Specs read from manufacturer pages. Each bed's page lists its source and check date. “—” means not yet sourced, never guessed. Any “lowest price” or “least floor space” label is arithmetic on the column above, not a paid placement.

What the numbers say
That 33.3 inch spread between the shallowest and the deepest is the difference between fitting a room and not, and it is the number most buyers never think to compare. In practical terms the deepest model here wants a room about 10.1 feet from the mounting wall to whatever is opposite it, walking room included. 15 of these 49 carry no published price at all, usually because the maker sells through dealers rather than direct. Across the group the makers publish 463 of the 686 figures we look for, which is worth knowing before you assume a spec sheet will answer your question.
What stands out, and why
- BredaBeds Horizontal Urban Murphy Bed at 13" mattress. Takes the deepest mattress here, which matters if you intend to keep the one you already own.
- Expand Furniture MurphySofa Clean - Sectional Queen Wall Bed at 100% documented. The maker publishes more of its numbers than anyone else in this group, so it is the one you can actually compare on paper.
- Resource Furniture Circe at 63.5" from the wall. Takes the least floor space of anything here when it is open, which is the constraint that rules most rooms out.
These are picked by sorting the table above, not by any commercial arrangement. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
How to choose a queen murphy bed
Start with floor depth, not wall width
Wall width is the easy measurement and almost never the problem. The number that decides it is how far the bed reaches into the room when it is down, which across this group runs from 63.5 to 96.85 inches. Add 24 inches of walking room to that figure before you compare it against your room.
Check the mattress limits before you fall in love
Every murphy bed caps mattress thickness, and most cap weight too, because the mattress folds into the cabinet with the bed. Buying the mattress first is the most common expensive mistake in this category.
Treat a blank cell as a question to ask
Where our tables show a dash, the manufacturer does not publish that figure. It is not a detail we skipped. Those blanks are the questions worth putting to a salesperson, and how readily they answer tells you something too.
Who makes them
9 makers are represented here: Lori Beds, Expand Furniture, Bestar, BredaBeds, Night & Day Furniture, Wilding Wallbeds, Resource Furniture, Murphy Door and Murphy Bed Depot. Each brand page lists everything we track from that maker and how much of its own specification it actually publishes.
Frequently asked questions
How much room does a queen murphy bed need?
Plan for the open depth of the specific model plus at least 24 inches of walking clearance. Most queen vertical models project 85 to 90 inches from the wall when open, so a room about 9.5 feet deep works comfortably.
Can I use my existing queen mattress?
Usually, if it is within the thickness and weight limits of the mechanism. Most models cap mattress thickness at 10 to 12 inches. Check the max mattress row in the table for the model you are considering.
