As a rule, these models have a high headboard. But the beds with a low headboard a lot of fans. For its design uses a variety of materials. They differ in quality cost, which is reflected in the price of finished furniture.

• Genuine Leather. Pleasant to the touch, chic in appearance.The choice of respectable buyers for elite interiors. This is a costly material prone to abrasion over time. Easy to drape. A product with a leather base needs regular care with special products.

• Arpatek. Durable and soft at the same time. Perfect imitation of genuine leather. Often used as upholstery. The advantage over natural leather is that the material is more resistant to abrasion, easy to clean, does not shine.

• Suede. Artificial is usually used, since it is more durable in operation and not as capricious as natural. Attracts buyers with a luxurious look. Looks great in rooms decorated in different styles, from Modern to Baroque.

• Velours. Inexpensive, but no less stylish material than the above variations. But not without flaws - the nap is erased over time.

• Tapestry. The most unclaimed, but sometimes still occurring type of upholstery. Sophisticated for draping, but practical and durable.

And if the fabric headboard is more or less clear, then it is worth telling in more detail about the mechanisms for lifting the base.

Advantages of beds with the lifting mechanism:

• First of all, this model is very convenient in operation. Even a child can lift and lower the base without effort.
• The possibility of rational use of space. In the linen box fits not only bed linen and pillows, but also a lot of other things. For example, it is very reasonable to keep things there that are not used in the current season. Or something necessary, but rarely used in everyday life.
• If such a bed is in the nursery, you will no longer have a question about where to put all sorts of toys and "treasures" of the small occupants of the room.
• Multifunctional. The spacious niche under the base is fully capable of replacing a bulky chest of drawers or a bookcase. She will play the role of a linen chiffon or hide from prying eyes that which you do not wish to leave visible.
• Things are reliably protected not only from the views of others, but also from dust and dirt.
• Use the space under the base of the bed at its discretion.
• People who are forbidden to lift weights for health reasons can afford a bed with a self-lifting base.

Because of so many obvious advantages, it is such furniture products with an adjustable base that they prefer to purchase for installation in small premises. They easily solve the problem of lack of living space.

The storage system under the base has clear advantages over the retractable and rolling out options. This strength and ergonomics. In order to use a niche, you will not have to open drawers, occupying them with an already modest free space. And even in spacious bedrooms, raising the base is much easier and more convenient than moving something and rolling out somewhere.

The classification of transformation mechanisms occurs according to the type of elevator installed in them. Recline the base of the bed can up or to the side. If necessary, the cover is removed, but most often it is fixed slightly raised at an angle of 45 degrees from the plane of the frame.

The base can rise in several ways:

• Thanks to the coil springs. This method of transformation is suitable for everyday use and is popular due to its affordable price. But there is a minus here too. It consists in fast wear of springs. Manufacturers do not give warranties of over 5 years to maintain this type of furniture. The springs eventually begin to creak, stretch and even jump out.

• With the help of gas shock absorbers. Usually, it is the gas lift that is installed on the wide double beds of the newest model for lifting the base. To move the base to the open position and back, you will not need to make any effort. The gas system is distinguished by increased damping, allowing the sleeping surface to move up and down in a smooth manner, without making any noise, at any time providing easy access to the box under the base. On average, a guarantee for such lifts is given for 10 years. Choosing a gas shock absorber, it is necessary to take into account all the dimensions and weight of the bed.

• Hinged. This option is the cheapest. Lifting is carried out manually. The movement of the base occurs without auxiliary parts, which complicates the process, but favorably affects the strength of the mechanism.The cheapness is justified by the simplicity of the device, but the option on the springs or with a gas lift is better for the nursery, unless it is not planned to use the box regularly and it will be done by an adult.

Each of the described systems is distinguished by reliability and durability.. Even springs have a high chance to serve faithfully for more than a decade, provided they are not used every day. And the manual version should be used in single beds.

You can not ignore the frame of such a bed. It must be of high strength. It is preferable to choose metal, wooden (beech, ash, oak) or to focus on high quality chipboard, chipboard or MDF.

The choice is always yours. You will do it, based on your own preferences, selecting a bed for the overall bedroom design, guided by your own taste, focusing on certain parameters and the amount you plan to spend on the purchase.

In any case, the purchase of such furniture will be practical and profitable. Especially the comparison will go in favor of a bed with a storage box, if earlier you had a bed and a chest of drawers separately.You will appreciate the vacant space and order, which you will provide a deep linen niche. Choose reliable manufacturers and thoroughly study what the furniture is made of, on which you have to rest.
