Cabinet for bed with convinces.
When the bed is up, there are three layers; closest to the wall is a storage area, then the mattress, then the shelves.


I like the fold down desk. Very simple, just supported with rope on either end. Important that there be a latch!
The storage area is shelves and an electronics panel. The panel will have lights, power and usb and speakers. There will be a space to store pillows when the bed is up. And above that shelves for other storage. I also want a trash can under the electronics panel. It would also be nice if there was a fold down desk in here.


I want light and shelf space near the head of the bed. Also a shelf to hold the pillows during the day, but form a little shelf for charging gadgets, holding gadgets and such at night.
The mattress needs to go up and down easily, but it may not be bad to begin with, and if it is, I should be able to add some springs or counter weights. Lauren requests that there be a latch.


I would also like a fold down desk in the bed for a computer or breakfast. More shelving space could be located behind this (perhaps for sheets).
The shelves will be desk style. So the shelves always stay parallel to the ground. When the bed is up, they're just shelves, when the bed is down, they are safely stowed below the bed.


Under the mattress, there should be a few springs arranged such that there is no tension on them when the bed is up and maximum tension when it is down, this should significantly reduce the force necessary to raise the bed as well as prevent it from slamming into the ground.

Build in a set of speakers (maybe the Monsoons) for when we have a laptop in bed or Lauren wants to listen to music.

When the bed is up, there are three layers; closest to the wall is a storage area, then the mattress, then the shelves.

The storage area is shelves and an electronics panel. The panel will have lights, power and usb and speakers. There will be a space to store pillows when the bed is up. And above that shelves for other storage. I also want a trash can under the electronics panel. It would also be nice if there was a fold down desk in here.

The mattress needs to go up and down easily, but it may not be bad to begin with, and if it is, I should be able to add some springs or counter weights. Lauren requests that there be a latch.

The shelves will be desk style. So the shelves always stay parallel to the ground. When the bed is up, they're just shelves, when the bed is down, they are safely stowed below the bed.
