I wonder if calculating volume from SM is actually a better idea.
First, the area of a hex isn't 0.64 square yards - it's 0.86 square yards. I'm not at all sure where you got 0.64 square yards from.

Second, yes a bed will extend a *little* bit into the corners of the 'edge' hexes, but it's close enough.

Third, beds are still likely to be bunk-beds even in Cabins.
