Murphy Bed Pros

‘Hi-Can’ You Sleep in This Bed with Sensory Overload

Admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 10:21:18 +0000

Ok, so THIS is the coolest bed I’ve ever seen. When you go meet with your architect, bring your Kohler faucet - AND the picture of this bed. A fully integrated multimedia canopy bed that you can build a house around. Those design masters of Italy did it again, creating a sensory isolation chamber. These Italians designed the Ferrari, then the Hi-Can bed, what next? (The Japanese have the lockdown on the Toto toilet - so we won’t go that far.)

How much is a HiCan bed? Unveiled at a show in Milan, the bed sat untouched with a price tag of about $40,000 - put that on your registry

Minus the tacky bedding, this 6-drawer storage bed makes it a fun way to sleep a little higher up, feeling like a king!

A Beautiful Murphy Bed Website

Having writing this blog exclusively about wallbeds, I’ve visited many sites to help share with the world some of my favorite products. I stumbled upon www.wallbedfactory.com and truly enjoyed how the site was designed. There are plenty of professionally designed and photographed rooms that help widen the imagination. There are also video tutorials on assembling your bed if you have it shipped from their center in OR, and they have some really nice modern pieces.

Try pulling your bed down from the ceiling. Not the wall, but the ceiling. Murphy Beds offer some space saving pazzaz, but you’ll be sure to impress house guests when you reach for the sky and make a bed appear.

A Spanish woman has died after her new temporary bed folded up and trapped her against the wall.

The 73-year-old from Bobadilla Estacion in Malaga, southern Spain, had only bought the bed a few days earlier ahead of relatives visiting her at Christmas.

Space Saving Loft Bed Solutions

I had a loft bed that I built in college that gave me room for two desks below my bed. Although it was a nuisance to scale my way up to the 6ft high bed, I found it a natural remedy to beer-goggling. If a girl was unfit to make into my lofted bed, she probably wasn’t meant to be there in the first place.

This bed gives you a little slack - it lowers graciously like a gentlemen, whether you’re too lazy to climb, or if you need to kick out your study partner.

Murphy Chest

The Murphy Chest seems like a neat idea, but I always wonder about converting a common dining room item into a bed. Imagine having guests over for dinner and coffee… then abruptly saying, “Janice, honey, you look tired… go ahead and reach under the creamer, there’s a handle to pull out the bed right here in the dining room. Go ahead put your head down while we continue socializing for another couple hours - don’t mind us one bit!”
