Types and designs

A table-bed transformer is most relevant for children's rooms or combining a children's area with one of the common areas. This piece of furniture necessarily includes a work surface and a berth, which, if necessary, are "activated" as follows:

lifting the table and turning the bed from vertical to horizontal,
at the same time turning the bed and the tabletop, in which there is no need to remove objects from the work surface,
horizontal bed departure from a niche under the table,
a change in the position and purpose of the modular components.

Ease of transformation.

The built-in bed will allow you to enjoy the comfort of a full bed and hide it from strangers.

For newborns, a transformer bed was developed, including a base on which a bed and a chest of drawers with a changing table are placed. Over time, the base of the model is transformed into a full-fledged berth, and the bed turns into a separate table.

There is no need to remove objects from the table (the countertop always remains in a horizontal position).

If the apartment does not have a separate children's room, models that are assembled on a sofa will become an ideal option, and during transformation they will turn into a sleeping place with a table or a bunk bed.

Such a model is capable of changing, turning from one piece of interior to another, depending on what you need at the moment.

The transformer bed table for a student in a house with limited space may additionally include a spacious wardrobe, chest of drawers, shelves and bedside tables that will create a single composition. There is also a transformer bed in which there is an additional fixed or mobile berth for a second child.

Many, probably, have already heard about such things as wardrobes, beds, but few have heard about bed-tables, which have much more functional features.

Materials of manufacture

The life of the model, ease of use and its appearance depend on what materials and components are used to make the transformer bed.

Saving living space is very important in apartments where this space is not very much.

For the manufacture of the carcass, the following materials and raw materials are used.

Tree (oak, alder, pine, beech). Expensive, high-quality and natural material. The bed made of wood is quite heavy, so it is very rarely used in children's rooms.
MDF or particleboard. Affordable and lightweight material with almost all the functions of wood.
Metal bed. Pretty strong, but does not have an attractive appearance, so it can be modified with other materials.

First of all, it is worth saying that today there are several types of universal furniture.

In order for the bed-table-transformer for teenagers to fully perform their functions, special mechanisms are used:

spring (have a range of up to 20 thousand cycles),
gas lift (90 thousand cycles, increased strength, easy to use),
with a counterweight (requires additional space for the draft part inside the model, able to serve for a very long time),
roll-out (they are equipped with an extra bed for horizontal extension).

Furniture is selected based on the functional requirements for a particular room.

The design options for such furniture can be different, it all depends on your personal requirements and how you want to equip the room.

Lifting or folding:

When unfolding, the work surface rises or is placed under the bed.

Distinctive feature loft beds - the location of the sleeping area on the second tier. Conventionally, it is possible to divide such structures by the type of stairs: folding, attached and rigidly fixed. When equipping children's rooms, the first two types are best not to be used to avoid injury.

Very often, such headsets are combined with a cabinet or storage drawers. This allows ergonomic use of the room. Keeping things in order will not be difficult even for kids.

Wardrobe-bed-table is a more complex and compact modification of furniture. The design involves a special mechanism by which the bed is hidden in a closet.

There are different types of wardrobe-beds: retractable, with vertical tilt, built-in, with rotation with the help of wheels. The list can be increased depending on the mechanism of transformation.

Please note that the hinged bed housing must be attached to the load-bearing wall. Plasterboard partitions are not used due to fragility.

Types of lifting mechanisms:

Spring loaded. The movement is provided by carbon wire springs. Over time, they may begin to creak.
Gas. A gas shock absorber is used. The movement is provided by special pistons - gas lifts, due to gas under pressure. Their dignity is noiselessness. For wear resistance, this option is considered the best.
Retractable. The bed is located behind or inside the cabinet. To access the bedroom, the bookshelves are rolled to the side. This option is appropriate in the bedroom-study.
Roll-out. The bed rolls out from under the cabinet.

In domestic stores, a double wardrobe bed is more common. In the assembled version, the bed is masked by shelves, a mirror or an imitation of a library.

Dimensions

Each item in the interior has its own purpose and should be organized taking into account the individual characteristics of the user. The size of the bed should take into account physique, age and height and have a margin of 10-15 centimeters. For adolescents and adults, the parameters are almost the same. The width of the sleeping area can vary from 75 to 100 centimeters. The standard length is 190, in rare cases, when growing above 180 centimeters, the length is increased to two meters.

To ensure safety, bumpers with a width of 20-60 centimeters are installed. This is especially important for the second tier.

