Many Russians cannot boast of spacious apartments and many rooms. Small-sized apartments do not please with an abundance of free space. If they manage to fit a double bed into the bedroom, then the owners have to squeeze past it sideways. Instead of a large, comfortable bed, folding sofa beds are purchased, which are also bulky and do not contribute to the final solution to the problem.
A bed-wardrobe from Ikea will help you save a lot of free space in your room.
IKEA specialists went further in the development of engineering thought. An idea was developed for the production of a transformable wardrobe bed, which became a salvation from cramped conditions for city residents and made it possible to equip a personal sleeping place, for example, in the living room.
A bed-wardrobe is 2 necessary types of furniture connected together.
The solution to the space issue is the IKEA transformable folding bed, which when assembled is put away in the closet, representing a full-fledged participant in the interior, or serving as a closet. Transformable wardrobe beds are made from a variety of materials - from budget to real wood veneer. The assembled bed disguises itself as a wardrobe and transforms the room. The legs are also decorated, serve as decoration, or are hidden in special nests.
A stylish bed-wardrobe will easily fit into any apartment interior.
The product itself, due to its complexity and various decor, is not cheap. But there are quite acceptable pieces of furniture that are installed in city apartments.

Design dimensions
The dimensions of functional furniture depend on the type of construction. An ordinary adult chest of drawers has a standard length of 200–220 cm and a width of 90–200 cm. Only the height changes, which depends on the number of tiers of drawers. The dimensions of beds for teenagers are within 90 × 200 cm. The length and height of bunk models are dictated by additional modules that are included in the kit: bedside tables, table, steps.
Advantages of chair-beds without armrests, their dimensions
The dimensions of transformers and folding models differ in assembled and disassembled form. When choosing such a bed, you need to calculate in advance how much space the folding or pull-out elements will require. In the room where there is an adult transformable chest of drawers, there should be free space for people to move around.
Models designed for newborns are always larger than the usual dimensions of the cradle. The changing table takes up additional space, thereby increasing the length of the structure. The width of the child's seat remains standard - 60–80 cm, and the length is 170–180 cm.
Large structures hardly fit into small rooms. Compact models, on the contrary, get lost in the atmosphere of spacious rooms. When choosing a chest of drawers, you should take into account not only the ratio of the size of the furniture and the area of the bedroom, but also the configuration of the room. If you plan to place the bed in a niche, the parameters depend on the width of the wall.

Solid wood is ideal for the production of a children's bed with a chest of drawers. Such raw materials guarantee a long service life of furniture without loss of basic characteristics. Throughout use, the natural material retains high resistance to mechanical stress, aesthetic appeal and environmental friendliness. Most often, inexpensive but durable pine is used for production. And to increase their presentation, these boards are covered with veneer made from valuable species.
In second place in terms of quality and cost is MDF. The big advantage of the material is that no toxic substances are used in the manufacture of fiberboards. The dense and homogeneous structure of MDF explains the long service life of furniture products. In addition, thanks to modern processing, the panels have an attractive appearance.
Chipboard is inferior to the first two types of materials in quality, but benefits due to its lower cost. Chipboard is reliable when using furniture. It makes beautiful dresser fronts and bed frames.
When purchasing furniture made from chipboard, you need to remember the possible toxicity of the composition that is used to glue the chips.

Tips for use
Simple dresser beds and more complex transformers require special attention from the owners. Constantly pulling out drawers, unfolding a bed, tilting a table - all these manipulations gradually wear out mechanical devices. Each time it is necessary to check the quality of fixation of elements. If necessary (the appearance of creaking, resistance), the working metal fittings are lubricated with machine oil. Screw fastenings are periodically checked and loose screws are tightened.
Features and types of corner sofa bed, selection criteria
Over time, dust and small debris accumulate in cracks and gaps, so regular cleaning of the house should alternate with general cleaning. A crib that includes a changing table requires more careful care. Such furniture must be constantly maintained in hygienic condition.
When arranging interior items, it is important to take into account their overall layout. If there is a transformable bed in the room, it is important that when unfolded the furniture does not create obstacles to movement. Open drawers and tilted countertops can not only cause injuries, but also break from impacts. Beds with desks need additional lighting, so it is recommended to consider the electrical wiring system so that there is an outlet next to the furniture. If this is not possible, the solution would be to change the arrangement of furniture.
A comfortable multifunctional bed-chest of drawers is a great solution for many spacious and small-sized apartments. Variations in models, sizes, materials, and designs allow you to choose the right one. And compliance with the operating rules guarantees pleasure from long-term use of such a product.
