DIY: Hidden Guest Bed. Platform Bed. Murphy bed alternative

We built in our guest room the ideal bed. It hides away neat and tidy under a platform. This bed is a great idea for studios, bachelor pads and small apartments. Just pull the bed out when you need it!

Amazing video! I've been looking for someone to develop this and I'm glad I came across your video. I'm going to try building one with my father in the next few months and see how it turns out :)

You guys are amazing! Can you please link or state what wood was used on the smaller pieces as well?

[@SeppnShelleyDIY]

We used pine wood on the small pieces. The step is made from a three layered plywood board. Thanks for watching😍

Glad you like the video😀

[@J_anderson_uk]

Amazing! Thank you for this. How long did it take you guys?

[@SeppnShelleyDIY]

We completed the installation in a single day. However, it's worth noting that the design, acquisition, and preparation process spanned several weeks, all done in our spare time.

[@danielwalkowiak4021]

Nice project. Could you tell us the name of the casters you have used for this (maybe even a link to the item). Keep up good work. Cheers.

[@TheHdarden]

Hi there -- would you mind sharing how much it cost you to build this out? I'm looking at doing one, but want a sense of costs.

[@SeppnShelleyDIY]

Hi, when we built this bed our costs were around 500€ (plus mattress). At the present time I’d expect the costs to be a little higher.

[@celeste1013]

P.S If you would like our free sketch just send a pm to [e-mail] and I’ll send you the pdf.

[@amjes1luv]

Did you use actual plans to build it? If so where can I purchase them?

[@SeppnShelleyDIY]

We designed the bed ourselves and unfortunately we don’t have a plan. We do have a rough sketch, if you would like a pdf of the sketch, then please send an email to [e-mail]
