Space-saving Wall Beds Solve Space Problems

For families with small city flats, holiday rental landlords, or studio apartment owners, the same question always arises: How can I optimally combine living and sleeping despite limited space? The answer lies in wall beds. These offer a space-saving solution when, for example, a separate bedroom isn't possible. But even in a child's room or for a guest room, they create entirely new possibilities for space utilisation. The products we present consist of functional furniture with practical additional features. Such a sleeping arrangement can also be perfectly used as a dining table, desk, or sofa.

The Invisible Sleeping Solution for the Guest Room

How do you offer guests the simplest and most discreet sleeping option possible? The Clei Penelope 2 wall bed is suitable for two people and is the ideal solution for the guest room or holiday flat. Once guests have left, the fold-away bed with a sleeping area of 160×200 cm can be quickly and easily stored against the wall, and the designer wall bed with a double bed remains otherwise invisible.

Space-saving Wall Beds in the Children's or Teenager's Room

Can a bed in a wardrobe effectively eliminate space problems for families? The Clei Kali Duo is one type of wall bed that allows for a bunk wall bed in a child's or teenager's room (the sleeping area per single bed is 80×200 cm). After bedtime, the bed, along with its ladder, can be stored in the wardrobe in an instant, providing space for playing or romping around. Exactly what's needed for families with twins or hotels with limited space for multiple children.

This bunk bed can do even more, as a desk is optionally available. After school, children can immediately sit down to do their homework or study for a difficult maths test. The clever part: the table doesn't need to be cleared at bedtime; it remains horizontal with notebooks and crayons.

A Wall Bed for Sleeping and Relaxing

How can a fold-out bed improve the limited footprint in a studio apartment? The Clei Penelope 2 with sofa is a top wall bed for the living room or guest room. Here, no one has to forgo comfortable relaxation on the sofa before or after sleeping. During the day, residents can enjoy TV programmes or gaming consoles while seated, and in the evening, an optimal sleeping arrangement is available (mattress dimensions: 160 x 200 cm).

Wall beds with a sofa provide the answer in the guest room to how limited space can still create a cosy atmosphere. Once visitors have left, the room with the sofa can be used as a practical retreat.

Sleeping and Homework in the Smallest Space

Wall beds for children are a clever way to effectively utilise small spaces. The best example of this is the Clei Kali 90/120 with a mattress area of 90 x 200 cm or 120 x 200 cm  – depending on the version. The wall bed with desk allows for sleeping and learning in the tiniest space.

The Clei Kali 90/120 can be folded out without the desk needing to be cleared

The multifunctional wall unit integrates a table that doesn't clear away stationery or smartphones when the bed is folded up or down. Thanks to its creative design, the tabletop always remains in a horizontal position. When the children are at school, the Kali 90/120 can also be used as a home office or reading nook.

The Wall Bed for Breakfast by the Bed

Many people find breakfast in bed desirable. With the Clei Penelope 2 wall bed with dining table, however, breakfast for two is served by the bed. The latter disappears with its double bed mattress when folded away, elegantly revealing a table for the first meal of the day.

The Clei Penelope 2 wall bed elegantly combines sleeping and dining

Simply add a few chairs, and up to four people can dine together and chat. This successful combination of sleeping and dining exemplifies how the Italian manufacturer Clei unites space-saving advantages in one piece of furniture.

Conclusion: A space-saving wall bed for a holiday flat or guest room boasts high quality and functionality, as well as an attractive design. When it comes to accessories, slatted frames, and mattresses, the buyer hardly has to make any compromises compared to a standard bed. Whether just visiting or dealing with a stressful professional life, the supplied sprung mattresses promise a restful night's sleep.

The modular wall bed system from Clei allows for additional accessories such as tables, shelves, or wardrobes

Space-saving furniture like a modern wall bed from Clei definitely shows the right way to address an unfavourable room layout. The manufacturer offers customers a modular system that can easily be expanded with accessories (tables, wardrobes, or shelves).
