When beds are equated with sleep quality, happiness, etc., the prices become more and more outrageous, from thousands to tens of thousands, with no upper limit. When you visit a furniture store, your wallet will cry for help...

But if we look at the essence, we will find that: our real need is to have a "comfortable sleeping environment". Buying a bed is just a means, not an end. The bed is just a frame to support the mattress.

At this time, we can "reconstruct the bed" from a new perspective, and you will find that the bed has many "new possibilities". For example, the "beds" below have advantages that traditional beds cannot achieve.

This is Musk’s first principle, absolutely top-notch thinking.

1. Iron frame suspended bed

When I was looking at the bed, I was fascinated by the appearance of this suspended bed. The invisible bed frame is matched with a circle of induction light strips under the bed, which is high-end and has a sense of atmosphere. I asked the merchant about the price, and the bed frame alone costs four or five thousand. The legendary carbon steel suspended bed is indeed extraordinary.

I lifted the mattress and looked at the structure. It is actually the four bed legs that support the bottom are hidden under the bed frame, so there is a floating bed. The merchant said that at this price, the cheap ones are unstable and creak when you sleep.

I said yes, but I was thinking: It's just an iron frame. I can go back and ask if there is a craftsman who can weld a stainless steel frame. It will probably cost a few hundred dollars. Sure enough, I should save the money. I searched for a blueprint online, and within a week, a craftsman had made it. It was stable and firm.

The sensor light strip is even simpler. You can buy it on PXX today and it will arrive tomorrow. The sensor is also very sensitive. I also specially put anti-collision strips on the four corners of the bed frame, and the four bed feet are also equipped with soft pads to prevent friction with the floor tiles. Finally, I put on a solid color mattress and sheets. The appearance is amazing! How can it not be considered a success to do something worth thousands of dollars with a few hundred dollars!

Some online stores sell finished products directly, with all the gripping pads and screws ready. They are packaged and mailed as a set, so you don't have to wait. If there is no physical welding store nearby, you can buy it online in one step.

2. Folding bed

Inspired by the office of cattle and horses, this folding bed is specially used for lunch break. It is quite convenient and practical when placed in a small study room.

The bed frame and mattress are foldable and can be stored in the storage cabinet when not in use, which saves more space than a sofa bed.

It is easy to disassemble and move by one person, and it is very useful for those who rent a house.

3. Telescopic bed

When the width of your guest bedroom is less than 3 meters, the conventional bed and wardrobe layout is definitely not feasible, otherwise you will not be able to move freely after putting down the large bed. Considering that the guest bedroom bed is not used frequently, we can consider using a retractable bed.

When in single bed mode, there is even room for a desk, so you can switch between a study room or a leisure room at will.

And when elders or friends come over, it can be turned into a double bed by pulling it open, which makes the people sleeping comfortable. It really shows the art of hospitality.

It can be used with two folding pads, and you don’t have to worry about the mattress!

4. Basement

Tatami is no longer popular in small bedrooms. This platform bed is more popular. The area of ​​the platform can be freely determined, blurring the boundary between the floor and the bed. The bed is where the mattress is. This is simply a way to expand the visual space of the bedroom.

If your house has already been renovated, there is no need to spend a lot of money to redecorate the platform. We can directly borrow this idea, buy a bed frame, and get a substitute platform bed!

By laying a thick carpet next to the bed, the child's play space is expanded. The bed frame is only 20cm high, so there is no need to worry about children falling even without a fence.

5. Slatted bed

If the height of the platform bed is acceptable, open your mind and we have a more cost-effective bed package - a slat frame bed.

I think the biggest influence on sleep is whether there is a comfortable mattress. As for the bed frame, there are only two requirements: firm and breathable, and the slatted bed meets both.

Another type of invisible bed frame is only two or three centimeters thick and can only be seen when you get close to the ground. It does not accumulate dust and does not require cleaning.

