How to make a raised bed. Experiment - sleeping on an inclined bed. Bed placement in the bedroom - basic rules

Any piece of furniture should, first of all, be comfortable and bring pleasure when using it.

Project

The main parameters of the bed are determined by the length and width of the mattress and its type. All this must correspond to the height and build of the people using it. My wife and I are of thin build. My height (I’m taller than my wife) is 176 cm. Based on this, we chose the dimensions of the mattress - 2000 x 1600 x 150 mm, type of mattress - soft. The angle of the back of the bed was also carefully selected so that you could sit comfortably. The design of the bed also plays an important role. We wanted it to fit harmoniously into the decor of the bedroom, where our doors and floors were made to match the color natural oak. Therefore, they decided to make the visible parts of the bed frame from natural oak. The project was based on a design that allows not only to sleep comfortably, but also to store household belongings, which only grow over time. To do this, we used the space under the bed, installing a spacious drawer and providing easy access to it using special mechanism raising the base on which the mattress lies.

This double (a double bed, as many say) I made the bed with my own hands based on your own ideas about comfort and practicality.

The bed consists of the main parts shown in drawing 1.

Bed frame(two longitudinal drawers and two transverse) assembled from furniture oak panels 16 mm thick and mounted on legs made of aluminum pipe square section 40 x 40 mm. The dimensions of the frame were selected to match the dimensions of the mattress.

The headboard is a furniture pine board 18 mm thick, screwed to one of the short sides of the frame at a convenient angle, which is set by two support boards. The headboard was upholstered with fabric, under which there was foam rubber 50 mm thick.

Inside the bed frame there is a storage box assembled from three narrow furniture panels 18 mm thick.

The base for the mattress is a metal frame with dimensions of 2000 x 1600 x 290 mm made of square pipe, on which the lamellas are fixed. Five legs are attached to the frame - four in the corners and one in the center of the base. The transformation (lifting) mechanism with gas lifts is attached to the base frame for the mattress and the longitudinal sides of the bed.

Materials for making a double bed

I ordered the base frame and the mattress itself from the online store. Lifting mechanisms with gas cylinders were purchased from a company that sells furniture fittings. Installation instructions were not included with them, so I had to look for the necessary information in furniture stores and on the Internet.

Of the two bedspreads purchased, one is used for its intended purpose, and the second is used for the front upholstery of the backrest. Foam rubber 50 mm thick for the backrest was purchased at construction market. In addition, you needed:

planed pine block measuring 2000 x 40 x 20 mm for the stiffener;
block 2000 x 40 x 40 mm to prevent the mattress from sliding when lifting the base;
board 2000 x 100 x 20 mm for making racks to which the headboard is attached;
square aluminum pipe 1000 x 40 x 40 mm for bed legs;
large corners with shelf length 150 mm – 4 pcs.;
small furniture corners - 10 pcs.,
mounting plates 100 x 50 mm -4 pcs.;
furniture footers with internal thread MB – 12 pcs.;
bolts MB x 50 – 16 pcs.;
bolts MB x 12 – 8 pcs.;
bolts M12 x 20 – b pcs. and yellow screws of various sizes.

Do-it-yourself double bed - progress of work

On the construction market, to make visible elements of the bed frame (tsars), I bought three oak furniture panels dimensions 2100 x 300 x 16 mm. For the fourth (hidden from view) king, as well as for

The sides of the glove box and the headboard were purchased with pine panels. I wanted to take thicker oak panels, but only 16 mm ones were available.

To make a transverse drawer at the foot of the bed, one of the panels was sawn with a circular saw to the size of the width of the bed. To make the cutting line smooth, I used a guide block for the base of the saw, secured with clamps.

I sawed and polished the panels at the dacha, since such work is accompanied by loud noise and education large quantity dust. To treat the surfaces of the boards I used a tape grinding machine with fine grain tape. The ends of the transverse bed frame were rounded. This looks nicer and is safer to use, since there is always the possibility of accidentally getting caught on the corner of the bed.

