Adaptive space-saving bed snaps into ceiling when not needed

- At the beginning of the 20th century William Murphy patented an idea of a “disappearing bed” (among others) and the wall bed, pull down bed or fold-down bed was popularized in America. In Europe, the 21st-century equivalent is the ceiling bed. In 2004, Parisian designers Décadrages released their version of the hovering bed with BedUp.
Retracting into the ceiling, their designs can save up to 30 square feet of floor space, transforming one room into two: a living room becomes a bedroom, a child’s room becomes a study space, or a studio becomes two rooms.
Unlike a Murphy bed which requires a clear space to lower the bed, the BedUp can be lowered over furniture (with some height restrictions) without any rearranging. And you don’t even have to make the bed. “With the Murphy bed you have to attach the mattress, remove the pillows…”, explains BedUp designer Alexandre Grison, “with this thing the bed can be used exactly as a normal bed, you can make the bed or not you can leave the pillows, you simply lift the bed when you want space.”
Grison aimed his design at city dwellers in places like Paris where every square meter is accounted for. “The bed takes a lot of place and it’s only used about 8 hours a day and it’s a lot of room and it’s not used so why not use it.”

Thank you Kirsten for all your awesome stories; they are very inspirational. And to the commenter I like the audio. I don't find it to be annoying - in fact I've never even thought it as an issue.
Thanks Jim for coming to my defense, but I do think I can improve on the audio (I spend so much time cutting out audio hits that shouldn't be there... need to figure this one out). Though I do agree that there is no "perfect" with this stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This would be amazing in a tiny house. I'm pretty sure people would choose this over a loft any day. I know I would.
It can be also a visitor's bed that's in use only when you have a guest for the weekend.
The counterweight system is the system used in old windows in the USA. You can just pull it up or down with one finger, the counterweights are in a hidden compartment behind the window frame.
This is an absolutely fantastic, functional bed. Three beds in the office space still leaving more room to move about. The desk bed is wonderful for a small room. Such ingenuity.!!
This would be such a good idea for dorm rooms, so cool
+cera bradley That is such a great idea!!!
In the US there are a lot of obese college students. It wouldn't work if they exceeded the weight limit for the device.
@@Rallosz There is no weight limit, the only weight limit is for the mattress, you are not sleeping in the bed while it's on the ceiling.
Cool design - one of the most workable "disappearing" bed designs I've seen. (I also really enjoyed the quasi-ballet of rising & descending beds in the later part of the video.)
Very cool, I like the idea of having a bed that stows away, while you have an office bellow.
Wow, that's just brilliant! I love this space saving idea. Thanks for sharing :)
My sister just got a micro home in Tijuana Mexico it is empty right now and is really small. There are new government programs for low income people in Mexico and the houses are getting smaller than ever so people can afford them. 20000 USD to be paid in 20 years this also includes the small land. Love your videos.
Oh my I am so in love. Kristen you find the best homes & furniture ideas.
I loved this. It's partly because it's in Paris, and he has that yummy French accent. But, it's also such a great idea, and the lines of these beds are beautiful. Thank you, Kirsten, for finding, filming, and posting this one.
I like it. Space-saving ideas are always welcomed.
LOVE THIS BED!! I am designing my own Tiny home! The Murphy bed is also the way to go in a tiny space. Also the Murphy table!!
Nice! I like how the bed camouflages with ceiling when lifted up. Can't tell it's bed.
Such an odd idea for a bed. Really cool. I don't use UA-cam as much as I used to so don't get a chance to watch all of your videos, but the ones I do see are always great!
This would be great for an RV. Except I'd like to see the counterweight replaced with a spring tensioned pulley system to save overall weight.
👋Back again 2yrs later! Still the best space-saving bed I’ve ever seen. Has anyone fitted these in a narrowboat? I think that -weight and ceiling height - notwithstanding- it would be a perfect marriage in these small spaces.
dude... this kind of bed is perfect for SINGAPORE!!!!!! Did you know singles like me getting a house only one bedroom and one living room. And this is one perfect solution. I like how the weight distribution, and safety lock, also, gosh........ PERFECT!!!!!!!!
an excellent use of space -and a bed out of they way
It is the best of the Murphy bed and that high tech floating bed. I love the teen room version.
hey Kirsten! i love the videos you make of tiny homes and things related to space usage. the 'bed up' video is great. Obviously its in Paris, any idea if there are stires selling same or similar products in Canada? Keep up with the great videos, they truly are inspiring me in so many ways!
3:16 The moment I thought that the bed extinguished the candles.
This is a GREAT GREAT IDEA.
this channels is so great. I remember when she had like 6k subscribers. Like few months ago.
+inYourFace I've been following that channel for years, I had not realized the amount of subscribers she gained until now. It's insane!
