Hello dear friends! Choosing furniture in the bedroom, many quite naturally want to buy a bed with a soft headboard and a lifting mechanism.
Let me remind you that earlier we already discussed the issue of lifting mechanisms for beds, therefore I strongly advise you to follow the link and read this material. It will be especially useful for those who plan to assemble such a bed with their own hands.
There are several objective reasons why you should take a model with a soft headboard, as well as give preference to the presence of a lifting mechanism, rather than its absence. I think it makes no sense to talk about them in detail. Better to talk in detail about the nuances of choice themselves.
Furniture hinges with closers: working principle, how to install and adjust
The main attribute rightly considered beds. Such models as Nicole or Liberty are known to many. Demand for them is high, and the reviews are mostly positive. The presence of a lifting mechanism provides a number of additional advantages. Similar systems can be used on furniture of any size, including the most popular and running dimensions of 160x200 cm, 140x200 cm and 1800x2000 mm.
The latter option, by the way, can be considered the best choice for a bedroom in which two adults live. This will provide enough space for each of them.
The used lifting mechanisms, which can be equipped with a double bed, are divided into manual, spring and gas (gas lifts).
The main advantage of such models of beds with a high and relatively low base is a significant saving in available space in the room. In fact, this is a bed and a horizontal chest of drawers in one bottle.
The lifting mechanism is a device with which you can lift and fix the base of the bed, and use the space under it to store things, some accessories, etc. The elements of the lift are fixed on the sides of the frame and to the base itself under the mattress. An alternative to such models are beds with drawers. Although they have much less storage space.
If you have a small apartment, buying a bed with a lift and drawers under the base will be absolutely the right decision.

- Always look at the quality of the lifting devices used. The most reliable and practical are gas shock absorbers. They are able to withstand loads of up to 100 kg,
- Study the characteristics of the specific lift used, before buying, check its performance and proper installation,
- Check if there are any similar mechanisms on sale to replace them later.
- Make sure the quality and strength of the elements to which the lift will be attached,
- Give preference to accessories of trusted manufacturers.
No less simple will be the question of choosing a soft headboard.
What you need to know about the soft headboard
To begin with, you must decide for yourself whether you need a bed with or without a headboard. Although beds without a headboard are now in trend, not everyone understands the charms of this type of furniture. We examined it separately in our material, so be sure to read it.
If you need a back, then you need to decide whether it will be soft or hard.
The backrest, acting as the headboard made of soft materials, is rightly considered the most comfortable. Yes, you can take original rack or forged products. Outwardly, they can look excellent, but in terms of convenience they are significantly inferior to the first option. If you still focus on the hard back, then you will need to additionally make or buy soft pillows. Here already decide for yourself how you feel better and more convenient.
Sometimes people make hasty decisions by not studying all aspects of the furniture they purchase. Of course, how to resist, if a profitable sale is carried out or a purely outwardly bed plunges you into a joyful shock.
Modern beds can have several options for using a headboard.
Some of them are as practical and comfortable as possible. Others are attracted by their originality and unusual appearance.
What did you choose? Leave your feedback and share your personal opinion.
As for the backs, then such options are possible:
- One back, it's the headboard. If you are a tall person, you will not be disturbed by normal rest and sleep. Single beds are the most common
- Two backs. Externally, the furniture looks like a completed design. But some users will not be able to properly extend their legs. They will rest against the second back,
- Without backs. In terms of comfort, it loses to all the previous option. You can lean against the wall and replace the missing element with something.
Draw conclusions and make your decision.
If you have your own views on this matter and you do not agree with the voiced opinion, write in the comments. We will definitely discuss it.
Materials used
Since we are talking about a soft headboard, here are a few basic options.
First, pay attention to the filler that is hidden behind the headboard upholstery material. The usual cheap foam rubber is not the best option, because it quickly loses shape, which negatively affects the appearance of the bed itself. It is better to give preference to a synthetic winterizer or holofiber. Plus, packing density is important. The higher it is, the less attention will have to be paid to the filling material itself.
Headboards can be sheathed with materials such as velor, jacquard, silk, etc. But they all fit confidently into one category. There are three of them:
- Fabric products. Pleasant to the touch and outwardly cute, usually inexpensive. But the problem is the difficulty of leaving. They collect dust inside themselves and quickly become polluted. The range is extensive, which gives freedom of choice of colors and materials,
- Leather. Natural, looks great, easy to care for, comfortable. Cool in summer, warm in winter. But it is frankly expensive. It is used on the most expensive bed models,
- Leatherette or eco leather. Artificial leather with the same benefits as genuine. But even easier to care for, durable, varied in performance, affordable.
From this we can draw a logical conclusion that eco-leather will be the optimal material for the soft headboard.
But the choice is yours anyway.