Oak panels were coated with matte furniture varnish in two layers with intermediate sanding by hand. I painted them with a small paint roller with short, velvety bristles. Pine boards I sanded it a little and coated it with a colored wood compound.

Assembling a double bed frame

First of all, I assembled the bed frame (photo 1). To do this, I connected the longitudinal and transverse drawers using large angles and screws 0 5 x 16, as well as four legs cut with a hacksaw from a square aluminum pipe. The legs were secured with four MB x 50 bolts, which were screwed through the holes in the legs into the furniture footers, previously installed in the panels. Under the footers, I drilled blind holes in the drawers Ø 4.5 mm and 14 mm deep. I made a couple of holes on one side of the leg with an offset of 10 mm relative to the other pair.

I secured a support block with a cross-section of 40 x 40 mm (photo 2), which prevents the mattress from sliding down when the base frame is lifted. The length of the bar is equal to the distance between the longitudinal sides of the bed. The block was attached to the longitudinal sides of the bed using two corners and 4 x 20 screws.

Bed lift mechanism

At the next stage (photo 3, 4), I installed the lifting mechanisms, attaching them to the base frame under the mattress and to the longitudinal sides of the bed. Each lifting mechanism was first secured to the base frame with three M12 x 20 bolts. To do this, I marked the position of the holes on the frame, after which I drilled three 0 10 mm holes in the frame on each side and cut the threads with an M12 tap.

Having bolted the corner of the lifting mechanism to the frame, I placed the base under the mattress inside the bed frame and marked four holes in each longitudinal frame for the MB footers, corresponding to the holes in the bottom bar of the mechanism. It was very important to install the base under the mattress inside the frame so that there was a gap on all sides between the frame and the drawers for proper operation lifting mechanism. According to the marks, I drilled blind holes 0 4.5 and 14 mm deep in the longitudinal drawers, then screwed in the fittings on each side, and screwed the bottom bar of the mechanism to the drawers with four MB x 12 screws on each side. After that, I checked the operation of the lifting mechanism. There was no need to adjust the position of the bed frame.

DIY glove box

I secured the transverse wall of the box with four 0 5 x 50 screws, screwed into the ends through holes previously made in the longitudinal drawers, and then attached the two longitudinal walls of the drawer using corners and 4×12 screws to the transverse drawer at the head of the bed (photo 3-5)

How much will it cost to make a double bed with your own hands:

Expenses

The main cost at the time of manufacturing the bed was made up of purchased products:

mattress - 16,000 rub.
bed base - 3000 rub.
gas lifting mechanisms (set) - 3000 rub.
furniture panels and fittings - approximately 3,000 rubles.

– bedspread (2 pcs.) - 2000 rub. The savings compared to buying a ready-made bed amounted to approximately 5,000 rubles, but I couldn’t find a bed that fit into the bedroom interior.

We have been using the bed for almost five years. Everything is convenient and practical. The family is happy with my creation!

A person bedridden as a result of a serious illness or injury has to contend with more than just a physical illness. Psychologically, it is very difficult to accept dependence on other people, especially if you were recently cheerful and active, but today you cannot even lift a pillow on your own.

To simplify the process of caring for bedridden patients as much as possible by creating for them comfortable conditions, manufacturers rehabilitation equipment develop and produce functional medical beds. These devices are ideal for sleep and wakefulness of sedentary patients, helping them to take comfortable positions, promoting speedy rehabilitation and preventing the formation of bedsores and congestion. Functionality special medical beds significantly facilitate medical and rehabilitation measures, and also help to fully care for an immobilized patient.

