Väggsängar

Väggsängar, also known as Murphy beds or fold-down beds, are a type of space-saving furniture designed to be stored vertically against a wall when not in use. This allows a room to serve multiple purposes, transitioning from a bedroom to a living area or office with ease. The mechanism typically involves a spring or piston system that counterbalances the weight of the mattress and frame, making it relatively simple to lower and raise the bed.

Modern väggsängar come in various styles and sizes, from single to king-size. They can be integrated into custom cabinetry, featuring shelves, desks, or sofas that fold out or are concealed when the bed is deployed. Materials range from wood veneers and laminates to metal, offering aesthetic options to match different interior designs. Installation usually requires secure mounting to wall studs to ensure stability and safety.

The primary advantage of a väggsäng is its ability to maximize usable floor space in smaller apartments, studios, or multi-functional rooms. This makes them a practical solution for guest rooms or children's rooms where space is at a premium. While they represent an initial investment, their dual functionality and space-saving benefits can be highly valuable. Safety considerations include ensuring the mechanism is properly installed and operated, and that children are supervised around the moving parts.
