John Gudenkauf of Tucson, Arizona has created the perfect bed for your small space or tiny house.

Double Space Bed Systems was created by the joint effort of John and
Yani Gudenkauf. The original concept arose after researching and
planning out the details to build a comfortable “tiny house” of 200 sf.
Most very small / tiny homes utilize a loft-type bed to gain extra space,
and for John (a semi- claustrophobic person), this would not do. From
these efforts, the Double Space Bed System (DSBS) was born.

We started working on the Double Space Bed System in November of
2006. It was designed, engineered and built by John Gudenkauf, and
design and utility patents are pending. We endeavor to build craftsman
quality, elegant, easy-to-use products that will last a lifetime (or longer)
in the U.S.A. We use eco-friendly / green products and practices
whenever possible, and will offer eco-friendly/green versions of our
products, as well.

If you are serious about downsizing, than you need to stay connected through the Small House Society. The Small House Society was founded by Jay Shafer, Shay Salomon, Nigel Valdez, and Gregory Johnson.

The Small House Society is a voice for the Small House Movement. That movement includes movie stars who have downsized into 3000 square feet, families of five happy in an arts and crafts bungalow, multifamily housing in a variety of forms, and more extreme examples, such as people on houseboats and in trailers with just a few hundred square feet around them. Size is relative, and mainly we promote discussion about the ecological, economic and psychological toll that excessive housing takes on our lives, and what some of us are doing to live better. It’s not a movement about people claiming to be “tinier than thou” but rather people making their own choices toward simpler and smaller living however they feel best fits their life.