Types of medical beds

The main difference between a medical bed and a regular one is the special design of the bed with movable sections and a set of additional functional elements. The stock is divided into several sections, each of which can be installed under different angle tilt

1. Depending on the method of controlling the sections, the beds are divided into mechanical and electrical.

Beds, in turn, are divided into models:

With the Rastomat mechanism, in which the raising and lowering of sections is done manually, and the sections are attached at the desired angle on comb clamps. This option is more economical in terms of price, and its operating principle is similar to a regular folding bed.
With worm drive. In such devices, the angle of inclination of the sections is changed due to screw levers. This type of adjustment is smooth and does not require much effort.

Some models combine these two types of section control.

The most expensive and most comfortable for patients are. It will be easy to control them not only for assistants, but also for the patient himself - after all, to raise the sections simultaneously or one by one, you just need to press the buttons on the remote control. The electric drive operates very smoothly. It does not cause inconvenience to the owner and allows him to change the position of the body without the help of strangers, which is important not only from the point of view of physiology, but also improves the psychological mood of the patient.

To protect against power outages, many models are equipped with a battery or have a so-called hybrid drive, that is, they can be controlled not only from a remote control using electric motors, but also manually, like conventional mechanical beds.

2. Models vary in the number of bed sections:

– foot and head;
– leg, head and hip;
– knee, femoral, pelvic and head (the most common type).
6 – 12 sections – four standard sections are supplemented with side sections for turning the patient over, for supporting the body, for lowering the inner leg section, etc.

By changing the angle of the sections in the bed, a person can take a semi-sitting position, known in medicine as the “Fowler's position.” In this case, the patient’s shoulders and head are raised by 45-60 degrees, and the legs are slightly bent at the knees. According to research, this body position is optimal for a bedridden person: it reduces the risk of bedsores and promotes normal operation lungs and relaxes the abdominal muscles.

Some models can take the form of a chair, allowing its owner to comfortably watch TV, knit or talk with visitors.

3. Beds can have different functionality:

Additional functionality may include options such as the CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) resuscitation function, which allows you to instantly bring the bed to a horizontal position by unblocking the raised zones, as well as some other specialized functions.

Additional options

Convenience and correct operation functional beds largely provide various structural additions.

1.Mattress

The main option necessary for proper comfortable placement of the patient is a special orthopedic mattress, which covers the hard slats of the mattress bed. Some beds come with a mattress by default, while for others it can be purchased separately. In any case, using the bed without a special mattress is impossible. The reason why many models do not come with mattresses right away is the availability of a choice of mattresses different types suitable for this bed model, as well as the ability to separately purchase a spare mattress for long-term use. The main mattress is compacted polyurethane foam or its analogues, which are covered with a removable cover made of various materials such as fabric with water-repellent impregnation, vinylis leather, etc. As a rule, a certain type of mattress is made for a certain bed model, matching the size and number of sections to the mattress bed. The mattress sections are similar in size to the bed sections and fold in the same places. For beds without sanitary device Universal single-section mattresses made of flexible elastic material are also suitable. Such a mattress will bend anywhere, providing a comfortable position for the patient and protecting the body from corners at the junction of sections.

If it is necessary to use an anti-decubitus mattress, the latter is placed on top of an orthopedic mattress, which is mandatory element when using the bed. Putting anti-decubitus mattress Directly on the lamellas of the stock is not allowed.

2.Wheels

Almost all models of medical beds are equipped with wheels mounted on the legs with parking brakes. They allow you to move the bed within the hospital or move the bed in the room to increase the access area to the patient. When the bed is stationary, the wheels are secured using brakes.

3.Side guards

Many manufacturers initially include protective side rails in their beds. Guardrails prevent the patient from falling from the bed. Side rails can be folding, removable or folding; they can be easily lowered and do not interfere with the patient's rise or transfer from the bed to the chair.

4.Device for pulling the patient and Balkan frame

The pull-up arc and Balkansky frame not only help the owner of the bed independently change the position of the body, but also serve as a simulator for maintaining shape. People who are forced to spend almost all their time in bed are deprived physical activity and quickly weaken. Their muscles lose tone and can atrophy, causing weakness and the occurrence of concomitant diseases.
The Balkan frame is also used to treat traction fractures of the upper and lower extremities.

