Hinged Rest. Check out this "Scoop" circular sofa/bed from Italian manufacturer Saba. It's a unique approach to the whole sleeper-sofa thing. We'll second Core77's "good luck finding fitted sheets." Via: Core77...

 
 

There is actually a more practical square version:

I would want the beds in the home to be the same size and shape so that all the bed sheets would be the right size.

It looks terribly uncomfortable, especially since you have that big chasm splitting the bed in half.

Smart solution for a quest bed. I like it!

That circular sofa-bed reminds me of one I used to see in Spiegel catalogs back in the 80's. I was 7 or 8 at the time and repeatedly begged my mom to buy it for my room. And now I understand why... It looks like a playpen!

My bf has a circular bed and you can actually just use queen sheets on it (tucking them in). However, I am not crazy about the bed itself as it seems to take up more space than a conventional bed, yet provide less surface area. Also, there's no natural way to place it against a wall, which means it takes up even *more* room. It's just not an efficient design.

Either the sofas are going to be too deep to sit on comfortably or the bed is going to be too short (maybe it's for 6-year olds). (A queen size mattress is 3 times the length of the standard seat portion of a sofa.) Must have sounded like a great idea but pretty stupid in practice.

I can just see the sofas separating and your butt sagging to the floor in the middle of the night. No thanks!
