The video of the bed descending upon the sofa and coffee table seems to solve the wrong problem: if you have space above your living room you can essentially build a stable bunk above rather than having the entire bed move up and down.
The first thing we are shown on this website: a bed descending upon a sofa and coffee table. And if you scroll down a bit, you will see it from the side. Let's think about it for a second: - you cannot have anything (unless it's flat, so maybe a book on a table) on those mebels if you want to lower the bed - you also need to make sure nothing is around to block your bed - you cannot use the wall at all since it's par…
My wife would actually appretiate your first fiew points the opposite way - don't have shit laying around when you go to sleep and be minimalistic about decorating your rooms. I am not saying that I like the ORI products but I think your first points are just a personal preference. Having have mechanical contraption above my head would scare me too.
Then you won't have to be meticulously tidy and will have the option to have someone watching TV and sleeping at the same time (or whichever other tradeoff each of those furniture items offer)

During the pandemic I learned that for me it’s very risky psychologically speaking to live / work / sleep in the same place. Insomnia is no joke and can easily ruin your life. I wonder if those transforming spaces help or exasperate the problem. I guess they can very visibly change the space so your brain doesn’t consider it “the same room”, but maybe they don’t…
Of course, having a morning routine that involved getting my (2 year old) daughter up and ready for her day before I started work also helped create separation.

I considered that but you end up with the bed almost touching the roof which isn’t terribly comfortable.
This stuff looks really cool in videos but as someone who owns some folding / roll-out furniture it's fucking annoying as hell. You have to have absolutely nothing in a room to make folding furniture work. Otherwise you have one little thing out and now it's in the way.
It's a bit like living in a hotel, I feel. More of a place to sleep than a place to live. And for some people, that's just fine - I can see setups like this really work for people who spend their day at work and their spare time out as well. Might work for e.g. airbnb's, but you'll want something cheaper and more idiot / roughhousing proof for that purpose. And expats or contractors who need to be put up in an apartm…
I rented a luxury micro studio, your kitchen is in your bedroom! And the fold out bed/ couch would never lock on place. It keep falling on me.
I ended up moving to a massive 2 bdrm, which was in an older building. My life was so much better overnight. No longer did I need to hear my neighbors and vice versa. And I got a normal bed which didn't try to collapse upon me.
That moving bed on the front page is going to kill someone. Even if it's fine out of the box, what about in 15 years. A conventional bed frame might just crack, it's hard to imagine it crushing you.
Give me a futon over this
