I can't tell from the pictures, but these almost look too small to sleep in. Would people curl up inside them? I'd like to see a human for scale
People were also smaller.

I've heard or read people say that hundreds of years ago people were taller than now. even much taller. no idea if that is true or not.
I would need to be able to sit up in my bed and get in/out without bumping my head. An integrated light would be nice- for reading, along with some chargingp ports and integrated shelving along with a built-in central air unit with a heater/airco for the hot + warm nights would save a ton of electricity in the extreme seasons.
And if you live in a home with others, a fair bit of privacy is always lovely.
I'm shocked this isn't a thing yet.
I would use these if there was a modern take in it. There's so much wasted space. All that space above my bed is unused; all the space underneath becomes a magnet for dust and dirt.

Don't know if the latter is true. But doesn't seem too implausible - life back then was generally less healthy & more dangerous.
The downside is that you can run out of air, especially if someone is very flatulent.
I would love this. I've never understood why humans waste square footage on large bedrooms. Seriously, I could sleep in a closet and be perfectly happy.
In the current culture bedrooms are more than simply a place to sleep. In multi-member households, a bedroom is typically a person's only personal space.
Imagine a large American 2 story house, where the "Owners Retreat" is on the first floor, a single bedroom, bathroom, multiple cosets sometimes with a small separate kitchenette, laundry, and reading/tv/living space.
These remind me of one of Christopher Alexander's design patterns. He said children's rooms should be actually a room with a shared play space in the middle and cubbies built into the walls on the side with curtains for privacy.
