Features of a crib with a pendulum

Modern models of cribs for newborns are produced with an additional mechanism - a pendulum.
The main feature of these models is their special oscillatory movements, which are very similar to rocking a baby in the arms of its parents. The pendulum mechanism starts independently at the slightest movements of the baby. This function helps the baby calm down and fall asleep faster. The main condition that must be met when installing a crib for newborns with a pendulum is not to install the crib with its moving sides close to the wall and do not forget to install the latches.

Types of pendulums

Pendulum mechanisms differ from each other in their swing trajectory.

There are several types of pendulum:

Longitudinal. Creates oscillations of the sleeping place back and forth.
Transverse. Rocks the crib left and right.
Universal. Perform longitudinal and transverse movements.

Depending on the model, the amplitude of the berth's vibrations ranges from 5 to 15 cm. To prevent the crib from constantly swinging, the pendulum mechanism is equipped with a blocker.

Varieties

When lifting the bed frame with mattress, some effort is required. To simplify the process, manufacturers use various mechanisms. The most common include:

Manual. The base of the bed moves using hinges that are fixed to one of the sides of the bed. The mechanism is simple, does not require repair, is characterized by reliability, durability, and affordable cost. The operation of the structures is only available to adults, as it requires strong physical impact.
Spring-loaded. The device is small in size and weight compared to the manual version, and is inexpensive. The furniture is designed for 20 thousand lifting and lowering, but over time the coil springs lose their elasticity, so they will have to be replaced with new ones every 2-3 years.
Gas shock absorbers. Reliable, easy-to-use devices consisting of a rotation axis, gas lifts and metal plates. The structure rises and falls silently, safely, withstands high loads, and is designed for 70–90 thousand operating cycles. Among the disadvantages are high cost, a slight decrease in the aesthetic properties of furniture, and problems with visually determining the quality of the device.

A brief overview of the types of accessories for beds, tips for choosing.
The most affordable and simplest mechanism for raising a bed is considered to be manual, but its operation requires high physical effort. Twisted springs are durable and easy to use, but cannot boast of durability. The highest quality and most comfortable to use is a gas shock absorber. In addition to safety and reliability, it lasts for a long time.

General recommendations for assembling a crib with a pendulum

Preparatory work

It is best to assemble a crib for a newborn in the room where it will be located. This way, you won't have to move it from room to room.
Remove the original packaging.
Place large parts of the bed to one side, small parts to the other.
Place small parts on a light-colored fabric or in a tray.
Prepare the necessary tools.
Before assembling, be sure to read the instructions, familiarize yourself with the diagram and watch the video on assembling the bed.
Check the completeness of parts and accessories according to specifications.
Before assembling, wipe the varnished coverings of the crib with a dry, soft cloth. To remove transport dust and give the bed its final appearance, flannel, cloth, and plush are suitable.
Do not neglect the preparatory stage, as these actions make the work easier and speed up the assembly process.

Main types of faults in upholstered furniture fittings

Fittings, like any other thing, can fail over time, no matter how carefully you treat them. Therefore, we will look at the main types of faults in upholstered furniture fittings, and also give advice on how these breakdowns can be avoided.

The most common problem is the deflection of fiberboard in the furniture frame. This problem can be solved by replacing the slab with wooden slats or more durable plywood.
Creaking is a fairly common occurrence. The source of unpleasant sound may be unlubricated working elements of upholstered furniture. The solution to this problem can be regular lubrication of mechanisms. For these purposes, you can use machine or household oil.
Breakdown of the transformation mechanism is also quite common. This often happens due to clogging or unreliable fixation of the mechanism itself; the problem is solved by cleaning or re-fixing the mechanism. In the worst case, you will have to replace the entire mechanism.

Tips for choosing

Finding the right lift bed is not a difficult task. However, to purchase high-quality, durable furniture, you will need to take into account some nuances. When choosing, the following criteria are important:

Dimensions. Single models are made in the form of a compact ottoman, designed for installation in a corner. The products are equipped with spring or gas lifts; they are great for children and teenagers. In furniture with dimensions of 140 × 200 cm, the mechanism is located along the entire length, allowing one adult to rest comfortably. Large double structures with dimensions of 180 × 200 cm are designed for two people. Despite their impressive dimensions, they help save space during the day.
Operating mode. Take into account the regularity of raising the bed - daily or occasionally.
User's physical capabilities. Single models with gas and spring systems are relevant for children, 140 × 200 cm are suitable for teenagers, and adults can transform double beds.
Price. Purchasing expensive lifting mechanisms for a bed is only advisable if you regularly use the bed. If the product is rarely lifted, affordable hand-held devices are suitable.
Reliability. The most durable mechanisms are those on hinges, which is due to their simplicity. Almost nothing can break in them, so repairs and replacement of parts will not be required. Elements made from high-quality materials can last for several decades.
Safety. Experts recommend giving preference to mechanisms equipped with locks that protect against spontaneous lowering of the berth. This criterion is especially important if the furniture will be used by a child.

Although Italian-made lifting mechanisms are popular, domestic products can also be of high quality and durable. When choosing the appropriate option, you need to pay attention to real consumer reviews.

Large beds with gas shock absorbers look ideal in spacious bedrooms. An original addition to the interior will be models with a non-standard configuration: round, oval, with a large soft headboard. For small rooms, wardrobe beds or models with a horizontal lift are suitable. The children's room does not need large furniture; the optimal solution would be a single-bed design.

Rules for using the crib

Make sure the crib meets certification requirements.
Remember that the manufacturer is not responsible for defects that arise when the buyer does not comply with the rules for using a child’s bed. Such defects include mechanical damage (breaks, chips, etc.).
Operation of the crib is permitted in dry, ventilated areas at a temperature of 10-28C and a relative air humidity of 50-70%.
Large fluctuations in temperature and humidity, dampness and close proximity of heat sources cause accelerated aging of the paintwork, warping and deformation of the wood.
All parts must be secure and the screws must not be loose to avoid injury.
