Whee! Look what I just learned how to do using my excellent Photoshop skills! The bed goes up up UP UP UP over and over! It’s like a freakish offspring of Fark and Redfin! Redfark? Oooh, I’m getting a wee bit nauseated. But anyway. Let’s be serious. It’s kind of a neat idea for a bed oooh I’m really getting dizzy but I’ve lived with a Murphy bed before how do I stop it make it stop and in my experience, it’s a lot more like this:
…but instead of Chairs popping up when you’re in your jammies, about to get into bed, it’s giant spiders. But nobody wants to see that, so for this morning’s post the part of the giant spiders is being played by Chairs. You’re welcome.
Found by: me. And just to be clear: the original listing isn’t animated, more’s the pity.
Loveliest comment, by VB: Can’t sleep. Bed will eat me.

Spiderbed, Spiderbed, does whatever a spiderbed does…
Apparently, all it does is make you nauseous.
“Go Go Gadget Bed!”
Winner!
If Tiger had a bed that did that he’d still be married.
I would LOVE to live there!!! It is way awesome!!! Loved the yoga studio.
Fantastic, best LL posting ever. Especially creeped out about the spiders though.
I don’t see the point of having a bed that drops from the ceiling. It’s not like you can use that floor space for anything else. That pulley system is just one more thing that can break right before you’re ready for bed. And then it’s the couch until you call the Hide-Away Bed repairman…
Well, I always wondered what $1000 per square foot would get you.
I was personally hoping that there’d be more “Wow!” in a 2.3 million dollar home, and less, “That’s nice.”
A Murphy Bed and a small kitchen. Okay. I guess if you can afford that place, you can likely afford to eat out for almost every meal. Plus, the Yoga studio has a view.
Yeah, no wow. Go figure.
You use that space for the card table and folding chairs, and have your friends over to play bridge. Just try not to worry about the Bed of Damocles hanging over your head!
Well, it’s not like it’s in an area known for its earthquakes or anything.
Yeah, personally, I’m more worried about all that glass right next to the bed. It would be bad enough to wake up because the earth is shaking, you don’t want to also be showered with broken glass at the same time.
Can’t sleep. Bed will eat me.
FTW!
This is just a cheap version of the ”crushed by roof-simulator” in the more expensive one, the roof is coming down instead.
Granted space is tight on a hillside like that, but the rest of the house seems roomy enough – and very upscale. I always wonder how people live in a place like that. Do they ever leave dirty clothes around, or stacks of papers that must get seen to sometime? Or are their lives as spare and elegant as their architecture?
In my experience they don’t spend anymore time than is necessary in their own homes. It’s basically just a place to sleep and occasionally have a dinner party.
We used to enjoy cruising through the rich neighborhoods. 7 or 8 at night and the houses would still be dark. I think they had to work so hard to afford the mansions, they never actually got to spend any time in them!
To me, being rich means never having to winch your bed down from the overhead storage compartment to sleep.
To me, being rich means having to keep the lights in the house turned off around 7 to 8 at night so that kristen55 will finally stop cruising around my neighborhood.
Oh. My. God. That closet. Want.
No more monkeys jumpin’ on the bed…EVER!
Sara, you rock. That is all.
haha its cool and all..but whats the point xD u cant really put anything under it coz ur gonna have to lower the bed every night! xD
i guess u could if u were like playing something and needed space, but honestly who plays in the bedroom? haha. if u hav people over id imagine you’d stay in the loungeroom type areas…
Now I have a place to hide my corps-er- I mean bodie- uh, dead people!
*runs away*
maybe its wrong of me, but:
I’m picturing somebody sliding in their socks, a la Tom Cruise in ‘Risky Business’….. right across that living/dining room, out onto the patio, over the edge…..
But is it still a real “Murphy” bed if it’s hoisted into the ceiling, instead of folded into wall?
Whatever – give me the original design anyday.
Ok that’s just…bizarre…
So the bedside light….has to be put away….somewhere… whenever the bed is hoisted? And what is that shelf like thing on either side about a foot or so below the ceiling?
That’s cool. so very cool, but I would hate to get stuck in it.
