Murphy Bed Compare

Maker against maker

Lori Beds vs BredaBeds

Two direct-to-consumer bets. Lori puts everything into one simple bed design with a gas-piston lift and prices it sharply. BredaBeds builds to order in Utah and spends your money on range: more sizes, horizontal layouts, desk and sofa configurations. The table shows what each choice buys you, spec by spec.

Lori Beds vs BredaBeds, maker against maker

The table above compares individual beds. This one compares the two companies, every row built from the records we hold on each. The rows where they actually diverge are marked, because on most specs these two are closer than their marketing suggests.

They diverge on 10 of the 11 rows, most usefully on models we track, price from, price ceiling. Everything else is close enough that it should not decide your purchase. A — means neither maker publishes that figure, not that it does not apply.

Pick Lori if

You want a straightforward vertical or horizontal bed, the sofa bundle covers your configuration needs, and price leads the decision. One design refined and sold direct is exactly how they keep the number down.

Pick BredaBeds if

You need a configuration Lori does not make, like a desk bed or a specific horizontal model, or you want a bed built to order rather than picked from stock. You pay more and you get the range.

Which one fits the room you actually have

Range and price are the arguments people have about these two. Room depth is the one that settles it, and it is the spec neither brand leads with. Both makers offer horizontal layouts, which is the real lever if the room is short on depth or the ceiling is low. Run your own measurements through the room-fit calculator before taking either brand's word for it, because it checks each configuration separately rather than treating a brand as one answer.

Frequently asked questions

What is the real difference between Lori Beds and BredaBeds?

Product range versus focus. Lori sells essentially one bed design with a double-chamber gas-piston lift, in a few sizes and orientations, plus a sofa bundle. BredaBeds builds to order with more sizes, horizontal models and desk or sofa configurations. Both use assisted lifts.

Do both brands include the mattress?

No. Both sell the bed cabinet and mechanism with the mattress separate. Check the max thickness and weight rows in the table before reusing a mattress you own.
