Mike:

You’d only “save” space if you were still able to put something over that carpet – like a desk…or a bed. That something needs to get moved to access the safe. I do seriously like the idea of building a “safe” into the floor with solid concrete on all sides but the top – then conceal a “small” hoist in the ceiling to use in opening the door(s).

True there is some inconvenience, removing the mattress to access your gun, but its a good space saver. A front or side door with sliding interior would be the best I think so you would not need to remove the mattress, you just open the safe and slide the drawer out to access your gun. Also another idea would be to forget about the bed and make a size to install it … in the floor, just cover it with a carpet. It would be concealed and easy access and still save the space.

1. The bed height with the bunker legs, the bunker, box springs, and one of today’s huge mattresses would be VERY high – and obvious.
2. Access would be difficult at best. Try moving a king or queen size mattress over far enough to open one of the side doors, much less the center, or worse trying to get access to all the contents at once. Do these folks also over a “flotation device” to elevate the box spring and mattress into mid air to get to your gear? And most bedspreads will not be long enough to get anywhere near the floor.

Also, the most typical drill is to bolt a safe to the floor, in a corner. Here does anything get bolted down to the floor or into door jams? Appears not.

All that and the high price = no sale?

I was a cop for 29 years. I will tell you that residential burglars routinely turn over mattresses looking for valuables. This is common place for people to hide guns, money, and jewelry.They also look in night stands, dresser drawers, medicine chests, and master closets.

But I do like the fact that this doesn’t take up floor space like a regular gun safe will do.
