apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Another Look at BoConcept's Ottoman/Bed

091509 boconcept bed.jpgWe showed this ottoman/bed on Apartment Therapy a few years ago, but after seeing it in person the other day we decided it was worth another look. It doesn't hurt that the price is $200 less now than we quoted before. See it transformed into a bed after the jump...

 
 

091509 boconcept ottomanbed.jpgNow starting at $279, the ottoman/bed is both a practical and affordable option for anyone hosting frequent sleepovers or other visiting guests. When we saw it in the store we were particularly impressed by its lightweight frame, which makes moving it much easier than you might think.

According to the Bo Concept website, it looks like the ottoman without the bed function, in basic fabric, is $279. With the bed starts at $499. The price tag for the ottoman with bed feature in the fabric shown in this picture is $979. Maybe not so affordable after all...

Almost a grand for a nondescript ottoman that can fold out into an uncomfortable-looking, rather ugly bed. Seriously, it looks like an operating table.

Pricey, uncomfortable-looking and not very stylish open or closed...h-mmm I'm going to pass.

It looks like a hospital bed without the adjustable part....or better yet, a very uncomfortable roll-away bed from a dinky motel.

There was a classic fold-up sleeper cot with wheels and a pretty classy-looking mattress, allegedly Italian-made, on Smartbargains.com for $139.

There's an ottoman sleeper on PBTeen for less that $979, I believe. I think it's around $350.

I've been looking into these things because I'm expecting a crowd at Thanksgiving, and I'd like to get everyone over 50 off the floor.

For the benefit of anyone interested, I double-checked and the Italian folding cot is still available on Smartbargains.com for $139 and PBTeen.com is offering their tufted ottoman cot in pink or white for $299 with reduced shipping.

New to Apt. Therapy. Just Read this and thought I should chime in since I actually purchased one of these..

Don't all hate on me at once.

But I am totally happy with it.

1. Every single price on here is actually wrong.

The Bed can be purchased without cover and is $360

They have covers that start at like $180 Bucks.

So around $550 NOT $1000 dollars. I can't vouch for the quality of the $150 Dollar Itallian "folding cot". But the bo bed is great construction with a memory foam mattress.. I have had about 5 different houseguests sleep on mine and all of them found it to be far better than an inflatable. My 2 cents.

yeah i agree, it looks really nasty and uncomfortable, probably ok for kids but not an adult, its just way too thin.
