet with a built-in bed is made of such material by domestic and foreign manufacturers.
3. Wood. Such frames are highly durable, they can serve for years. In addition, wood is an environmentally friendly material. The only drawback is that if it is poorly dried, then with time it can warp or start to creak. Such problems are possible if you buy the product not in specialized stores. Wooden models have significant weight, so you need to install them in rooms with thick walls, and the lifting mechanism must be reliable.
4. Metal. From this material, not only the frame can be made, but also fasteners, legs, and a lifting mechanism. The advantage of heavy alloys is the lack of risk of their deformation. They are able to withstand a large mass.

Often materials are combined. Children's products are often made of chipboard, as there is no constant heavy load. For adults, it is better to choose options from wood or metal. If the base is made of MDF, it is strengthened with strong corners. The side parts of the frame are made of oak, pine, cherry, hazel. All the mechanisms by which the decomposition of the bed is made are made of heavy-duty metal, protected from corrosion.

How to fit into the interior

Any piece of furniture should be combined with the style of the interior in the apartment. As for color solutions, then the choice is individual. For lovers of classics, discreet, plain products of beige, white, gray, black are suitable. Bright furniture will be the highlight of the interior for those who like to experiment. In children's rooms you can install multi-colored beds with drawings.

Shades of furniture should not be too bright and caustic so as not to irritate the baby's still fragile psyche. Drawings of your favorite cartoon characters, flower glades, sea open spaces are suitable.

The bed, built into the wardrobe, is perfect for a bedroom, living room and even a balcony. Facades of furniture are made using MDF or chipboard panels that mimic natural wood. In order for the horizontal folding convertible bed to become the center of the room, it can be equipped with beautiful mirror surfaces. They can be glossy, matte, tinted, contain decorative photo-printing elements, contour drawings.

As for the design styles, the classic furniture is suitable for neutral, calm colors, with mirrors, bright prints and photo printing will fit well in high-tech, and muted shades in minimalism. Whatever type of transformer is chosen, the product must be of high quality, combined with other things in the room and like by its owner. There will always be order and comfort at home with him.
