The cabinet bed is an ideal solution for those who have a small apartment, as its design allows you to fold the bed in the form of a closet if necessary.
Preparatory work
Making a wardrobe bed with the following tools:
- Perforator and drill (diameter 10 mm);
- Anchor mounts (diameter 10-12, and length - more than 80 mm);
- screwdriver;
- roulette;
- Building angle;
- level (length more than 500 mm);
- iron;
- pencil.
Drawing of a wardrobe.
Cabinet Bed is made with your own hands, using furniture fittings. Installation of such products is easily made with your own hands. To do this, use the scheme included in the kit. Details of future furniture are made of 18 mm thick chipboard.
The material is treated with a melamine edge (thickness 0.5 mm). For this, the last product is applied to the end of the details (down by the adhesive side). Iron heated. The edge is stroked and pressed against the surface with dry material. Excess the edges are cut. The chamfer is inspired by sandpaper. To make a wardrobe bed, the mattress parameters should be taken into account. Standard dimensions of the last product are 2000x1600x220 mm.
Main works
The design is designed for a mattress with a metal frame. Previously need to decide on the place of installation of the bed cabinet. Flooring should be even (an error is allowed at 5 mm per 1 m length). Otherwise, the furniture will break quickly. Of the components of the product allocate (mm):
Scheme of the lifting mechanism for the cabinet bed.
- 2 wardrobe sidewols (2282x420);
- bottom and upper part (1695x420);
- facial side (1685x2235);
- 2 sides of the skeleton of the mattress frame (2038x150);
- rear and front strapping frame (1605x150);
- 2 ribs stiffness (1690x350).
When choosing a lifting mechanism, the force of gas springs is taken into account (see Table). To make a closet bed, confirm (5x70), self-tapping screws (4x16), furniture corners (20x20), facade decor elements.

The ribs of stiffness, the bottom and the upper parts are twisted into the end with a drill of 5 mm. The side elements are equipped with a drill (in the plane) by 8 mm. Confirmates will be required for the bond. The resulting design is installed in place. The cabinet is attached to the wall using anchor bolts and reinforced corners.
Before installation, the verticalness of the sides and straight corners between them and horizontal elements are measured. In the place where the installation of the box is envisaged, the plinth is dismantled. If the base is connected by a long end, then the resulting furniture is used as a bedside table.
Important moments
Fixed elements of the mechanism are installed on the sidewalls. Similarly, installation of a frame of a mattress is mounted. The strap of the orthopedic base is fixed to the strapping using the scheme (from the manufacturer). Then screw the movable part of the bed cabinet. The mechanism rises. At the top of the strapping make holes for hidden legs. For this, the first 18 mm drill is used.
Details with which the frame is formed, is riveted with glue. The pins used to assemble the product must have a rectangular shape. To give the future bed additional strength and reliability in the frame screw the screws. Before installing the mattress, you will need to mount the limiters. To do this, they use a rail with a cross section of 100x50 mm. Then the longitudinal crossbar and transverse elements in 50 cm increments are installed.
The next step is to fit and the fasteners of the front panel. It is pre-fixed to the outer part of the strapping using 4 furniture corners (out of 10). Then the clearances are mixed. If necessary, the corner is adjusted. Hidden supports are inserted into the prepared holes.
Specialists are not recommended to be installed on the facade of the cabinet mirror, as it cannot withstand dynamic loads.
Panel can be decorated with special linings. The place of fixation of the handles is selected independently. The main thing is that the wardrobe bed is easily transformed. Female makers recommend buying reliable and high-quality accessories. When it is elected, the force of gas springs and the weight of the entire structure is taken into account. The last element can be replaced with furniture loops.
