my daughter's bedroom is the box room and she has a box built in over the stairs, which takes up half her bedroom, so i want to get her a pine mid sleeper bed but i wanted to know that if i cut down the legs on the bed where the box is and screwed the legs directly to the wall with some strong fixings would this work or is it a silly idea
cheers

I did pretty much this for someone recently. Keeping the strength in the bed is the important part.
I fixed a substantial batten on the wall, at the height of the underside of the side rails. That allowed me to cut the legs off and the end of the headboard frame to sit on the batten, with a couple of screws to stop it moving.

do you mean the cupboard will accommodate part off the bed without altering the cupboard??

so its like you screwed another leg to the wall in the middle of where the legs are,sorry just never done anything like this before

id love to get you a pic but the lils asleep,its not a cupboard its just a little box but its at an angle

i make a lot off beds that are are alcove shaped as long as you can get a mattress in you can make a bed

excuse the drawing but this is what i was thinking

first thoughts
what is the wall made from ??
you could probably be neater and remove the legs and screw the bed end on the wall dependent on construction

so has anyone got an idea of what would be a reasonable price for 1 to fit a prebuilt bed or to build a midsleeper from scratch and the walls are brick and the little bit of wall above the stair box is plasterboard

2 sides 2 ends 6m 4x1" or 6x1" depends on span 4x1 £1.48 per m 6x1 £2.40 per m
6m 2x1" batons 78p per m ---slats 4x1" 2.5 to 3" apart 12x1m
4x1" handrails about 3m 2x2 for legs plus ladder
materials £120- 180
plus making plus fitting plus mattress