A pull-up bar installed at the head of the bed, as well as to the right or left of the bed, allows the patient to perform the simplest physical exercise, rising and thereby training the back muscles and upper limbs. If the patient cannot do this on his own, a relative or health care worker can help him do the exercises. To choose the optimal set of classes, it is advisable to seek advice from a physical therapy doctor, who will develop personal recommendations taking into account the patient’s condition.

5.Infusion stand for infusions

It will be needed if the owner of the bed needs to frequently insert IVs. She has compact design and is height adjustable for the convenience of the patient and physicians.

6.Bedside table

Another one useful feature, making life easier for people with disabilities. The design is installed on the side rails of the bed, and the patient can comfortably eat, read or engage in his favorite hobby.

7. Sanitary (toilet) device

For people who practically cannot get out of bed, a toilet device placed under the bed will be an indispensable option. It greatly facilitates the care of patients, allowing them to independently cope with physiological needs. The mattress of such beds has a removable section, under which there is a lift with a vessel installed on it. The lift mechanism can be mechanical or electrical - last option Only available on some electric models.

Popular manufacturers

Medical beds are produced by several well-known manufacturers of rehabilitation equipment. For example, products from a Belgian company, as well as analogues German company are widely popular not only because of their thoughtful design, but also because of their cozy “homey” design. Wall panels and the side rails in these models are made of wood, the sleeping place is externally as close as possible to ordinary furniture, fits harmoniously into the interior of the room and does not remind of the serious illness of its owner.

To others well-known manufacturers medical beds include Chinese companies and . In their extensive range there are models for every taste and budget, ranging from simple and reliable mechanical structures and ending with expensive high-tech devices equipped with cardiac chair functions, Trendelenburg and anti-Trendelenburg positions and devices for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

To choose optimal model, it is advisable to consult with the patient’s attending physician. At independent choice First of all, determine for yourself the necessary functionality of the bed, as well as the desired type of drive.
General recommendations for selection relate to the dimensions and load capacity of the device. Most models are designed for a load within 200 kg; There are also a number of models used, including medical institutions, which can withstand weight up to 250 kg. The size of the bed of most models of medical beds corresponds to the generally accepted standard medical equipment: approximately 190-200 cm long, 80-95 cm wide, height approximately 50 cm.

For patients non-standard sizes beds are produced with an increased width of the bed (100-150 cm) or with the possibility of increasing the length of the bed up to 220 cm. To facilitate patient care and for more comfortable lifting and transferring the user, a number of models are equipped with a function for changing the height of the bed (within 30-80 cm).

When choosing a place to install the bed, make sure that the patient can be approached from each side. This will make the maintenance procedure easier, allowing you to turn it over without any problems. sedentary person. It is advisable that the sleeping place is not under the window, but close enough to it, providing the patient with visibility and a good level of natural light.

A bedroom is a place where a person relaxes and unwinds, so all its arrangement should create an atmosphere of peace, quiet and pleasant bliss. The place to sleep should be as comfortable and convenient as possible. Often people cannot understand why their sleep is restless, and the whole issue may be due to the incorrect arrangement of the bed in the room. Therefore, it is worth knowing the basic rules of location sleeping place to get enough sleep and rest fully.

Whatever the size of the bedroom, the bed in it should be positioned correctly - with the headboard facing the wall. The only exceptions may be beds located on podiums or with a canopy.

It is not recommended to place the bed with the head of the bed facing the window. Windows in the bedroom should be equipped with light curtains for daytime or more thick curtains for the night, so the bedroom becomes a closed place for prying eyes. If the room is narrow, the location of the bed with the head of the window and the foot of the door is the only possible variant, which means it’s worth balancing the harmonious energy with the help of paired items on the window or by placing some furniture between the bed and the door.

If there are an abundance of mirrors in the room, you need to place the bed so that sleeping people are not reflected in them.

