How to Choose the Correct Weight Capacity
Selecting the proper preset weight capacity is important for smooth operation.
The gas springs must match the combined weight of:
-
Mattress
-
Platform deck
-
Bedding
If the mechanism is rated too low, lifting will feel heavy.
If rated too high, closing may require extra pressure.
If you are unsure which capacity is correct for your build, contact us before ordering and we will help confirm the proper selection.
Designed for Side or End Lift Applications
Selby’s storage bed mechanisms are a perfect storage solution for side or end bed lift installations. The 36″ units offer flexible mounting options, allowing you to configure your build based on room layout and wall placement.
