Hi Patricia, this article should give you some ideas and tips on how to hang a bed or chairs from the ceiling https://remingtonavenue.com/how-to-build-a-suspended-bed-18.html

Unless you have access to the support beam i would say no. You can lift the floorboard from upstairs and add more support if you have access.

You need to screw them into an existing support beam in the ceiling

My professional opinion is you’ll need to have a framer come look at this.

There’s not only the size of the Possible beam or header at the tangent of the bay window, but there’s also span length and where the load is transferred to the foundation.

Consider only the chairs, no floor/ceiling joists are made to hold the kinetic load of a bed.

Wood is miserable in Tension and fabulous at Compression.

You will need to attach them to a beam in the ceiling and be sure to hang it up with hardware that supports 400lbs.

They would have to be suspended from joists or or heavy beams in the ceiling to support the weight you mention. Here are some mounts from Amazon that might work for your purpose:

I had a swinging bed on my houseboat back in the day, it was hung from the roof rafters which were sistered with extra lumber to beef them up to 4"x4". So I agree you would have to cut a hole in the ceiling or go upstairs and lift the floor to beef up the structure to hold the weight.

You would need to put it into beems to hold with sturdy hooks and chains

Hello Patricia,

Get an Engineers report and then decide, or make a frame instead to hold it!
