Murphy Bed Depot builds its own melamine cabinet systems in the USA and also stocks other makers' cabinet beds, which is why it is the buy destination for several beds whose makers sell only through dealers.

Mechanism, mattress limit and warranty are on each bed's page. Swipe for the rest.

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 5 models from Murphy Bed Depot, running from $1,498 to $3,979. Sizes offered across the range: queen, twin, full, king.

How much Murphy Bed Depot actually publishes

Across those 5 models we look for 70 separate figures, and Murphy Bed Depot publishes 51 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:

  • the lift mechanism
  • the mattress weight window
  • assembly time

Within the range the Majestic Library Bed Supreme is the best documented and the Door Bed Frame the thinnest, so if you want to compare on paper rather than in a showroom, start with the former.

How Murphy Bed Depot compares with the rest of the market

On average price across everything each maker publishes, Murphy Bed Depot is the 6th cheapest of the 9 makers in our database that publish prices at all, undercutting 3 of them. The maker sitting closest to it on price is Murphy Door, about $20 apart on average, which makes it the obvious cross-shop. On documentation Murphy Bed Depot publishes 73% 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-xl in anything we track, so if that is your size you will need a different maker. Nothing in its range comes with sofa, table, which the full database covers.

Living with a Murphy Bed Depot murphy bed

Mattress depth is the constraint you meet first. Across this range the limit is 10 to 11 inches depending on the model. 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. No model here comes with a mattress, so add that to every price in the table above.

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: Lifetime warranty on the mechanism and frame, 5-year limited warranty on wood parts. Lifetime warranty on the steel frame.

What to ask Murphy Bed Depot 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 the lift mechanism on the model I am ordering, and can you put that in the order confirmation?
  • What is the mattress weight window on the model I am ordering, and can you put that in the order confirmation?
  • What is assembly time 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.
