The most convenient transformer is a bed on the control panel, which does not require the slightest physical labor.
What are the advantages of the folding bed
? The primary advantage of the transformer is the necessary space in the bedroom, especially when it comes to small apartments, where the area is not only a sleeping but also a workplace. Additional features of the bed-cabinet can also be:
- Safe simplicity of transformation, which is important for children and the elderly.

Folding bed by types of mechanisms
Transformers can be of several types. It all depends on what type of housing you have, where you want to arrange a bed-wardrobe. Available types of mechanisms:
- Gas spring. The device, inside which there is a gas, pressing on the piston. When you want to expand or assemble the transformer, the manual control is triggered and the bed is set in motion. Such a versatile cabinet is completely safe and has a good service life. True, and the pleasure is not cheap, but the risk to give the bed-wardrobe in repair is almost zero.
- Spring mechanism. Simplified version of the transformer with a fast retractable device. It has a built-in spring, which can deform with time, which will result in a replacement of the closet-bed. True, this type of transformer is very popular, because it costs an order of magnitude cheaper.
Vertical folding beds-transformers
This kind of bed is good because in the daytime it hides in a fake cupboard, releasing up to 2 m of area in length and width. Under the order a bed in the wall can be supplemented with necessary furniture( hinged shelves, side cabinets, table).It is best that the frame of the vertical transformer is metal, and the auxiliary parts, the lining - from chipboard or MDF.
It is important to prepare carefully before installing the product. For example, a bed-wardrobe double transformer bulky and with the modification takes a lot of space on the floor. The design should be on a flat surface. Sometimes it is necessary to level the base of the room so that the bed does not break afterwards. Mount the cabinet, of course, you need to a concrete or brick wall. There is no question of any drywall.
The bed in the closet is the perfect solution for a children's room. Especially when the transformer is complemented by a sofa or desk. This closet-bed is an order of magnitude higher, but it is considered a universal full-fledged furniture. Often, the dimensions of the product are 2х1 m and can be changed at the request of the client. Bed-transformer for teenagers has a major advantage over other models: when moving all items on the table remain in their places. This is very convenient, because every time, preparing for bed, do not need to spend time on putting things in order on the work surface.
Horizontal built-in bed
This type of construction is more suitable for small rooms. Ideally, this is a bed-wardrobe, a children's transformer, which has one bed. If the folding product in most cases goes double and during the modification takes up most of the space in the room, then the horizontal mechanism neatly leaves the cabinet or even easier - from the sofa turns into a bed.
At installation you do not even need additional fasteners, as the design can be folded in accordion. True, such a wall-bed-transformer is less common and causes some inconvenience. First, it is designed for a teenager. Secondly, with daily transformation you will have to collect bed linen and hide in the closet. This is an outlet for very small rooms, but it is not as practical as, for example, a bed-wardrobe-sofa.
How to choose the closets-beds transformers
Before buying universal furniture, you need to think about everything, so that subsequently the transforming wardrobe does not occupy even more space than the usual sleeper. What you need to pay attention to:
- Dimensions. For spacious rooms, you can stay on a double vertical transformer. For small-sized one-room apartments one-or one-and-a-half-bed bed leaving the closet is suitable.
- The structure of the transformer. The bed adjacent to the wall with a frontal surface will occupy more space than the furniture placed side by side to the partition.
- Design. The facade of the transformer also plays an important role in the selection of furniture. The cabinet can be executed in several variations. More simplified facing is MDF, laminated chipboard. If you want to improve the interior of the room, then it is better to order a bed-wardrobe with a mirror facade. From materials in the assortment there is a tree, plastic, combined bases.
- Lifting mechanism. From the proposed options there is a conventional spring device and gas lift. The latter predetermines the lifetime of the transformer. If the springs with time can break, then the gas device works with minimal friction of the parts and rarely brings the owner of the bed-cabinet.
- The basis of the design. When choosing a bed, it's better to stay on a model that has solid boards, rather than stand-alone legs.

Reviews
Eugene, 34 years : If you choose a wardrobe-bed, you must take into account the quality of the material from which the body is made. For example, the frame from the chipboard will quickly break. The ideal option is steel material. It is clear that the price of such a transformer will be about 20 000-30 000 rubles, but it will serve for more than 30 years.
Vladislav, 40 years old : We have a small apartment. In one room we are with my husband, in the second - with my daughters. When they were still crumbs, there were no problems with the situation. With age, the issue of an urgent change of the interior became the edge. When they bought a bunk bed-wardrobe, in the nursery immediately appeared more space, light. Everyone is very happy!
Natasha, 31 year : I bought myself a vertical folding transformer. At first it was not customary. First, high. Secondly, so that the bed linen does not move, you need to fix the bed with special straps. When I got used, I started to enjoy extra space. On each side I also have single-winged cabinets.
