During the first lockdown in March 2020 I decided to take my thoughts, creativity and aspirations about visualising a dream sequence to the next stage. I spent several weeks in my garage drawing up designs and working through the physicality's of creating such a prop as I had envisaged. I had some key points on my checklist:

It needed to be light enough to carry for a long period of time over rough ground

It needed to look like an authentic bed

It had to be quick and simple to put up and take down

It needed to fit the dimensions of an air mattress

It had to take my weight

It needed to fit into my car / and 80l rucksack

It had to be able to withstand a great number of shoots

The result was an authentic, lightweight, flat-pack bed which could be single-handedly transported to locations across Scotland.
