Lifting beds with a sofa are one of the most popular options for transforming furniture. This design is also sometimes called a closet-bed , because in assembled form the bed imitates the closed doors of the cabinet, in front of which a comfortable sofa is installed.
Mechanism of a raised bed with a sofa
The convertible bed with a sofa consists of two main parts: a sofa with a removable or folding backrest and a bed that adjoins the sofa with its back, thus occupying a vertical position. When the back is decomposed, the sofa is removed, and its seat serves as a support, on which the base of the bed falls, taking a horizontal view.
If we talk about the mechanisms of addition and decomposition used in this design, one can usually come across one of two main types: using shock absorbers or a counterweight system. The first option is safer, since such a bed can not be slammed by itself, certain efforts must be made to add / decompose it. A sofa bed with such a system is also capable of fixing in any position from fully folded to raised to the maximum level. The counterweight system is more simply constructive, but if you sit on a bed of this kind too close to its base, it is possible to create an imbalance and the bed can try to collapse. There is the same thing as when you try to sit on an empty bench not fixed to the ground, not between the supports, but from one of the free ends.
Advantages of a bed with a sofa
Folding lift beds with a sofa are in great demand because of its convenience and magnificent appearance. On the one hand, by purchasing one such construction, you receive two pieces of furniture necessary in an apartment at once. This bed, unlike the sleeping place of a folding sofa, has no joints, so it will not adversely affect the health of the back. In addition, it will not need to be completely restructured every day, as it is required to do with other variants of sofa beds. In addition, such furniture has a very interesting appearance, which can decorate any interior.
