All murphy beds / Resource Furniture
Resource Furniture Ella & Louis
Freestanding, so it needs no wall fixing, which is rare at this end of the market. Resource calls the bed a Queen Plus rather than a queen. It also converts to two twin XL beds, each 36.625 inches wide, at the same cabinet size. The open depth above is the bed rather than the cabinet. Resource publishes a starting price and quotes the rest, because finish, arm style and installation all move it. Treat the figure as a floor rather than a price. Professional installation is required and is charged separately.
Resource Furniture publishes a starting price but takes enquiries rather than orders, so this goes to its quote form rather than a checkout.

Who this suits
Worth a look if
- You want it to turn up as furniture rather than as a woodworking project.
- You rent, or you would rather not put structural bolts into the wall. This one stands on its own.
- The room has to work as a living room by day, and you do not want to shift furniture to open the bed.
- Your ceiling is low or the wall is wide and short, which is exactly where a horizontal bed wins.
Look elsewhere if
- You need a king. This model is not offered in one.
- Price is the binding constraint. This sits at the upper end of what we track.
- You care how the lift is engineered. This maker does not say what mechanism is inside.
What Resource Furniture publishes, and what it does not
We track 14 figures on a finished bed before calling a record complete. Resource Furniture publishes 6 of them for the Ella & Louis. The 8 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 no assembly time is given, so plan for most of a day and a second pair of hands.
- 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 country of manufacture is not stated.
- Not published: the warranty term. Which means the warranty is absent from the page, and the mechanism is the part worth having covered.
Also absent from the manufacturer's documentation for this model: the lift mechanism, maximum mattress thickness, the mattress weight window, whether a mattress is included.
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
Measuring the wall and forgetting the floor
The cabinet is the easy measurement. The one that catches people is how far the bed reaches into the room once it is down, which is 86.125 inches here. Add walking room on top of that before deciding it fits.
Expecting it to sleep like a standard bed
A freestanding cabinet bed uses a folding mattress and sits lower than a wall bed. It is excellent for occasional guests and a compromise for nightly use.
Measuring to the cabinet instead of past the sofa
With a sofa in front, the wall to obstruction measurement starts at the front of the sofa, not the cabinet face. That is often another two to three feet of room depth.
Closest alternative on price
The nearest model to this one on price is the Resource Furniture Kali Duo Sofa at $11,310 against $15,540, a difference of $4,230. They are not the same kind of product, so the table below is the honest comparison.
