Bed with a corner headboard in the interior - features and benefits

A feature of the bed is the presence of side walls along the longitudinal and transverse sides, which form a corner headboard, as well as the absence of a back in the legs.

A bed with a corner headboard has the same advantages as a traditional rectangular one:

• functionality,
• reliability,
• convenience,
• long service life.

An additional advantage of furniture with a corner at the head is the saving of room space. However, not all models with a corner back are designed to be placed in a corner of the room, on the furniture market there are sleeping boxes, on the back of the head of which there are shelves, drawers and other functional equipment. Such models of sleeping beds are designed to be placed in the central part of the room.

The disadvantages of structures with an angle include a massive appearance - the angled sides give the furniture extra volume.

Features and rules for choosing corner beds

The main structural elements of any sleeping bed are the frame, back and base under the mattress. When choosing a piece of furniture, it is important to consider the material of manufacture and design, the product should be harmoniously combined with the overall interior of the room.

By the installation method, right and left-handed models of corner beds are distinguished. Before choosing furniture, think in advance about its placement. Due to the peculiarities of the angular back, rearranging the sleeping bed to another place will be quite problematic.

The head of the corner bed

The head of the beds are low and high, soft and hard, continuous or with gaps, in shape - rectangular, semicircular, square, curved.

The corner headboard may be a continuation of the frame or be made in the form of a hinged structure. For the manufacture of angular backs, furniture manufacturers use materials such as wood, plastic, chipboard panels. As upholstery materials, fabrics, natural and artificial leather are used.

Frame and dimensions

The frame is the main structural element of the sleeping bed, furniture performance indicators depend on its quality and strength. The furniture industry offers a large selection of corner bed models for adults and children.

The corner double bed has the following dimensions:

• length - 225 cm,
• width - 180 or 200 cm.

One and a half models with the same length of 225 cm has a width of 140 or 160 cm. The size of the crib frame with a corner headboard is 193x84 cm.

Reliable and high-quality bed with a corner back is equipped with a frame made of solid wood or metal. The budget segment of furniture is produced using MDF and particleboard.

Finishing may be represented by materials such as

• velours,
• flock
• jacquard,
• Chenny
• artificial leather
• supersoft,
• leather.

The basis of the berth - the device that are

The bed base is a structural element that is responsible for the comfort of a bed. There are corner beds with a solid and slatted bottom on the furniture market.

A solid base is made from boards of plywood or chipboard sheets. The main claim to a flat bottom is the lack of ventilation of the bottom of the mattress.

The lattice base for the mattress is a wooden or metal frame fixed to the bed frame. Across the frame are lamellas made of bent-glued timber or plastic. The armor is mounted on the grill by means of special devices - lato-holders.

When choosing a bed, you should pay attention to the number of slats in the lattice structure. The distance between the lamellas should not exceed their own width.

A high-quality trellised base of a double bed should contain at least 30 laths, single - at least 15.

Separate corner beds use a lifting base. The smooth raising and lowering of the base under the mattress is provided by a special mechanism.

Storage systems

To save more floor space, most models of corner beds are equipped with storage systems, which eliminates the need for additional pieces of furniture - bedside tables, chests of drawers and more.

The advantages of furniture with storage modules are:

• economical use of usable area,
• lack of dust in the bed space.

Despite all the advantages, beds with storage systems have one significant drawback - the lack of proper ventilation of the bottom of the mattress.

In corner beds with a lifting mechanism, the storage system is a spacious niche. A capacious box can be used to store bedding and other overall items. Access to the storage system is formed by lifting the trellised frame. In the lifting structures of beds, two main types of mechanisms are used - spring and gas. The most widely used in corner models are gas lifts.

Gas lift is a cylindrical shock absorber filled with air or gas. Gas shock absorbers are designed for up to 90 cycles of lowering and raising, able to withstand significant loads, can be used with any type of mattress.

In double models, mechanisms with vertical lifting of the base are used, in single beds two types of mechanisms can be used - vertical and horizontal lifting.

In corner beds, the storage system can be presented in the form of drawers located in the lower part of the structure. To create storage zones, furniture manufacturers use two types of drawers:

Headboard Options

The main emphasis in the design of the corner bed is the headboard. Functionality and visual effect depend on how it will be. The main characteristics of the head:

