When we changed the guest/sewing room into a schoolroom, we lost our guest bed. Since then, I've been looking for a bed that will work for us. Right now, we have a small room (the old school room) that could be used as a guest room. It will fit a full size bed easily, but have no room for anything else, other than, perhaps, a bedside table. However, we are planning to rip the walls out of that room and combine it with the hallway and part of the shop to make a ‘man’ room. We could put a daybed in the playroom. Right now, we have a futon in there. And, the futon does provide sleeping accommodations, but it is getting old, and is not entirely comfortable. I’m very concerned about the comfort of our guests. I like this bed.
It provides 2 twin beds, plus storage. However, it is not a day bed. It is a storage bed. I like the idea of storage beds. With a storage bed, I could store the guest linens in the drawers. Or, we could take down the toys shelves and put the toys in the drawers. We could also use them to store video games and videos. But, it wouldn’t look right in my playroom. I refuse to have a guest bed that doesn’t fit into the surroundings, just to have one. Plus, if we have guests that want to sleep together, they would not have that option. The other option we have is to put a wall bed in the man room. I’m We’re planning on putting paneling on the wall and we could disguise the bed as paneling. Then, move the chairs out of the way when we have guests. Someday, I will figure out what to do. Any suggestions?

Guest Bed

I think a Murphy's bed is the best space saver combined with guest comfort. My in-laws converted my BIL's old bedroom into a den/war room for my FIL (looks really nice) and for my BIL (when he visits) they bought an air mattress with a built in pop-up frame. He said that it's comfortable, but the twin size seems wobbly, so there's the feeling like it's going to tip over. Perhaps a queen size wouldn't seem as instable, but I think a Murphy's bed would be better. You could have book shelves on either side to look built in and disguise the bed storage.
And I do think you should do the month's resolutions. But I'm biased.
I'll be doing my new year's resolution tomorrow probably.
Everything you said, is what I'm thinking. I've never slept on a Murphy bed before, though. We'll need book shelves in there, anyway. Surely, there will be some reading done in this room. So, using them to disguise a bed would be good.