+h4ppy3nd I know! it's like I have lots of updates from my subscriptions, and every time I click on one of her videos, it's always something cool and interesting. So far, I'm keeping this channel on my top list! :)
I guess people are starting to see the appeal in small spaces, so that'd explain it! I loved her older videos as well, but I can see how the channel is evolving and that's nice! :)
+h4ppy3nd agree. you can tell she knows about the subject. it's exiting to find new forms of the things we are used to.
coming from a man. it's great thoughts
The best designs are oftentimes conceptually the most simple. Wonderful!
I like the idea. It's fresh and innovative but my concern is how do you make sure that ur ceiling is clean and has no mites or dust, which in case of wall folding beds is not a problem because one can always access the area to be cleaned. And adjusting to new bed heights could be an issue but this idea is praiseworthy nonetheless.
I wouldn't completely rule out the murphy bed (the new designs are very creative and can actually fit things under them when opened), but I do like the idea of using air space over ground.
I would love to know how much this costs in general-I wish those things were discussed more on these shows.
The fact that this is impossible to find out, says it costs too much. I'll just make my own.
I like it. Could use it in an RV
Think the same
@@edlab me too,
awesome, you can see how lightly it moves. What's the cost + shipping to the states? ty
Well thought out. Nice.
This all great. I love it. People who live in theses all apartments also often have small money. What can we do?
it's brilliant. What is the minimum height needed from floor to ceiling? and how much does it cost? my studio apartment is very small. It's only around 27 m2 semi gross included the bathroom.
They ought to put art on the underside of the bed! Like paint a mural
Really cool! i love space-saving stuff like this. Thanks for sharing!
Great video... Answered most of questions with the exception of one... What about extra curricular activities? Can it support kids using it as a wrestling ring imitating their favorite wrestler jumping off the top rope? Mutually important, can it support two passionate adults lost in the heat of the moment (if you know what i mean)? While very practical, leaves me with the question of it's fitness other than sleep. The legs don't look like it would be able support the motion of the ocean (for a lack of better words).
Definitely something I will consider when I buy my own tiny flat. =)
J'ai fait faire dans un petit studio à Paris.C'est super ,beau et pratique.
Nice concept ! I guess if you are really on a budget though, you can just do what many japanese do and sleep on the floor ! And then put the bedding in a closet during the day !
Or leave the bed and put the office on top of it... lol
Ceiling beds have been used in motor homes for over 30 years. They are raised and lowered electrically. They make a lot of sense.
Most innovative I've seen thus far.
Great ideas!
I've seen another youtube video that featured a tiny house that had an electric version of a ceiling bed instead of a loft. These are great for infirmed (or older) people who want a tiny home but hesitate because of the loft.
If only they could make a human that could fold up when not performing any constructive purpose. We would have lots more space in Washington DC.
this comment is so much win
Forgot the name but they are made in China
@@lalakuma9))) b "9 7
Lol
Don't worry, they're working on making humans obsolete and using robots & AI
I rented a flat in Notting Hill London that had this exact bed. I loved it! I've never seen one in the States though.
I would love having this in my tiny flat!
would perfer this over a loft anyday .wish i could do this to my model train set.
This is a fabulous invention! Beautifully done Décadrages!
I have an idea - a roll-under bed. Stick one bed under another bed, and roll out the second one from under the first when you're ready to sleep. If you have two bedrooms, no problem, just cut a hole in the wall to fit it!
Excellent full coverage. Scary prices I would have to imagine. So, now we pirate their good idea, thank you.
This demo room has 3 beds. I LOVE IT!
Liked before watching, and of course :) no regrets.
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW GREAT IDEAS.....Love them....all......!!NOW THESE would be wonderful IN a tiny house....instead of those lofts...with ladders.....YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ; ) ....( my idea )
+Josephine Tyree Yes it is true!!!!!
there are murphy beds now that you dont need to move the furniture and some that transform into other furniture like sofas/desks/bookshelves.you can even put your home comp on the desk and not have to move it as it cantelevers int the bed.really cools uses of space.this 1 shown here i like as well.
This is an old idea from the early 20th Century (1916?), called the Sorlien Bed. The Sorlien bed actually retracted, at least partially, into a ceiling recess.
I wonder how many times they move those beds up and down each day
I'm very impressed.
I feel really happy when i se this youtube clip of the beeds, fantastic!
At 9:00 they all go wacko and keep pulling /pushindg the beds! I couldn't count how many times :D
cool ! I like that idea of the bed going up & down.
Tks Kristen. I really like your videos that provides all the possibilities for small space. Someday Im gonna use these ideas. :) Im from Taipei,Taiwan (>15m2 appt costs quite the same like Paris), also lived in Paris for awhile. So I really understand the necessity to use the space smartly to make small appt so so so cozy.
PS: i don't find the audio is bad. is it? except the bed keep moving, that makes me dizzy. ha.
