#2I would feel much more comfortable with that bed concept if the outer edge had steel cables on a winch mechanism, or posts with hidden ball screws.
As it stands, their design would require some serious reinforcement of the walls and ceiling in the space the bed occupies for most buildings I've encountered.

I'm not sure I can articulate it effectively, but I have looked at such furniture online and that's my tentative hypothesis.

#7During 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.
