Beds and couches with an extra bed

When there is little space in a room, owners go to great lengths to make the most of it. Including looking for an opportunity to equip an extra bed. Our tips site will tell and show you what beds and couches can be with this additional function..

In an article on the choice and types of sofas, the portal wrote what folding mechanisms they can be equipped with. In the case of a bed or couch, the berth simply slides out from below. It turns out a kind of analogue of a bunk bed, when berths are not combined into one bed, but remain separate.

There are many advantages to beds and couches with an extra bed:

• Save room space, because when folded they are compact enough.

Beds and couches with a sliding berth can be with a metal frame and a back. In this case, the additional mattress is most often on wheels, it can easily move around the room and is not tied to the main sleeping place at all. In the case of a wooden frame or MDF, the berth is attached to the base. It is sometimes possible to remove and move it to another corner, sometimes not, it all depends on the design features.

Of the disadvantages of beds and couches with a pull-out mattress, one can note the lack of storage space under the furniture, because it is occupied by a mattress.
