Murphy Beds with a Built-In Desk
A desk bed earns its keep twice a day, which makes the details matter. The good designs keep the desk surface level as the bed comes down, so you never clear your monitor. The table compares every desk model we track, and the notes flag which ones pivot versus fold.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have to clear the desk before opening the bed?
On most current designs, no. Pivot desk mechanisms keep the surface level while the bed lowers over it. A few budget models use a fold-away shelf instead, which does need clearing. The notes column flags which is which.
How deep are the desks on murphy desk beds?
Typically 16 to 24 inches. That is enough for a laptop and monitor on most models, but measure your setup against the desk depth spec before buying.
