Abstract

A modular bed allows users to reconfigure the bed to suit different room requirements and to suit different users. A bed leg may be attached to a bed rail with a dovetail tenon and socket to allow the bed leg to be removed if desired or to change length of style of the leg. The leg joint provides a highly stable and secure joint. A rail bracket may be used to attach bed rails to bed posts in different locations and in different configurations to allow the same bed components to form part of a floor bed, a conventional bed, a loft bed, or a bunk bed. The bed provides improved strength and stability.