The dimensions of the table in such furniture are limited by the size of the sleep zone. According to the recommendations of experts, for comfortable work, the length of the countertop should be at least 120 centimeters. An important characteristic is the height of the work surface. It is characterized by human growth:

From 137 to 144 - 59 cm
From 145 to 153 - 6 cm,
From 154 to 161 - 6 cm,
From 162 to 170 - about 71 cm,
Height above 170 cm implies a distance from the floor to the countertop 74 cm.

Materials

Appearance, service life and ease of use depend on materials and components.

For the manufacture of the framework framework, the following materials are used:

Wood is an environmentally friendly raw material. It is characterized by excellent quality. Furniture from it is more expensive.
Chipboard is a lightweight and cost-effective material. It wins a variety of color modifications.
MDF - it has all the basic characteristics of a tree, it is one of the available options in the price line. It is eco-friendly and safe for humans.

To protect against dirt and scratches, wooden parts are treated with a durable varnish. For the same purpose, products made of chipboard and MDF are coated with a laminate.

Accessories

They try to choose spare parts for transformation mechanisms taking into account the characteristics of the room, the functions that the furniture will fulfill and the customer's wishes. When choosing, it is important to pay attention to wear resistance, lack of noise during movement, corrosion coating of metal parts, strength. Frames made of steel should not have flaws and be fully welded. Lifting mechanisms must be made of hardened steel, the use of plastic is unacceptable. When buying folding bed models, you must consider the weight of the person.

Mattress

It is better to choose a mattress without springs. The model with coconut flakes is heavy and will create an additional load on the details of the mechanism. Good orthopedic properties has a latex mattress. It can keep its shape for a long time and is very light. It is important to consider that the mattress should be able to curl or fold when the berth is full.

Decor

If necessary, backlighting, plasma panels, accessories-models are added. Options are selected depending on the features of the interior. Naturally, additional options increase the price.

If the model is intended for use in a children's room, then you need to take into account the ability of the child to independently assemble and disassemble the device. All lifting gear must be equipped with reliable latches. When folding the parts, the fixation is registered by clicking.

What is a folding table bed

The 3-in-1 transformer table bed is a structure consisting of three pieces of furniture at once: a cabinet, a folding desk and a bed.

When folded, this is a table mounted on a stationary cabinet, and when unfolded - a comfortable berth.

This design allows you to organize a fully-equipped sleeping place, a convenient working area and a small storage system in one area.

Such furniture is used not only in cramped rooms, it may well become the central part of the interior of a spacious room, made in a futuristic design or minimalist style.

How a table is arranged in a transformable wardrobe bed 3 in 1

The table in such furniture can be of various sizes, but its length is always limited by the width of the berth. For comfortable work, it is recommended that the table length is at least 120 cm.

The height of the desktop is a very important characteristic, because the correct position of the human body during work at the table, and therefore the health of the musculoskeletal system and spine, depends on its correct choice.

To check if the table matches your height is simple - put your hands on it, bent at the elbows. If they are at the level of the solar plexus, then this furniture suits you.

The required height of the table depends on the height of the person:

Human height, see	The height of the back cover of the table above the floor, see
113-127	52
128-142	58
143-157	64
158-172	70
173	76

There are two options for transforming a table-bed:

the table rises. To lay out the table, you need to pull the bed from its side - it will rise up and fill the space of the cabinet niche, and the table will rise from its back side. If necessary, lay out the bed, the bed goes down, and the countertop with everything on it is at floor level,
the table goes down. In this case, if you need to make the bed, then the table is lifted and the berth is deployed directly under it. In the afternoon, the table lowers.

Parameters and features of beds transforming into a table bed

Modern manufacturers of transformable furniture offer folding table beds of various sizes:

one and a half:
120x190 cm. - the standard size of an adult table bed, can be used for teens,
120x200 cm. - An elongated option for people of high stature,
150x70 and 160x70 cm. - shortened children's beds.
double:
with a width of 160 to 220 cm.

Due to the fact that the length of the table directly depends on the width of the bed, there are no single models with vertical folding beds with a table built into the closet. The only exception is structures where an additional pull-out bedside table is used.

The base of the bed is the support on which the mattress rests. It should be strong enough.

