SICO EuroBed Mechanism and Frame

.

I consider the most unique feature of the SICO Eurobed to be overlooked by even the most Critical examination. The calibrated spings that provide the counterbalance lift power, are synchronized to come into operation at different positions as the bed is lowered. This ‘staged cantilevered’ action keeps the bed from operating like all other Wall Beds, (like a screen door!)

James opens crate and locates leg for bed and baseplate for floor attachment option.

James has also located the buckboard for mattress retention and wall bracket option.

James demonstrates a single person can easily lift this frame, slat foundation and cantilevered power mechanisms.

James demonstrates the ease of adjusting the tension for lifting the bedface and mattress weight perfectly.

The built in wood slat foundation has a permanent steamed bow that flexes and compliments any American mattress. You do not need a box spring!The extruded metal frame is ribbed for rigid spans from head to leg at base of bed. The leg has a dual purpose. Support of the foot end of the bed off the floor, and securing the mattress to the frame when the bed is raised into storage. Three different lengths of leg are available to make the clearance under the lowered bed increase from 7” to 12” to 13 3/4” The longer length legs are used on the popular Sofa & Bed designs. But, the most important characteristic of the SICO Eurobed is it’s compact storage measurements.It can store in only 17”, stand only 4” higher than the mattress, and store in less than 3” more than the mattress width. Extension into the room is only 9” more than the mattress size you choose.
For a wall bed system with all the features shown on our specification sheet, this is the FlyingBed model meant for tight spaces!

The Eurobed can easily lift most bedface treatments. From solid wood raised panels to our popular Bedface Table. You would sacrifice ease of operation if you added the weight of a solid mirror bedface. It would be better to use the powerful SICO Room Maker if this was your design selection. And a final note. Sleeping Comfort. You really do control this feature. It is the mattress you select! We really don’t care which manufacturer you use, as long as these two points are taken into consideration when you buy.

1) Thickness. The thicker the mattress, the greater the storage depth required.
2) Does the mattress ‘belly’ when stood on it’s end. That’s a bad sign and usually associated with inexpensive models. Upgrade your selection.

This short letter illuminates points not found in the technical specification sheet. Even after that examination, if you have a thought not addressed, give us a call or email. Thanks.
