Wall beds are commonly used in dual-purpose rooms, but they're also perfect for daily use in studio apartments or homes where every inch of space is valuable. With the right suitable mattress, a wall bed doesn't need to be reserved for special occasions.
Key Features and Usage:
-
Wall beds open and close using pistons. These pistons are relaxed when the bed is closed and compressed when the bed is open.
-
It's important to keep the wall bed closed when not in use. This helps to maintain the longevity of the pistons, which are tested to withstand 10,000 cycles—equivalent to 27 years if used once per day.
Daily Maintenance Tips:
-
If you’re not in the habit of making your bed every day, using a wall bed might require a bit more morning discipline. Plan to spend a few minutes each day to:
-
Remove and store pillows and thick blankets.
-
Leave the fitted sheet or well-tucked sheet set on the bed.
-
Unlock and fold the foot mechanism.
-
Close the bed.
-
Benefits of Regular Use:
-
Keeping the bed closed when not in use not only preserves the mechanism but also keeps your living space neat and organized.
-
There is evidence to suggest that making your bed every day can lead to increased happiness, greater success, and better sleep quality.
