Cass Hudson Co's Sleep&Store Installation Video, Non-OEM

This is a step-by-step video installation guide on how to retrofit the patented Cass Hudson Co. BDAS-2510 Sleep&Store bed lift into a non-OEM application for after-market use. Note that the bedframe, fasteners, wall studs, and installation procedure all impact max weight and safety of the system. If possible, check with original manufacturer before installation to verify load ratings and warranty responsibilities.

Wow! What an ingenious, economical solution to what is normally a frustratingly complicated and brutally expensive problem. I will probably be contacting you guys in less than a year when I start my retirement build. 👍

What a great idea 💡.

[@bethbrown8912]

Its a great idea, but when you add the weight of a mattress, everything changes. Its a bear to lift into the "up" position. if you are not standing dead center and lifting, it gets "cockeyed" and you have to lower the thing and start over. It might work better with something like a 4" mattress pad that weighs next to nothing, but put a normal 10" mattress (Queen) on there, the entire dynamics change. Its still a good alternative to a $2500 happy jac, but its not as easy as this video makes it out to be.

Is this for any size of bed or does it need to be a specific size

[@yamahaxt652]

What weight rating did you use for the shocks?

Where can you buy this set up

[@athomas4835]

Mine works nothing like that ...smh

[@meeyou3128]

Where do I get one of these?

[@juzzie3178]

Has anyone installed this on a van or doesn’t it work because it’s not square?

[@mauricelowery9711]

Can you tell us the distance the bed is from the floor when in lowest position?

[@wzfunster55]

Hi Maurice, there are a couple of variables to take into account to figure that out. You'll need your overall ceiling height and the thickness of your mattress that you'll be using (this determines how far away from the ceiling you can set the system up). The overall height from the top of the channel guide to the buttom of the sleeping rails in our BDAS-2510 Sleep&Store is 36", when using a 4" mattress you will need to mount the system 2.5 inches from the ceiling to accommodate the roll up action of the system. So if your ceiling height was 86" the bed system in down position would be 86- 38.5(2.5+36) or 47.5" of clearance from the floor. I hope this anwsers your question! you can visit casshudson.com and get a full list of install instructions.

What's the clearance height?

[@Rexster2022]

Need a ladder to get in and out of bed

$700 greedy much. It's only a few feet of steel. TH-cam has videos showing how to build these for under a hundred dollars.
