Product Information

Storage sleigh bed lift kit mechanisms can be added on beds that have integrated storage under the mattress platform. They are used to provide easier access to the storage area under the bed. Due to space limitations, using an electric linear actuator from Progressive Automations was the best option for the bed lift mechanism since it did not require any large pieces of equipment, as is the case with hydraulic or pneumatic linear actuators. Before we get into the technicalities of the bed lift mechanism, how do you select the right linear actuator? The two main considerations are the force and stroke of a linear actuator. You will need a linear actuator that can handle the weight of the bed you intend on lifting. Four linear actuators will be used, which means the weight of the bed will be distributed among them (load per actuator = total weight of the bed / number of linear actuators). Bed lift kits all perform essentially the same function which is to lift the bed platform and mattress to enable easy access to the enclosed storage space beneath the bed. The key difference between the different bed lift mechanisms is the way the mechanism is powered. Over the past few months, we’ve noticed a serious shift in the dynamics of the home. No longer is the living room the epicenter of everything we do and where the family converges. That honour now rests firmly at the thresholds leading to all bedroom spaces. This compact space now sees the most action…where working hours and leisure times are blurring. We’ve all crafted a little corner in the home where we can multitask…and rightly so! Well, let’s say, all you needed for these multi-tasking activities in the bedroom was just one smart, functional, ergonomic and intuitive design? We don’t blame you if you don’t believe us…but hey, this is true.