In the beds transforming into a table, two types of bases are used:

lamellar: represents a lattice from wooden, metal or plastic levels in the form of horizontal strips. This design not only acts as an ideal base for the mattress, but also provides unhindered air circulation in it, preventing the multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms.
solid: it is a flat base made of wood, chipboard or plastic. It is able to withstand severe loads, but can not provide proper ventilation of the mattress.

The heavier the mattress you plan to use, the stronger the foundation should be. If this is a lamella structure, then it should have as many strips as possible.

Types of mechanisms for transforming folding wardrobe beds

The mechanism for lifting the wardrobe-bed with a table is of two types:

In the spring mechanism, the movement of furniture is ensured by coil springs from a strong, but at the same time elastic carbon wire. This is a reliable mechanism: its work is designed for at least twenty thousand cycles of bed transformation. The only drawback of this design is that over time, the springs begin to creak.

When using a gas shock absorber, a smooth change in furniture positions is provided by special pistons in which gas is under pressure - gas lifts. The main advantage of this mechanism is the absence of noise during the transformation of furniture. The gas mechanism is not inferior to the spring mechanism in terms of wear resistance.

Many buyers are afraid that the transforming bed may “collapse” at any moment and is a danger to human health and life. This is a wrong opinion, because if the springs are serviceable, spontaneous transformation of the furniture is not possible.

Depending on the orientation in space, a folding bed can be:

vertical: the most rational option for placing a berth in a limited area. In this case, the bed can be of any size - one and a half, double or even non-standard,
horizontal: allows you to fit in one closet and a berth and a spacious table for work.

When buying a wardrobe-bed with a table, be sure to try to fold and unfold the structure. If you are experiencing serious difficulties when handling the mechanism, or during the transformation loud extraneous sounds appear - rattle, creak, then you should refuse to buy such furniture and opt for another model.

Beds with a gas lifting mechanism must be provided with a latch. While the structure is in the folded position, the latch must be closed. Otherwise, the bed may simply fall out.

How to transform a table bed

Many buyers are concerned about the question: how to use the design? To lay down and lay out the bed, you need to make minimal effort.

To transform the table-up mechanism, it is necessary:

spread out the table: pull the bed by the side, lift it up - the countertop will rise,
to lay down the table: first press down on the bed and making sure that it moves, carefully lower the bed down.

To transform the table-down mechanism, it is necessary:

spread out the table: lower the countertop down to a characteristic click, and push the bed into a niche, lifting it up,
to fold the table: raise the countertop and lock it until it clicks, and then lay out the berth under it.

Thus, a folding bed with a table will allow you to successfully solve three problems at once: storing things, having a convenient working area and organizing a comfortable sleeping place. Such a design will not only save space in the room, but will also become a “highlight” of your interior, giving it originality and futurism.

The nuances of choice

Given the constant mechanical stress, transformable furniture must be reliable. Mandatory is the use of only high-quality components.

The table bed is quite comfortable and compact, does not take up a lot of living space, but is able to provide ample opportunities.

A transformer bed with a table for newborns consists of modular parts; its manufacture does not use complex mechanisms. When choosing such a model, the main criteria will be the material and color.

If you often take work to home, and you just need to have your own workplace with a table, but at the same time, because of the limited space, there is definitely nowhere to put it, it is worth paying attention to this option.

When choosing a bed-table transformer for teenagers, in addition to the main characteristics, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

environmental friendliness of frame and front details,
reliable connection of static elements with metal corners,
the steel frame should be fully welded, without visible flaws,
lifting gears must be of hardened steel to prevent
corrosion, with minimal use of plastic components.

Bed tables are indispensable furniture that will transform your apartment.

Given that this furniture is intended for a child, a change in the position of the table-bed should take place without effort, with reliable fixation at the end point. It is better to give preference to a model from MDF for a children's room, in addition, such a bed-table has a huge selection of facade finishes and colors. The cabinet and bedside tables should be equipped with closers.

This bed is both a bed and a table.

The children's bed-table transformer will constantly be subject to pollution, so the wooden parts must be treated with resistant varnish, and furniture made of MDF and particleboard is covered with a laminate, not veneer.

For this reason, before purchasing, it is necessary to accurately measure the free space of the child’s room or the space in the living room allocated for this piece of furniture, the possible maximum size of the finished structure, including a closet, pencil case, additional shelves.

Another distinguishing feature of such a bed was the ability to use the same design as a full-fledged desk.

It's amazing how quickly your child gets used to such a table-bed.

Since the bed should provide a good rest, the bed should be equipped with slats, special attention should be paid to the choice of a mattress.
