Beds That Go Into the Wall

Comfort

• Everyone looks forward to getting a good night's sleep on a comfortable bed. A wall bed provides the equivalent comfort of a traditional freestanding bed. Most wall beds accommodate innerspring and memory foam mattresses. Selecting a mattress with soft comfortable padding on the top is one feature likely to enhance a restful night. Personal preference dictates how firm or soft a mattress should be.

Mechanisms

• The mechanisms enabling the wall bed to fold down are operated by either springs or pistons. A spring mechanism is comprised of a counter-balanced system whose function is to enhance the ease of lifting and lowering the bed. The piston mechanism uses gas or air pressure to provide support in lifting or lowering the bed unit. Unlike the spring system, the piston system does not require adjustments and comes equipped with a feature that locks the bed safely within its cabinet when folded up.

Uses

• Some hotels use wall beds to turn one room into two. A hotel room with a wall bed can be utilized as a conference room during the day and a bedroom at night. Teenagers will love the space their bedroom provides for studying or entertaining friends with the use of a wall bed. A child's room utilizing a wall bed can be a playroom during the day and a bedroom for sleeping at night.
