  • Publication number: 20240115053
    Abstract: The multiple-tier bunk-bed system offers a safer, more convenient, and easier-to-use three-sleeper bunk bed. This third bed slides out from the bottom and locks into place. The slide-out bed can lock before it is completely removed, leaving no gap or space between the beds. Additionally, the bed can have retractable side rails, preferably made from wood, matching the material of the bed frame. When the side rails are retracted, there can be a retractable wooden flap that slips right over the rail, leaving the visual impression of a clean finish, as well as allowing the bed to be used and look attractive with or without the rails.
