Spaceships, Floor / Deck Plans, Volume and Hexes

Greetings, all!

Trying to figure out the amount of space, I see something troubling. According to the author's expansion, an SM+8 ship's systems provide about 16-50 one-yard hexes each. A Habitat module for SM+8 provides 6 Cabins, with each cabin being suitable for accommodating two people.
That's somewhere between 1.33 to 4.16 hexes per person.
A single one-yard hex is the equivalent of 0.54m² (0.64yd²). At best, this means 2.24m² (2.66yd²) of place per person.

How is one supposed to fit a bed, let alone a cabin, into that amount of space?

Thanks in advance!
