Each hotel room is designed for a certain number of beds, but to meet the needs of customers in case of unforeseen situations, it is necessary to have an extra bed. The main goal of the hotel business is to create comfortable conditions for guests to stay in the room, so the availability of folding beds, as well as additional sets of bed linen, towels, pillows and blankets is mandatory.
This type of service provides a high level of service and ensures that customers will be satisfied and return to the hotel. There are several types of folding beds, but they all have a General principle of unfolding and compact storage if necessary.
Types of extra beds:
Depending on the number of stars in the hotel and the class of room in which you want to provide an extra bed, a folding bed must meet the high requirements of convenience, safety and reliability. The bed frame should be made of high-strength steel and be designed for high loads. Folding design should have additional protection mechanisms against spontaneous folding.
We recommend to buy an extra bed, taking into account the characteristics of the hotel rooms, which will accommodate a bed.
Extra beds can be:
- Folding with wooden slats, high mattress and wooden headboard, which assembled can be used as a pedestal.
- Folding plywood on a solid base with mattress and no headboard.
- A compact armchair -bed, which can be permanently placed in the room and used as a chair or unfold into a bed if necessary.
- Vertical beds – continuous designs with a mattress and clamps for storage and transportation by means of wheels in vertical position.
- Cots size 60x120 cm.
- Folding sofa
For tall guests, as well as guests with a large weight must be provided with beds longer than 2 m with a reinforced frame, designed for heavy loads. Choosing a bed to take into account the weight of the client and the possible load on the structure should be mandatory, as safety is the most important criterion for the quality of service. An uncomfortable bed with an unstable design is unlikely to make the client happy, which next time can use the services of another hotel.
Additional beds of folding type have a strong metal frame, designed for a load of 100 kg. The Base can be solid plywood or MDF, or prefabricated lamellas.
The extra beds have an average size:
- in the unfolded form 1900х800 mm, mm 1970х900;
- assembled 800x1100 mm.
Beds with slats and removable mattress for vertical storage are as comfortable as possible. This design allows you to push several beds one into one and minimize the space occupied in the utility room during storage.
Design features and characteristics
The most common and popular is a folding bed with a mattress. This bed can be stored vertically and do not have folding mechanisms. A big plus of this design is its stability, reliability and smooth sleeping surface without bends and creases. Among the shortcomings can be noted only large dimensions that require more additional storage space.
Folding beds with mattresses occupy much less space, have special clamps that protect against spontaneous folding and unfolding of the structure. In the assembled form can be stored in the utility room in a special protective cover, which provides reliable protection against dirt and dust accumulation.
One of the options for an extra bed is a chair-bed. The design features of this furniture provide for its use as a comfortable chair assembled. The disadvantage can be considered only a small bed, which will be comfortable mainly for children.
Advantage of using
The use of folding beds in the hotel is a prerequisite for comfortable living conditions. Situations that require unplanned accommodation of an additional guest in a room that does not have a reservation, there can be many. A hotel that respects the rights and desires of its clients must have material support to meet any needs of the client.
If there is no extra bed, the hotel can lose regular customers and spoil the reputation. Each guest is important, so all guests need to provide comfortable accommodation even in unforeseen force majeure situations.
Before you buy a folding bed, you should pay attention to the reliability of the design and its stability. Save on the bed cannot be, as uncomfortable, unstable and small bed comfort during the stay will not provide, and therefore as a result, the guest may be dissatisfied.
Only high-quality, soft, stable bed, selected in accordance with the complexion of the guest, ensures that the client will be satisfied. Choosing furniture, we recommend to take into account the various situations that may arise and consider options for their solutions in advance. The best solution is to buy different models of beds of several sizes that can meet the needs of different customers.
Features of storage and operation
All folding beds with mattress can be divided into two groups: folding and non-folding.
Folding structures in the assembled form occupy a minimum of space, equipped with wheels for transportation and special clamps that provide protection against unfolding of the structure.
Non-folding beds also have special wheels for transportation and are stored in the utility rooms in an upright position.
To protect against dust and dirt, it is recommended to use special protective covers. It is also worth noting that the non-folding beds have special locking straps, which can be fixed with an additional pillow and mattress, so that they do not fall in an upright position.
