Ikea folding beds save space

Folding beds

How much time do we spend in bed? According to the studies a third of our lives we spent it in bed sleeping. In addition, we would have to count the time we spend in bed reading, watching TV or jumping and waging cushion wars while we are little. The importance of choosing the right bed, therefore, should not be doubted.

What happens when in a bedroom we do not have the necessary space for children to sleep and play? And in those spaces intended for other uses that we want to also serve as a guest room occasionally? So in front of the traditional beds, the folding beds they become a great option.

Advantages and disadvantages of folding beds

The folding beds are designed to save space. They are beds that allow us to modify the spaces and their usefulness quickly and easily, with a single gesture, because today these folding beds are easily and effortlessly collected. A feature that makes them the best option when:

  • La room is too small and there is no space during the day to move in it.
  • We wish to have a second bed in a bedroom to host the children's friends.
  • We hope that a space usually destined for other uses can become occasional guest room.

Having a folding bed allows us welcome our guests without allocating a room exclusively for it. It is also a great idea if we have children and we want either to increase the family without the need to move to another larger house, or to be able to invite their friends.
