As someone that lives in the Southern US, all I can think about is the number of spiders that would live in the cubby the bed slides into.

And just like that, all interest I had in this product vanished.

It seems a step in the right direction, but I would really like to see a solution for the kitchen embedded in it... I can't imagine myself going out to eat everyday.

That was a really confusing website to me. Lots of pictures and none that really explained what it did. The main important piece is the video in the middle, but that don't look like a video unless you pass your mouse over it. And with a slow network connection, it didn't happen to be animated as I scrolled by so I didn't notice it until the second pass.

It appears to require a hard floor and I wonder if it would make grooves in the floor after a while.

What keeps it from crushing you while you sleep?

Hmm page doesn't show anything apart from the footer and header for me on Firefox nightly...

Or smooshing you into the wall? Or just pinching your hand when you bend over to get something that fell under the bed?
