Basically, bed-table models are made for children and adolescents.

It is necessary to carefully choose a suitable model so that it is easy to use, first of all, for the child himself. It is desirable that he himself could cope with its management without the help of his parents. Fortunately, the lightweight design allows it.

Important! The bed frame must be fixed to the surface of the load-bearing wall. Plasterboard partitions are too weak and cannot withstand the load of an entire folding structure.

The design and device of the bed-table

In manufacturing, the described piece of furniture is quite complicated, but in use it is as simple as possible. Any surface is "activated" in one of several ways:

  1. The table rises and the bed unfolds to a horizontal position.
  2. The table top and sleeping area unfold at the same time.
  3. The bed slides out from under the countertop strictly horizontally.
  4. By completely changing the arrangement of structural parts.

The lifting mechanisms are also completely different:

  1. The movement takes place by means of a wire spring.
  2. The use of a gas shock absorber - the movement takes place with the help of gas under pressure. Everything happens completely silently and serves for a long time.
  3. Retractable and withdrawable options.

Lifting mechanisms may vary.

Any of the described designs has its fans, because it has its own pros and cons. Models should be selected depending on the age of the child - he is a schoolboy or a teenager, so that he can cope with the layout on his own.

Dimensions and features of the bed

For the convenience and durable use of furniture, it is necessary that it is as suitable as possible for the physique of the person who will use it. The size of the bed must be matched to the height and physique, as well as the age. Add about 20 cm to this figure.

Adults and adolescents need approximately the same parameters of a sleeping place, but for younger children, you need to select parameters, but take into account the supply for several years in advance. The most optimal width for one person is 1 meter. The length, which is standard, is 1.9 m. But if a person is more than 1.8 m tall, then the size of the bed must also be increased.

Important! If the bed is bunk, then it must have bumpers. Their optimal width is 30-60 cm.

The size of the table top usually coincides with the parameters of the berth. To make it as convenient as possible, the tabletop should have a length of at least 1.2 m. The height of the table also depends on the height of the person who will use it. It is necessary to look at special tables in which there is information about the correspondence of growth to the height of the working area.

Manufacturing material

In order for the furniture to serve as long as possible, you need to pay special attention to the materials from which it is made. Naturally, the better the material, the more expensive the item will be. But it will definitely pay off over many years of service. Most often, the following materials are used for the frame of the bed-table:

  • Natural wood. This is the most popular type, which is environmentally friendly, very attractive in appearance and high quality. The tree does not require special processing, because it itself already looks very beautiful and unusual.
  • Chipboard. This is the first most popular economical option. It looks quite attractive and has many color options. Furniture made of it is lightweight and much cheaper.
  • MDF. This is an environmentally friendly and safe option for humans, and at the same time it has an affordable price for any person.
  • Metal. The metal frame will be especially durable and will last for a long time. Cons - it is not very attractive and makes the structure heavier.

Very often, furniture is made by combining these options. It may contain elements from different materials. Wooden elements are usually varnished to protect them from damage and scratches. And the details covered with varnish look much more attractive.

Types of designs and popular models

To make the child as comfortable as possible, you should think about a transformer model. There are a lot of them, so it is sometimes difficult to choose. You can highlight the following:

  1. With a mechanism that tilts or rises. When the structure unfolds, the table top rises up or can be placed under the bed. Next, the berth is raised, and the table is folded back. This model has some difficulty in folding, so it is more suitable for older children and adults.
  2. Swivel or withdrawable mechanism.There is a simultaneous rotation of the work surface and the bed, so you can not take away from them what was on the surface. There is another type - the sleeping area will move out from under the table. Such a table transformer bed is most suitable for a student at home, because it is easy to use for children of any age.

If the family has several children, then it is very important to organize the space so that there is enough space for everyone and there is still a territory for games. In this case, there are two-tier types, which also have a couple of transformation options:

  1. Two tables transform into two beds.
  2. The sleeping area is performed by a sofa. Then it can be placed in the living room.
  3. There is such an option as a loft bed. This is the name of the furniture when the sleeping area is on the upper floor. The ladder in this case can be folding, attached or rigidly fixed.

As already mentioned, it is undoubtedly important to direct your attention to the type of material of manufacture, as well as to the size and type of transformation of the structure. But besides this, it is important to consider other details:

  • Spare parts for the transformation mechanism. Important criteria are wear resistance, anti-corrosion coating, degree of strength, and it is also important that parts do not create noise when moving. The frames must be free of the slightest damage. The mechanisms responsible for lifting must be made of hardened steel.
  • Mattress. The best options are mattresses without springs. There are options that contain coconut, but they are heavy and will additionally load the structure. Latex mattresses have excellent orthopedic properties. Moreover, they are light and keep their shape for a long time. Since the furniture will constantly fold, this must also be taken into account when choosing a mattress.
  • Features of the decor. A transformer table type children's bed can have a completely different design, so it can be very difficult to make a choice. Very often, the facade is decorated with chipboard, MDF boards, and textile coverings or eco-leather are used as upholstery.
