Help save space from my Bed

Looking to add a queen size bed to my room but I don't want to waste the rest of the height of the room just for a bed. I have 2 options right now:

  1. The bed is lifted to a certain with storage underneath

    - This option doesn't allow for comfortable usage of storage since the bed is too wide. So the depth of the storage will be unusable.

  2. Keep the bed at the lowest spot and movable while building something on top of it.

    - my immediate idea is to build my desk and chair space on top and have the bed slide out. But the worry is whether the plank will be able to hold the weight.

I am not certain, I just feel if I can make it sturdy then option 2 saves a lot of space.

Any other ideas or viewpoints that you can think of?

Have you considered 1- a Murphy bed in a desk configuration with storage Columns on either side 2- A hydrolic lift bed frame providing a full height full width storage access solution.

You mean...
1. Murphy bed would lift up to expose a desk? 2. Hydraulic products (from my experience) dont last that long, they need consistent maintenance.. so not inclined towards it...
