Making a sustainable difference,
one bed at a time

Sustainability has been at the heart of Bed-Stay from the very beginning — driving every decision, from materials to transport.

It all started in 2015, when Gorinchem, in the Netherlands, faced a housing shortage for refugees. Peter Vogel, who knew a thing or two about tents, devised a clever solution: building enclosed beds out of leftover warehouse materials, complete with curtains for privacy. That's how the Bed-Stay concept was born. 

From the very start, we've designed our beds to be reused again and again as temporary, private structures, making a real difference for the environment and all sorts of people in all sorts of places.

We upcycle damaged sails to give them a second life

into storage bags for our beds - additionaly, we're also exploring cradle-to-cradle recycling solutions for our sail materials

Our damaged plastic couplings are repurposed as foot supports

they have a low 1% failure rate and will never be discarded when damaged as we will repurpose them back into our products
