Bed Bunker - Safe in a Bed

Take a look at the Bed Bunker.
Cool idea. A BG would find it, I think, because most would probably look under the mattress.
But I like the concept.
Saves floor space of a freestanding safe.
It looks like a fairly heavy duty safe, if quite expensive.

Interesting idea. Not very convenient and too expense is my vote.

Looks like one of those 'better on paper' ideas. Also, does the bed frame support its weight?? That would be a lot to ask of most bed frames.
If I used it, it would be for something besides guns... documents maybe... either way, too expensive for its purpose.

1,450 pounds..... 3/4 ton... EMPTY.!
I have to assume that the safe sits on the floor and the bed frame goes around it...
That's how it appears in the photo...
They sure do like it a whole lot for $4,500... Woo-Hoo.

How often do you access your safe? You could significantly shorten the life of your mattress pulling it off a couple times a day.
For $5k I could probably convert a closet into a safe room.

For the price, the locks and bolts seem pretty cheesy.

Oh yeah, my wife would just love me dumping her out of bed whenever there's a noise in the house (or before leaving to go shooting/hunting in the wee hours of the morning). I don't believe they thought this one through!

SURELY you don't have all your guns, including your nightstand gun, locked in the safe all night?
This safe is for backup/overstock.
Actually, I need a bigger safe but don't have any place to put one.
I'd buy this if the price was about a fourth what is listed.

The comment was more tongue in cheek. But there are times when I leave early in the morning and need to retrieve multiple rifles from the safe.
That said I do have put my nightstand gun in a safe (one of the single gun types with the pushbutton combinations) when the little ones come for a visit.
