Interesting concept for a collapsible bed, maybe for CT conversions or toy haulers.

Nice idea and workmanship, but where do you keep the mattress?

I saw a picture of the bed about a month ago and thought it was really neat...and then, like Paul, I was trying to figure out if it was worth the space savings if you had to store the mattress somewhere. I really, really like the the bed. Great innovative idea.

Perfect idea for a spare bedroom with an air mattress for infrequent guests.

Deflate, fold, store, and you have room for other activities.

Guests coming? Unfold, inflate, add linens and tadah... it's bedtime; and your guests don't have to get down on the floor to use the mattress.

Good idea! Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

The link (which may have been lost in comparison to the photo) says the developer uses it for medieval re-enactment gatherings. He uses a futon mattress, which I presume would roll up into a neat package. I think it's IKEA that sells some foam mattresses that come in a tidy roll.

He also says he worked through a lot of prototypes to get it to work right, so I'd suggest getting the article with the measured drawings.
