When they come out with the $1K version, I might just consider it, especially since my 2nd bedroom is my office & I've had to remove the bed from the room, leaving no place for guests. My only problem would be that I like to get up early & work, and my guests would still be sleeping in my office. I love it!

The bed is comfy (I've slept on it myself--it's wonderful when Hub is snoring and I need some quiet). You can fold it up with the bedding still on it--in fact, you can put fresh bedding on it a week before the guest arrives and just unfold it when needed.

Although at first I liked the idea, to me, it seems like it might be a lot of hassle if you were using this as an every day bed in a small apartment (especially since you'd have to find a place to store your sheets and pillows during the day)... if it were solely for guest use, then the hassle is manageable, but the price seems too high to pay for just guest use.

Are there prehaps clips to hold the blankets in place? Do you need a separate storage area for the pillows? I love the look of the picture you featured!!!! The TV ones not so much. I guess they are not designed for those who like to watch TV in bed - unless you used the footboard as a headboard. Does the bed have to be unmade?

Basically it's like a Tempur-Pedic. Which cost a LOT and are super comfortable. They are however also HOT because they don't breathe. But that's a whole other story. So depending on which season it is; your guests will be quite happy. If they're freeze-babies, they may never leave. It's a good mattress. What an attractive idea for a small space!!! @Sharon,

I've always loved the idea of a Murphy bed, but this is just a super-smart way to do it! I was already to be angry about the extra space needed behind the wall, but what they did was just inspiring!

In other pictures on the website there is carpet and they don't pull it up or anything. I imagine they just took the rug out of the picture so that you could see the bed better.
