I've searched the forums and haven't found anyone so far using an adjustable bed frame. I will be building out a 159" ext. high roof towards the end of 2018 and have begun the research part of the project and getting ideas. My wife and I have an adjustable bed now and don't sleep well flat and we found a few companies that make inexpensive manual bed frames that may or may not fit the ProMaster and wanted to get some input. We want to mount our bed East-West (transverse) but the length of the frame is 75". Pragma Bed has a full size that is 54 X 75". I'd cut the legs off the bed base and support the outer frame around the perimeter above our garage space. I may have to build my own and buy the hinges but felt that the Pragma would just make it easier, lighter and less time provided it will fit.
I'll also have to make sure that when in the inclined position that we have room so we don't hit our heads on the cabinets above us. This will make it more comfortable to watch movies or read at night. They make a motorized unit but I don't know if I want to have any obstructions under the bed. I'm concerned that if I attached a strip of aluminum or steel to the wall frame that I'll not have a thermal break.
I'll be posting a few other ideas before I get started on my master build out post. We will be full-time living out of the PM and still want some creature comforts.
