Features of floating beds and the secrets of their choice

The floating bed is a stylish novelty that has won the hearts of millions of apartment owners. Due to the fact that the designers used non-standard solutions, it was possible to visually hide the base and legs of the bed. Floating models differ significantly from standard options in their appearance, which makes the interior more stylish and original.

Despite their design features, floating beds are stable and reliable. This effect was achieved thanks to a strong backrest, which is attached to the wall as tightly as possible.

In addition, there is a central base, which also provides a high degree of bed security. Thanks to this element, there is no need to be afraid of breakage, since this base is able to cope with the weight of 3 and 4 people who are sitting on the corner.

Let's note the distinctive advantages of flying beds.

• Attractive and original appearance, which contributes to a complete change in the interior. The bedroom, in which these beds are located, will be able to boast of originality and emphasize the owners' sense of taste.
• Strong framethat does not loosen over time, which is usually the case with standard models.
• Easy to tidy up... Due to the fact that there are no obstacles here, the owners of the bedroom will be able to clean with a mop.
• A unique stylistic look that will surprise all guests... A floating bed with lighting will be able to delight children, and will also become the central element of any room, regardless of its stylistic orientation.

The main disadvantage of such models is that such beds are rather large, which makes it impossible to use them in a small bedroom. Such beds will be the ideal choice for spacious rooms that boast a lot of free space.

Despite the fact that floating beds have appeared relatively recently, many types are already presented on the market, which differ in their external filling, design features and cost.

These models are the most popular and affordable. The peculiarity of the bed with inconspicuous legs is that there is only one support, located in the center of the base. In addition, these beds are distinguished by the presence of decorative lighting, which is designed to divert attention from the leg and thus provide a floating effect. On some beds, beams radiate from the central support, which contribute to an even distribution of mass. It is thanks to this that the bed is able to cope with enormous loads.

The main advantage of a floating bed on a metal frame is in the reliability of fastening. Such models are able to cope with any load, which has a positive effect on their durability. In the process of choosing such beds, you must make sure that the metal frame is additionally treated with powder paint, which is designed to provide reliable protection against corrosion.In most cases, the metal frame is covered with a wooden body, which gives the product a more elegant appearance.

Such models fastened to the ceiling with strong and reliable ropes. It should be noted that the installation of this bed requires compliance with strict security measures. When it comes to a children's room, it is best to use steel cables, which are able to guarantee the safety and stability of the bed, even in case of increased stress. The fact is that children often jump on the bed, which can cause rope ropes to break, so it is best to use steel counterparts.

For the first time such beds appeared in the Netherlands and immediately became popular all over the world. This idea is based on the principle of magnetic levitation, which allows you to create the effect of the bed floating in the air. The bottom line is that powerful magnets are installed in the bed frame and in the floor, which ensure soaring in the air. In addition, additional pipes are used here to ensure the stability and stability of the bed. This combination makes it possible for the product to cope with a weight of up to 600 kg. The only limitation applies to people with pacemakers, as the magnetic field can cause some interference.

You can also find other models on the market that differ in a lifting mechanism, a carriage turnbuckle or a soft headboard. The choice of a particular model depends on the personal preferences of the owners and the layout of the premises itself.

The materials used in the production of floating beds are extremely important, since the ability of the product to cope with loads, its durability and reliability depend on them. Various types of wood are usually used in the production of beds.

• Pine... The peculiarity of this tree is that it is easy to process, which greatly simplifies the process of creating a bed. Pine elements can be seen in the frame, legs or base under the mattress. Ease of processing, of course, has a positive effect on the final cost of the product.

• Spruce... It is considered one of the least durable materials, so it can crack under increased loads. It is usually used for the manufacture of elements that do not experience an increase in stress during the operation of a floating bed.

• Oak... One of the most durable and reliable materials, it is considered the ideal solution for the manufacture of decorative parts.

• Beech... It is also used in the production of decorative elements and is characterized by flexibility in processing.

• Red tree, which is considered one of the most expensive materials and is usually used only for decorative needs.

• Larch, which is a strong and reliable material that almost does not rot and retains its attractive appearance even after many years. From this material, in most cases, the supports and frames of the floating bed are created.

In order to save budget and create cheaper models, chipboard can be used for the manufacture of external parts of the berth. In addition, manufacturers often abandon wooden materials in the production of a frame and prefer other analogues.

There are many forms of flying beds on the market today. The choice of a particular form depends on the personal ideas of the person and the features of the layout of the room. If the size of the room allows, then you can install a round bed there that floats in the air. Such models look quite interesting and stylish, they also boast a large berth.Thanks to its unique design features, the round bed can be installed not only against the wall, but even in the corner of the room. In this case, a special corner structure is placed at the back of the headboard, which allows you to successfully fit the furniture.

In order for the floating bed to fully cope with its duties and be able to please the owner, it is necessary to pay close attention to the specifics of the choice. First of all, you should ask the manufacturer for information. It is necessary to make sure that the company has a proven technology for the production and testing of products. This is important, taking into account the design and technological features of the floating bed, because the durability and reliability of the product depend on the quality of the connection of the frame parts.

When choosing the optimal model, it is imperative to pay close attention to the stylistic design. It should fully coincide with the general concept of the room and not get out of it.

There are other points to consider when choosing.

• The size... Dimensions are determined depending on how many people will lie on the bed. On the market, you can find single and double floating specimens, so in the selection process, it is worth considering the individual needs for comfort and parameters of people.
• Frame... It is on this element that the reliability of the beds and the ability to cope with increased loads depend. It is best to choose products with a frame made of natural wood or metal.

• Base... The base can be in the form of a metal mesh or plastic slats. The latter option is more preferable, since it can guarantee a high level of comfort and boast of its orthopedic effect.
• Mattress, the size of which should fully suit the dimensions of the bed. If the width or length does not match, then this will cause some inconvenience during sleep. In addition, it is imperative to study the filling of the mattress, which can be natural or synthetic. Variants with natural filling are of higher quality, but they are much more expensive. The main disadvantage of synthetic fillers is that they do not circulate air, which can create some discomfort for the wearer. The best today are orthopedic mattresses, which allow you to form the correct posture and prevent back problems.
• Style... Most of the floating beds on the market have a modern look, so they will perfectly fit into interiors that are decorated in modern, minimalism, hi-tech or neoclassical styles.
