Features of beds with a lifting mechanism measuring 120x200 cm

The bedroom should be not only beautiful and harmonious, but also functional, regardless of the area. To cope with this task, you should buy the appropriate furniture. It should be comfortable and practical. Beds with lifting mechanisms are especially popular lately. Such designs are equipped not only with spacious double beds, but also with compact one and a half beds with a size of 120x200 cm.

By placing a small lifting bed in your bedroom, you will noticeably save free space. In such interior items, there are very spacious storage systems that can replace wardrobes and dressers. Without additional furniture, the room will be much more spacious.

These large storage areas are located under the bed base on which the mattress rests. To get to them, you need to raise this entire structure. Many housewives fell in love with such furniture due to the fact that dust practically does not accumulate under it. Thanks to this quality, the cleaning process in the bedroom becomes less laborious, since the folding furniture does not have to be moved away from a permanent place and climbed under it with a rag.

A semi-double bed with a folding mechanism can be purchased for any interior. Small options with a width and length of 120x200 cm will easily fit into many settings. The main thing is to correctly select a copy of a suitable design.

Modern manufacturers produce several types of lifting beds. They are equipped with various mechanisms, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages:

• One and a half beds are comfortable and affordable with coil springs... The base in such variants rises and falls as a result of the stretching of the springs. These parts are subject to wear and tear and the average life of such furniture is 3-5 years. If the springs in the lifting mechanism are out of order and have lost their flexibility, they cannot be repaired. We'll have to completely change the mechanism.
• Folding beds are now widespread. with gas lifts... Such parts are more practical, durable and easier to use. In such structures, the impressive weight of the mattress is completely transferred to the mechanism, which means that a person of any build and build can cope with folding the bed. It is also worth noting that mechanisms with gas shock absorbers work almost silently. The base in such systems rises and falls smoothly and without jerking.

• Beds are rightfully recognized as the simplest and most durable with manual lifting mechanisms... They are distinguished by a considerable service life, since they do not have a large number of additional parts subject to wear and tear. But the process of unfolding such mechanisms can cause some difficulties for the user.It takes a lot of effort to raise the base in hand beds. If you want to get to the niche in the interior of such furniture, you will have to remove the mattress, which will take a lot of time and free space in the room.

Functional beds with dimensions 120x200 cm or 120x190 cm are made from different materials.

Most often in stores there are inexpensive copies of MDF or chipboard. Such furniture most often has a fairly simple design. Finding a truly unique and luxurious model from these materials is quite difficult.

It is worth mentioning that a material such as chipboard is toxic. It contains formaldehyde resins, which bind wood waste together during the production process.

Lifting products made of natural wood boast a beautiful and elegant design. Such options can become a spectacular decoration for a bedroom. Wooden products are distinguished not only by their rich appearance, but also by their strength, durability and environmental friendliness. This bed, no doubt, can be placed in both adult and children's bedrooms.

However, if you decide to purchase a similar model, then you should be aware that it must be carefully looked after. Natural wood should be coated with special antiseptic agents. They are necessary so that the furniture does not dry out, crack or lose its rich color. In addition, parasites are often found in natural wood, which can also be avoided with the help of special means.

When choosing bedroom furniture, consumers rarely turn to iron options. This is because such beds always remain cold and unpleasant when touched. It is worth noting that in such products, the backs do not always look elegant. As a rule, iron beds are found in more modern interiors. They are hardly suitable for elegant and classic ensembles.

Another disadvantage of such models is their impressive weight. Iron beds are quite heavy. Moving such furniture from one place to another is not an easy task. Such options are recommended to be placed on floor coverings, complemented by carpets. This is necessary so that traces and dents from heavy furniture do not remain on the finishing materials.

The following materials are used to upholster modern semi-double beds with lifting mechanisms:

• Leather natural origin. Furniture with a similar finish is expensive, but has a chic appearance. Natural material is not subject to mechanical damage and retains its presentation for a long time.
• Leatherette. Such upholstery can often be confused with natural, but it has its own drawbacks. For example, rough leatherette does not tolerate temperature changes. Over time, cracks and scuffs appear on it.

• Eco leather. This high-tech material is insanely popular today. It looks attractive and comes in a variety of colors.But scratches easily remain on eco-leather, so you should treat it as carefully as possible.
• Textile. Textile beds are no less popular than leather beds. Such types of fabrics as chenille, velvet, corduroy, cotton, plush and other types of furniture textiles are often used to decorate such furniture.

When choosing a semi-double lifting bed, you need to pay attention to the following parameters:

• Mechanism. Be sure to check the correct operation of the lifting mechanism before purchasing. A sales assistant should help you with this.
• Materials. Of course, wood products are of the highest quality and recommended, but they are not cheap. If you are looking for a more affordable option, then take a look at the models from MDF or chipboard of class "E-1". The most durable are iron specimens.
• Upholstery. Pay attention to the bed upholstery. It all depends on your budget and personal preference. The most expensive are natural leather options.
• Manufacturer. Get a lift bed made by a trusted manufacturer with a good reputation. A low-quality model will not last long, and its lifting mechanism can cause you a lot of inconvenience during operation.
