Needs it satisfies: Need of more living space.
Bunk beds first appeared as a space saving solution but do they really still represent a space saving solution for the modern America? Not really.
Nowadays extra space is a luxury that only a few can afford.
Bunk bed manufacturers were certain that since bunk beds were positioned as space savers nothing else could be added or modified so to satisfy the growing need for space, thus, loyal to this idea, the main design has prevailed for decades!
The only innovations to the original design consist in slight model variations in which bunk bed manufacturers change shapes, colors, materials, finishing, etc.
But the challenge of providing more living space to their customers, or in other words providing the luxury of extra space has not been overcome.
Murphy Bed Company can become the first manufacturer on launching to the marketplace the most innovative bunk bed which saves more space than any other. You see… current bunk beds occupy at least the space of a single or a full mattress in a horizontal position, and this space is occupied night and day either you are in bed or not…
So… with this Foldable and Transportable Bunk Bed, when the sun rises, you:
Stand up, fold it (no tools nor special equipment needed, just your hands and arms, no super strength needed either, an average person can do it) and have all that space the bed was occupying now available for any use (your morning yoga, Pilates®, playing Nintendo® Wii, doing ab-crunches, meditating, doing push-ups, playing with your kids and their big toys --the Fisher Price® kind of toys, using exercise machines--) or just drag a mop over the freed surface.
If not only the foldability feature was enough, the Foldable and Transportable Bunk Bed has the feature of being mobile!
Yes! You can fold it and easily move it to any direction and to any room in the house (or the hallway if you need more space in that room) with an extreme ease. The four wheels do the entire work for you; just give it a slight push and it moves. Oh… but what if I don’t want it to move and it moves? E.g. I’m sleeping over it.
Don’t you worry about that, the wheels have manual brakes on them, so they only move when you want them to move.
The nice thing about its mobility is the freedom it gives to the user.
Is unthinkable to move a regular heavy structure bunk bed from one room to another.
A regular bunk bed, to do what the Foldable and Transportable Bunk Bed does, it would have to be fully dismantled (using tools and all) simply because it wouldn’t go through the door even if it had wheels.
Just take a look at this animation and see how effortlessly living space is created:

Security First!
This freedom is also given by the fact that it has its own structure; it doesn’t have to be fixed to a wall nor stay next to it to firmly stand.
The Foldable and Transportable Bunk Bed stands still boldly in its position, either folded (storage position) or in horizontal sleep position.
When folded or unfolded, it remains like that, it will never unfold by itself and hurt somebody, nor the structure will collapse in any way while you are sleeping, the upper bed can support a weight of up to 300 pounds and the lower bed the double.
The mechanisms that allow the transformation are safely placed and covered so nobody can introduce their hands or fingers in the mechanism and get hurt.
The mattresses will never fall from the bed, as they are securely attached so they will always move along with the mechanism.
The Foldable and Transportable Bunk Bed complies with all the security regulations for bunk beds from the Consumer Product Safety Commission
Total mobility:
Move it from the warehouse of a hotel to a suite; from the garage to the living room; from the inside of a recreational vehicle to the outside.
Fun mobility:
The Foldable and Transportable Bunk Bed can be transported from the inside of a house to its lawn or backyard so kids can enjoy a wonderful camping experience being secure at home, as this bunk bed can also be converted into a camping tent with a special easy to install camping accessory, which I am also offering.
Is it useful for accommodating guests?
Sure it is… a couple of friends staying for the night, just take your Foldable and Transportable Bunk Bed from the garage and place it wherever you like. Two people can be accommodated in the lower bed and one more in the upper bed, no more uncomfortable inflatable plastic beds!
In a nutshell here are some of its features:
Complies with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommendations.
Does not need to be fixed to a wall.
Can hold safely a single and a full bed.
It has four wheels to be transported from one place to another.
It can be easily moved, which facilitates sweeping and mopping up the floor.
With small wheels can roll on flat surfaces.
With bigger wheels can roll on irregular surfaces (considering logical limitations).
The operation of the upper and the lower bed is independent and easy.
The lower bed can be in use, or be made, while the upper bed is in a vertical position.
Making the beds is much easier than common bunk beds.
With the right marketing strategy, position the new Transportable and Foldable Bunk Bed as the only bunk bed that can be used outdoors as a camping tent providing fun and comfort.
Get a market share on the camping market.
Get new consumers anxious for saving the money for a hotel room on vacations and cannot afford a recreational vehicle.
Get those current bunk bed users who are looking for saving more living space.
Increase the extent of its market selling the product globally to countries such as Japan where living space is a must.
This product is absolutely infomercial friendly and can be mass marketed that way with extremely good results.
Manufacturing and Distribution Advantages:
The components are easy to make, there is no need of special parts.
Easy to be assembled and disassembled.
More than one hundred beds disassembled can be shipped in one truck.
If you are interested on acquiring the license to manufacture this product, please contact me. I look forward to working with you to make of this product the biggest success since bunk beds were conceived.
P.S. I also have a full-sized working prototype and would be glad to send you pictures and video of it working.