• High or low. The length can reach 1.5 m or be limited to 15 cm. Such a bed does not have to be placed against the wall. The large height of the back allows you to zone the space, separating a cozy corner for sleeping. The reverse side of the partition can be supplemented with shelves or small niches. If you choose a model in bright colors, it will not look bulky,
• Soft or hard. Wooden or plastic headboard is easy to clean from dust, remove dirt from it. Plush upholstery looks very comfortable. An important function of the soft headboard is protection against drafts. This plus will be appreciated by residents of corner apartments and lovers to open a window at night. Soft sides absorb sound, improving sound insulation,
• Solid, patterned or with niches. A classic corner bed is framed by a headboard without gaps. Today, manufacturers also offer custom models with carved sides. Curly forged headboards look very impressive. The design looks easy and airy. A blanket thrown over it, if necessary, can serve as a dense curtain,
• Fixed or removable. The sides that are part of the structure are more durable. A removable frame allows you to transform a bed from a corner into a regular one,
• Wide or narrow. The thickness of the standard headboard does not exceed 1.5 cm. Large manufacturers offer models where the side wall easily replaces the bedside table in terms of functionality. You can put a book or phone on it, put a cup of tea, a photo frame and other small items,
• Rectangular or curly. Here the choice depends solely on the preferences of the owners of the home and the style prevailing in the interior. Minimalists or hi-tech fans will like strict straight lines. By choosing the head of the complex shape, you can achieve oriental flavor.

Sleeping area

As with any bed, the main characteristic here is comfort. How comfortable the bed will be depends on the base. There are 2 options:

1. Continuous - plywood or derevolists are used for production. The main disadvantages of this option are poor ventilation of the mattress. Orthopedists do not recommend sleeping on a flat surface all the time,
2. Lattice - the support is carried out on many wooden slats. The design provides free air circulation. For the musculoskeletal system, this option is more useful. It evenly distributes the load and allows the body to relax as much as possible. It should be noted that even high-quality lamellas sometimes break. However, replacing them is not difficult.

It is important that the distance between the lamellas is not greater than the width of each individually. Otherwise, the life of the bed and the quality of sleep will be reduced.

The structural strength will provide a reliable frame. It is performed from:

• Particleboard is a very popular material for budget models. It is inferior in durability to other frames. If the material resource is limited, do not despair. A bed from a responsible manufacturer will last at least 10 years. With a careful attitude, furniture made of derevolist serves its owners much longer,
• Wood - a natural, strong frame is more expensive than its counterparts. This disadvantage pays off for a long period and comfortable operation. Wooden structures allow you to realize original ideas: organize niches or shelves, carved windows,
• Metal - This material is very durable. It is more economical than wood. Usually forged furniture does not have drawers for storage.

Mattresses are made of foam. It is economical, but not durable. Another option is a spring unit. During sleep, the human body relies on many independent springs. So the load is distributed evenly. The mattress does not push and lasts longer. Sleeping on it is pleasant and helpful. Latex mattresses are also made. They are soft, resilient and keep their original shape perfectly.

For those who are used to acting rationally, the choice of upholstery will be an important point. A popular option for wall covering is eco-leather. It is easy to clean and looks stylish. It is rarely used for a berth. Sheets slip off a smooth surface. Materials suitable for bed upholstery:

They have similar characteristics, the choice depends on personal preference. In the manufacture of luxury furniture using genuine leather. This material is intended to emphasize the status of the owner of the bed. Modern artificial coatings are not inferior to the skin in wear resistance and comfort.

Additional functions

• In almost any home, additional storage space will come in handy. In this case, you should choose a model with deep drawers. They are put forward on casters or runners. Sometimes access is opened by lifting the mattress. There are models with various niches that are suitable for placing books or decor items,
• A convenient option is a lifting base. She will be appreciated by those who hide pillows and a blanket in linen boxes daily. If the space under the bed is used for storage, the mechanism will save the owners of the bed from the need to exert physical effort. Models with this function should be selected only from trusted manufacturers,
• The bed can be placed in the corner of the modular wall. This option has long been loved by the townsfolk. It allows you to combine an office for work or study (or a game area) and a place to sleep,
• Two tiers located perpendicular to each other. The upper and lower beds have a common headboard. It is placed in the corner. This bed will be a reasonable solution for families with 2 children.

How to choose the size

The design of a bedroom with a corner bed can be royal luxurious, even with the modest dimensions of the apartment. It is enough to choose a velor base with a carriage screed and the room will become like a boudoir of a noble person. To correctly use the space, you need to understand what size bed will satisfy the need for comfort and leave free space.

A sleeping place located in the corner will free up space for games and developing activities in the children's room. If a couple of kids live in the bedroom, beds can be placed on opposite sides of the center by placing a table between them. Due to the large length of 1.9-2 m, you can use a corner bed in adolescence.

Standard sizes of corner beds (cm).

Keep in mind that the width and length of the bed with a voluminous soft headboard will be 5-15 cm larger. Corner furniture is an easy way to organize the space of a small room ergonomically. An ordinary bed, which does not have protective barriers, forces a person not to occupy 10-20 cm from each edge of the bed. Intuitively falling asleep insures itself against falling. Choosing a model with a side allows you to use every centimeter of a berth. Accustomed to sleep on a bed 2 m wide, you can safely choose a corner bed 1.8 m wide. It will not be crowded, and an additional 20 cm will add room to the room.

The compact furniture 120x200 cm located in the corner can become a family bed for a couple who begins their journey in a small apartment. With such dimensions, the bed is suitable for two, but does not take up much space. Young people without hesitation will be accommodated on a bed together.
