Not everyone has luxury large apartments. Often, you have to calculate every centimeter of space and think about its practical use. Designers have long created a development that allows you to give functionality to the bedroom - double and single beds with lifting devices. A volume compartment for storing bedding and other things is hidden inside such furniture. Another advantage is the orthopedic base. It is also not difficult to raise a bed and fold things.
Types of devices
When purchasing a bed, it is important to make sure that the structure is light and reliable in operation. In the furniture market today, you can find three main types of mechanisms:
- gas shock absorbers;
- coil springs;
- manual lift.
All bed lifting mechanisms are sufficiently reliable and durable. They are fastened to the base of the mattress or to the side parts. This is a competent and completely new solution for the bedroom, relevant for small rooms. It is advisable to make a purchase from reputable companies that give a guarantee on the products.
Springs or manual lifting?
The most common is the manual version. It is easy to use and in design, durable, reliable and low cost. Manual mechanisms for raising the bed have one drawback: their use requires the application of physical effort. With rare use, this will not create problems, but it will be very inconvenient with daily.
Lifting mechanisms of the bed with coil springs are also simple and reliable to use. They have reasonable prices. The difference with manual is in lesser amount of expended efforts. But there were some minuses: a periodic replacement of the springs themselves is required here, since they are subject to wear and tension during operation.
Gas bed lift
A gas elevator is a common and convenient option, which is the most relevant today. Equipped with a gas lift, the bed opens almost independently.
The silent and smooth operation of the mechanism is simply amazing. The elevator is practical and reliable, often manufacturers give it a 5-year warranty.
Gas bed lifting mechanisms are capable of lifting mattresses of any weight, which is very convenient, since springless new orthopedic mattresses are quite heavy. The bed, depending on its weight, has a shock absorber with suitable power.
