In small-sized apartments, there is often a shortage of sleeping places. Especially important if this question rises at the arrival of guests or relatives. As an extra bed, clamshell can serve. This is a convenient, practical, mobile and light sleeping place, where it can easily be a person. The main thing in this case choose a high-quality design that would serve not one year.
Benefits and varieties of clamshells
Folding bed in the interior of your home or apartment will be practically invisible. It is easy to fold and lay out, it takes not so much space. That is why even in a small apartment will be convenient to have such an extra bed bed. But before you choose a clamshell to pay attention to some nuances that play an important role.
Folding beds have a number of advantages:
- compactness - they can easily be hide or imperceptibly put near the wall, the cabinet;
- ease - the design is not heavy, so it can be decomposed independently;
- economy - due to the low cost of the clamshell is the most budget variant of the bed;
- mobility - this type of furniture can be easily used both indoors and in the country, nature, in a country house;
- practicality is a comfortable, comfortable sleeping bed, which completely replaces a full-fledged bed;
- strength - despite its sizes can withstand a fairly laload;
- durability - By choosing a high-quality clamshell, you can count on it for a long time.
Depending on where you intend to use this furniture, you can select such species as:
- urban and summer houses - all budget folding beds are suitable for this type of both stretch and springs, lamellas; They are comfortable to hide under the bed, here you can place guests, as well as such furniture is easy to transport in the car;
- tourist or hiking are most popular among nature lovers, as they have a relatively small weight (about 5-6 kg); Dachas differ from greater compactness; Such a mobile clamshell is fitted into a miniature case, which is more like a weapon; It is enough just to break the support legs and a sleeping place is ready;
- baby - differ from adults size and height.
When choosing clamshells, be sure to pay attention to its height. For an adult, it should be at least 45-50 cm from the floor, and for a child - 25 cm. Thanks to this, you can comfortably sit and easily climb from your bed.
For home it is best to choose a comfortable, wide and solid folding bed, especially if you intend to sleep on it daily. It is best to choose a spring or wooden flap, which is stacked by the mattress. Such furniture will replace a full-fledged bed.
Flashing bed frame
Before choosing a flap costs to pay attention to the framework. It consists of a small number of details: legs, bases, heads and hinged connecting elements. The material from which the cut-out frame is made is steel or aviation aluminum. The second appearance is suitable for tourist and country clamshells. Thanks to him, they will be lungs that will give the opportunity to take a sleeping place with them and conveniently transport it. Steel is used for folding bed, which is intended for home or apartment. The furniture frame is covered with a special polymer paint that protects parts from corrosion.
It will be quite easy to decompose such a design. Almost all of them are bend in half, so only one movement is enough so that the sleeping place is decomposed. The only thing worth to count the strength. If it is an aluminum frame, it can be deformed from strong pressing. Also look at how the legs of the folding bed are exhibited, so that they do not work out from the load.
Modern designs have small metal backs that do not allow the mattress to fall from the clamshells. Also, some models are equipped with wheels, thanks to which they quickly and easily move the mini bed around the room.
Since the designs of clamshells are completely different, then the weight load on them will differ. From the selected model, you can count on the weight of 100 to 250 kg. It all depends on the thickness of the pipes themselves and the material from which the framework is made.
Varieties and device baselifts - which is better to choose
Before deciding which clamshell is better, you need to take a look at how the base of the bed is arranged. Consider the types of folding beds by the type of base:
- in the classic model, dense and pretty wear-resistant fabric is stretched throughout the perimeter springs.
Pros: The lightest clamshell, the lowest price, convenient and reliable design.
Cons: With frequent operation, it can stretch and seek, there is no mattress (if any, it is not removed), not too comfortable sleep for the back.
Withstands such a base to 100 kg.
There are clamshells with a strained web without springs.
- the shell mesh is a metallic weave, which is attached to the galvanized springs on the perimeter.
Pros: It has a small weight, the average cost, convenient, practical, durable, is a little bit under the weight of a person, but not stretched.
Withstands the load to 150 kg.
- Spring snake - bent metal bars, which are attached to springs with a short side of the clamshell.
Pros: low price, reliable and high-quality base, low weight.
Cons: Be sure to be stronger than the grid, which can lead to rapid stretching.
The approximate weight of the load is about 100-120 kg.
- The folding bed on the lamellae - has a metal frame and wooden (birch) plates that are attached to the design. The thickness of the lamella goes from 8 mm, but for strength it is better to take 12 mm.
Pros: withstands high weight, has an orthopedic basis, does not harm back, supports the necessary warmth and moisture.
Withstands weight up to 250 kg.
The size of the clamshell ranges from the most minimal sizes up to 2 m. Length you can pick up individually under your height, but the width is the most convenient for sleep starts from 80 cm. If you want a really comfortable sleeping bed, you can pick up a double folding bed. It reaches 100-120 cm in width. Good design should have a height of at least 40 cm. You should be comfortable to ride with such a bed and lie on it.
What mattresses are cut clamshells
Going to the furniture store, you can see not only what are the folding beds, but and what kind of equipment they have. Most often with clamshells are mattresses. For the type of filler, they are divided into two types:
- holik is a modern synthetic filler, which is made of spiral polyester fibers.
The advantages of the material: odorless, not combustible, quickly returns to its original position, has hypoallergenic properties, does not absorb moisture, it uses well, saves heat, durable, resistant to dry and wet cleaning (up to 95 ° C).
