In densely packed cities like San Francisco, apartment and loft style living is becoming an increasingly popular way to live. In these situations, a Muprhy Wallbed is the ideal space saving bed and the Xtra Bed is the ideal portable spare bed.
Apartments & Murphy Wallbeds
Apartments have always been quite common and popular as they allow many people to live in one building, while maintaining their own private residence. An apartment is a self-contained housing unit that occupies only part of a building and may be owned, or rented by tenants.
A Murphy Wallbed is a perfect choice for apartment living because it offers the use of a full or queen-sized bed by night that folds away by day to provide a full room of living space.
Wallbeds are also ideal because they are installed in a room via wall studs, cause minimal damage and can be moved from room to room or house to house (a great concern for renters who are not allowed to modify their apartments and want to take their Murphy Wallbed with them when they move.)
Lofts & Xtra Beds
Loft living is a trend that takes a large space, often a warehouse or factory building, and converts it into loft apartments by turning the large area of space into separate rooms.
Similar to the history of the Murphy Wallbed, loft living first developed in the 1900s, but became increasingly popular in the 60s, especially by artists who enjoyed the freedom of space and design to create their art. Another benefit, especially in a city like San Francisco, is that the large-scale building of the loft often encourages the use of industrial-sized windows to provide an excellent view of the city.
Many lofts have a minimal number of walls to create a wide-open living space divided only by structural components. For this reason, the Xtra Bed is an ideal solution for loft living.
The Xtra Bed’s unique ability to move around, stylish design and comfortable full-sized inner spring mattress make it ideal to use as a spare bed for loft living in San Francisco. The lack of available wall space and large floor space makes having a portable spare bed that can be positioned in any area the loft extremely valuable. Combine an Xtra Bed with several privacy screen room dividers and loft owners are able to provide their guests with a private bedroom of their own.
When searching for a loft, remember that there are two different types:
- Hard Loft – This means that the entire area will be open, besides the bathroom, and the original structure is left in place.
- Soft Loft – This style of loft has dividing walls that do not reach the ceiling, but provide more privacy for those living in them.
Remember if you are searching for an apartment or loft, or need to furnish it, Murphy Wallbeds and Xtra Beds are an ideal solution to utilize your space and provide a comfortable spare bed.
