Beds with storage boxes

A large, comfortable and spacious bedroom, the area of ​​which allows you to place a sufficient number of pieces of furniture, is the dream of many people. Unfortunately, not everyone has this opportunity. The space of some bedrooms is not as large as we would like, so you have to not only save almost every centimeter, but also increase the area in a variety of ways. One of these ways is to install a bed with boxes of linen.

The key to a comfortable stay in the bedroom is, of course, the bed. But, in addition to its direct purpose, a bed equipped with boxes for storing linen has more functions than just a sleeping bed. The presence of storage systems such as boxes endows this piece of furniture with a number of undeniable advantages.

The most significant advantage of this piece of furniture is the solution to the problem of storing various things. The drawers have enough space not only for bedding, but also for seasonal clothes, shoes and even books. This option will especially appeal to owners of small bedrooms. Indeed, very often there is no way to install a chest of drawers or a wardrobe in a small area. Therefore, beds with boxes for linen for such tiny bedrooms are sometimes the best solution.

But for a room with a decent area, beds with such a convenient storage system will not be superfluous even with a closet and other storage systems. There are always things that you don't want to put away far away, and the boxes located under the bed are always available. Thanks to the close-fitting design of the bed, the bedroom will always be kept tidy. It is quite problematic to lose things under it, and excessive accumulation of dust under such a structure is impossible.

The presence of a bed with such comfortable and spacious drawers allows you to refuse to buy additional pieces of furniture. And this is a significant savings in money for the family budget. In addition, the bedroom, not cluttered with unnecessary, sometimes very large furniture, looks much more spacious and freer, it is easy to breathe in it, and it is much easier and safer to move around. Another argument in favor of such beds is the skillful camouflage of the drawers. They fit so organically into the design of the bed that it is sometimes very difficult to determine their presence.

A storage system consisting of boxes differs in design, the number of boxes and the way they are transformed.

The design, endowed with drawers, has various transformation mechanisms:

• The most common system is equipped with rubberized wheels that are attached to the bottom of the box. It is very convenient to use drawers on wheels, their pull-out does not require much effort, and, in addition, if the material from which the wheels are made is of high quality, then such a system will serve for a rather long time.
• Beyond the wheels the boxes can slide out and slide along the guides. This system also has wheels, but they are small in diameter and move exclusively along special runners. Roller guides consist of two parts: one part is attached to the drawer, and the other to the bed frame.Thanks to the guides, the boxes move smoothly and do not move to the sides.
• A storage system can consist of one compartment, usually large and without rails or casters. Single compartment models are equipped with a lifting mechanism. Thanks to him, the bed rises, giving access to the drawer located below.

The boxes, regardless of the number, occupy the entire space under the bed without gaps and voids. Their number and location may vary. Most often, storage boxes are located at the bottom:

• Models with two drawers are found with different arrangement of storage boxes... When positioned on one side, both boxes extend to one side, and each has a length equal to the width of the bed, and the width with this arrangement is half the length of the bed. If the boxes are located on different sides, then the width of each practically corresponds to the length of the bed, and the length is half the width of the bed. Extension with this arrangement occurs in different directions.

• Models with 3 drawers also have a different arrangement, and their size depends not only on the size of the bed, but also on their number. The more boxes, the smaller the size of each of them. In such models, it is possible to place not only in the sides of the bed, but also in the front part.

• The model with 8 drawers allows not only to lay out a large number of things, but also to distribute them, having previously sorted them. As a rule, in such a model, the berth is very high, and the storage boxes are installed in two rows. This arrangement allows us to almost double the usable storage area.
• In addition to boxes, there is another storage system. It is located at the head. To access things, you need to flip down the panel.

Beds can be classified according to different criteria. In shape, they can be traditional rectangular, square, oval and even round. By the execution of the outer part of the frame: soft and hard.

Soft beds are additionally upholstered around the perimeter and at the headboard with special upholstery fabrics, thanks to which the chance of hitting sharp corners or injuring yourself on protruding parts tends to zero. Most soft beds have an orthopedic base consisting of slats. Only thanks to this specially designed base can the effect of the orthopedic mattress be maximized.

Today there is a huge variety of models, thanks to which a bed with drawers can be installed almost anywhere in the bedroom:

• With a sufficient area of ​​the bedroom, the bed is installed with the headboard against the wall parallel to the window. But not all bedrooms have enough space to accommodate a traditional double headboard bed that can be approached from three different sides. In a bedroom with a small area, you can install an equally comfortable and functional model with a slightly improved design, namely: with a side back. In addition to the headboard, this interesting and unusual model has an additional side panel attached along the length of the bed. Such a model is installed in any corner, which significantly saves the space of a small bedroom.

• Corner models have a modern look and are produced by manufacturers in a large assortment... They easily fit into any interior, and thanks to a wide assortment range, you can buy a copy that is suitable in style and size for your room.

• Beds with side backs are produced not only angular, but also straight. They can be installed in the corner and in the middle of the wall. In addition to the side wall, these models have a backrest at the head and legs. Most often, beds with three backs are purchased for children and the elderly. At night, such models serve as a comfortable resting place, and during the day, a bed with three backs serves as a full-fledged sofa.

• A built-in extra bed in side-back beds is not uncommon. Such a sliding design is very convenient: when folded, an additional space is located under the main one, and during transformation it is pulled out. Two- and three-tier structures for children are very often equipped with steps for convenience. They not only perform the function of lifting and lowering, but thanks to the built-in drawers, they become an additional storage system.

The three-back design is not only functional, but also cost-effective. Some manufacturers produce models with mattresses and even pillows.

• In addition to drawers, open shelves are also used as a storage system in structures for children. They are usually located in the side of a monolithic structure and are not only a convenient storage place, but also a decoration for the bed. In adult beds, shelves can be located at the base of the structure and serve as a storage place for books and other things that need to be at hand every day.

To date, manufacturers produce beds with linen boxes in various styles:

• Recently, the country style has been popular, characterized by simplicity of forms and natural materials. Country-style beds are characterized by such features as massiveness, deliberate rudeness, slight negligence, wicker or forged details.

For standard double versions, the width ranges from 160 to 200 cm.The most popular models have dimensions of 160x200 and 180x200 cm, it is these dimensions that contribute to a healthy and comfortable sleep for two people.

• Products with sizes 70x160 and 180x80 cm are produced for children. These dimensions are inherent in various bunk or three-tiered beds, as well as options with a side wall.

The main advantage of this material is its price. This material is quite resistant to mechanical damage. Does not dry out, exfoliate and mold for quite a long time.
