The mattress (shaped like an isosceles triangle with the top chopped off) allows for leg movement, stretching out and curling up. Since the body approaches the edge at an angle, it also affords a bit of warning before the occupant rolls off.
While taking up the same amount of floorspace as regular
singles when arranged in a line (alternating head and foot directions) as in a hospital ward or dormitory, ITB's generously provides the legroom of doubles or better.

Where does the trapeze fit in?
..and who is this Isoscele person? |
|
| |
(Annoyingly over-pedantic) Baked - all conventional beds are already isosceles trapezoids. |
|
| |
Excellent idea - particularly the conversion of a single to a double bed.
You'll need a footnote to silence the pedants: "Ignoring the special case of rectangular isosceles trapezoid". |

I have the perfect sheets for this bed (these beds)! Unfortunately, the margin is too small for me to describe them here. |
|
| |
Some beds might be parallelograms. |
|
| |
Does this come with a Procrustes (TM) bed attachment? |
|
| |
Very good, 4whom. Shit, no square brackets on Android
keyboard. |
|
| |
Actually it'd work just as well on doubles; though the effect wouldn't be near as pronounced, they'd give a bit more room for expansive night tables at the head. |

Stand still a sec, I think I've got an isosceles trapezoidal 2x4 around here somewhere. |

Admiral Ackbar is pleased... |

If it were a right-angle trapezoid, it would fit better
against one wall. |
