Murphy beds. When we hear the name we think, "Hidden in the wall," right? Not so with these hidden beds, as they pop out from here, there and everywhere.
Our first entry, pictured above, lowers just like an elevator. As the retailer notes, there's no need to move any furniture when it's time to use it.
This next bed takes up more room than a ceiling bed, but it IS hidden. A shove of the bookcase reveals all!
This one is a home theater/bedroom combo.
Of course if you want to watch TV in bed, you're out of luck.
With the bed in the down position, the space looks like a traditional bedroom.
If only every college dorm room would look
like this.
How about this crazy combo? A zipper foam-y thing that hugs bookcase cubbies during the day, only to be pulled apart and reassembled on the floor. (I think it's totally DIYable, no?)
Okay, the bed isn't hidden for
this next entry, but it was too cool not to include in our roundup. The bed in this home slides to the side and reveals a spa bath.
And for the Dr. Who fan:
And, finally, is this table turned bed. I spotted it an
an antiques website. It was called the Ta-Bed, and, by the look of it, it was kinda genius. Of course, you had to stash the mattress elsewhere.
Table to....
bed.
