Murphy Door Horizontal Murphy Bed Twin
The maker publishes no dimension table on this page, only the shared 11 inch mattress limit. Patented gas-piston pull-down mechanism machined in house, counterbalanced to the mattress weight and rated to 600 lbs. Takes a standard mattress up to 11 inches with no box spring, and the mattress is not included. The maker gives the open depth only as an approximation in prose rather than a specification, so we leave it blank rather than record a rounded marketing figure. The published price is a single starting figure with size selected as an option, and it is recorded here against the smallest size offered.

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.
- The room is genuinely small and a smaller mattress is enough for how often the bed gets used.
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 Murphy Door publishes, and what it does not
We track 14 figures on a finished bed before calling a record complete. Murphy Door publishes 7 of them for the Horizontal Murphy Bed Twin. The 7 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: 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.
- Not published: closed depth. Which means the closed depth is absent, which is the figure that decides whether a door still opens past it.
- Not published: open depth. Which means nobody publishes how far this reaches into the room when it is down, so it cannot be checked against your floor plan by us or anyone else.
Also absent from the manufacturer's documentation for this model: the mattress weight window, assembly time, country of manufacture.
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
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 11 inches. A mattress bought before the bed is the most common expensive mistake in this category.
Anchoring into drywall alone
A wall mounted bed transfers real load into the wall. Studs or solid blocking are not optional, and finding them before delivery day saves an unhappy afternoon.
Treating a sale price as the price
This category runs near permanent promotions, and the figure in our table is what the manufacturer showed on the date we checked. Confirm the current price before you budget around it.
