Putting up rocknroll bed

[Chajoma]

Our bed goes down really easily but it takes a considerable amount of effort to get the middle up far enough to be able to make it back into a seat.

 

Has anyone come up with a clever way to make this easier or is it just mine that it's difficult on?

It is possible to add a gas strut, like you find on boot doors, to assist with lifting the bed back into place. I don't think there is any kind of off the shelf kit, it would have to be bought to suit.

 

There are also electric rock and roll beds that have a motor to drive the bed up and down. 

 

I find the best method of getting the bed back up is to pull on the cord (assuming you have a cord attached to the bed?) and then give the front edge of the bed a good shove with my legs. Trying to get the bed to lift upwards by pulling a cord at an angle is never going to be easy to do, but this combination gets the initial movement it needs and then allows it to go back into the upright position easily.
