Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of a hiddenbed?
In a nutshell: you're buying space and flexibility! You actually create space because there's no need for a permanent bed, a fold-away bed, sofa bed or similar. At the same time you gain a fully functional desk and stylish built-in office furniture. And unlike other contraptions, you don't have to clear away anything, to make space for the bed. You can practically use the desk or the bed, at the drop of a hat.
Will things fall of the desk when it is transformed to a bed?
No. The unique balancing mechanism keeps the desk horizontal at all times. This means that you could leave a cup of coffee on the desk throughout the transformation without spilling a drop! We think that's quite impressive.
Is the Hiddenbed safe?
Our system is designed with your safety in mind. It is a perfectly safe piece of free-standing furniture and will be assembled correctly by our installers. However, some people may prefer to attach Hiddenbed to the wall for extra peace of mind.
How reliable is the mechanism?
The patented Hiddenbed balancing mechanism is very rugged. It's the heart of our system, and has been designed to last some 10,000 cycles under normal use conditions. Based on daily operation, this equates to more than two generations of use, which is probably more than you'll ever get out of any other piece furniture.
What makes Hiddenbed superior to other alternatives?
We believe there are no real alternatives to Hiddenbed. You need to consider that fold-away beds, sofa beds, futons and the like take up valuable room when not in use. This basically amounts to wasted space. To use fold-away beds, you first need to clear floor space, then set up the bed and finally put the bedding in place (which has to be stored separately).
With Hiddenbed you gain space because you use the entire room space all the time – either as a bed, or as a desk.
How affordable is Hiddenbed?
In terms of a cost/benefit analysis you'll probably find that Hiddenbed is the most affordable option on the market. You'll essentially gain several pieces of furniture – a substantial desk, a comfortable bed, cabinetry, shelves, and drawers - while also saving a tremendous amount of space.
