Castaway Bed requires the same footprint as a standard king bed with nightstands when closed. When open, the two platforms slide outward a total of up to 31 inches, so you will need additional clearance on each side. We recommend at least 18 inches of open wall space on either side of the bed. Not sure if it fits? Scroll down and send us a message, and our team will get back to you.

Castaway Bed uses a push-to-operate switch located on the back of each integrated nightstand. The bed moves only while the button is held and stops immediately when released. There is no remote control, no app, and no voice control — the switch is the only way to move the bed, by design.

Castaway Bed was designed for couples who want to share a bed without sacrificing sleep, families who co-sleep with young children, and pet owners whose dogs or cats inevitably end up between them. The hidden center platform creates a dedicated third space that works for all three.

Yes. The push-to-operate switch requires sustained pressure to move the bed — it stops the moment you release it. The bed will not move on its own and cannot be accidentally activated. The center platform also provides a stable, floor-supported space for children and pets when the bed is open.

Castaway Bed is compatible with any standard Twin XL mattress for the two main platforms. The center platform comes with its own mattress included. We recommend mattresses between 10 and 14 inches in height. If you have questions about a specific mattress, reach out and we can confirm compatibility before you order.
