A low futon bed might be the answer to this question. A low bed is a bed that has a frame that is lower to the ground . The benefit of this is that it opens up any cramped room and maximises the potential of the living space . Furthermore sleeping near the floor keeps you cool since hot air rises. Therefore low beds would be ideal attic or loft rooms as it would keep you cooler compared to your average bed.

The feedback we get from our customers is that they want to sleep as close as possible to the floor , sometimes without the use of a frame. But the issue with this is that a mattress needs good ventilation and be able to breathe. One product we have designed based on this customer feedback is the shiki futon bed base. This is one of our lowest platform beds measuring just 7 cm in height. The idea is the raised mattress allows for good ventilation. The bed comes in three panels for ease of access and transportation. If this is a bit too low for you we have an upgraded version called the Nepal platform bed base which is raised by timber legs to give a higher platform and also can be handy for under bed storage.

The most adaptable product we offer in the low bed category are the Zen Stacking Beds. Zen stacking beds are two single beds that stack on top of each other and are held together by nylon locating pegs. The reason why this product so adaptable is firstly the space saving element through the ability of storing two single beds in the space of one single bed. Secondly you can maneuver the beds into a L shape sofa , two single beds or push together to form a double / king size bed. Zen beds are ideal for attic rooms where you would be looking to sleep two people or for occasions such as christmas when you would typically have loads of family over.
