Why we built it

A dorm bed is uncomfortable, ugly, and feels like a hotel cot. Yours doesn't have to.

The problems
  • Foam "headboards" that flop forward when you lean back
  • Pillows on the floor by 2 a.m.
  • A dorm bed that never feels like yours
  • Generic options that need a toolbox
Our fix
  • Real back support, a solid frame you can actually lean against
  • Pillows stay put all night
  • A room that finally feels like home
  • Slides on in under a minute. No tools.