6. Logistics pallet bed

The ultimate in bed frame replacement --- the logistics pad is used as a bed, which can be done within 200r. I really admire the first person who discovered it. This is not only cost-saving, but also durable and environmentally friendly. It can hold hundreds or thousands of pounds of goods and has more than enough load-bearing capacity for several people to sleep.

Put the mattress on it, and it's a perfect bed! The sawtooth skirt is also quite nice~

Put on the fitted sheet and quilt cover, done! If you feel the head of the bed is too bare, you can also buy a separate bed backrest, so easy~

7. Floor

This is the ultimate DIY for making a bed. You and I both know the joy of sleeping on the floor. Who hasn’t slept on the floor when they were young? I don’t know if it’s because it’s more down-to-earth, but sleeping on the floor makes people feel better.

The simplest way is to keep it simple. If the floor is too hard, you can use a few cushions to make a bed. During the day, you can put away the quilt and create a multi-functional area.

8. Air mattress

It is made of PVC material as the airbag, with a layer of flocking fabric on the outside, which is particularly skin-friendly. When in use, it can be automatically inflated by plugging in the power supply, and it can be fully charged in three to five minutes.

Moreover, its hardness can be adjusted by the amount of inflation to meet the different needs of people who like to sleep on a hard or soft bed.

When not in use, just deflate it and fold it up like a bed sheet. It doesn't take up space in a storage cabinet, and you can just free up a small room for a leisure area. If you buy a traditional large bed, this small room can't be used for anything, and it will be full if you put a bed in it.

Another advantage of air mattresses over traditional regular beds is that they are easy to carry and can be placed wherever they are needed, even in a small room for entertaining guests.

It can be placed in the living room, or used as a seat anywhere when gathering at friends' homes.

What’s even better is to take it out for camping, use it as a moisture-proof mat, pair it with a tent canopy, and lie there leisurely for an entire afternoon!

Compared with traditional large beds, air mattresses do not need to be odorized and do not emit any harmful gases. The price is also really cheap. A few hundred dollars is already a very good quality. Why not buy one?

9. Sofa bed

As the name suggests, it can be folded up to be used as a sofa, and can also be unfolded to be used as a bed.

When you are struggling to decide whether to use an extra room as a second bedroom or a multi-functional room, a sofa bed can help you solve this dilemma. It can be folded up when no one is sleeping and used as an ordinary sofa. It takes up little space and still has room for activities.

If you have friends and family staying over, you can just unfold the sofa bed and put on a bed sheet. Considering that it is used for sleeping, it is better to buy a sofa bed with a little firmness.

Sofa beds are not only suitable for small bedrooms, but also can be used to replace sofas in living rooms. Think about your sofa at home, which position is the most comfortable? It must be the chaise longue, a place that every family must fight for. When you get home from get off work, you can lie down directly, put your feet up, and watch a soap opera, and the day's work is over!

The imperfection is that there is only one chaise longue, but there are ≥2 ox and horse seats. No need to fight or squeeze, we can solve the problem directly from the source. Replace it with a sofa bed, and the whole family can lie down and watch TV, and give a massage to all the muscles.

Moreover, if you compare the prices of a sofa bed and a sofa with chaise longue, the price of the electric footrest is higher, so you can be happy if you buy a sofa bed.

10. Supermarket Pallet Bed

This bed is a good thing I discovered when surfing the Internet (proud face)

The blogger used supermarket pallets to make a small bed for the BJD doll. Although I don’t play with dolls, I directly copied it and made a small bed for my four-legged furry children that is full of ritual sense.

I also bought a storage rack, placed it sideways to use as a bedside, three logistics pads together, and a pet mattress of the same size.

The exclusive crib for the furry kids is ready! Put it on the bay window in the bedroom. Good friends should always be there for you!

Everyone has different lifestyles and values. Some people may like these plans, while others may think they are not up to standard. However, “no life is worth living” so just choose the one that suits you.
