Beds with lifting mechanism 180x200 cm

They say a lot about the household advantages of double beds with a lifting mechanism: it creates extra storage space and provides a good sleep, because there is plenty of room for it. Its device is simple: a box of a bed has a couple of boxes inside and an orthopedic base on top, which rises and falls with the help of a special mechanism and handle, opening access to the storage place. The models differ in the type of mechanism itself, the materials used and the exterior design, but one thing is perfect in them - the parameters of a double bed.

In the conditions of a small apartment or a small bedroom, you want to save space and save yourself from a pile of clothes in a chair or next chiffonier. A bed with a lifting mechanism will become that lifesaver, which will both save space and provide complete rest. Its advantages:

• Saves space - now bedding and "unnecessary" seasonal things are easy to hide from prying eyes in the drawer under the bed;
• Easy to use. If the bed is equipped with a lifting mechanism with gas shock absorbers, then even a child will be able to get to the boxes - the base literally rises silently and gently drops back;
• Say no to dust. A big plus of the bed with a lift and storage box is that under it does not accumulate dust and dirt in an amount in which they usually accumulate under simple cots;
• Large selection of frame materials and ducts from inexpensive chipboard and MDF up to eco-friendly solid wood, which at the same time determines the final cost of the product;
• Stylish appearance and the possibility of combining with any style in the interior.

Like any other furniture, the bed has a number of not very positive features, such as:

• High price for a product made of high-quality chipboard or 100% solid wood, for an import mechanism or all together. A good bed will not be cheap;
• The need to replace the lifting mechanism in 3-10 years. The exception is models with manual loops for lifting, they will not have to be changed;
• Difficulty in rearrangement. A bed with a lifting mechanism cannot be easily moved from its place, the construction is very heavy in it;
• Additional care is required models from natural wood - they must be protected from high humidity and dryness, that the tree has not swelled or cracked, cracked or deformed.

A special mechanism opens and closes the bed, it also fastens its box with an orthopedic base and a mattress or bed. According to their type, they are:

• Spring loaded;
• Manual;
• With gas shock absorber.

Springs are used as the main element - they provide a soft and easy lifting of the bed. However, it does not differ in durability: the springs wear out within 3-5 years and require a complete replacement of the mechanism. The advantages of this system include its availability (in terms of cost), ease of use (for raising and lowering do not have to make a lot of effort) and safety.

The most advanced type of mechanism. It is very easy to raise and lower the base with him - the bed literally does everything herself, just pull the handle at its foot.The service life of gas lifts ranges from 5 to 10 years, depending on the frequency of use and the quality of the fittings. Good in its characteristics Italian and Russian lifts.

It has neither springs nor gas shock absorbers, which means that in order to raise the bed base, you will have to sweat and remove the mattress - this way it will be easier to open the “storage”. The lifting mechanism without auxiliary elements is the most affordable and most reliable in terms of use. It will not have to be changed either after 5 or after 10 years.

A bed with a lifting mechanism and dimensions of 180x200 cm is suitable for placing two adults and even a small child between them. It is spacious and compact at the same time, it has a pleasant exterior design and materials from which it is made. Taking into account the following parameters will help to correctly approach its choice:

• Manufacturer. Russian and Belarusian manufacturers have proven themselves well: Ormatek, Askona, ADA, Esta, Anrex and others. If we talk about the manufacturer of the lifting mechanism, then this could be Russia or Italy;
• Type of mechanism. Perhaps the most important point.If you want to save the budget, then choose the spring type, but remember that after 3-5 it will have to be replaced with a new analogue. If quality and ease of use come first, then make your choice in favor of gas shock absorbers;

• Side opening. They are of two types: on the side (from right to left, for example) or from the foot to the head of the bed. Her choice depends on individual preferences;
• Coupling box. A strong and high-quality bed has three additional crossbars inside the box, which strengthen its walls and divide the space of the box into two halves;
• Bed frame. Choose a model with a frame thickness of about 6 cm - this is a guarantee of strength and durability of the product;
• Base. In all modern models it is orthopedic. It differs in the number of lamellae (curved birch crossbeams) and weight, which is able to withstand from 80 to 240 kg for one berth;
• Lamels - small plates, which create an orthopedic bed base, withstand the weight of a mattress and a person. Choose models from birch - flexible and durable eco-friendly material, or beech. It is important that there is no more than 35 mm between them for a springless mattress.

It is good if the seller assembles the bed himself in your home - this is a guarantee of proper assembly and safe use of furniture, since the installation of the lifting mechanism still requires qualification and knowledge.

180x200 cm is the standard size of a double bed. The assembled model is usually different: it is more than 5-12 cm due to the presence of the frame, back and foot (if any).

180x190 cm also applies to standard models and allows you to save a little bedroom space, provided that this length is enough for you.

The beds differ from each other in appearance: there are completely solid models and soft ones with a textile headboard and frame. The box of any model is made of wood or its analogue: solid wood, chipboard or MDF, the bed can be additionally upholstered in natural or eco-leather, any furniture fabric, whether it is velor or velveteen.

The soft bed allows you to create an accent in the interior - a high textile or leather headboard instantly catches the eye, especially if it has an unusual shade.
