Types of Hanging Beds

- Ceiling. The most commonly used type of mount, reminiscent of a garden swing. Anchor loops are mounted directly in the ceiling or in beams, if placement is expected in the attic.
- Combined. It is the most reliable and safe type of fixation, which, thanks to both ceiling and wall fixing, provides maximum structural strength.
When choosing fastenings, the static and dynamic load of the suspended product is taken into account, for example, for the installation of baby beds, the combined type of fixation will be the most suitable option, when one side of the bed frame is adjacent to the wall and the other is attached with holders to the ceiling.
