Here is something interesting from Rolands Landsbergs. It is a compact bedding solution called the Bedroom in a box, something that carries practically everything you would want when you talk about bedroom needs.

The whole thing consists of a series of modules that can transform into different functional pieces. This includes a bed, desk and a storage box. When not in use, it can be pushed back in the box and hidden for more space. The Bed in a Box should be cool for small living spaces, somehow taking the concept of a wall bed.

The bedroom unit is even equipped with a spotlight and an ambience lighting fixture above the bed’s headboard.

The Kallisto Full/Queen Bookcase Headboard is of those furniture pieces that has been designed to be both practical and stylish.

Selling for $159.0 on Walmart, the headboard perfectly complements full and queen bed frames and matches Prepac’s Platform Storage Beds.

Cheeky Upholstered Bed Headboards

Sofa beds may not really be unique these days but if you get to take a look at the Oz Sofa designed by Nicola Gallizia, for Moldeni&C, you may just be taken aback by its clever engineering. The sofa features a slatted base that is divided into two halves.

The front panel of the base hides a small lever which is responsible for allowing the other panel and one half of the base to slide out horizontally. This is normally done when the sofa is preferred to be transformed into a bed when people want to sleep on it. Left on its own sofa position, the armrests remain at its side and the base slides out the armrests simultaneously leaving only the ‘headboard’ for people who want to rest on them.

The Oz Sofa should be another neat solution for people who are looking for a functional daybed and for those who don’t really have the luxury of space. They are available in widths 1820mm and 2020mm when used as a sofa. As a bed, it measures 1170mm deep and extends to 2080mm. The recommended mattress size is either 1600 or 1800mm while the overall maximum height of the backrest/headboard is 670mm.

What makes this bed unusual is the fact that the back end or the headboard portion comes with space that one could use to place some stuff. If that isn’t your thing, you can follow what the image above shows, adding some plants or grass to make your room a bit fresher with some natural grown items.

However you may look at it, Vitamin Designs offers a bed that addresses the need of people who want to lean on a wall, a reason why most beds are normally placed with the headboard portion up the walls of your room. While it does seem that this design would limit that need, don’t be surprised to find some people still doing it that way.

Then again, there are people who have beds situated at the middle of the room but as far as this Unusual Bed is concerned, it seems a bit curious on whether people would change that tradition of having them near walls.
