A chest configured to transition between an open position and a closed position may include a front panel, side panels and a top panel, the front panel including a first and second portions, the side panels including first and second sub-side panels, the first portion of the front panel being hingably connected to a base of the chest, and the second portion of the front panel hingably connected to the first portion of the front panel and fixed to the first sub-side panels, wherein the second portion of the front panel is stored within an enclosure formed by at least the first portion of the front panel, the side panels and the top panel when the chest is in the closed position, and the first portion and the second portion of the front panel form a portion of a sleeping platform when the chest is in the open position.

A folding bed chest device includes a chest and a sleeping platform. The chest is configured to store a foldable mattress and the sleeping platform when the folding bed chest device is in a folded position. The sleeping platform is configured to support a weight of the foldable mattress when the folding bed chest device is in an unfolded position.

A folding bed for storage within a cabinet has a flat platform made from a front panel and an inside front panel. Rear extension panels are hingedly attached to the rear face of a drawer such that in the closed cabinet position the rear extension panels are parallel to the rear drawer face and moveable when in the open bed position to be parallel with the side drawer faces. The cabinet sides and the cabinet top have hinges to permit opening up the upper structural section. A method of transforming an apparatus from a cabinet to a bed pulling out a base drawer involves unfolding panels to form a platform out of a front panel, an inside panel and a cabinet floor, unfolding a mattress from within the apparatus onto the platform, and unfolding side panels to reduce visible obstructions.

A modular bed includes a base frame unit and a plurality of support frame units mounted on the base frame unit to be displaced from each other. Each of the support frame units has a lead bar, a trailing bar, four mounting frames, a support panel, and four bent leaf springs each coupling the support panel to a respective one of the mounting frames so as to provide cushioning effect for the support panel in response to movement of the support panel from an unloaded position to a loaded position.

A cabinet bed that includes a movable spacer, attached to an extendable support (e.g., a movable drawer), for supporting a movable sleeping section and/or includes at least one laterally extending slidable guide to maintain the extendable support in alignment with the movable sleeping section. For example, the cabinet bed may include the movable spacer that is pivotably attached to the extendable support underneath the movable sleeping section when in a horizontal position. The cabinet bed may also include a pair of laterally extending slidable guides extending from each side of the extendable support and/or a second pair of laterally extending slidable glides extending toward a respective side of the extendable support to maintain the extendable support in alignment with the movable sleeping section.

A chest may be configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, the chest including an enclosure configured to store a foldable mattress supported by a sleeping platform when the foldable mattress is in an unfolded state. The chest may include a top panel, a front panel, and side panels, the top panel configured to be manually lifted off of the chest to form a lower portion of the sleeping platform.
