Interesting.

As British Homes get smaller we'll be seeing more of this.

 

edit, just a thought, where do you keep the douvet and pillows.

Will the price premium on these cleverly designed products negate any benefit over a larger home?

[Triassic]

You'll be seeing them in IKEA very soon, cheap as chips.

There is a hotel we use for meetings which have rooms with similar furniture. The room is used as a bedroom at night but once the person has checked out it is converted into a meeting room with desks in the daytime. Nothing is moved in or out of the room. It really is a very clever design. 

[RichS]

Yes, a very clever design, but as @Triassic points out the bed needs a douvet and pillows to be any use so it's not quite as simple as they'd like to make out, plus all the other bits and pieces you have in a bedroom, like wardrobes for example.

As a student I lived in a bedsit for a time that had one of those sofas that converts to a bed.  All I can say is that it was PITA, it took ages to sort out the bedding to allow the thing to fold away and wasn't very comfortable either as a bed or a sofa.

Exactly, just like holidaying in a camper van or small caravan where the seats become beds, with all the associated farting around.

Perhaps of some value for a room primarily used a study / infrequently used as a bedroom?

Probably the best application, I think.

 

I know that as a (sometimes randy...........) student the folding sofa/bed proved exceptionally frustrating in more than one way

I find an inflatable airbed pretty good for sleeping on.

Fits in the back of the car too, turned my old Scenic into a camper for 50 quid.  That included a shower as well.

I hope that it had tinted windows ?

[SteamyTea]

Insulated curtains.

But the kind of places I go to, you don't need them.

I think they are good for studio flats, too.
