Modern dwellings are so small and there is so much to fit in. That is why transforming furniture has become so popular lately. It can combine several different objects at once. So, comfortable and functional table-beds can serve as a sleeping and working place. Let's take a closer look at such models.

Advantages and disadvantages

The very limited footage of an apartment or a private house forces the owners to select furniture more carefully. It should be not only comfortable and of high quality, but also practical. For compact dwellings, the most successful options are transformer models. Currently, table beds are in great demand. Such interior items combine two functional areas, allowing you to significantly save the free area of ​​the room.

When folded, such furniture does not show its potential in any way and does not seem bulky. But after you expand such a model, you will see a multifunctional structure on which you can sleep and work. Especially often, such options are purchased for children's rooms and teenagers' bedrooms. So, the child will be able to get a good night's sleep on such a bed, and then do homework at the folding table.

Often, such transformers are equipped with additional drawers, wardrobes and shelves (in other words - wardrobe-bed-table).

They can be located above the bed or on the sides of the main frame. Thanks to such additions, it is possible to abandon the use of wardrobes and shelves in the room, since the additions of the table-bed can take over their role.

Modern transforming products are produced in a variety of stylistic directions. Also in stores you can find options made from various materials. You can choose a suitable copy for every taste, color and wallet.

The main disadvantage of such furniture is that it contains many auxiliary parts that are prone to breakage.

As you know, the simpler the design, the more reliable it is. In this case, the opposite is true. As a rule, transforming beds are equipped with complex mechanisms that, after regular use, can malfunction and break.

Varieties and designs

The transformer table-bed is more suitable for a children's room. Most often, such furniture is a duet of a desktop and a bed for sleeping. If necessary, one or another component of the structure can be "activated" as follows:

  • lifting the table and turning the bed from a vertical to a horizontal position;
  • a one-time reversal of the bed for sleeping and the table, in which it is not necessary to remove things from the working surface;
  • horizontal exit of the bed from the niche located at the bottom of the table;
  • changing the position and purpose of modular elements.

Today, in furniture stores, you can find a special transformer with a sleeping place and a table top, which is designed for the smallest.

The bases in such variants are equipped with comfortable beds, as well as a chest of drawers with a changing table.If the dwelling does not provide for a separate children's bedroom, then you can turn to multifunctional models that fold into a sofa, and after transformation they transform into a full-fledged sleeping place with a table or a high two-level bed.

The second option is especially useful if two children live in the apartment. They will be able to comfortably accommodate on different floors of a bunk bed, without interfering with each other.

The transformer table-bed is a great solution for a schoolchild. There are sophisticated models, in which, in addition to a table and a bed, there are shelves and cabinets, assembled into a single functional composition. In addition, not so long ago, improved copies appeared, in which there are fixed or mobile sleeping places intended for a second child.

One of the most popular are folding beds with a table function. They often have large storage systems. They can also be complemented with cabinets and shelves on which books, figurines and various decor items can be placed.

Materials and colors

Multifunctional table-beds are made from both expensive and cheap materials, so a buyer with any budget will be able to purchase a suitable option:

Chipboard and MDF

The most accessible and common are simple models from chipboard or MDF. Such raw materials do not differ in high cost, since they consist of wood waste and are not of particular value. Furniture made from these materials usually has a fairly simple design. It is very difficult to find a really stylish and designer model made of chipboard or MDF.

It is worth paying special attention to the composition of such material as chipboard. It contains toxic formaldehyde resins that evaporate at high temperatures.

These substances are harmful to human health, therefore, today many furniture factories use material of a safer class E-1, which contains a minimum amount of resins. Folding beds, trimmed with veneer, are also a good alternative to harmful furniture. These options are more expensive, but is the money issue so important when it comes to health.

Wooden

If you are looking for not only an environmentally friendly and safe, but also a beautiful option, then you should take a closer look at durable and durable transformer beds made of natural wood. They cost much more than affordable laminated chipboard products, but their performance more than justifies the price. Most often, manufacturers use solid oak, alder, beech, hevea, pine and birch.

Any kind of wood requires special care. In order for the furniture to serve as long as possible, does not lose its attractive appearance and does not lose its bright color, it must be treated with special protective compounds.

Iron

Leaders in durability and strength are iron bed tables. They do not require special care and do not lose their presentation even after many years. Such furniture is less common than wood or MDF products. This is because any metal is cold and not very pleasant to touch.

In addition, a multifunctional transforming bed with a table made from such raw materials will weigh a lot, and it will be problematic to move it from one place to another.

A heavy iron bed-table can leave ugly marks and dents on the flooring that are unlikely to get rid of.

Today on the furniture market there is a huge number of transforming beds in a variety of colors. In addition to traditional models with a natural pattern and a shade of natural wood, there are brighter and more original options. For example, it could be a yellow solar model or a daring red design. Products in classic white and brown colors are universal. They fit easily into any setting.

Dimensions (edit)

Currently, not all furniture factories produce comfortable and practical table-beds. However, this does not in any way affect the wide dimensional grid of such furniture. You can choose the right option for any layout and any footage:

  • The most common are models with a bed width of 75, 80, 90 and 100 cm.
  • The length can be 190-200 cm.
  • Most often, countertops are 65x190 cm long and wide.

Transformation mechanism

Comfortable bed-tables are equipped with the following mechanisms to ensure their full-fledged operation:

  • Spring loaded. Such designs are easy to use and inexpensive, but quickly fail, as the springs in them stretch and lose elasticity. These parts cannot be repaired, therefore, in case of heavy wear, they will have to be replaced.
  • Gas lift (or gas shock absorbers). This mechanism is more reliable and practical. It works very smoothly and quietly. Gas shock absorbers are designed for heavy loads.
  • With counterweight. Some of the simplest, cheapest and most durable are convertible counterbalanced mechanisms. But for such models, additional space is required for the traction element inside the furniture.
  • Roll-out. Such mechanisms are very common today. They are installed in structures with an extra bed that extends horizontally.

How to choose?

It is necessary to choose a comfortable table-bed in accordance with the following parameters:

  • The size. First, measure the room in which you will place the furniture. It should fit perfectly into the existing layout without interfering with the passage.
  • Materials. If you are looking for an environmentally friendly and most beautiful option, then a natural wood construction is for you. But such things are expensive. If the budget does not allow, you can take a closer look at cheap MDF or chipboard transformers. If you are looking for a high-strength model, then there is simply no equal to iron products.
  • Mechanisms. The most reliable and durable are mechanisms with counterweights, but using them, you have to make an effort. Gas elevators are considered more comfortable and modern, but furniture with such systems is quite expensive today. The spring mechanism remains. It is the most unreliable and short-lived, but it is inexpensive.
  • Design. Do not forget that the table-bed should ideally match the interior of the room both in style and in color.

Reviews

Customers who once bought such useful and practical furniture were pleased with it. They note the savings in free space, which was achieved by placing a table-bed in the room. Parents also noticed that with such furniture, their children became more collected, because they themselves have to organize their sleeping bed and work area in accordance with personal preferences.

According to buyers, such multifunctional transformers can replace an entire room.

For example, some people have options with folding sofas and shelves in the living room. The result is a completely organic interior. And with the onset of night, you can expand the sleeping place and organize a sleeping area in the room. Consumers are upset only by the high cost of such models, especially if they are made of natural and environmentally friendly materials. In addition, not many manufacturers produce such models today.
