The product description reads as follows:
The Julian Bowen Hornblower guest bed is ideal for bedrooms that are short on space. An Antique Pine cabin bed frame which transforms with ease into an additional full size single bed. Perfect bedroom addition for youngsters who like to have friends stay over.There is no mention of whether the "unexpected guest" happens to be a cute blond lieutenant.
Although the Hornblower bed frame is slightly higher than a normal single bed we think you will agree that it is still a perfectly safe height for all but the youngest of children. The guest bed is pulled out easily on castors making this a great solution for unexpected guests.
There are also 3 storage drawers built into the lower bed which is ideal for storing clothes or keeping toys tidy. The picture would indicate six drawers but the top 3 are false drawer fronts just to keep symmetry and a look that any captain would be proud of.
Supporting the mattresses is a strong sprung slatted base offering extra stability to the bedstead and sits within the frame. The natural bounce in the slats means they will adjust to your profile where you exert the most pressure.

I am wondering what profile will be left impressed on the mattress following the bouncing and exertion of pressure ;)

Date: 2010-07-29 09:32 pm (UTC)Is it just me or is that set up just waiting for someone to roll over and fall on the person on the bottom bed?

Date: 2010-07-30 08:36 pm (UTC)Isn't it?! You can just imagine small boy Horatio driving Dr Hornblower demented by demanding that he must have that specific bed and that no other will do.