People who practice Feng Shu advise positioning the bed so that the corners of other furniture are not directed at it - these are the so-called “piercing arrows” that can harm a person.

Near the bed in the spouses' bedroom you should not place aquariums, vases with flowers, fountains or paintings (photos) with images of water, because water is considered a symbol of change and can lead to unwanted betrayals.

How the bed should be positioned in the bedroom (video)

Placing a bed in the bedroom and prohibitions on one or another location will also depend on the size of the room; the smaller it is, the more difficult it is to follow the above recommendations, but there are design techniques, about which a little below.

Bed in the bedroom interior (photo)

After all, we spend a whole third of our day and life in general in it.

A properly positioned bed gives us safety, the opportunity to rest and recuperate for subsequent activities.

If you sleep enough, but wake up tired, if your health has deteriorated, or your career is not going well, pay attention to the rules on how not to place a bed in the bedroom. Examples of placement and Feng Shui recommendations in the article.

Feng Shui is a very deep and systematic science, formed over thousands of years. Its goal is to make our existence harmonious.

How a bed shouldn't be

1 Foot to front door (position of the deceased), i.e. in a straight line to the doorway.

According to Feng Shui, this factor can create diseases along midline bodies.

If rearrangement is impossible, a tightly closed door, a screen in front of it, a chest of drawers, a cabinet, or a tall plant with rounded leaves will reduce the negative impact.

2. Opposite the mirror when it reflects sleeping people. In detail, how to hang a mirror in the bedroom so that it does not cause harm.

3. Adjacent to a wall with a door. This is especially important if you share a bedroom with family members or disrespectful roommates who have a different sleep schedule than you.

Whenever the door opens, you will have to wake up on high alert due to the unexpected sound and movement of the door opening. Ailments in the center of the body may also develop.

4. Adjacent to a wall with a door when the door blocks the view. You'll have to get out of bed to see someone coming in, instead of just raising your head if your bed is on the opposite side of the door.

It may seem to you that not seeing the door is normal for you, but subconsciously you will also experience anxiety, which creates an imbalance in nervous system. Results may include nerve problems, arrhythmia, and rapid heartbeat.

Additionally, repeatedly twisting your body to see who is coming in can cause neck and spine problems in the long run.

5. Headboard to the window itself, especially to the large, panoramic one. The window is the gateway between your bedroom and the outside world.

When you sleep with your head directly under the window, your sleep is easily disturbed by sounds from the wind or noise coming from outside, smells, light, and the movements of insects and birds.

When sounds, movements or smells are unfamiliar, your survival instincts kick in and can wake you up completely, making it difficult to fall back to sleep.

Feng Shui advises avoiding placing your bed under a window; this position provides little protection and creates anxiety and trouble.

Thick curtains can be a solution.

6. Share one wall with the toilet (bathtub). It's a bit like having a bedroom right under the toilet. If your bed shares a wall with the toilet, you may hear fluid moving through the pipes.

The adjustment is to use a thick (preferably soft or very substantial) headboard for the bed, which can minimize unwanted noises that disturb your sleep.

According to Feng Shui: can lead to a leakage of energy, vitality and wealth.

7. Share one wall with the kitchen. Heat from the kitchen, sounds of moving water, running refrigerators, other household electronics, and other noises reduce the quality of sleep.

In addition, the kitchen is an active area human activity, which can disturb your sleep with the clanking of dishes, pots and the sounds of other activities taking place in the kitchen.

According to Feng Shui, such a proximity, just as in the case of a toilet, leads to a loss of vitality, energy, and luck.

8. At an angle or low ceiling . They put an invisible pressure on people's energy, which turns into some kind of vague anxiety or feeling of contraction whenever you go to bed. This is especially noticeable if you sleep on the side with a lower arch.

A simple solution is to use a four-poster bed. The four pillars that surround you while you sleep tend to make you feel more protected from the downward pressure of the ceiling.

