Murphy Beds, Cabinet and Wall Beds
Cabinet Beds with Folding Mattresses and Wall Beds
Murphy beds and cabinet beds are the perfect solution for people who live in small homes. They provide ample storage space while maximizing the living area, allowing homeowners to have a functional bedroom without sacrificing valuable square footage. Cabinet beds can accommodate up to a queen-sized mattress, with most murphy bed wall units accommodating a 6" thick mattress.
Chest beds and wall beds are a wonderful space-saving solution for many homeowners. These types of beds allow you to use the room inside the cabinet as a storage area, which is extremely useful in small homes or dorm rooms where every inch counts. Murphy cabinet beds and wall beds can be found at furniture stores around the country, but if you're looking for something specific we have some tips on finding them online.
What is a cabinet bed?
A cabinet bed is a modern version of the traditional Murphy bed, also known as a wall bed. Unlike a traditional Murphy bed, a cabinet bed is designed to seamlessly blend in with the other furniture in the room. It offers a convenient and practical solution for adding an additional sleeping space to any room in your house without the need for a dedicated guest bedroom. Cabinet beds can be placed in various locations such as the home office, family room, living room, or even a workout room. The clever disguise of the cabinet design ensures that guests won't even realize it's a bed until you show them. This versatility is what sets cabinet beds apart from traditional Murphy beds.
How does a cabinet bed work?
Cabinet beds are designed to be self-contained, meaning that the mattress, pillows, sheets, and comforter are neatly stored inside the unit. When you need to use the bed, simply pull it out, and everything you need is readily available without the hassle of searching for sheets or pillows. Our selection of cabinet beds includes various brands and styles such as Arason, Night and Day, and Atlantic Furniture. While there may be some differences among them, most cabinet beds offer storage drawers underneath for pillows and sheets, with the larger portion of the cabinet housing a twin, full, or queen-size tri-fold mattress.
Can you use a cabinet bed for everyday sleep?
Absolutely! If you live in a compact urban setting or have limited space, a cabinet bed can serve as your everyday bed. Cabinet beds are especially suitable for small apartments, studios, or dorm rooms where floor space is at a premium. When not in use, the bed can be easily tucked away against the wall, freeing up the area and providing additional storage inside the cabinet.
Are cabinet beds comfortable?
Cabinet beds offer a comfortable sleeping experience while maximizing space-saving benefits. They are designed to be easy to open and close, often featuring mechanisms that can be operated with a single hand and require minimal effort. When unfolded, the included folding memory foam mattress provides a cozy and supportive sleeping surface. The mattresses are typically of good quality and designed to promote a restful night's sleep while being eco-friendly.
What type of mattress do cabinet beds come with?
Most cabinet beds come with a 6-inch tri-fold queen mattress that can be conveniently folded and stored inside the cabinet when not in use. Due to the storage space constraints, thicker mattresses may not fit properly. The specific type of mattress included can vary depending on the manufacturer, but a common choice is a plain memory foam or a gel memory foam mattress. These mattresses offer comfort, support, and durability for everyday sleep.
