2 min readTrends might come and go, but the question remains: How do you make the most of a small space? Well, according to Costco, the best ideas are hiding in plain sight. If you know, you know, but just in case you don’t, the wholesaler stealthily has some of the smartest solutions for our biggest home decor dilemmas. A cozy chair for reading? Check. Sun blinds to throw some stylish shade? Yup. And, of course, there are a lot of sheds to shop. Most recently, Costco released Bestar’s Illusion Bed, and we’re convinced it’s the best way to turn any room into a guest room.
At first glance, this pick looks like an ordinary credenza packed with plenty of storage. In reality? The cabinets open up to reveal a foldable queen bed frame—plus, yes, a mattress. While most Murphy beds offer an on-demand bed, the huge cabinet they’re hiding behind sticks out like a sore thumb and looks so…well, obvious. Fortunately, Bestar’s Illusion Bed feels a lot more discreet, offering a surprise-and-delight element that’s decidedly more subtle.
A cabinet-turned-crash pad? Turns out, the Illusion Bed has even more to offer. For starters, the structure has integrated USB and outlet ports, making it easy for guests to charge their devices. Meanwhile, an accompanying anti-tip kit and leg levelers that accommodate slanted floors help ensure the Illusion Bed stays as sturdy as possible. In fact, if you really want this piece to hide in plain sight, top it with a portable lamp or vase full of fresh flowers. That way, your space can look stylish even when the bed’s cleverly concealed.
In true Costco fashion, Bestar’s Illusion Bed offers more than a healthy mix of form and function: It’s affordable, too. Sure, the $1,550 price tag might elicit some sticker shock, but when you think about how much most people spend on a mattress alone, it’s actually a great deal.
That said, it can be difficult to find Costco products at your nearest store. Don’t worry: We’re already a step ahead; we tracked down similar styles you can buy on Amazon. With any luck, a good night’s sleep can be a Prime order away.
