The SwingAway bed is our most popular and cost effective wall bed system. It has been designed for the DIY enthusiast and therefore does not require a skilled person to install the bed, which is easily done by attaching it to the floor & wall. Once the bed has been installed, it can be used immediately. The SwingAway system has a patented, counter-balanced sprung mechanism working with the weight of the mattress allowing a safe, light and easy finger touch action when lifting up and down.
The SwingAway bed is a simple to assemble DIY wall bed, requiring only a few basic tools and fixings. The SwingAway’s versatility allows it be used almost anywhere. It can be used on it’s own, or can ‘hideaway’ behind a curtain, blind, or cabinet. Cabinets can be retro-fitted at a later stage to house the SwingAway wall bed.
For over 20 years, Hideaway’s beds have all been supplied using spring mechanisms for safety and reliability reasons, whilst other manufacturer’s systems use gas struts fitted to the head-end of the bed. Springs or gas struts are used in order to counter-balance the load of the bed when in the upright position or when moving to or from the down position. Gas struts contain nitrogen under extremely high pressure and can also sometimes catastrophically fail without warning. Learn More …
