Who this suits
Worth a look if
- You already own a thick mattress and intend to keep it. This one takes up to 13 inches.
- The room is genuinely small and a smaller mattress is enough for how often the bed gets used.
- Your ceiling is low or the wall is wide and short, which is exactly where a horizontal bed wins.
- You want it to turn up as furniture rather than as a woodworking project.
Look elsewhere if
- You expected a mattress in the price. Budget for one on top of the figures in the table.
- You need a king. This model is not offered in one.
- You need to settle room fit on paper before committing. The maker does not publish how far this one reaches into the room, so measuring means seeing one.
What BredaBeds publishes, and what it does not
We track 14 figures on a finished bed before calling a record complete. BredaBeds publishes 9 of them for the Horizontal Metropolitan Murphy Bed. The 5 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: open depth. Which means the open depth is missing, which is the single number that decides whether the bed fits the room.
- Not published: assembly time. Which means assembly time is unstated, and on a wall-mounted bed that is the difference between an afternoon and a weekend.
- Not published: cabinet width. Which means the cabinet width is missing, so you cannot check it against your wall.
- Not published: cabinet height. Which means no height is given, and a vertical bed needs more headroom than the cabinet alone because it swings up through an arc.
Also absent from the manufacturer's documentation for this model: closed depth.
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
Ordering before anyone has measured the open bed
The maker does not publish how far this one reaches into the room, and that is the number room fit turns on. Ask the dealer for the open depth in writing before you order, not after.
Trusting the carton dimensions
Where assembled dimensions are not published, the figures that circulate are usually shipping carton sizes lifted from a spec sheet. A carton is not a cabinet, and the two differ by inches in both directions.
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 13 inches. A mattress bought before the bed is the most common expensive mistake in this category.
Closest alternative on price
