Swing beds: models and tips for choosing

The furniture world just seems to be conservative and stable for decades. In reality, changes in it occur much more often than it seems. And one of the most pleasant novelties now is the swing bed.

Such designs have a number of advantages, among which are noted:

• beauty;
• external attraction;
• ease of use.

The classic type of hammock, traditionally used for summer cottages, is not comfortable enough. After several hours spent in it, many experience discomfort in the back. But thanks to John Huff's invention, this problem may soon disappear. In addition, such products will appeal to everyone who would like a little but constant rocking. An improvised bed is suitable not only for a night's rest, but also for short breaks during the day.

You can use a swing bed for summer outdoor recreation, including on the seashore. And you can put it for permanent use in small apartments and houses. The suspended model, supported by chains, is ideal for this purpose. It will help conserve space during the day while maintaining maximum comfort at night. Important: the original Huff design is not officially sold in Russia, but similar products can be purchased.

It is very good to feel in a wicker in the open air Nestrestdeveloped by French designers based on recycled materials. TO

a round bed with a canopy extending upward, manufactured by the company Dedon, which has long won a leading position in the elite wicker furniture segment. But it is not necessary to use such structures outdoors. A swing bed placed on a veranda with a solid overlap can be useful for relaxing after tiring work in the garden. You can place it in a pergola-type gazebo, which is becoming more and more popular, despite its low practicality.

As outdoor and indoor swing beds become more and more in demand, new manufacturers are beginning to master them. And even now it can be quite difficult to understand the offered assortment. The problem will be reliably solved if we take into account the basic recommendations that specialists can give. You can minimize the risk if you use the products of companies proven for a long time, for example, the following:

• Ranger;
• TimeEco;
• Garden4You.

But even in the lines of these manufacturers, not all models are equally useful and practical. Some may not be quite convenient, and worst of all, other people's reviews are unlikely to make the final choice. After all, a lot depends on personal preferences and the conditions where the rocking bed will stand. In any case, a must for outdoor furniture is not just a durable metal body, but also a special coating that reduces the intensity of corrosion. Depending on the idea of ​​the designers, the furniture can be designed for 1 - 4 people.

A useful option in some cases is the layout with the backrest moving back. Then you get a flat, albeit suspended in the air, bed. On garden grounds, a fabric roof is often a very valuable addition. Thanks to her, you can sleep peacefully even during the day, when the sun is frantically flooding everything with its rays.The bench type is good due to its large capacity and the presence of a default mosquito net in the kit.

Spherical options, better known as hanging chairs, always accommodate 1 person. In summer cottages, they are usually hung on tree branches using the chains included in the kit. In addition to the small capacity, the problem is the lack of protection from precipitation. But the reliability of the fastening and the possibility of using it in apartments, in city houses will delight many people.

Products fitted with straight supports may only be placed on level ground. But the curved elements are noticeably more stable, and you can even put a bed resting on them on a lawn covered with grass. Gardening work, even for the tidiest people, is accompanied by the formation of a significant amount of dirt. Therefore, preference should be given to products with removable covers, which are easy to wash and reuse after drying. For individual purposes, models are suitable, the frame of which is made of a pipe with a wall thickness of 1 mm and a total diameter of 3.8 - 4.5 cm.
