Wall & foldaway beds — full furniture model with gas spring position highlighted in red
APPLICATION MODEL · Red highlights the gas spring position. Mounting layout varies by mechanism.
WHERE IT WORKS

Between the fixed cabinet-side mechanism and the rotating bed-frame linkage.

The gas spring balances part of the rotating bed load through its opening and closing path. Horizon supplies the spring component and selected end fittings; the complete bed linkage and its structural load rating remain specific to the bed mechanism. For lift-up beds with storage underneath, see storage bed gas struts.

Eyelet end fittings; the pivot bore and final mounting centers are matched to the mechanism
Connection detail: threaded eyelet end fittings. Match the pivot bore, thread, width and mounting-center reference.

Vertical / lengthwise opening

A full-height bed rotates out from the wall cabinet.

Horizontal / crosswise opening

The bed rotates about its long side; use the matching mechanism specification.

Mechanism replacement

Replacement gas-spring orders use the mechanism brand/code and fitted piston details. Mattress size alone cannot identify the component.
