The present invention provides a compact, comfortable modular bedroom system to be used as a living and sleeping space, which is especially valuable if one lives in small quarters, in a tiny home, or has a large family. The modular bedroom system is comprised of one or more closet units, desk units, drawer units, headboard units, and step units which are positioned adjacent to and attached to other units to provide a small, twin-size bed area, a large king-size or California king-size bed area, or areas which fall in-between, depending on the individual sizes of the units and how one configures the positioning of the units.

A furniture item with at least one wedge-shaped bed and with a vertical axis of rotation, about which the at least one bed and/or at least one wedge-shaped functional element are/is mounted in a rotatable manner. The axis of rotation is arranged at one of the two ends of the bed or is formed by the axis of rotation of a rotary part, on which one of the two bed ends is fastened.

A foldout bed housing with four panels is described. The housing includes a bed tray comprising a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, and a fourth panel, wherein the first and second panels are hingeably coupled and the third and fourth panels are hingeably coupled, and one or more fasteners for rigidly coupling the first and second panels with the third and fourth panels in a planar surface. The housing also includes a first and second side wall, a front panel, a first back panel, a top panel, and a counterbalance mechanism. Each housing component can be shipped in a packed configuration for economic shipping. Upon delivery, the combination can be unpacked for quick and easy installation.

A foldout bed is described. The foldout bed has a left side wall, a right side wall, and a top panel that extends between and attached to the top ends of the two side walls. The bottom end of each side wall is coupled with a counterbalance mechanism. A bed tray is pivotally coupled with a the counterbalance mechanisms and is transitionable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The bed tray provides a unitary planar surface that is configured to support a mattress and a person when in the open configuration. Each counterbalance mechanism has a frame and a piston that attaches the frame to the bed tray. The frame has a base flange disposed perpendicular to the side walls and located at the bottommost end of the counterbalance mechanism against a base plate of the wall.

A chest may be configured to transition between an open position and a closed position. The chest forming an enclosure configured to store a foldable mattress. The chest including 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 a sleeping platform, the front panel including an upper front panel hingedly connected to a lower front panel; and a back panel hingably connected to the side panels.

Embodiments of this application describe improved techniques for operating moveable furniture items. The techniques can include configuring a moveable furniture item such that it will not pivot of tip over during normal operating conditions. The techniques can also include certain passive safety features, such as selecting components that experience a fail condition if a certain threshold condition is reached. In some embodiments, the furniture item can be programmed to operate in various modes, desirable in certain circumstances. The techniques described herein can improve both the functionality and the safety of moveable furniture items.
