Transformer wardrobe bed from Ikea

One of the most difficult tasks in arranging small apartments is to place the necessary furniture without overloading the space. There are many solutions to this issue, one of which is the use of a unique Ikea wardrobe bed. This type of furniture performs two functions: during the day it is a full-fledged corner for clothes, and at night it is a comfortable bed.

The peculiarity of this furniture is a simple scheme of "reincarnation". In appearance a regular bed is equipped with a special mechanism that allows it to transform into a completely different type of furniture - a wardrobe.

If at a certain moment the working surface of the transformer is necessary - a wardrobe, then the bed “drives in” under it.And when it is time to sleep, the bed is pulled out again and a place to sleep appears. And the cupboard, in turn, “drives in” the vacant space specially designed for the construction.

In order to achieve "reincarnation" of the cabinet in the bed and vice versa, you need only a few seconds. And the fact that during the transformation there is no need to remove everything from the cabinet and you can even leave the bedding on the bed during its reverse transformation makes this type of furniture an almost indispensable element of small children's rooms.

The transformer case bed is one of the most convenient and rational decisions of a modern interior. The main advantages of such models are:

• Maximum useful use of the minimum area.
• The perfect solution for a modern interior. In the era of such a popular High-tech and Modern, transforming furniture as well as possible meets the requirements of the modern interior style and embodies minimalism andconvenience. The stylish design of this type of furniture underlines the commitment to modern trends of its owner. Such furniture will be appropriate in any interior and will satisfy even the most demanding consumer taste (the variety of designs allows you to complement any interior).
• Lack of trouble when cleaning the apartment, because the design of the transformer cabinet-bed easily rises and provides free access to the floor.
• Ease and simplicity of operation. To use the mechanism of the transformer, you do not need to exert more physical force.
• The ability to equip furniture with additional designs. Since the wardrobe-bed transformer is a standard module, it is possible, if necessary, to expand its functionality and improve the initial design.

There are two main models of Ikea wardrobe beds: built-in folding and sofa. The difference in such furniture only in the mechanisms.

Depending on the weight and material of the bed, the dimensions and dimensions of its surface, the angle and height of the rise, for the manufacture of the transformer of the bed cabinet are used two main mechanisms: gas lift or with springs.

The gas lift mechanism is convenient because when the structure is moved by means of a high pressure of compressed gas, the bed is transformed smoothly, without external physical efforts and additional help. The case bed with the gas-lift mechanism of transformation is fixed by means of locks.

The principle of operation of the transformer furniture with a spring mechanism is based on the properties of the spring, which, in turn, are endowed with a wide range of possibilities. The power of the spring mechanism is conveniently adjusted with a bolt. Depending on whether it is necessary to increase or decrease the force of elasticity, the required number of springs is removed or vice versa, the design is supplemented by them.

The materials from which the transformer is made, determine not only the appearance of the furniture, but also affect the durability of the product, its safety and ease of use.

Depending on the raw materials that are used in the manufacture of the body of the product emit:

• Transformers with the case from a natural tree and the massif. They use such tree species as pine, rattan, alder, oak. The quality and naturalness of the material determines the high cost of furniture.The wooden case is rather heavy construction, therefore it is not always suitable for children and the elderly.
• Transformers with fibreboard housing, chipboard, various types of veneer. It is cheaper and easier analog of the wooden case. A table-bed made of this material combines most of the functions of wood, but, unlike products made from it, is lightweight. Transformable furniture made of such material is ideal for the interior of small children's rooms.
• Transformers with a metal casing have a fairly solid construction, but do not always have an attractive appearance, unlike previous versions.

Often Ikea in the manufacture of transformers in order to achieve the required functional characteristics is based on one of the above materials in combination with others: plastic, MDF, particleboard and various polymers.

Choosing a bed from materials that are cheaper, there is a risk to stumble upon products of rather low quality, besides dangerous for health. Beds made from laminated chipboard or MDF can emit formaldehyde, which is used in the course of their production, which can adversely affect the health of the owner.Of course, you shouldn’t completely exclude this type of material, there are also models that are made quite qualitatively, but this should be supported by a certificate that is directly accessible from the seller.

The material of furniture upholstery and the exterior of the cabinet bed are no less important components of the product than the material of the frame itself, since they play the main role in giving the product a unique appearance.

Depending on the main purpose of purchasing this type of furniture and the taste preferences of the buyer, Ikea offers a wide selection of products with all kinds of surface finishes. Smooth eco-leather and a cozy tapestry, luxurious suede and durable jacquard, practical flock and matting - each of the fabrics has its own advantages and is attractive in its own way.

The modern market offers a wide variety of models of wardrobe beds with a transforming mechanism. Ikea is no exception.Among the options offered, you can choose the desired bed size for both an adult and a child.

The standard size of a wardrobe-bed with one berth is 80x190 cm. There are also more spacious variants - 90x200 cm. Dimensions of children's beds are 70x150 cm.

Transformers with an extra berth are very popular among the models of wardrobe beds for children's rooms. This is very convenient when the family has two children of about the same age. Transformer models with an extra bed are a two-tier structure, where the lower part is transformed into a closet, and the upper one looks like a bed equipped with a special rim and a ladder for safe descent.

There are models in which the bed is presented in the form of a double module. Transformer wardrobe bed with the option of a second bed - this is only +100 cm to the bed in the unfolded state, which disappear when folding the bed, freeing up exactly the same amount of space in the apartment.

In order not to be mistaken in choosing the ideal sleeping place for your apartment, it is worth making some preparations before immediate purchase.

If a person often turns in his sleep and likes to sleep in the position of an asterisk, having stretched his arms and legs in all directions, then it is better to look at beds with a larger width.

Ideally, the length of the bed should be greater than its owner’s height by 10-30 cm. If a person slides a little at the foot of the bed during sleep, he needs to choose a longer bed so that his legs do not hang in a vacuum.

If you prefer a harder or softer bed, you should try it right in the store. Sit on it, then try to lie down and move. Try to take the position in which you usually fall asleep and wake up, and see if the mattress is comfortable. Remember, the bed must be selected exclusively for themselves, so uncomfortable options should be immediately discarded.
