Been there done that. Lots of things are fun at 110 pounds. For us that is a huge obstacle while sailing, a hassle to put away so an obstacle to sailing as well. I have to have a walkway when the bed is available for use, hence the focus on making a pullout double on the port side.

Frank, I know what you mean as far as the bed being somewhat in the way when not in use. I have been saying for a couple of months now that I am in the design phase of adding the queen size bed to the cabin. One of the requirements is that whatever supports it across the settees must be light and easily stored.

At the moment, I am trying to work out a system that uses wooden dowels for support. The doweling would be large enough to set several across the cabin opening at 4"-6" or even 8" intervals. This would spread out the support underneath the mattress. For storage, I am considering putting clips on the front underneath side of the settees similar to others that use them for whisker and spinnaker poles. I want to avoid the large pieces of ply, or large wide pieces of material that are hard to store after use.

Once I get it worked out I will post it with pics. I want it convenient, easily assembled, quickly stored, and a small enough hassle to use that taking it down daily is not a chore. I may not get there, but I am not giving up yet.

How about a netting solution to hold an inflatable bed?

Here are some of the highlights of the pool table. Looks like it is made a for all cruise and luxury ships. (C-25 still in the running.) No Technical skills are required to use the table and they will even custom design it for your interior. And you can add a billing option to have your friends help pay for it

I will have to pass on the table though. The admiral likes to bowl instead so I guess we will have to put in the bowling alley mentioned in the last highlight.

Highlights!
• Suitable for all cruise and luxury ships.
• The modular design makes it easy to install on any
cruise ship.
• No technical skills are required to use the table.
• Provides excellent pool conditions even during rough seas.
• Custom design to match your interior.
• State-of-the-art computer-controlled servo system and
sensor technology.
• Easy operation: Turn on the power, push the start button
and you are ready to go!
• Modular and rugged design.
• An optional billing system can be installed.
• Our technology can be exploited in numerous applications
beside STable, i.e. luxury class beds, bowling lanes and
fountains.

They alread have a bed http://www.stable.no/bed.html.
And I quote "...the bed also cure heavily seasick people within 10-30 minutes.". Sounds good and all but who wants to cross an ocean in bed? Well, maybe if you combine it with the stable head...
