The mechanisms are used on coil springs, gas lifts and manual hinges. The first ones are recognized as the most durable. The latter are considered more popular due to the ease of lifting the mattress on a double bed. The lifting mechanism depends on the load. Today on sale you can see a gas lift, thanks to which the base of the bed can be easily lowered before going to bed. Designed for a sleeping place weight of 100 kg. Refers to durable and reliable mechanisms. The spring version is less reliable. Requires repair over time. With a manual mechanism, the effort of the bed owner to raise/lower the mattress increases.

The dimensions of the bed must meet certain requirements. Ideally, for example, the length depends on the height of the future owner. It is recommended to select it taking into account that the specified parameter is 10...15 cm greater than the height of the vacationer. The width is calculated taking into account the following nuance: 1/2 of the bed should be the width of a person whose arms are thrown behind his head.

The shape of the bed plays a special role. It is advisable to opt for a rectangular one. Those beds that are made in a round, arched or oval shape are extremely uncomfortable for rest.

The material also plays a special role. A solid wood bed is considered ideal. Such furniture is durable, strong, environmentally friendly and safe. The metal frame also has a long service life and is fashionable. MDF has proven itself to be an unreliable material for beds.Sleeping places made of fiberboard and chipboard are budget-friendly, but short-lived.

The bed design is made of slats or in a solid version. The number of slats is important here. Their frequent arrangement guarantees convenience and durability.
