Hanging Beds - Zero Gravity Sleep

Hanging beds in our minds are associated with outdoor recreation, where you can relax, swaying slightly and enjoying the scenery around. Such designs return us to a carefree childhood, when you could lie in the cradle and not think about anything. Today, the hanging devices of beds are so diverse that they can equip a bed in any room:

If you decide to opt for an outboard bed model, you need to consider the following points:

• they are quite mobile and sway from the slightest movement. This may not suit everyone;
• for children's rooms it is better to install additional fasteners;
• their installation is more complicated and more expensive than traditional models.

Nevertheless, hanging structures save space, provide an original look in the interior, if the bed is made according to an unusual design and harmoniously combines with the style:

Types of Mounts

Hammock beds can have a round or rectangular shape, be single or double, as well as bunk. Rectangular beds are a heavier construction than round models. Therefore, the mounts for them should be more durable and reliable.

Ceiling mounts

When designing, it is very important to correctly calculate the static load that the suspension structure will bear. Anchors mounted in the ceiling must be selected from durable metal alloys that can withstand the considerable weight of the bed:

Then ropes or metal chains, cables are suspended from the ceiling mounts. At the base of the bed, through special holes in the corners, ropes or other devices are threaded and fixed. It is important to consider that with this method of fixing the bed will swing:

If the interior has open ceiling beams, then the anchors can be successfully mounted in them:

Wall mounts

If for some reason you are not comfortable with ropes or chains, you can fix one part of the bed on the wall. To do this, you need to correctly calculate all the attachment points and consider a way of additional support.

Combined method

The method in which the bed is attached simultaneously to the ceiling, to the wall or to the floor is the most reliable, therefore, more suitable for children's rooms:

It is possible to build fasteners with the help of corners from floor to ceiling, and instead of traditional rope parts use decorative carved elements:

An additional anchor fixed to the floor can also be located in the center of the bed base. This will give another level of protection against swaying:

As a stand under the base of the bed, a podium or window sill is perfect:

Where to place the hanging bed

The most suitable place for a hammock bed is a porch or terrace. This is a great opportunity to relax, relax and enjoy the views of nature:

A great option is to place a swing bed next to the pool. Imitation of an ancient Greek stove bench will allow you to plunge into the historical past in the appropriate interior:

How to choose a mattress

Since hanging beds are heavy structures, the mattress must be selected high enough, dense and at the same time light. When installing the bed, it is necessary to take into account not only the height of the berth, but also the height of the mattress, in order to provide for the possibility of climbing freely on it. When swinging, this is not entirely convenient. If the bed is not intended for everyday use, then the mattress can be of average height and density:

And in the case when you intend to use this piece of furniture more often, then the mattress should be strong and voluminous:

It is not necessary to choose a mattress that fully matches the size of the base. If it is smaller than the bed platform, then the free space can be equipped with a stand for various little things:

Hanging bed designs are most suitable for people who like to experiment and appreciate originality.
