Murphy beds, or a hideaway beds, have become increasingly popular with homeowners in recent years as they can save huge floor space in small houses or tiny apartments. These beds come in two models: Murphy wall-beds and Murphy cabinet beds.
Murphy wall-beds are the easiest and quickest to fold down as they are attached to a wall and just pull down when needed. You can even leave the bedding and pillows on the bed as most models come with anchor straps to hold the mattress when it is in vertical position.
Cabinet Murphy beds are ideal when you have guests over as they take less space than wall beds and can be easily taken for a cabinet. Cabinet beds need slightly more time and effort to assembly than wall beds and should be used only occasionally as latches may start having issues after frequent use. For daily use we recommend a pull-down Murphy bed. Now, let’s have a look at our top picks for Murphy beds this year and what makes each model stand out.
This kit from Bestar contains a Murphy wall bed and a detachable 25” storage unit. The Pur 90″ Queen wall bed looks very classy as it is well designed and built from premium press board. It does not come with a mattress or box spring, but you won’t need a box spring as the patented Euroslat mattress support system makes the bed very comfortable.
You can install the storage unit next to the bed as shown in the picture or separately in the room, or you can order a second one instead to have two of them to mount on both sides of the bed. This versatile wall-bed is great for guest rooms, media rooms, studios, and home offices. Really great value for the price.
This classic southwestern piece in dark rich hues and warm tones will bring rustic charm into every home. Secretly doubling as a wall bed, the RUSTIC Pine armoire Murphy bed can easily become the center piece of any room in your home.
This hand made Murphy bed sports a very durable build and premium finish to last you a lifetime. The hideaway bed can be removed, and with some small tweaks, the unit can be turned into a rustic armoire. The product comes in two versions: the light honey pine stain (pictured) and the dark coffee bean stain.
If you want a no-frills Murphy bed that will last a long time but you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for it, then this wall bed is for you. Dozens of happy customers have reported that the BESTAR Nebula Full Wall Bed is holding up incredibly well (no scratches or dinks) after more than one year of plenty of use.
Just like the Pur model, this wall-bed sports the Euroslat mattress support system but it comes with no mattress. Just make sure that you buy a double or full mattress that weighs at least 70 lbs, as the unit’s dual-piston system doesn’t allow it to stay down with a lighter mattress. This model is ideal for turning a really small room into a multipurpose like a playroom/guestroom.
This stylish Murphy cabinet bed and solid credenza perfectly doubles as an instant extra bed without taking too much floor space as a daybed or couch would. It is well-built and clearly designed to last. It is very easy to deploy and the foldable memory foam mattress is surprisingly comfortable and folds up very tightly inside the cabinet.
As an extra, the Sagebrush Murphy Cabinet Bed comes with foldout tables and 2 usb ports and 2 power ports on the bottom of the right side under the tables. The cabinet is also available in dark chocolate color. A comfy queen bed by night and a stylish credenza by day, this Murphy cabinet bed is extremely practical in a tiny room.
This queen size Murphy wall bed from Bestar comes with two storage units with doors. It is the perfect size for a guest room that can double as a workout room. It is a well-made piece of furniture with an incredible finish that will last a long time.
It features the brand’s Euroslat mattress support system and a safe dual piston system for you to easily pull the bed down and fold up again. It is kids safe as the handle is located high and it requires some adult muscle to pull the whole thing down. Also, the bed doesn’t come down abruptly– about half way through it moves slowly before coming down quickly. This is sturdy and classy wall bed that’s ideal for maximizing room space without your guests even knowing that it’s there.
And for all the pet lovers out there, know that your dog can enjoy the comfort and convenience of a Murphy bed too. This Murphy cabinet bed for pets can be pulled down for your pet to rest and folded back up to save space. It accommodates one medium-size dog or two small dogs. Are you a posh pet owner? If the answer is ‘yes’ or ‘maybe,’ a stylish Murphy bed for your pet is the missing puzzle piece.
