The LeafBed is a patented camp bed solely made of cardboard, a material that is available anywhere in quantities. Leaf Supply produces locally to supply with reactivity and flexibility a product that is simple, efficient, ecological and dedicated to temporary housing.
 
An adaptable design
The LeafBed is assembled from 4 identical modules that can have alternative uses:
● 4 modules for an adult bed
● 3 modules for kid bed
● 2 modules for a small table
● 1 module for a stool
● A compartment on each module allows user to secure belongings inside the bed while sleeping.
● 2 trestles for a big table
 
An efficient product
The LeafBed has been designed to be ergonomic and adaptable while using only a very simple and basic material.
Contrary to popular belief, cardboard is very resistant. The LeafBed can support up to 300kg and face a very high hygrometry (up to 75 % of relative humidity in the atmosphere).
Biodegradable and recyclable, has a positive carbon balance contrary to classical bedding solutions.
