Not so long ago, an unusual novelty appeared on the furniture market – a floating bed. Its inventor is considered to be the Italian designer Daniele Lago. This invention quickly gained popularity and began to be actively used by designers around the world. But is it worth changing the usual bed for such an unusual alternative?

Advantages of a “soaring” legless bed

1. FUTURISTIC APPEARANCE

The first and most important feature of this bed is its appearance. The unusual mounting method creates a fabulous atmosphere with a zero-gravity effect. Quite often, designers equip the lower part with neon lights, which creates an even more impressive effect. Such a bed will clearly become a highlight of any interior.

2. REDUCED CLEANING TIME

It should also be borne in mind that thanks to the non-standard mount, the floating bed allows you to quickly cope with cleaning. The absence of obstacles allows you to use a mop and quickly put things in order. The robot vacuum cleaner looks especially impressive, smoothly driving under such a bed.

3. RELIABILITY

Despite its appearance, the floating bed is just as reliable as the standard one. It is worth noting that it is not prone to loosening and can withstand a fairly large weight. The “carrying capacity” of such a bed is more than 200 kg.

4. COMFORT

Another rather important advantage of such furniture is its noiselessness. These beds are characterized by the absence of a squeak, which allows you to quickly go to sleep or just relax.

5. VERSATILITY

Such bedroom furniture is suitable for both adults and children. It can be placed in the bedroom, living room, or children’s room. It is worth noting that floating beds adapt perfectly to any interior style. Although originally used in the style of “minimalism”

6. LARGE ASSORTMENT

Despite the fact that this type of furniture has become popular relatively recently, it quickly found its place in the furniture market. Designers are improving this piece of furniture, which contributes to its relevance. There are more and more varieties of styles, fastening methods, sizes, materials, and additional functions.

Cons to consider

1. DIMENSION

Despite its rather light appearance, such a bed is quite large. For its fastening, walls and ceiling are used. Such a bed will look most successful in spacious rooms. In rooms with little space, it will look less attractive.

2. LACK OF MOBILITY

Hanging beds are mainly attached to the wall or ceiling. This fact affects their mobility. It is often recommended to mount them once. Of course, if you wish, you can make a rearrangement, but this process will be quite long and laborious.

3. DIFFICULTY IN INSTALLATION

Unfortunately, in most cases, when installing a bed of this type, you cannot do it without the specialist. The process of installing the bed is quite complicated and time-consuming.

4. CONS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF SPACE

Quite often, standard beds have additional storage space. With such furniture, this ability is lost. Because placing something under a floating bed spoils the whole effect of it. In this case, the room should have special furniture for storing things, which requires sufficient space.

5. PRICE

Unlike the standard one, the floating bed is significantly higher in price. Of course, this fact can be explained by its advantages over an ordinary bed and the complexity of fastening.

The most common mounting methods

1. WALL MOUNTING

With one hidden support in the middle – the frame is mounted to the wall. Complex structures are used, metal and wood are combined. All this allows the bed to be strong and reliable.

2. CEILING MOUNT

This type of fastening is carried out using ropes. The main advantage of this type is the ability to rock the bed. This option will be especially useful for use in a children’s room.

3. COMBINED MOUNTING METHOD

This method is characterized by the presence of ropes attached to the ceiling. But in this case, they perform only an auxiliary function. The main load falls on the wall mount.

Accordingly, a floating bed is a perfect choice for any room, providing comfort and creating a special atmosphere.
