Good Questions: Where Is This Flip Bed From?

12-1-flipup.jpgHello AT,

Do you know where one could purchase the flip up bed with under-bed storage that was on Small Spaces Big Style , Tiny treasures episode that was in a San Francisco row house?

Thanks for your help, Michele Z.

Michele,

We're always so happy when we know the answer right away (which isn't very often). This bed looks like it comes from FLOU, an Italian bed manufacturer with a number of shops in the US. They only do beds and show off their flip up hardware on their site often. We recommend them.

Anyone else??

maybe this is obvious, but have you looked for a custom furniture maker? While this is more then just a platform bed i'd bet a woodworking shop could build this for you. and that way you can design to suit!

Design and Comfort has a similar one, which I don't think is made by Flou:

The Bossa bed from EQ3 looks similar. (It's a new product and pricing is not yet available). It looks best with the headboard extensions and integrated night stands.

Kontiki wooden platform bed with storage.

Eastern King - $5,506.00

Designed with a lifting slat support, the bed has the benefit of a capable storage container with the aesthetic elegance of the well-designed bed.

Did anyone notice that the cityschemes bed and the design and comfort bed are the exact same picture of the exact same bed?

oh one more recommendation on flipbeds and convertible couches - RV Cole - I purchased and sleep on their couch/convertible storage bed every nite and the owner (Rudy ) recommended this couch convertible bed thing and swore it would last 10 years - well, 1 more year and he is accurate - it is great!!!

The EQ3 bed is $1299 in King if you get all the options (headboard extensions, nightstands, and flip up mechanism). $1199 for Queen and $1099 for Double. The bed alone (with no options - not even the flip up) is $799 in King.

Anyone know where I can find the glass coffee table that raises into a dining table, from the same episode?

Thanks.

I saw a bed like this a few months ago at the Door Store on 3rd Avenue (near Bloomingdale's).
