The small size of most modern apartments forces owners to look for the most practical solutions for arranging rooms. This is especially true for rooms in which the bedroom is combined with a living room or study. One of the functional options is a bed with a folding mechanism, which can be easily transformed into another piece of furniture, hiding it from prying eyes and thus freeing up free space.

Advantages and disadvantages of a bed with a lifting mechanism
A bed based on a lifting mechanism is not only a practical thing in terms of price and space saving, but also an easy-to-use aesthetic bed that will provide its owner with a healthy and sound sleep.
The advantages of using such a design will be:
- Pthe simplicity of the system, which anyone can understand;
- PThe unfolding process does not require significant effort;
- Uthe design of the lifting mechanism allows you to fold the bed without deforming the mattress, which has a positive effect on its orthopedic properties;
- Navailability of additional storage space;
- The folding bed mechanism is reliable and durable;
- Eits use is completely safe.
The main and only disadvantage of using a lifting mechanism for bedding is the need to unfold and fold the bed every day. Any other drawback — a consequence of the wrong choice of the type of mechanism or its poor quality manufacture.
Types of mechanisms
There are several types of transformation systems. In addition to the differentiation into vertical and horizontal folding types, the lifting mechanism is usually divided into three main types.
- Manual
The mechanism does not have any auxiliary devices: lifting occurs entirely due to human effort. The cheapest, but the most durable. Access to the linen drawer is limited by the mattress. Price from 500 rubles.
- Spring loaded
A universal and inexpensive option. The lifting mechanism is based on the use of a coil spring system. The warranty period fluctuates between 3-5 years, as the springs gradually wear out and the entire mechanism becomes faulty. Price from 1000 rubles
- Gas
The most modern and functional version of the mechanism. Suitable for use even by a teenager, as it does not require significant effort: the rise occurs due to gas lifts, which are selected by power depending on the material, size of the bed and the weight of the mattress itself. Manufacturers provide a guarantee of up to 10 years. Shock absorbers are designed for 20 or more opening and closing cycles. Price from 2500 rubles.
Features of selection
In order for the folding bed mechanism to serve as long as possible, it is necessary to approach its selection as responsibly as possible. When evaluating it, it is necessary to pay attention to the following factors:
- Purpose. If you choose a folding bed mechanism for a child's room, then, despite the attractive price, a manual or spring mechanism will be inappropriate: the child will not be able to unfold and fold the bed independently.
Of no small importance when choosing is the correspondence of the materials from which the folding bed and the cabinet are made. 
They must be in harmony in design. - Dimensions of the room. Depending on the available space, vertical or horizontal type of lifting is used.
To create a cozy interior, there should be no dissonance in either the color scheme or the texture. If the items are well matched to each other, you will be able to rest comfortably without being distracted by inconsistencies. - Availability of additional parts in the kit. Blockers and amplifiers that go to a specific folding mechanism are able to protect a person from injury due to accidental activation of the mechanism.
The material from which the folding bed is made also affects its durability and strength. 
The most acceptable are OSB or MDF. They are more expensive, but it is worth it - you will not have to repair an expensive product. - Manufacturer. Not only a good night's sleep, but also the health of people who will use the bed depends on the choice of a quality manufacturer. It is necessary to approach the choice of the manufacturer with all responsibility.
When choosing a manufacturer, it is better to focus on well-established stores and factories. High-quality fittings will last a long time and bring pleasure from use. - Power of the mechanism on gas shock absorbers. If the choice is made in favor of a gas lifting mechanism, then its power should be selected depending on the operating conditions.
Gas shock absorbers are the most convenient to use, as they take on the entire load when lifting. 
Give preference to a bed with an orthopedic frame, as it will be lighter in weight. - Load. Some mechanisms can only be designed for a certain load level. It is worth thinking about what weight the transformation system should withstand in advance.
A small living space is not a reason to give up comfort in favor of practicality.

Hello! You have indicated the first method of the Mechanism on hinges with manual lifting of the bed to the wall.
But where are the specific examples of these mechanisms? Everything is very vague.. Just to indicate, and then rack your brains over where to buy or how to make. The only thing that is clear is that the bed is fixed from above with the help of locks or simple door hinges.
