Living in small apartments, it is very important to maintain free space in the room. Most often, such a question arises regarding the bedroom: bedding, pillows, mattresses. Where to store all this? If you leave on the bed, then all this is quickly gathering dust and gets dirty.
How to do it in this case? You can buy a soft bed with a lifting mechanism that will help solve several problems at once: space saving and high -quality sleeping place. Let’s look in detail all the advantages and disadvantages of such a choice.
Advantages of choosing a lifting mechanism
Probably, most people keep unnecessary things under the bed, where dust and dirt are also gathering, and to get there and wash everything — the process is very laborious and troublesome. Imagine that you smear with one hand to raise a lid with lamellas and mattresses and you will open a space where you can easily place, except pillows and blankets, even a spare mattress in case of unexpectedly arrived guests. Often the box is divided into parts for the convenience of storing things.
Another advantage, no doubt, is the absence of legs by the bed, which prevents the accumulation of dirt, and the space itself is tightly covered with a lid and the dust almost does not get inside.
The principle of operation of the lifting mechanism
There are three types:
Manual
On twisted springs
With gas shock absorbers
The cheapest and most reliable is a manual type. If you need to raise the lid at least once a day, this option should not be chosen — it requires great physical efforts.
The second option — lifting springs — also inexpensive and reliable, does not require great effort, but they must be periodically changed.
The so -called gas elevator is a very convenient option, does not require effort and even the child will cope with it. This is a modern type of mechanism and a guarantee for it is at least 5 years. These mechanisms are attached either to the base of the mattress, or on the side panels.
Material of manufacturing the frame
The thickness of the wood should be at least six centimeters to withstand the load from the rest. With this thickness of the tree, the bed looks heavy and bulky. But a beautiful decor of fabrics of various types, combined with other components, gives beauty and elegance and its design can be selected for any interior.
Another feature is the design of the box. It is necessary, at least three sidewalls in the design in order to prevent it from. Soft beds with a lifting mechanism — an ideal and modern solution for small apartments.
