Varieties of bed bases

In the search for the necessary model or different models of beds, the main emphasis should be on who they will be intended for and how they will fit into the general interior of the bedroom.

Spouses, of course, always look at the ikea double beds. Here, as a rule, in addition to appearance, the main interest is caused by the dimensions of the product and the state of assembly.

A wide bed should be stable and reliable, so special attention is paid to the type of base - a special support (frame) on which the mattress is located. The same can be said about ikea single beds.

The base may be different, depending on the material used.

Rack and pinion. A metal or wooden frame, to which glued straight or bent rails located at equal intervals from each other. This type is not very appreciated, despite the affordable price, as it does not provide a long service life.

Metal grid. This type of foundation is considered the best. It features a long service life, good orthopedic parameters and a very reasonable price.

In addition to the above types of supports, a flat and orthopedic base is known. The first, as well as the rack, is classified as less popular.

Mainly because it is formed from solid plywood sheets, boards or chipboard. Naturally, this significantly reduces comfort and adversely affects the operating time. Unlike orthopedic, which is made in such a way as to reduce the load on the spine and create a comfortable sleep.

Original types of beds

Perhaps the most original model is a convertible bed. It can be extended, folded, retracted into the wall and take other positions. This type of model is undoubtedly suitable for lovers of the modern interior.

Moreover, such a design attracts not only with its configuration and capabilities, but, most importantly, with the fact that it allows you to use the bed in small rooms. This is considered one of its main advantages, along with the fact that such a bed can become the main central element in the interior of the room.

The same advantage can be attributed to such a model as an ikea bed chair. Quite often, such designs are acquired in small apartments, where the interior space is very much appreciated.

Soft wide armchairs, giving a feeling of coziness and comfort and at the same time not creating cramped spaces, are in no less demand than beds.

Pros

Typically, such beds are made of steel, which is not only natural, but also environmentally friendly raw materials, from which there are no harmful substances. Items made from it are distinguished not only by their special durability and long service life, but also by their aesthetic appearance - due to artistic forging, which gives the products bizarre shapes.

The surface is coated with a special powder dye, which is applied to epoxy resin, which gives additional resistance to various damage and temperature changes. Caring for frames is very simple: just wipe it from dust with a damp cloth.

Another plus is the ease of assembly of metal beds from Ikea. After carefully reading the instructions, you can independently assemble all the details without using particularly complex tools. Frames are made of hollow pipes, so they are lightweight and very easy to transport and rearrange.

The lineup is characterized by sophisticated simplicity and a strict color scheme: white, black, different shades of gray. This gives a unique opportunity to combine such products with any decor elements of women's, men's and children's bedrooms.

If the color gets bored over time, you can change it yourself using modern paints for metal.

Design

Ikea specialists divide the design of the bed into three elements, which are usually sold separately: the frame itself, consisting of a frame, legs of the support and the head (back), the slatted bottom, which contributes to the best ventilation of the mattress, and the mattress itself, preferably orthopedic (with fillers) different types of stiffness). Sometimes these items come as standard.

Comfort and convenience

The sizes of berths from this manufacturer noticeably differ from European standards, they more closely correspond to the preferences of Russians about comfort. If products with a width of less than 90 cm are considered standard single models, then in Ikea there are only a few such samples: special couches and some appliances.

Ikea professionals rightly believe that a place to sleep should be comfortable. Therefore, all such beds are wider than 90 cm.

Delivery

Options for children

  • Swarta - is made in two versions: a bunk bed (for a family with two or even three children, since this sample is supplemented with a third place if necessary - using a pull-out mechanism) and an attic bed (there is so much free space under this design that you can place a desk , chair, area for games).

  • Tuffing - It is a two-tier model in dark gray design, which (having a height of only 130 cm) will come in handy in a low room. Safety is provided by the upper sides in the form of a grid and a reliable staircase in the center.
  • Firesdal - universal couch, great for both children and adults. Its peculiarity is in a special mechanism, which allows you to use this option as a bed in the unfolded form and as a sofa in the assembled state.

Design Tips

Due to great variability, the proposed reliable metal models will be in good harmony with the classic version of the room, and with a bedroom in retro or country style.
