Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of clamshells. Typically, the frame at all clamshells are made from steel or aluminum, but as a framework can serve:

    
* Stretched fabric;  

 

stretched fabric on springs (classic clamshell);
 

Strung on springs, steel slats (rather lamer can act steel grill);
 
  cot with a base of wooden slats (multilayer wooden plates);
 
 combined version - stretched the springs fabric and wooden slats.
 

The most affordable - it's lightweight, compact models that can be used without mattresses. These include the clamshell without slats. They do not occupy much space, can be sold with a small height mattress or no. Ease of clamshells - the minimum. Such products are used for a short rest and infrequent use.
Least durable clamshell of only one tissue. Tissue may eventually sag, and the seams can separate. In such clamshells is necessary to pay special attention to the quality of welds and the material of the fabric. The indisputable advantages of such clamshells are the smallest size when folded, and the smallest weight (frame usually made of aluminum). These products are essential for cell rest when the size and weight are very important.
Classic clamshell with a basis of springs and fabrics too may eventually be rendered unusable. Especially if the manufacturer uses low-quality materials for the manufacture of springs. The springs are stretched and the tissue begins to sag.
Cot with a base of steel slats can be called a budget option. They are inexpensive, but it does not provide sufficient rigidity, and eventually begin to sag.
For a thorough rest, choose a clamshell with wooden slats. But it is better if this will be a combined version - stretched fabric on the springs and slats of wood. These clamshells provide sufficient rigidity basis and in combination with high mattress provide an opportunity to fully experience all the charm of a comfortable stay.
When selecting a folding bed, note the components of the "fundamentals clamshell. Better if the fabric on a folding tent will, polypropylene.
Wire diameter springs must not be less than 2 millimeters, the diameter of the spring - 12 - 15 millimeters. If you plan to use a cot in the open air, make sure the springs are galvanized for rust protection.
When extra space for folding No, you can purchase a model folding beds three in one (day - it's nightstand or desk, at night - a berth). 


Before buying a cot not forget to pay attention to how comfortable it is formed and decomposes. If in the unfolded you have any difficulties, it indicates a poor-quality gear. The presence of wheels - an additional plus, the cot will be convenient to move from room to room. Check out how comfortable you will be on her bed, lie down, feet should not overhang, and the mattress from sliding. If you are all triples, you can safely buy goods. Such a folding bed will be a perfect home and at work, and in the country.
