Types of designs of beds with soaring effect
Hovering furniture freezes in the air thanks to specific mounting methods.
- On one leg. A hovering bed can only have one support in the center of the base. Decorative lighting distracts attention from the leg, which is already almost invisible because of its location. Sometimes rays diverge from the central support, which allow you to evenly distribute the weight. With this mount, the product can withstand a load of up to 300 kilograms.
- On the magnets. The author of the floating furniture on the magnets is the Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars. The designer's idea is based on the principle of magnetic levitation. Magnets are mounted in the frame of the product and on the floor, which hold it in the air. The soaring sleeping bed remains in place thanks to four cables. A bed with magnets is capable of supporting up to 600 kilograms of weight. It is not suitable for people with pacemakers due to the magnetic field.
- On a metal frame. The main advantage of the metal frame is the reliability of the fasteners. The metal frame must be powder coated against corrosion. Typically, the metal frame is closed with a body made of MDF, solid wood.
- Suspended from the ceiling. The bed can be fixed to the ceiling with strong ropes. This design has increased security requirements. For a children's room, it is recommended to use steel cables instead of rope ropes.
- Attached to the wall. The headboard attached to the wall will give the structure additional stability.
“Flying” furniture looks weightless, as if defying gravity.

The most popular decor option is soft upholstery made of tapestry, leather or textile. Upholstery is carried out in the form of a carriage screed, decorated with rhinestones, photo printing. The role of the head can be performed by a wall with soft three-dimensional panels.
From wood
Solid wood furniture, depending on the decorative processing, can perfectly fit into any interior. Products with a wooden base are lighter than beds made of MDF or chipboard. This is an advantage for hovering furniture, as less weight reduces the load on fixtures and supports.
Double
Levitating bed, thanks to the reliable design of the fasteners, can easily support the weight of two adults. The length of the berth is calculated based on the growth of the one who is higher in the pair plus 10 centimeters.
With lifting gear
Thanks to the lifting mechanism, a storage place appears at the base of the sleeping bed. Unfortunately, this design makes the product heavier and requires additional reinforcement of the supports.

Bedroom
