Help needed with a bed

Hiya does anybody know where i can get a bed like this please?

    what a good idea if your pushed for space,
    Cant comment on the price, although it didnt seem too bad but did you notice the small print that the mattresses were an extra cost.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    They will still take up the same space as two sets of bunks. Could you not simply get two matching bunk beds, but in a range where they offer alternatives on the lower bunk, so you'd end up with two tops, one bottom and one desk/drawers area. They'd be easier to build and move around too.

    Hiya thanks i thought of that but the problem i saw was the room underneth the one pictured has 3 dividers on the bottom or 3 legs, were as if i got the 2 seperate beds i would lose that room underneath as it will have 4 and i will lose a bit of the access to the bottom bed as the side of the other bed would be there if understand its hard to explain lol

    thanks again x

    What a great idea, why not print off a pic then ask a local chippy/good DIYer how much to build it, if you brought three mattresses the frame could be built around there size, a friend had a bed custom built for her son's small box room to my surprise it didnt cost her very much at all,

    its worth asking. my sister in law had one made many yrs ago now. (a similar item to fit a room).
    lucky for her, a DIY friend did it for the beer money. he was really very good at carpentry.
    Get some gorm.
