   Does your customer want a Murphy Bed in the cabinetry package?  I don't think that website actually has a bed.

   In looking at the drawings and talking to the supplier, they (zoom room) supply the bed.  and yes, the client wants a bed "just like in the picture".  I just have to do the cabinetry component.

   Very interesting, but as I read the material I wonder if the clients realize that all the bedding except for the fitted bottom sheet probably has to be stripped before the bed can be closed up.  This doesn't have to happen with the traditional Murphy bed.   And, have they actually lain on one of the beds and mattresses?   I know that the customer is always right, but it doesn't hurt to check that they are going into this with eyes open.

   Your clients must not have back problems of any kind.  A mattress that will flex like that isn't going to last long at all under the load of a sleeping human.  Children maybe?  Cool idea though!

   It's a foam mattress. Some of them are very high-end (thousands of dollars).

   I have one of those "high end" foam mattresses -- memory foam.  Not sure how it would respond to that mechanism.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)

   This is actually going to be a "spare room" type of situation.  They want this is a building destined to be the "pool house".  Basically it's an extra living space they are having built.  So, it won't get everyday wear and tear.  All I know it that I have to design bookcases on either side, with doors, and it has to "match" the rest of the decor!  It would be a very nice project to build.
