Alex’s bed is possibly the most notable set piece in the series. We’ve all fantasized about sleeping on the job…but how many of us have built an elaborate trundle to slumber in style? Using google sketch up, I outlined a small cot that would fit comfortably under our rented cubicle desk.

To keep things sufficiently complicated, the owner of the office building told me I could not leave the bed underneath the desk during non-shoot days, so the bed needed to collapse!

If anyone out there, like me, sleeps on an air mattress or the floor…behold the sexy alternative:
*Two 2″x6″x10′ boards
*Two 1″x1″x36″ dowels
*Two L-bracket rails or something similar
*Six 1″x2″x8′ furring strips
*Four hinges with removable pin
*One Pack of wood screws
*Foam of your choice. This is where it can get pricey. I brought Erik Smith shopping with me to play Goldilocks at FoamMart.

A little more than $50 and an hour of your time and you can sleep like a Squatter!
