The vertical bed’s limitation as that it needs a full height room to operate. When ceiling height is lower, we use the horizontal bed system to get over the issue. The horizontal bed system is exactly the same as the vertical system except that it folds or hinges from one site instead of the head of the bed. Obviously, this means that only one side of the bed is accessible in the down position, but this is common in any situation where a bed is pushed against a wall.
Sometimes space won’t permit a traditional upright vertical bed. Available in single, double, or queen size, our side tilt beds are the ideal choice for rooms with lower ceilings – like basements or half story lofts.
The other situation when a vertical bed may be preferable is when you need to have as little of the bed encroach into the room as possible, either to avoid other furniture or to fit into smaller spaces. Because the bed folds out from its narrowest dimension, it comes out less far and can be easier to accommodate.
