Abstract

A wall bed is disclosed employing a linkage assembly which moves the wall bed outwardly from the wall cavity in a fashion so that the head end of the bed will not be in the wall cavity and the level of the mattress will be at a height which approximately corresponds to the height of conventional beds. There is also provided a counter balancing spring assembly employing an angle member which connects extension springs to the bed base so that they are contained within a compact structure which is received within the wall cavity. A headboard is also provided which may be tilted rearwardly or positioned at a right angle to the sleeping surface.
