Hideaway Beds - Have You Considered A Fu-Chest?
By Veronica Wilson
When you live in a small space such as an apartment or suite, every bit of living space counts. We're seeing new, creative storage solutions in the marketplace and the Fu-Chest is one of the most creative and elegant solutions I've seen in some time.
What is a Fu-Chest? It's a full length bed that folds and stores itself into what looks like an elegant chest of drawers. It's a hideaway bed for the decor conscious! When the bed is stored away you see a chest of drawers, but it's actually a faux chest containing your hideaway bed.
This innovative "hideaway bed" pulls out neatly to rest on a raised wooden platform. The sleep experience is comfortable with the mattress being fairly thick and cozy. The sturdy platform is a great feature to keep your guests off the floor. This gives them a more comfortable sleep time, just what every host or hostess strives for.
The Fu-Chest mattress is a B-fold innerspring mattress, or you can purchase a specially designed futon mattress that will work just as well and it's normally available at a lower price.
Designs of the faux chest include both contemporary and traditional pieces with handsome hardware in both light wood pieces and darker wood. There surely is a good match available for your current decor. If you'd like something that also provides some storage space, look for designs that include a usable storage drawer. When not in use, the top shelf can also be used to display collectibles or books, whatever you like.
I find the Fu-Chest is a terrific option for those who wish to offer their guests a cozy bed to sleep on, but don't have the space for a permanent guest bed. It keeps guests off the floor and on a comfy mattress. If you have space concerns yet need something for guests to sleep on, consider a Fu-Chest. I find it to be a worthwhile investment for those who need a guest bed but don't have the space for one.

Wall mounted furniture comes in price ranges suited to everyone's budget and in a variety of uses and styles. From wall-mounted desks to the classic Murphy bed, there is wall-mounted furniture to fit a variety of needs. Wall mounted furniture has been around since the middle ages. People have always had a need to store furniture and goods in tight area and today is no exception. If you live in New York, London or Tokyo you know what it's like to live in a small apartment where you barely have enough room to sleep, eat and relax. Wall mounted furniture is perfect for small apartments - the Murhpy bed is a great example. You can sleep in comfort and then store the bed in an upright position to give you more room in your apartment by day.
