People looking for plans, check out this article. From the article, there is no one at the present time making them for sale. This is a purely diy project. The person who wrote the article has plans. I haven’t a use for something like this, just posting to help others.
The designer is a guy named Robert MacPherson who designed it to be able to take to Pennsic a medieval week long get together…and being older didn’t want to sleep on the ground! Here’s a link to plans for it by another cabinetmaker as Mr. MacPherson has chosen not to publish plans, he has however given permission for others to reengineer it:

I would love to see and post pictures on the website for anyone that builds the Bed-In-A-Box. Happy holidays and all the best for 2014.

So that’s putting it nicely. To steal someone’s ideas and then grumble about people wanting to copy! They should have gotten the OK and posted a link to the original website to be responsible” DESIGNERS”.
It’s a great idea but not original. Wealthy British explorers used this general mechanism in the 17/18/1900s when “campaigning”. Think the elaborate camping tours in India, safari tents in Africa, etc.You can occasionally find antiques of the same idea but with canvas cot built in in lieu of mattress.
Are you selling the plans. I would so love one for my place. Its a 1 bedroom place and its small, so this would work! Would make it myself
I am in South Africa

You could leave the headboard up and use it as a bench when not in use as a bed!
Класс! Сколько стоит и где можно купить?
Would like to purchase one of the bed in a box plans or already done thank you
Like the article states, the mattress is an air mattress… so you pump it up when needed.
where do i buy the bed? Mac Pherson’s Bed-box
Use a blow up mattress.
You can use a air mattress or a roll up mattress for a bed like this.
Article states that you add an inflatable.
