RETRACTABLE BED
A retractable furniture unit, preferably a retractable bed (10) is disclosed having a frame (12), a platform (14) connected to the frame and means for moving (16) the platform between raised and lowered positions. Braces (30) secured to the frame support the platform when in the lowered position, preferably at a height sufficient to permit furniture to be situated thereunder. End members (24a and 24b) inhibit movement of the platform while the platform is in the lowered position. A collapsible desktop may also be secured to the retractable bed.