- regenerated fiber - recycled material of cotton, woolen or sewing production. Such a filler can be a half-walled, synthetic, cotton or combined.
Pros: inexpensive, high-quality, durable material.
Disadvantages: requires careful care, can absorb moisture and various odors.
Among the fillers are often encountered with a sintepon and foam rubber. It is sufficiently light, but not durable materials that can leave grid prints or lamellae. If you take a clamshell as a guest version, then such a mattress will be convenient and economical. For daily sleep, it is better to choose a high-quality filler that will serve not one year.
Some models can be without a mattress. These are classic clamshells. With a metal base and on the lamella, folding beds go immediately with the mattress. It has different heights - 5 and 10 cm. On what mattress it will be more convenient to solve only you.
By the way, it is convenient and that you do not need to remove the mattress before folding clamshells. It can be folded with the mattress and it is more convenient, compact.
The clamshell is a mobile bed that takes the minimum space in the folded form and serves as a full-fledged sleeping place in the unfolded. Getting to the selection is carefully and carefully, paying attention to the frame, the base, an additional complete set.
When it becomes necessary to buy a folding bed, in the head of most people there is an image of the classic "Soviet" clamshells with a base of a strong canvase and an adjustable headrest. However, today the choice of clamshells and folding beds is quite wide, and you can easily choose the desired model, fully relevant needs and the buyer's budget. In order to make your choice as simple as possible and pleasant, we will tell you about several parameters for which you should pay attention to when buying.
For whom the clamshell is intended
For a child, you can pick up a children's folding bed without a mattress and with a mattress included. From ordinary single coils, they differ with reduced bedroom sizes. The size in the unfolded form of children's folding beds is 60x160 cm with a permitted load of up to 100 kg, which is enough to organize the bedroom to the child.
Since the variety of clamshells for adults is much wider, then more factors should be taken into account when choosing.
The most budget option is clamshells with a base of textile. This is a durable nonwoven material, which is either attached to the frame using the springs (models,), or stretched directly to the frame (model). These are the most compact and lightwell clams in the whole model range. We recommend these models if the storage compactness is important for you, and you are not going to use a folding bed for daily sleep. It is also worth paying attention to that due to the small width of the bedroom, such models will not fit people with a large complex.
For more frequent use and full-fledged adult holiday, it is worth choosing a flap of at least 80 cm wide. The advantage of clamshells of this type is a large permissible load - up to 150 kg. Thanks to the strong tension of the grid, even with frequent and long-term use, the clamshell will not lead, which means that you will last long enough. Models with a grid at the base are always equipped with a comfortable mattress.
For daily comfortable sleep with care about the back, we recommend choosing clamshells with wooden lamellas. Thanks to the production technology, nudo-glued lamellas under load form a smooth surface, do not bend and do not create the effect of "hammock". And in combination with a comfortable mattress, such a clamshell is completely able to replace the usual bed. Permissible load in such clamshells from 100 to 200 kg. The dimensions of the folding beds with the lamellas vary: 80x190 cm (,), 90x200 cm (, 90x195 cm (), 120x190 cm (,), so you can choose the model that comes with the parameters.
If you have the guests to have families, we recommend purchasing a double folding bed (), which can comfortably accommodate two adults of the middle set or one, quite large dimensions. Double folding beds have an increased up to 120 cm of the width of the bed, and the length is 190 cm. And withstand up to 200 kg of distributed load.
Dimensions of clamshells in folded and unfolded form
Knowing the size of the selected folding bed, you can decide in advance with its location in the room both during use and when stored.
Before choosing clamshells, be sure to measure the place in which you plan to install it !!! After all, initially apparent "small", temporary clamshell, with incorrect estimation of the size may be "a huge" bed! Observe the rules of operation, do not exceed the allowable distributed loads and do not create peak loads per point. Remember that the clamshell, even with the grid at the base, is not a trampoline, but a sleeping place.
(Distributed load, depending on the folding model, varies from 100 to 200 kg.) Be sure to choose a folding bed with a reserve by load and taking into account the weight of a person.
Type of base (Textile, Pacitary mesh or lamella)
The absence or presence of a mattress and its filler
Clamps with a mattress differ in the type of mattress filler:
- regenerated fiber - inexpensive, natural material, which is recycling of wool, sewing or cotton production. Such mattresses will serve for a long time, but require periodic drying and ventilation.
- PPU (polyurethane or foam rubber) is an elastic, cellular material. Such mattresses do not cause allergies, perfectly support the body during sleep, the smells do not absorb.
- holoron is a modern nonwoven material, in sensations similar to the foam rubber, but produced by other technologies. Holikon elastic, wear-resistant, hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly, antibacterial, does not absorb smells and moisture, not a fuel.
The framework of clamshells in our online store is made of high-strength steel pipes of various diameters. All metal elements of folding beds are covered with anti-corrosion polymer paint protecting the product from the environmental factors. The larger the diameter of the carcass pipe, the more reliably there will be a clamshell.
Frequency of use
If you do not plan to often use a clamshell, you can purchase a budget option that is light and compact when stored. For regular recreation, we recommend buying folding beds with a sleeve width of at least 80 cm, with an orthopedic base - wooden slats.
If you have questions about choosing a folding bed, our experienced operators will gladly help you finally decide on the choice. Pleasant shopping!
