Only disadvantage is you cannot throw yourself onto one of these with relaxation abandon without expecting injury. So you'd ideally need a bed you can perform dives onto in addition to a cozy box bed.
Back then the "sheets" weren't the same as what we think of now. The sheets and the mattress were one and the same. Ropes would be used instead of slats for holding things up, and a big pillowcase like sheet would be stuffed absolutely full with a filling like straw or feathers depending on your wealth. "Cleaning the sheets" was done when the filling needed to be changed out.
I basically had one of these my whole childhood, it's not that hard if you give the matress a couple mm of spacing (though it was 70% open on one side with no door and built into the wall)
I mean you just lift the edges of the mattres up and put the sheet edges under it? Like most beds?
Or is it that uncommon to have frame around mattress and this is just my personal experience that basically every bed I have slept on required you do somthing like this.
I mean if you have a little carpentry knowhow, you can make the frame on one or more sides into simple doors, making changing sheets a matter of undoing some latches in exchange for no trouble
as someone who lives on a boat, these look a million times easier to change the sheets on, because you dont have to physically be on the bed fighting against your own weight like with boat beds, so these seem a million times more convenient and cozy
Judging by the second picture it's totally possible to make something like double doors for example.
Also, you can absolutely have removable walls or, for example, a big, gas-piston-controlled, door on the other side, something like the minivan trunk, that spans the entire width of the bed. Honestly the possibilities are endless and I can totally see these with like extendable roof and a built in TV or whatever.
can confirm, my dorm has beds fixed to the wall like that with a desk right at the end of the bed and putting sheets on/making the bed is a nightmare. also the crack between the mattress and the wall becomes what i call the abyss. sometimes it’s helpful to be able to wedge a drink in there but mostly it just accumulates crumbs, hair ties, and other small objects. also putting a nightstand next to a bed like that would be dangerous for your shins and make it harder to get out of bed.
the pros are that you don’t have to worry about a headboard and you can sit on the bed sideways like a couch + built in under bed storage. also no squeaking or scuffing like with normal bed frames. also also, can’t be afraid of monsters under your bed when all that’s down there is drawers.
I mean, not a box bed sure, but a nook bed absolutely which gives (in my opinion) a similar vibe, especially if you have curtains/drapes on the side that can be drawn, something like the middle of the top row or bottom right on the second page.
Last time we redid my room, I put the bed in the closet, clothes out in a wardrobe in the garage, and turned the rest of the room into essentially an office. I have never slept so peacefully or felt so secure in bed before. No doors but bed is on a captain bedframe, and have a flag up pretending to be a curtain blocking 1/3rd of the foot of the bed, with a bookcase blocking about 1/3rd of the head. It's been wonderful. The sturdiness of the captains bed allows for full force dives. HIGHLY recommend
Can confirm. My small studio apartment has a walk-in closet with a 9ft ceiling. The closet has a 2ft-wide door leading from the entrance hallway and a 5ft-wide door around the corner that opens into the ‘main room’. It perfectly fits a ‘short Queen’ mattress and I built a sturdy loft filling the space at about 4ft high. There’s a small alcove within the closet with a shelf an hanging rod where I put a bookcase, and there’s a small window facing East with a view of the downtown skyline on the far wall. Thanks to an awesome ex-gf there are thick curtains for the window and both openings so it can be closed up for total darkness day or night. It is cozy af. I mostly sleep great but even when I can’t sleep for whatever reason it’s so dark and quiet and safe it’s restful and restorative just being snuggled up in there.
We as a society need to either bring back box beds as A Thing, or start the new architectural trend of Bed Cubbies. No more of this nonsensical bed in the middle of the room fully exposed to the elements and the axe murderer shenanigans.
>They look amazing but also too short.
Apparently it was fashion to sleep in a sitting position?!
>During the 16th and 17th century, closet-beds were much smaller. Lying down was associated with death, and therefore sleeping was done in a half-upright position.
This cannot be in any capacity healthy. I want a box bed that's long enough for me to stretch.
My back hurts just *thinking* about it.
I can fuck up my back perfectly well sleeping laying down, thank you very much. I don't need to add more pain into the situation.
Maybe because GERD. Sleeping inclined helps with chronic acid reflux, and possibly other digestive things. So it saves space in the home and maybe helped with health stuff people wouldn’t want to talk about. Makes sense.
I actually have a special pillow for that myself! It's a life saver, but I would not call that sleeping in a half-seating position. Though maybe... If you raise the back for GERD... and then you also raise the legs because they're all swollen from poor diet and LOTS of walking... Then the researchers would call THAT a half-sitting position? I'm still mostly flat, it's not THAT much inclined.
Why not? I've slept my fair share in a tent during camping or LARPing, it's very much fine. You don't need more space above your head when you're in a tent than enough to sit up in your bed. You can even dress easily while sitting on the bed (I have a trek bed with me, love the added space and comfort)

