The Tables Are Turned Bed is the name given to a new
spare bed range especially made for the modern
apartment that's the size of a shoebox and has no room
for
both a spare guest's bed and a decent sized table.
In this case, the table has the extra mattress built into
the
space underneath
the actual top surface.
All you need do to convert it into a fabulous comfy bed is
to flip it over with the legs now pointing skywards, and
use
the table cloth as a screen that fits over the four legs,
providing privacy and darkness to the person sleeping
under its cover.
The Tables Are Turned Bed only comes in one size - long
and narrow.
Deluxe version plugs in to provide a heated mattress
surface.

Unnecessary if the family dog makes an unsolicited visit in the night-time... |
|
| |
[+] for an interesting new space-saving device; a sofa-bed, but without the sofa... |
|
| |
For tables smaller than the 2000 x 500 form factor, an additional mattress segment or segments could hinge out from the end(s) when the equipment is deployed, thus permitting a 1200 x 500 table to become a usable single bed. |
|
| |
What exactly about this idea is halfbaked, tho ? The only odd part is that Ikea don't already sell these... |
|
| |
I forgot to include that it's spring loaded, and at
the flick of a switch, bounces itself into its
inverted posture, flinging whatever was on the
table top in every direction. |
|
| |
But that would be a precursor to nothing less than a combined table and trebuchet, an innovation which your planet has awaited for far too long... |
|
| |
Think of the children ... |
|

<Thinks of the children, particularly the ones that were late to dinner, and then didn't eat up all their vegetables/> |

Yes... I knew this was you posting from the title [xen]. At least I would have placed a fairly large bet on it anyway. |
|
| |
[+] because its baked. Prooves the idea is good. |
|
| |
[kdf] Show me the table with a mattress attached
to the underside of its table top, so that when you
flip it over it becomes a bed, with the 4 legs now
pointing upwards. |
|
| |
I never knew that - the things we learn here at hb
school are brilliant. |
|
| |
//that sadly point out a possible flaw in your
idea// You do realise this the Halfbakery and not
The Practical Sensible Householder? I wear my
flawed ideas with pride. |

What you do in the privacy and comfort* of your own home is of interest to us only if someone will pay us for the details. As Michael Palin so elegantly stated it, " ... we don't morally censure, we just want the money." |
|
| |
And you should note that we have already bestowed a positive vote for the idea, and merely await its evolution into the Table Trebuchet; springs can fatigue with repeated duty cycles, but gravity is forever. Just remember to grease the axle pivots. |
|
| |
*Obviously if you are a sick, twisted pervert whose first thought of a four poster bed is not comfort and elegance but something involving straps and chains, your concept of "comfort" may diverge more than a little from the accepted norms. |
|
| |
It's certainly a superior option than being down and out, like [xenzag] is ... |
