Specs read from manufacturer pages. Each bed's page lists its source and check date. “—” means not yet sourced, never guessed. Any “lowest price” or “least floor space” label is arithmetic on the column above, not a paid placement.
The range, in numbers
We track 6 models from Bestar, running from $750 to $2,900. Sizes offered across the range: queen, full. Every model we track uses a piston lift.
How much Bestar actually publishes
Across those 6 models we look for 84 separate figures, and Bestar publishes 62 of them. That is the number worth knowing before you shortlist a maker, because a spec the manufacturer never states is one you end up chasing by phone.
These are missing on every single model in the range, so it is a house policy rather than an oversight on one product page:
- assembly time
- closed depth
Within the range the Pur 59W Full Murphy Bed is the best documented and the Pur 69W Full Cabinet Bed with Mattress the thinnest, so if you want to compare on paper rather than in a showroom, start with the former.
How Bestar compares with the rest of the market
On average price across everything each maker publishes, Bestar is the 4th cheapest of the 9 makers in our database that publish prices at all, undercutting 5 of them. The maker sitting closest to it on price is BredaBeds, about $7 apart on average, which makes it the obvious cross-shop. On documentation Bestar publishes 74% of the figures we look for, against 66% across the database as a whole, so it is more forthcoming than the category average.
It does not offer twin, king, twin-xl in anything we track, so if that is your size you will need a different maker. Nothing in its range comes with sofa, desk, table, which the full database covers.
Living with a Bestar murphy bed
Mattress depth is the constraint you meet first. Across this range the limit is 10 to 12 inches depending on the model, with the lift rated to 90 lbs. Measure the mattress you own before you assume it transfers, because a mattress that is too deep stops the cabinet closing flush and there is no adjusting around it. 1 of these include a mattress and 5 do not, so check the row before comparing prices across the range.
These are fixed to the structure of the room, so installation needs studs or solid blocking and is worth confirming before delivery day. Prices are published, so you can compare this range against others without contacting anyone. Warranty terms vary across the range: Bestar 10 Year Manufacturer's Warranty. 10-year cabinet, 2-year folding mechanism, 1-year mattress.

What to ask Bestar before ordering
Every gap in the tables above is a question somebody has to answer eventually, and it is cheaper to ask now than after delivery. These are the ones this maker leaves open across its whole range, so take them to a salesperson and get the answers in writing.
- What is assembly time on the model I am ordering, and can you put that in the order confirmation?
- What is closed depth on the model I am ordering, and can you put that in the order confirmation?
How readily a maker answers these is information in itself. The ones that quote a figure without hesitating tend to be the ones that publish it in the first place.
