Multi-Use doesn't have to be a folding couch style.

Why not do the large drawer style system for a multi-use bed ??

The whole mattress ( any kind of mattress you want ) ... just slides out of the way when not in use ... I've seen some people even design it so it can slide out partially into a type of sitting area on the smaller part of the exposed bed... so during those other ~16 Hours when you aren't sleeping you don't need it eating up as much living space.

One such Tiny house example of this kind of bed can be seen here:

Of course a loft is also a valid option for those who like sleeping in lofts.
