Full Murphy Bed Models, Compared on Specs

A full murphy bed splits the difference, with more sleeping width than a twin and none of the queen footprint. It is the guest-room favorite for rooms that also need to stay rooms. The table compares every full size model we track on the specs that decide fit.

Styled illustration, not a specific model we track.

We track 17 full murphy beds from 6 makers. Published prices run $750 to $6,495. They reach 61.5 to 88 inches into the room when open, so the deepest needs about 112 inches of clear floor once 24 inches of walking room is allowed for, and the shallowest about 85.5. 7 of the 17 publish that open depth at all. Where a maker does not, we leave it blank rather than estimate it.

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.

What the numbers say

That 26.5 inch spread between the shallowest and the deepest is the difference between fitting a room and not, and it is the number most buyers never think to compare. In practical terms the deepest model here wants a room about 9.3 feet from the mounting wall to whatever is opposite it, walking room included. 12 of these 17 carry no published price at all, usually because the maker sells through dealers rather than direct. Across the group the makers publish 163 of the 238 figures we look for, which is worth knowing before you assume a spec sheet will answer your question.

What stands out, and why

Bestar Pur 69W Full Cabinet Bed with Mattress at $750. The cheapest published price in this group. Confirm it against the current listing, because this category discounts almost permanently.
BredaBeds Horizontal Urban Murphy Bed at 13" mattress. Takes the deepest mattress here, which matters if you intend to keep the one you already own.
Bestar Pur 59W Full Murphy Bed at 79% documented. The maker publishes more of its numbers than anyone else in this group, so it is the one you can actually compare on paper.

These are picked by sorting the table above, not by any commercial arrangement. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.

How to choose a full murphy bed

Start with floor depth, not wall width

Wall width is the easy measurement and almost never the problem. The number that decides it is how far the bed reaches into the room when it is down, which across this group runs from 61.5 to 88 inches. Add 24 inches of walking room to that figure before you compare it against your room.

Check the mattress limits before you fall in love

Every murphy bed caps mattress thickness, and most cap weight too, because the mattress folds into the cabinet with the bed. Buying the mattress first is the most common expensive mistake in this category.

Treat a blank cell as a question to ask

Where our tables show a dash, the manufacturer does not publish that figure. It is not a detail we skipped. Those blanks are the questions worth putting to a salesperson, and how readily they answer tells you something too.

Who makes them

6 makers are represented here: Bestar, BredaBeds, Expand Furniture, Murphy Door, Wilding Wallbeds and Murphy Bed Depot. Each brand page lists everything we track from that maker and how much of its own specification it actually publishes.

Frequently asked questions

Is a full murphy bed big enough for two adults?

For occasional guest use, yes. A full mattress is 54 inches wide, about 27 inches per person. For a bed used nightly by two people, queen is the more comfortable call.
