Beds for Small Homes
Bed is one of the essential pieces of furniture in a home. There are many choices when one wants to buy a bed. The problem comes when the home does not have a sufficient space for the bed you choose. It is not possible to accommodate a king or a queen-size bed in a studio apartment. So what are the various options available to you, if you stay in a small home? As cities have become crowded and people have started living in small homes, several companies have started manufacturing space saving furniture.
There are several space-saving beds.
Futon
A futon serves two purposes. During daytime it can be used as a lounge or a sofa and at night, you can use it as a bed. It has a folding frame made of metal or wood with a double mattress over it. The mattress is made of high quality flexible material that can be easily folded without any damage. Futons are very portable because of their lightweight.
Sofa cum bed
As the name implies, it works as both sofa and bed. There are different types of sofa cum bed, which vary in material as well as their construction. They can be used if you do not have space to keep a conventional bed or if you want to make extra space for the guests. You can choose either a pull out sofa cum bed or the folding type of sofa cum bed.
Wall mounted bed
This is also known as Murphy bed. This is a wall-mounted bed that can be easily folded along the wall during daytime to save space. The bed can be made of wood or metal. There are various mounting mechanisms for Murphy beds. You should choose one according to the available space and whether you want a fixed or a flexible wall mounted bed.
