True of every Murphy Door model we track: Patented gas-piston pull-down mechanism machined in house, counterbalanced to the mattress weight and rated to 600 lbs. Takes a standard mattress up to 11 inches with no box spring, and the mattress is not included. The maker gives the open depth only as an approximation in prose rather than a specification, so we leave it blank rather than record a rounded marketing figure. The published price is a single starting figure with size selected as an option, and it is recorded here against the smallest size offered.
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.

How much Murphy Door actually publishes
Across those 5 models we look for 62 separate figures, and Murphy Door publishes 38 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 mattress weight window
- assembly time
Within the range the Murphy Bed is the best documented and the Media Console Murphy Bed the thinnest, so if you want to compare on paper rather than in a showroom, start with the former.
How Murphy Door compares with the rest of the market
On average price across everything each maker publishes, Murphy Door is the 5th cheapest of the 9 makers in our database that publish prices at all, undercutting 4 of them. The maker sitting closest to it on price is Murphy Bed Depot, about $20 apart on average, which makes it the obvious cross-shop.
Nothing in its range comes with sofa, table, which the full database covers.
Living with a Murphy Door murphy bed
Mattress depth is the constraint you meet first. Across this range the limit is 11 inches on every model that states one. 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 across the range: 5 year coverage on the piston mechanism, frame, hardware and structural steel.

What to ask Murphy Door 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 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.