9. Under ceiling beam , especially with sharp corners. A beam that looks like a sharp object creates. Air currents, pushing off sharp edges, attack the sleeper.

Thus, the beam gives the feeling that your space is being chopped up, which can detract from a restful sleep. A canopy over the bed will also help, or repairs during which the protrusions are smoothed or rounded.

10. Under massive objects, hanging directly above the head or at the head of the sleeping people: chandeliers or bookshelves(more than 180 cm in height), for example.

Large objects make you feel depressed, experience involuntary fear, which provokes insomnia, stress, and musculoskeletal disorders.

Solution: hang the chandelier above dining table, and replace massive shelves with small ones. Or move the bed.

11. On the same line between the window and the door. This is the case when the bedroom is like a long “pencil case”; the bed seems to be standing on the roadway. Sleeping on such a bed is not comfortable due to the sudden movement of air currents.

How to fix:

hang a small multifaceted crystal ball in the center of the window at a distance of one and a half meters from the floor. A ball from crystal chandelier or a purchased Swarovski ball. Its edges will refract rays of light and disperse sharp currents of air and energy.

Place a lush one on the windowsill ornamental plant, it will stop the rapid energy of qi.

Place a screen immediately behind the bed in front of the door: the air and energy flows, going around the screen, will become smoother, and the atmosphere in the bedroom will be harmonious.

12. Near electrical outlets. They generate additional harmful energy background.

13. The footboard is adjacent to the wall. Feng Shui warns: a reduced range of visibility, when the gaze rests on a wall, reduces a person’s energy, his life vision, and intuition.

A wall at the foot of the bed can block your career and cause foot and ankle problems. The more space in front of your bed, the more your life expands, breathes and improves.

Summary

If sleep does not bring rest, there are problems in personal and social life, take into account the rules for placing the bed. Our health, well-being and well-being depend on how correctly it stands.

Elena Valve for the project Sleepy Cantata.

In the following publications: how to properly place a bed in the bedroom.

good and comfortable bed the key to sound sleep. Why a bed anyway? After all, in small apartments more comfortable sofa- bed. Doctors recommend a bed for a permanent sleeping place, because the sofa is more suitable for short-term accommodation of a guest who spends the night with you. The conditions in which we sleep affect the health of the spine, and as we age, this can become a problem.

Which bed should you choose? Very wide choose available on the modern furniture market. The beds use the most various designs ram.

Bed frame

The simplest and at the same time inexpensive option from long boards, to which they are attached perpendicularly wooden slats. When choosing such a frame, you should pay attention to the number of perpendicular slats; the more there are, the stronger and more reliable it will be. If the frame is made of a material such as birch or beech, do not hesitate - this frame will last you much longer, because this type of wood is distinguished by its flexibility.

Do not forget about the orthopedic standards for beds. Choose a bed that has frames consist of multi-layer slats, because they make it more elastic, which means that this will allow the spine to be positioned correctly, that is, in an even position.

Mattress

For maximum orthopedic effect use an orthopedic mattress. Remember that the mattress should be firm, but not hard. The store can offer you a spring and springless mattress. If your choice fell on spring mattress, it is worth noting that per 1 sq. m, the number of springs should be 220 - 260. Of course, it is better to choose such a mattress for a bed on which one person will sleep, because the weight on such a mattress is distributed unevenly, which means that while you sleep peacefully, your spine will suffer. For two people, a springless multilayer mattress is suitable; it is very popular and, of course, this mattress has a slightly higher price.

Additional functions

If you have money and desire achieving maximum comfort, it is better to buy a bed with adjustable firmness and change the angle of inclination. Thanks to this mechanism, it will be possible to raise or lower the headboard, as well as the central part or foot half of the bed.

You can show off your design skills when choosing backrests. Here you can find something for every taste, whether you want vertical or inclined, low or high, as well as solid or openwork. There is a choice of classic backrests with wooden surface and there are various types upholstery materials.
