Full Bed Single Bed Bed over Couch
Built-in bedding can be utilized in order to reduce the size of bedrooms or to even eliminate the need for a bedroom altogether.
Attached are drawings which exhibit the following:
Full Bed Pull Out
This full bed unit would appear to be built into an exterior wall. Actually the exterior wall is extended out seven feet and slopes down at a 45 degree angle to end at a height of three feet. This cavity then holds the bed on wheels and a rail so that it can be pulled out at night. The cavity above the bed would hold pull-out drawers and would have a storage cabinet above the drawers. The entire unit would be concealed behind sliding doors during the day. This unit drastically reduces cubic feet traditionally devoted to a full bed and accompanying furniture.
This bed unit would take up 7 feet by 3 feet of floor space. The system could either be free standing or built into the wall. It would be similar to a captain’s bed with drawers underneath and storage and shelves over it. Note that it has four feet of sitting space between the bed and upper cabinet. It could even have a pull around curtain for those that sleep in the daytime or those not able to make the bed each day.
This unit is similar to a sideways Murphy bed. It would stick out about eighteen inches from the wall, but over a couch so that no floor-space is lost. At bedtime the unit would simply drop down and the built-in ladder would be extended. The couch would still be available for sleeping on.