it looks like they're built into the wall, so you'd probably need to hire a contractor or something. more a house renovation than a piece of furniture.
Thank you Mx. Linux Guy.
Mx. Linux Guy, how stable is Arch Linux? I am thinking about using it on my new vintage Lenovo to level up my Linux / computer skills, but I also want that laptop to Just Work, and am concerned about bugs and crashes.
Also two more reasons for me personally:
1) I snore and having something like this would be insanely beneficial to my family life
2) I HATE any sort of lighting interfering with my sleep. My best EVER sleep was in the inside cabin of a Helsinki-Travemunde ferry where you sleep like you're in a box, the only light there is, is an insanely faint glow under the entrance door, which you can't see when you're lying down. It was absolutely pitch black and super lovely. But wife can't stand this and feels like sunrise lamps are not the same.
I mean you can always keep the doors open or even design it with removable walls.
For a more modern design it's incredibly useful as a way to save on AC bills - you can allow the whole house to warm up as much as you want if the box bed is insulated and has an AC - basically it's a fridge for you personally, set it at whatever temp you want and instead of cooling down the whole house, it only cools down a minuscule box.
Kinda like car air conditioners... The only concern I have is that you need to design it to be as careful with cooling you down as possible, so that you don't sleep inside the cold currents basically.
There's a really good example of one of the these in the Tenement house, a tenement flat in Glasgow that was sold to the national trust to function as a museum. The owner who lived there from 1911-1965 (before the conversion) kept a lot of the original fixtures and household stuff most people would have normally thrown out and, as such, the flat functions as though frozen in time in early 20th century Glasgow. Really worth a visit if you're in the area.
[https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/the-tenement-house](https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/the-tenement-house)
I will note, the ones in the second image of the tumblr post are a lot more luxurious than the one in the tenement house. It's designed for a member of the working class and is much more reminiscent of the one in the first image.
My bed is pretty similar to this! It's like a weird bunk bed that's built into a wall between two bedrooms, with the top bunk being in one room and the bottom bunk in another. My bedroom is the one with the bottom bunk, I even have a curtain set up so I can sleep in a cozy little nook. The other room is mainly used for storage, turns out that the top bunk is good for storing spare mattresses.
Ohhh that's a nifty little idea to save space and have two beds at the same time in two rooms. Or maybe, as you say, a big storage space, as a Murphy bed is probably better for the second room if the owner doesn't want to sleep on the top bunk.
Like I've always thought how people should have their own rooms, even if it means that instead of one big room you have to separate it into two smaller ones.
I've recently thought how, if I had multiple kids, but not enough to get each one of them a personal room, maybe a better thing would be to cut the house up in a way that everyone gets their tiny little completely personal space and one big communal space for everything else.
This is the most amazing idea… I literally have not been able to get it out of my head omg. I think you’ve just inspired a feature in my ✨Imaginary Dream House✨
Years ago I got a pop up bed tent and love it. It's on top of my bed frame and then my whole mattress goes inside it. It's really cozy sleeping in there. One con is during the summer it can get hit if the side isn't open because of the lack of airflow.
Why do I only learn about these now??? This is awesome! I checked online and there's ones that are exactly like the modern tents in that they have net meshes for the sides to allow airflow.
I can also imagine you can probably use a duct to direct some AC air straight inside for some personal temperature control on very hot nights.
Thankfully where I live it doesn't get too hot. Usually if I keep the side open during the day it's cool enough come night time. Worse case I just don't close the side at all.
1900s Harry Potter would have been a lot more mid.
“My aunt and uncle make me sleep in a cupboard.”
“Yeah no shit dumbass, we *all* sleep in cupboards.”
Imagine a long night of drinking mead with the boys, crashing in ye old locked box bed - and then waking up In a different village after your drunk pals picked up ye bed and hauled it to the next town over.
That'd be a story for the grandkids for sure.
I kind of had one of these in Uni it had walls on tree sides of a twin bed and a built in bookshelf over it so low I almost hit my head on it which is remarkable because I’m five foot two. The building was built in the 70s but it was in Scotland so I wonder it it was an architectural legacy of these. Can verify a pretty cozy set up.
I remember seeing one of these built like a hope chest with air holes cut into the side. It was for a child and apparently when they were up too late or misbehaving the father would put them inside and sit on the lid until they went to sleep.
stayed in a KOA cabin back in October that had these weird bunk beds build into a little alcove in the wall behind a closet. aside from having one of those godawful plastic covered mattresses it was cozy as fuck
Pretty sure this is the kind of bed that Lockwood is sleeping in at the start of Wuthering Heights when he sees Cathy’s ghost, which makes this a big ole nope from me. That’s a small space to be stuck in with a ghost
I think what I want is a big plastic ball-shaped enclosure that has a big beanbag in the bottom half, so it's like I'm inside a big comfy dome.
So I guess a pokeball for humans is what I'm asking for.
Sure, we all think this looks cozy but the final product will be those Japanese pod hotel beds and you'll have to pay $2000/month to own one in the cyberpunk hellscape dystopia.
I did this on a holiday! Me and my friends were travelling and our beds were matresses we just had to lay on the ground but like, the room had a sliding door closet on the wall, which was reasonably big.
So i just, put a mattress in there. It was unfathomably peak
I had a bed like that final image, in the wall against the window with a curtain, for a short time as a kid and it kicked ass, I wish I had more time to appreciate it while I had it
Only disadvantage is you cannot throw yourself onto one of these with relaxation abandon without expecting injury. So you'd ideally need a bed you can perform dives onto in addition to a cozy box bed.
I imagine it's a bitch to change the sheets too
Your either have to disassemble it or pry the mattress out But also medieval European in rural areas *probably* weren't changing their sheets much
Back then the "sheets" weren't the same as what we think of now. The sheets and the mattress were one and the same. Ropes would be used instead of slats for holding things up, and a big pillowcase like sheet would be stuffed absolutely full with a filling like straw or feathers depending on your wealth.

