Every Murphy Bed with Couch, Compared on Specs
A murphy bed with couch gives a room two full-time jobs. The bed folds down over the sofa, usually without moving cushions. The number to watch is combined depth: sofa depth plus open bed depth decides whether the room still walks. The table compares every sofa model we track.

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 40.3 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 9.2 feet from the mounting wall to whatever is opposite it, walking room included. Across the group the makers publish 150 of the 224 figures we look for, which is worth knowing before you assume a spec sheet will answer your question.
What stands out, and why
- BredaBeds Horizontal InLine Murphy Bed at $1,808. The cheapest published price in this group. Confirm it against the current listing, because this category discounts almost permanently.
- BredaBeds Horizontal InLine Murphy Bed at 13" mattress. Takes the deepest mattress here, which matters if you intend to keep the one you already own.
- Expand Furniture MurphySofa Clean - Sectional Queen Wall Bed at 100% 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 murphy bed with couch
Measure from the front of the sofa
On a sofa combination the room depth you need starts at the front edge of the sofa, not the cabinet face. That is commonly another two to three feet, and it is the single most common reason a sofa wall bed does not fit a room the buyer measured.
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
4 makers are represented here: Lori Beds, Expand Furniture, BredaBeds and Resource Furniture. Each brand page lists everything we track from that maker and how much of its own specification it actually publishes.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have to move the sofa cushions to open the bed?
On most purpose-built sofa murphy beds, no. The bed platform clears the seat back and lands above the seat. A few models require removing back cushions. The notes column flags them.
