When people begin to look at wall beds in Melbourne as a space saving solution for their homes, they are often surprised to learn that there is more than one type of bed to choose from – vertical and horizontal. What is the difference between the two, and which one is better?

Vertical

This is the most traditional formation for wall beds in Melbourne; the bed is stored vertically (upside down) and lowered into the room when in use, so that the head is against the wall. It is important to ensure that your ceilings are high enough to accommodate one of these beds and that there is adequate space in the room to accommodate the arrangement when it is open. They are often incorporated into useful vertical furniture, such as a bookcase, without looking out of place.

Horizontal

This is a more new version of the wall bed; the bed is stored horizontally (sideways) and lowered into the room when in use, so that one side is against the wall. These beds are commonly used in spaces that are not high enough to accommodate a traditional wall arrangement (such as an attic) or in spaces that require the bed to fit in lengthways (such as a hallway). They are often incorporated into useful horizontal furniture, such as a desk.

It is very important to properly assess the space that you have available when choosing between vertical and horizontal wall beds in Melbourne – whilst both versions are very similar, they do work in different ways and it is important to get your configuration right.

Many people see the wall bed as a thing of the past – they’ve been around for years and, as far as they’re concerned, their design has not altered or been updated at all. As many Melbournians are coming to realize, however, this bed is still alive and well – and for good reason.

·         Saves space: this is by far the main reason that people buy wall beds in Melbourne. As they fold up vertically, either into the wall or a deceptive piece of furniture, they are great for use in apartments or small units.

·         Functional rooms: instead of having a wholly devoted guest bedroom, your spare room can double as something else – have you always wanted a home gym or sewing room? Simply pull down the bed whenever you have guests.

·         Easy to use: it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to lower and raise a wall bed – even a child can operate this bed without any assistance.

·         Extra guests: whilst we generally only have one or two people to stay at a time, there are situations when you may be required to host a large amount of people. Owning a wall bed in Melbourne (or even two) will allow you to offer extra guests a comfortable place to sleep.

·         Save costs: as many of these beds double as shelving or desks, it saves you from having to buy extra pieces of furniture for storing your possessions.

If you live in an apartment or unit and would love to be able to have guests stay over on occasion, a wall bed in Melbourne could be exactly what you have been looking for. They can fit in almost any space you have free, as long as there’s room to fold them down.
