The ladder frame doesn't have to be any more than about an inch thick, I don't think, and you could build it to fold either under or over the mattress. But if you truly have zero clearance, then I guess the ladder frame would have to be removable, by replacing the screwed-down strap hinges at the top with flat hooks that would simply drop over the edge of the mattress box. Then you could lift off the ladder frame at will, and carry it someplace like the bathtub. Anything of this sort makes it more difficult to get into the drawers, of course.
