Small Space Furniture #16: High Tech Hideaway Bed And How It Works
You probably haven’t seen a hideaway bed exactly like this one before.
It’s a little different than your average murphy bed because of the way it works. One touch of a button on the remote and 35 seconds later you have a bedroom.
The unique feature is that you don’t physically have to fold your bed out although you will need to grab some sheets and a pillow!
But seriously the bed is perfectly hidden in the bookcase unit. And it slides out in a very unique way… You’ve got to see:
Watch the video below.
In the video below you can see exactly how it works.
For more information on this bed, visit the company, The Concealed Bed.
I like the concept, one of the better variations of the murphy bed concept. The power feature IS nice but what happens when (not if, it WILL fail) the power drops. Unless you’re a self generator, or even grid tied with a transfer switch to deal with power company requirements, you either can’t get to your bed or you can’t get rid of it unless there is some sort of manual override designed in. Won’t go to the website as I’m afraid I’ll find out the price and I’m sure it’s up there.

Wow – this is awesome. Makes my low tech bed seem like a kid building with Lego’s! But I like it. Did you see my lowly version?

Debra your version is awesome… and way simpler. I like!
I agree David, some parts of it are kind of scary. Like the price and reliance on power.

I looked at Debra’s version earlier this morning; simple, dual purpose, as fail safe as the hand of people can make it, and even manages to look good doing it. Great job and I bet she manage to keep costs significantly less than the high tech variant the post refers to.
