murphy bed Explanation: In the US, these beds are popular. They lift up during the day, flush against the wall, pull down at night. Saves a lot of space and can be very decorative. An option. |

bedstead/bed frame for sprung mattress Explanation: I had to translate a bedroom furniture catalogue once (empathy!) and I asked the customer what the "bañera" was and he said, "translate the same as bancada" (I wasn't much the wiser!) However, the "bañera" just seems to be the bed frame, which supports a mattress. Examples (first English, second Spanish) in the links below. Here is a catalogue with plenty of drawings of "bañeras": http://www.camobel.info/tarifa/juvenilesgrueso4cm/01d73e984c... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-09-22 22:52:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry, the google images link doesn't work, maybe this one might: http://www.mahersolhogar.com/producto/227/dormitorio-juvenil...
