So here it is in all it's flat-pack, self-assembly glory. One three-quarter width rock'n'roll bed frame from Bluebird Customs.
After a show-season of mulling-over different bed setups we have chosen the old style, straight forward rock'n'roll mechanism; it works well and gives a good quality seat in the upright position. We weren't keen on the look of some of the other 'sliding' seats that have two support legs at the front, limiting front access for under-bed storage.
The rock'n'roll bed has come along way since our old T3 version; which was little more than two hinges and some plyboard, this is a fully powder-coated frame made from 3/4" square tubing, laser-cut brackets, it's all MOT compliant.
One other great feature over the old system is the EZBACK mechanism for easy bed-to-seat return in one operation; no springs to ping and flimsy pins to pop - we've had a demonstration and are more than convinced this works!
Within the next few weeks you should hopefully follow the fitting of the bed frame, it might be a while yet before a full test-sleep!
