The different elements of the wall bed

There are two main parts to the wall bed . On one side, there is the wooden frame of the wardrobe which integrates a system with jacks to unfold and fold the bed. Then, the wall bed has bedding. The latter includes a slatted base and a mattress , which is generally strapped. Under the bed, the retractable foot deploys automatically when you open or close your bed.

How the wall bed works

The wall bed system is very simple. When the cabinet is closed, you only have to gently pull the handle attached to the wooden front for the bed to descend smoothly, thanks to the shock absorbers. During the descent, the legs will also unfold. The bed can be perpendicular to the wall: this is the case if it is a vertically opening wall bed. When the bed unfolds parallel to the wall, it is a horizontally opening wall bed. The next morning, you only have to perform the reverse action to put away your bed. The system is completely secure and can therefore be suitable for both an adult and a child.
