Need some help designing a lift bed with storage underneath
Has anyone gotten a bed frame like this? Has it held up for you?

Hi everyone!
Located in USA and looking for a king-size hydraulic lift-up storage bed that doesnโt totally sacrifice aesthetics. Iโd love something neutral-colored, upholstered, and minimal!
Allewie and SHA CERLIN on Amazon have great reviews (I'm pretty sure it's the same product), but I'm worried they'll look super cheap IRL! I'm eyeing the beige color that looks more like grey in the pictures.
Must-haves:
In-stock and ships to USA
Good under-bed storage height (ideally for suitcase storage)
Supports my 14" thick mattress
Clean, simple design in a neutral-colored fabric (no white velvet!)
Budget: ideally <$600
Bonus: compact enough for small apartments and not crazy expensive
Beds I like but are sold out and/or out of my price range:
Wayfair - Wade Logan Brooklinn Upholstered Platform Storage Bed (perfect all around, but king size out of stock)
West Elm - Emmett Pop-Up Storage Bed
Sundays - Dream Bed and Cloud (pricey and unclear delivery date)
Saatva - Halle Storage Bed from Saatva (gorgeous, but way out of budget!)
Any suggestions or even good/bad experiences with products listed would be super helpful. Thanks so much!
ETA: Location, budget, and links!
This is part of my working design right now: http://i.imgur.com/IXCayUb.png. The blue is the base, everything else will lift up with the mattress on top.
The head of the bed is on the left side of the image, the foot on the right. The plan is to stand at the foot of the bed and lift up where the bed hinges along the red line and opens up the bottom to storage space, similar to this.
I am wanting to put it up against the wall with either no headboard or a simple headboard just for looks. The problem is, I can't work out how to hinge it without the wall being in the way when the bed lifts up. I've estimated that the top of the bed will be about 20 inches above the hinge and it looks like I'm going to need at least a foot of space behind it in order to have clearance to lift the bed without it hitting the wall and getting stuck.
I'm planning on using 3 door hinges to make the bed easy to disassemble for moving too.
Has anyone built anything similar or have any ideas how I can work around this without hitting a wall?