Basically an idea in use for several years in Motor Homes for a lot less.
I bet those are crazy expensive.
***** Oh I don't know :(
+skyboundmisfit brilliant
+skyboundmisfit how do you make bed stay in place just like in the video?
+skyboundmisfit DAMN IT MAN YOUVE GOT IT! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT LOOKED FAMILIAR AND ITS A LAT MACHINE! IN FACT, MODIFYING AN ACTUAL LAT MACHINE WILL BE LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE $4K PRICE TAG PLUS SHIPPING FROM FRANCE TO THE US ! THIS BED IS GOING IN MY CONTAINER HOME PROJECT LATER THIS YEAR!
***** can you make a drawing based on what you've said?
very cool, especially like the single bed version with the desk and tv, seems the more useful option. still terrified it would fall on me though
would LOVE for this to be available here in the usa!!!
This would be neat, if possible, to put in a tiny house. I'm disabled & can't climb a ladder. So it would work because I don't plan to have a loft in my tiny house. Something to show the builder indeed. Hope he can do it.
Love all the creative ideas!!!
great video I think this is a very real usable option especially in a small apartment!
tiny homes need these!
This design has been built DIY in a Tiny Home, you'd have to find it here on UA-cam somewhere. Actually it's been done by The Tiny House Company - they have a Facebook page.
brilliance
I noticed that the price was never mentioned.
I would want to feel that I had a proper bedroom that was my sanctuary.
Great video. Doubt the ceilings rushed flats in South East Essex would handle the weight. mores the pity as we would love one of these.
tbh the one person bed is the best one
nice upload
its seems sensible for having up/ lift beds, as beds are for 8 hours in use and rest space can be left free,
kristen we have many common interest like EV, Solar. do keep posting.
i am interested for trading of such products in India. do advice if possible.
This would very handy in a tiny home or camper.
It's a shame they're not supplying America yet, this would be fucking revolutionary here, especially in a lot of these modern city apartments. Murphy Beds can save space, but can also be very monotonous to move everything out of the way every night.
Cool... However, Murphy Bed would be better, I Think. Construction needed for this bed. I guess both??? Great Space Saver!! I like the last one. Price in USA Currency???
That kids bed would be perfect for my daughters room
this is pretty genius... but I would be so afraid of being pushed against the ceiling during my sleep because of some mechanical disfunction... would this be possible though?
Freebird No, it’s not mechanical :)
I really love this solution.
Sydney Housing market would love this !!
Clever design! In older buildings the ceiling can be very high though....
Should be easy to solve with hook to pull down and push up the bed to a level where you can grab it.
Or a rope to pull it down.
jjovereats Having a rope dangling from the ceiling might not be to anybody's taste. And it might even be an annoyance with kids around. Kids are bound to tug on it and test if it there for playing Tarzan.
That would be actually be an added value (at least for the kids) :-)
Archibald Tuttle Not really. Because of this well balanced mechanism, they would most likely pull down the bed and crush the breakfast on the table. ;)
Only 500 pound weight limit? good luck selling in America....
+Anon its the weight limit for the mattress, no? ;)
Well the fatasses don't get cool toys. OH WELL
good luck waterbeds
Unless Americans sleep by themselves. 2 people in the USA weights more than 500lbs.
Does anyone hear them self? I'm 100 I could fit 5 friends tyvm
I really like it; a genius idea and design!
Wow! Great ideas!
great idea for a mobile home
+bicycle X The walls and or ceiling in a mobile home would not hold that bed and your average American couple.
+Tinder inc and your average american couple, im crying so true hahaha
+bicycle X are ceiling heights in a typical American mobile home restrictive already?
+Jügren van der Kaas I'd say most are probable barely seven feet.
Jügren van der Kaas 13 feet
good sales pitch!
great space saving idea. well done.
If they did that in a hotel you could have your kids in there with you WITH SPACE still.
How about single parent homes where a parent cannot afford multiple rooms?
Shared children's bedrooms with less fights maybe?
Any other ideas?
A lot of cruise ships have something similar built in. So do a lot o RVs. This isn't a very original idea.
Even if not an original idea - it's a good idea (of someone's sometime).
A 4m x 3m apartment. Like my dorm room in university.
Where do you hide your suitcase?
good day enjoyed your product
I wonder how often they break down and if you are at risk of getting a 150 kilo bed in your head or unable to put it up or take it down.
Could u pls tell me what is the mechanism or machine used to lift the bed
Its amazing !!! Really brilliant !!! Good job.
Brilliant Just Love it and Love all Your Videos Ms Kirsten :)
coloquem legenda em português pois sou do Brasil e não sei falar inglês,porém adoro o seu canal bjs e parabéns
I am waiting for the inexpensive Ikea version of little desk/closet/pull down bed
So very cool!!!
