Metal single beds

Metal products have always been valued by man, as they were distinguished by their strength and durability. Today, these attributes are particularly popular. A special place among them is occupied by the bed, on which depends not only the quality of sleep, but also the interior of the bedroom. The design of this type perfectly adapts to any design, while retaining its unique features.

Metal beds are very often made by the conveyor method. Several basic metals are used as the base material:

• iron - the main product;
• brass - is much less common.

The main components of this design are hollow tubes that are connected in a specific shape. This can significantly reduce the weight of products, as well as the cost of raw materials without losing the main technical features. The supporting elements under the mattress are made of metal corners of a certain thickness.

Beds of this kind are gradually gaining popularity. They have a unique design and durability. Products made only by hand. For this, metal blanks are heated to a certain temperature. This allows you to form from it a product of complex shape. Between the elements are fixed by welding. Among the advantages of these models can be distinguished strength, and the ability to withstand heavy loads. This value may be several times higher than that of previous analogues.

Forged bed is much more expensive, since its shape is much more complicated and sophisticated. This, in turn, requires time and manual labor. Make this production of several substances:

• aluminum;
• copper;
• cast iron;
• iron.

These materials are often combined, which allows you to give the bed a beautiful style and design. But there are models that are made from only one substance.Forged beds are covered with special powder paints, matching them to the style of the room.

An iron bed is a common construction that is found in almost every home. This product consists of several basic elements:

1. Frame This attribute is used to attach the remaining elements. In some modifications it may be absent, since this function is performed by other elements.
2. Backrest. Often they are also supporting structures, as they are complemented by legs. The back, located at the head of the bed, is often somewhat higher than the opposite element.
3. Frame. The design has a rectangular shape and is made of durable metal corners. In the simplest models, this part consists of two transverse straps that connect the backs, forming an integral structure.
4. Base on the frame. This part is located between the supporting elements. Depending on the model, the beds may be equipped with springs, wooden or metal lamella, mesh, etc. It should be noted that in some types these elements may be missing.Beds of this kind are sold with a mattress that fits on the frame.
5. Legs. These elements are often attached to the backs, but there are models where they are an individual element.

Metal furniture has always been in demand by many people. No exception are the beds, which have several significant advantages:

1. Strength. Metal is difficult to damage, as it resists mechanical stress very well.
2. A variety of designs. Beds are made in various forms that allows you to combine them with other elements of furniture.
3. The ability to withstand a lot of weight. Metal is difficult to bend, especially if the structure consists of forged elements or thick blanks. This allows them to be exploited by people of different weight categories.
4. Environmental friendliness. In the production of furniture is used only high-quality metal, which does not emit any harmful substances. Therefore, the beds are suitable for both adults and small children.
5. Sustainability. This feature is characteristic of heavy structures, which are difficult to move on their own.
6. Relatively low price. On the market today you can find metal beds of varying cost.

But furniture of this kind has several negative aspects:

1. The metal is very badly resistant to moisture, which leads to its rapid destruction. To eliminate this factor, experts recommend to monitor the condition of the surface of the product and, if necessary, cover it with appropriate paint or varnish.
2. Metal constructions are cold, which is not always nice for the owners.
3. Substandard models may have a variety of sharp bulging elements. This greatly increases the risk of injury (especially if children are sleeping or playing on it).

Designs of this type can be classified according to several criteria. One of these parameters is age. Depending on it, we can distinguish the following types of beds:

1. Products for adults. Designs differ in size and durability. There are several types of these products on the market. The most common sizes are beds 90x200 cm and 80x200 cm.
2. Children's furniture. Surface length does not exceed 160 cm. It should be noted that not only classical types of structures are present here, but also such products as cradles (equipped with swing mechanisms).

There are also bunk beds. Structures on the metal frame combine two single-tier beds, which are installed one on top of the other.

Metal is quite difficult to adapt in the interior, especially if one such attribute is used. Therefore, in order to make the bed look quite practical, it should be supplemented with several additional elements:

1. Forged chest. It can be installed at the head of the bed and used as a dresser.
2. A padded stool with metal design. It looks great in the bedroom, designed in a classic style.
3. To dilute the design, near the beds you can install forged lamps. The same effect will be obtained with the use of metal mirror frames, candlesticks, hangers and other metal elements.

Metal beds only seem simple at first glance, but they are not. Today they fit perfectly in different styles:

1. Forged structures are perfect for rooms, decorated in the style of Provence, country and vintage. It is important that the design of the racks correspond to the main direction of the interior.
2. A white canopy bed will perfectly fit into the oriental style. It will be well combined with carpets, which are dominated by gold or purple shades. Complement the room also bronze or copper, which is present in various figurines or vases.
3. The bedroom in the style of minimalism is desirable to complement the rectangular beds, in which there is a chrome or matte finish.

Products of this type are universal, which allows them to be used in various fields: from medicine to construction. When buying a metal bed, you should follow a few simple rules:

1. First of all, you need to decide on the size of the model. Often the choice is between the nursery or adult bed.
2. It is also important design purpose. Metal furniture can be used for arranging beds at a construction site or as the main bed in a house. For the first option, suitable factory products, which will perform the main function.
3. Style products. This feature is important if you want to adapt the bed to a specific interior. It is better in this case to order goods with individual parameters.
4. Type of foundation. This characteristic is one of the most important, as the quality of sleep depends on it. Today, wooden lamellae are used as supporting surfaces. Mesh designs are very tough and have a bad effect on sleep.

Buying such constructions, you should give preference only to proven manufacturers. Metal beds are an opportunity to combine practicality with durability, sophistication with simplicity. Experiment, and this piece of furniture will become a favorite place for rest and relaxation.
