Bed design - sounds simple, buy beds.

 - Update, these continue to work as good as the day they were made. Customers continue to praise the Orthopedic Mattresses but a good foundation helps to keep the Mattresses lasting longer, as do mattress protectors on top of the mattress. We did convert several rooms to double queen and on those the bed closest to door is using a wood frame base so for the best sleep choose the concrete base.

Not so simple, Box springs are quite rare there, a common wood bed base does away with the box spring completely but it could be destroyed by termites. Often in Hotels Beds are built on a base, so too in Mexico but most often the base is concrete as a raised portion of the floor.

I've laid out a couple bed designs using the Foam, Steel Panel which are covered with concrete. These panels of 2" foam which make a 4" panel x 4 feet x 8 feet cost about $40.00 each. Plus of course the time and concrete to make them into beds. Its best to use a panel design with mesh thats close as the concrete is easier to apply. See www.tridipanel.com.mx www.tridipanel.com and www.covintec.com for suppliers. 

These beds frames are still heavy requiring several people to move them about a room and were made in place in the room on plastic, but for Hotel design they are excellent providing extra space under the bed for people with lots of luggage.

I expect someone will some day improve the design by making the pieces individual with 5 interlocking pieces and using molds instead of hand applying the concrete, then they can sell them commercially. I wish I had thought of it before they were done as above.
