Murphy Bed Compare

All murphy beds / Murphy Door

Murphy Door Murphy Bed with Left and Right Cabinets

Cabinets both sides. The width figures in the table are the bed alone and exclude the side cabinets. 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

  • The room is genuinely small and a smaller mattress is enough for how often the bed gets used.
  • You are not willing to trade down in bed size to buy back floor space.
  • 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.

Look elsewhere if

  • 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.
  • 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 10 of them for the Murphy Bed with Left and Right Cabinets. 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.

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 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.
