Who this suits
Worth a look if
- You want it to turn up as furniture rather than as a woodworking project.
- You have a wall you can drill into and want the cabinet held flat and solid against it.
- You want the lift to feel light and even, and you would rather not re-tension anything.
- You already own a thick mattress and intend to keep it. This one takes up to 12 inches.
Look elsewhere if
- You want a choice of sizes. This model is offered in queen only.
- You cannot make holes in the wall. This one is designed to be anchored to it.
- You expected a mattress in the price. Budget for one on top of the figures in the table.
What Bestar publishes, and what it does not
We track 14 figures on a finished bed before calling a record complete. Bestar publishes 10 of them for the Key West 69W Queen Murphy Bed. The 4 it leaves out are worth knowing before you buy, because each one is a decision you will end up making without the maker's help.
- Not published: assembly time. Which means the maker offers no estimate of how long this takes to put together, which is worth asking if you are paying somebody by the hour.
- Not published: panel materials. Which means no material is named, so you cannot tell whether the cabinet is plywood, MDF or particleboard behind the finish.
- Not published: country of manufacture. Which means the maker does not say where this is built, which some buyers weigh and all buyers should be able to check.
- Not published: closed depth. Which means the closed depth is absent, which is the figure that decides whether a door still opens past it.
We leave these blank rather than estimating them. A — in our tables is always a gap in the manufacturer's own documentation, never a number we chose not to look up.
What people get wrong with this one
Forgetting the bed has to tilt through the ceiling
A vertical bed swings up through an arc, so it needs slightly more headroom than the closed cabinet height suggests. Sloped ceilings and low light fittings are the usual casualties.
Buying the mattress first
Murphy beds cap mattress thickness because the mattress has to fold into the cabinet with the bed. This one stops at 12 inches. A mattress bought before the bed is the most common expensive mistake in this category.
Ignoring the mattress weight window
The lift is balanced against a mattress weight range, and this one is rated to 90 lbs. Too light and the bed drifts open on its own, too heavy and it takes real effort to close.
Closest alternative on price
