Wall beds save space, there is no doubt about that – when it’s closed it has virtually no impact on the available floor space in your room. But just because something is space-saving doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on comfort.
The typical footprint of a folded wall bed is just the depth of the cabinet, which is always less than 45cm and often much slimmer. Naturally, with something so sleek you might expect the mattress to be very thin. After all, it has to fit inside the cabinet along with all the bed mechanisms, etc.
Most wall beds for everyday use have a limited range of mattresses. Typically these are less than 18cm deep (not that there’s anything wrong with an 18cm mattress), but the choice you get is quite limited. Not to mention the fact that you’re often tied to buying the mattress from the wall bed retailer.
As with all the products in the Furl range, we approach things a little differently, and we’re able to do this because we make everything we sell (there are a few exceptions). We put a lot of thought into the design, function, and durability of every new product we introduce.
The Furl wall bed at first glance looks like any other high-quality wall bed online, but take a closer look and you’ll see some subtle differences that add to its comfort.
Our wall beds are suitable for all types of mattresses – any size or material. Rather than being limited to the standard 18cm wall bed mattress, you can choose from a 20cm or 25cm mattress, or a deeper pocket sprung mattress. You can even use a latex or memory foam mattress with our wall beds.
We know a lot about what makes a bed comfortable. We’ve been making storage beds since 2007 so we understand what kind of structure is needed to properly support a mattress.
Our bespoke wall beds are made using the tried-and-tested sprung-slated system. In short, this means that the birch slats are gently sprung to work with the mattress.
The slats on our beds are adjustable so you can tweak the firmness under the lumbar area of your mattress, and of course, each sleeping side can be adjusted independently.
We’ve never liked the straps that hold the mattress on wall beds – they prevent you from being able to make the bed properly or tuck in the sheets. And we don’t like the fact that you can feel them under the bedding when you’re sleeping. So, we had to find a better more practical way to secure the mattress to the moving frame.
Without giving away any trade secrets, we can tell you that the Furl wall bed is strapless. We’ve designed a clever way to hold the bed’s mattress in place so that you don’t see or feel it.
We’ve put everything into making sure that our wall beds are just as comfortable for everyday use as any other type of bed on the market – the only difference is that when you’re finished using it, you can fold it away so it’s out of sight.
Like our storage bed and sofa bed designs, space saving is at the heart of everything we do, because we believe that furniture shouldn’t take up any more space than it needs to.
Our storage beds have very slim frames so that they only take up as much space in the room as necessary, and the same applies to our wall bed.
The cabinet’s frame has been made as compact as possible. Our wall bed frames are just 30mm thick, so it looks and feels solid without taking up any extra space.
When you fold away your wall bed, you’re left with a clear space to use however you like. If you need more room to work, and you don’t have the luxury of a home office, then consider adding a desk and shelves to your wall bed.
With our cleverly designed wall beds, you don’t need to consign your wall bed to the guest bedroom for occasional use because it’s comfortable enough to sleep on every night.
You shouldn’t have to sacrifice on comfort to save space and with our wall beds for everyday use, you don’t have to because they have a comfortable, quality mattress on a sturdy well-supported frame.
