Yes, it's a Murphy bed but I didn't know they were called that.

@xFiacre I didn't know that until I was trying to find a clip of one used in a comedy and I found this

Those look just like the cushions we have in our wooden dining room chairs.

Of course, ours are old now so aren't as pretty as yours are. They're still really comfortable. I look forward to seeing the vertical bed. I've heard of them but never seen one.

@JudyEv I agree, they do look really good. And ours don't have velcro straps. Ours tie around the spindle on the chair.

The cushions look good really and the Velcro straps keep them in place.

@DaddyEvil That's just as effective. You find Velcro everywhere nowadays. It's very handy but sometimes it sticks to stuff you don't want it to.

@JudyEv Oh...ok..I know what Murphy beds are. I thought you all sleep vertically, and I found it to be very strange...

@vandana7 There are some countries where they bury people vertically because there is no flat ground.

Or, if we don't sit side by side, there is room for us to be beside ourselves.

I'm sure you'll be amazed at all the different items that they sell. Being Swedish, everything seems just that little bit different. They have some great ways of doing things.

Before I read your post I looked at the cushions and said to myself, those look like the same Ikea cushions that I buy, and now I see that is exactly what they are. Ikea sure gets around lol

Some of the items in Ikea are incredibly good value. I bought two box-type affairs that fit nicely within shelves and they were only $5 each.

The cushions work well with the bench. It is a lovely bench, but I don't think it would be too comfortable to sit on without them.
