But we will also mention them.

By the mechanism of transformation

The most convenient mechanism for children is a roll-out mechanism.Such furniture is installed even in kindergartens, and the child can roll out his sleeping place by himself. In such models, berths are often arranged in a herringbone pattern.

Control mechanism — The control mechanism is created on the basis of gas shock absorbers.

The mechanism "compartment" allows you to lift one berth up, and the second is removed from the box. A special ladder is installed as an additional attachment.

Hachlift pluses — The gas lift has both pros and cons.

The spring mechanism, as well as the gaslight, are transformation mechanisms that allow a vertically installed berth to be installed horizontally. A topical mechanism for a bed with a transformation into a table, as well as for a model in which a berth is placed in a wardrobe.

Special mechanism — A special mechanism allows you to quickly and easily bring the product into a form suitable for use during sleep.

The counterbalanced transforming mechanism is a great option if you have a large enough stock so it is difficult to fold and unfold. Counterweights make it easy!

To size

Transformers can be both a bed for adults and cots for the smallest! For example, many young parents purchase cribs with changing tables.

The size of such a bed should correspond to the area of the bedroom.

Children's cots have a berth length of up to 120 cm, for teenagers - up to 180 cm, for adults - 190 cm or more.

By design

There are several types of bed:

Wardrobe - the berth rises and hides behind the cabinet doors;
Table - a berth is laid out on the table surface or is formed by turning the table working surface;
Sofa - converts into a bunk bed.

This type of furniture may or may not have a niche for storing bedding. This is an important design feature.

By material of manufacture

The most important question that people should be interested in is what material the frame parts are made of. The most common materials are:

Pressed lumber;
Natural wood;
Metal.

Pressed lumber is not particularly durable, so they are most often used for the production of children's furniture.

metal baby bed — The metal frame is the most durable, although it does not always fit into the aesthetics of the child's room.

However, keep in mind that when buying furniture, you cannot always be sure of the quality of pressed lumber. And it is better for children to buy furniture that meets all environmental standards.

Wooden beds are environmentally friendly.

Natural wood wins significantly in this regard. This material is environmentally friendly, looks impressive and has high strength, if you choose the right type of wood. The best choice would be:

Pine;
Beech;
Oak;
Alder.

Metal is considered the most reliable material, but is it? If the tubes are made in China, their strength could be disappointing.

But if high quality metal was used to create the frame of the transformer, then this material will please with its durability. But finding a folding bed on a metal frame, which will look spectacular both when folded and unfolded, is a difficult task.

What you need to pay attention to when choosing

When unfolding, any transformer needs additional space. If you choose folding furniture in a store, it will be easier for you to assess what the space of the room should be, so that in any position the bed does not interfere with people, does not block the door to the room, does not block the passage, and so on.

The bed should be the focal point in the room, but not take up the entire space.

The second important point is what is included in the bed kit? For example, it may turn out that the mattress and drawers for linen are present in the photo in the catalog of the online store, but they are not included in the kit and you need to pay for these items separately.

convertible sofa in the living room — In the living room, the transformer can perform several functions at once.

Be sure to ask how much the bed is designed for. If you are interested in a two-story model, for example, a children's transformer bunk bed with a table, the issue of durability becomes more important than when buying a standard crib.

placing a sofa-transformer — The convertible sofa is suitable for placement in any room.