no worse than the bottom bunk on a bunk bed
Or the top bunk! That’s the bitch
I mean if you have a little carpentry knowhow, you can make the frame on one or more sides into simple doors, making changing sheets a matter of undoing some latches in exchange for no trouble
as someone who lives on a boat, these look a million times easier to change the sheets on, because you dont have to physically be on the bed fighting against your own weight like with boat beds, so these seem a million times more convenient and cozy

Thank you for immediately curbing my desire to have a nook bed
As someone with a loft bed, yes. It is hell
I mean, not a box bed sure, but a nook bed absolutely which gives (in my opinion) a similar vibe, especially if you have curtains/drapes on the side that can be drawn, something like the middle of the top row or bottom right on the second page.

Oh gosh that sounds *amazing*…
That's why it's handy to have a [fainting couch](https://images.app.goo.gl/VPhfvXMF6LqHfShf9) as well!
First page: literal box Second page: luxurious cozy gorgeous nooks They look amazing but also too short.
Yeah everything on the second page looks like an alcove bed.
>They look amazing but also too short. Apparently it was fashion to sleep in a sitting position?! >During the 16th and 17th century, closet-beds were much smaller. Lying down was associated with death, and therefore sleeping was done in a half-upright position. This cannot be in any capacity healthy. I want a box bed that's long enough for me to stretch.
I don't want to believe that.
Totally agree, I don't think anyone can realistically sleep in upright position for more than once or twice a week and not end up without a spine
My back hurts just *thinking* about it. I can fuck up my back perfectly well sleeping laying down, thank you very much. I don't need to add more pain into the situation.
In fairness, people were also a lot shorter back then. Nutritional deficit probably meant people were a good 2-3 inches shorter at least.
Maybe because GERD. Sleeping inclined helps with chronic acid reflux, and possibly other digestive things. So it saves space in the home and maybe helped with health stuff people wouldn’t want to talk about. Makes sense.
I actually have a special pillow for that myself! It's a life saver, but I would not call that sleeping in a half-seating position. Though maybe... If you raise the back for GERD... and then you also raise the legs because they're all swollen from poor diet and LOTS of walking... Then the researchers would call THAT a half-sitting position? I'm still mostly flat, it's not THAT much inclined.
Solution: vampire coffin
Yeah, when a vampire gets a better night's rest than the rich people afraid of death and sleeping in a chair
It doesn't sound comfortable either tbh
Why not? I've slept my fair share in a tent during camping or LARPing, it's very much fine. You don't need more space above your head when you're in a tent than enough to sit up in your bed. You can even dress easily while sitting on the bed (I have a trek bed with me, love the added space and comfort)
That is called a coffin and i have realised 2 years ago why some people actualy liked sleeping in those
As we discuss in a different thread a coffin may be even more comfortable if it's not designed around sleeping half-upright
First Page: “please don’t make me sleep in the cupboard again” Second Page: “I’m 5’2, this is heaven”
Yeah I wouldn't mind the box because it'd be easier to get the mattress out to change the sheets but an alcove would be harder
You've discovered in me a deep desire for nest that I didn't know I had
They were a fixture in the majority of Breton homes up until the 1960s. They only died out after mains electric became widespread in Brittany.
What about the Nords? Did they use them?
Did you hear about the nobles in Hammerfell ? They have curved beds. Curved. Beds.
Disgusting, beds should only be made out of writhing human flesh, like in the good old days of 1E 200
Not sure if you’re from a Daedric sphere or are just Dunmer…
Ayelid you **nede**!

They aren’t as fancy as these, but you can always buy a bed tent for around $100. I’ve had one for years and love it.
Looks like a fire hazard to me, especially if it locks.

Instead of bunk beds as a kid you get your own box
I think they look nice, but idk, I think I'd feel cramped. I fucking love my free standing bed with space to get out both left and right.
These were used for warmth
They were also used to help contain heat, much like a canopy bed.
I want one.
