Rating of the best sliding beds for 2022

To date, sliding beds are considered the most popular product on the furniture market. All retail outlets where you can buy such innovations not only have a wide range of ready-made products, but also offer to order them in an online store according to the planned interior design. This review discusses the most popular models, as well as the main criteria for choosing sliding beds.

Common features and transformation mechanisms

The main characteristics of the furniture is the non-standard design of the base, which varies in length or width. Such a system can be of 2 types - retractable or growing, they differ only in a feature of the mechanism. Initially, goods for children came into use, and only a little later adult doubles joined the line, already having a constant length, but capable of changing in width. There are two options for the sliding mechanism:

1. Book. At the moment, it is the most popular way to change the position of the bed. As a rule, these are several wooden frames connected with fittings.
2. Eurobook. A more modernized analogue of the bed transformation, unlike the above-mentioned option, does not touch nearby interior items during a change of position. The system is activated by springs that do not lose their elasticity and rigidity over the years.

As a rule, such options change due to the extension of the lower tier. After that, the furniture expands a couple of sizes, turning from a single bed into a lorry or a double bed. But the options for children move apart according to the principle of a ladder, to activate the mechanism, just pull out the handle. The most common options are:

category	bed width	long	height
children from 2 years	770mm	1280x1680	735
1 to 3	789	1200x1600	760
for 2 adults	assembled 1020 unfolded 1802	2190x2190	750

Base and upholstery elements

Most often, the main type of base for the bed becomes chipboard or a harder wood massif, while various combinations can be found in one product, including with metal legs, which allow you to securely fix the structure. As a wooden base, different types of copine, birch, maple are used. Often there are these interior items for adults and children from the following materials:

• Chipboard or MDF. It can be attributed to the budget option, when compared with the base of a natural array, but such matter is significantly inferior to the latter in strength.
• Wood. It is already estimated more expensive, for example, the cost of elite beds can reach up to 70,000 rubles, but this guarantees a longer service life of the furniture. Raw materials are considered environmentally friendly, not containing unwanted impurities.

• Plywood. Usually it is actively used in the manufacture of the bottom of the bed. Although this component is inexpensive, it is not as strong as the previous version.
• Metal. Most often it becomes the basis for sliding elements. It is considered very durable and guarantees a longer operation of the furniture.

If the bed provides additional functions of the sofa, the upholstery material may be different, which determines how much such a product will cost. Basically, sliding options are rarely covered with upholstery completely. As a rule, these are side inserts or a headboard. In this case, textiles or artificial leather are used. As for the design features of mattresses, which are purchased separately, these should be special samples.So in the case when the furniture moves apart as it grows, it is desirable that the soft part consists of several fabric elements - one for each sliding section. If the main part remains unchanged, a standard mattress along the length of the bed will do.

Pros and cons of these options

The obvious advantages of representatives of this type include:

• Space saving - the bed does not take up much space. In the daytime, she is quite capable of replacing the sofa, unfolding in the evening on a comfortable wide bed.
• Minimum budget expenditure - if the purchase is planned for a child, then it will honestly serve until he comes of age, since it will change growth together with the baby.
• Ease of operation - this variation is very easy to repair, without requiring communication with the master when necessary.
• The ability to find an acceptable option, taking into account the nuances of the entire design of the room.
• As a rule, such beds are equipped with additional elements and are more functional. For example, drawers for storing linen, a telescopic cabinet or a built-in table.
• Versatility - it can be used for a baby, as well as for a teenager or an adult, changing the length in accordance with the parameters of the sleeper.

But even here it was not without drawbacks:

• Acquisition. In many models, ordinary plywood is used to create the bottom, because of this, the structure is poorly ventilated, condensing moisture, causing damage to the mattress.
• Movable mechanisms are easy to break during active games.
• An absolutely flat surface is not always good for the spine, in particular, for children. It is better to opt for a lamellar base.

• flooring may be damaged.

If the floor in the room is made of laminate, it is appropriate to use special rubberized pads.

What varieties are

Description of options for children

Such cribs are usually put forward from the foot. Structurally, they consist of only a couple of parts: movable and stationary. These options have become very popular in families where there is a baby or several, as they are suitable for any age. This type of stock has another compartment, using which you can easily change the settings. By 2022, there are 2 options for such products:

• For children from 0 to 10 years old. It has the appearance of a classic cradle, growing as it grows up to 160 - 70 cm. This category includes models with different functions. Often, its equipment includes a changing table, a bedside table for things or movable lower drawers. For the safety of the baby, all children's structures are provided with boards. Most specialty stores even offer you to choose the height of the bed yourself.
• For those aged 3 to 15. More commonly known as grow up, it appears to be a standard structure that has the additional functionality of increasing its length from 133 to 200 centimeters.

Thanks to such a convenient size range, parents can only once spend money on purchasing a bed for their child. And for families where there are several children of about the same age at once, a two-tier sliding structure would be the best option. This solution will save the space of the room, allowing you to hide the lower part under the upper tier. This piece of furniture is purchased for growth and is often complemented by bedside tables. There are also three-tier options.

Sliding structures for adults

This type provides a maximum load of up to 150 kilograms.There are also different subspecies:

• Single - designed for only one person. It is arranged in the same way as previous models, but extends from the top and bottom at once, increasing the length of the bed. And in the daytime it acts as a sofa, without occupying the working space of the room.
• Double bedroom sliding system will be a good choice for a small apartment. It is best suited for rooms with a square or rectangular layout and can even be L-shaped. This design is a retractable section, which is located under the wider side. The system has 2 lifting mechanisms at once, which also affects the weight of the bed itself. This feature allows you to expand it to the size of a family bed or open access to a built-in linen closet.

When choosing such elements, it is worth considering the area that the bed will occupy when unfolded. Therefore, these products are often placed in the hall as an extra bed. Options for adults are transformed by rolling out the lower part. It is systems of this type that often have a backlight, however, it can be installed independently.

Tips on how to choose and where to place

According to buyers, in order to avoid mistakes when choosing, you should follow the following recommendations:

• The first thing you need to pay attention to is the composition of the base. A special feature of a wooden bed is an environmentally friendly material for the frame. A good label would be the presence of eco-labels.
• Before placing an order online, read customer reviews on the site about the reliability of the design and the period of its service.
• It is advisable to check the performance of the mechanisms, as well as the presence of external defects, before paying.
• When making a purchase, it is better to immediately purchase an orthopedic mattress for it. A well-chosen bed guarantees a restful sleep and will be the perfect solution for your back. And since only certain mattress options are suitable for a number of products, it will be difficult to choose them later.
• Before buying sliding furniture, be sure to measure the space of the room where it is supposed to be installed. Often, the nuances of designing a room determine the parameters of choice.
• When it is planned to put a bed near the door, you should make sure that the latter will open freely.
• If you intend to place it in the nursery, you should choose the corner option.
