Product Information
Product Overview
The wide-arm bed base mechanism is a scissor-arm system that raises the lid of an ottoman storage bed. The arms are set wide apart: because the two points contacting the lid are further from each other, the load spreads over a larger area and the lid flexes less as it rises. It is preferred on wide and heavy bed base lids.
Product Advantages
- The wide arm spacing spreads load over a larger area, so the lid flexes less as it rises.
- Provides a more balanced lift on wide and heavy lids.
- Its scissor structure raises the lid along a smooth arc.
- The perforated arm profile offers fixing points at different bed base heights.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wide-arm and narrow-arm?
The difference is the spacing between the arms. In the wide-arm type the contact points are further apart, load spreads over a larger area and large lids flex less. The narrow-arm type takes less space inside the base and suits smaller bed bases.
How many are used in one bed base?
The mechanism is fitted in pairs, symmetrically at both sides of the base. Send us the size and weight of the lid and we can determine the right arm type together.
Which bed base sizes is the wide-arm type used in?
It is used in double and wide bases. As the arm opening increases, the lid is supported across a broader area, which reduces twisting on large lids.
Does the lid hit the wall as it rises?
The scissor arm carries the lid up first and then backwards. Even so, if there is a picture or shelf at the head of the bed, the open height should be checked before installation.
What material is the wide-arm bed base mechanism made from?
The scissor arms and the body are made of steel with an electrostatic coating. Because wide lids put more load on the arm, the section is sized accordingly; we can manufacture other dimensions and materials on request.
