Bed fitting gas springs, also known as gas lift cylinders for beds, are gas-filled mechanical devices used to assist in lifting and lowering bed platforms, particularly in storage beds. These springs work on the principle of pressurized nitrogen gas and oil to generate force and allow smooth, dampened movement.
When installed in the bed frame, these gas springs make it:
- Easy to lift even a heavy mattress with one hand
- Safe to hold the platform open for storage access
- Smooth to close without sudden drops or noise
Unlike traditional hinges or springs, gas springs provide controlled motion, enhanced durability, and a premium experience. They're the preferred choice for today's hydraulic bed systems, widely used in homes, apartments, and hotel furniture.
