Murphy Cabinet Beds and Chests
Murphy Cabinet Beds and Chest Beds
A Murphy bed cabinet gives you a real bed without giving up floor space. Each cabinet Murphy bed folds a mattress into a freestanding cabinet or chest that works as a sideboard, TV stand, or dresser during the day and opens into a bed in seconds. Futonland carries Murphy cabinet beds in queen, full, and twin sizes (on select models), each with a folding mattress included, making them a practical choice for guest rooms, home offices, and small apartments.
What Is a Murphy Cabinet Bed?
A Murphy cabinet bed is a freestanding version of the classic Murphy bed. Instead of folding up into a wall, the bed folds down into a low cabinet, so there is no wall mounting and no installation. You can place it anywhere in the room and move it later. Chest bed and dresser-style designs look like a standard bedroom chest or dresser when closed, so the bed stays hidden until you need it.
How Does a Cabinet Bed Work?
The mattress and bed platform are stored inside the cabinet. To open it, lift the top and fold the front panel out, then unfold the tri-fold mattress across the platform. Most models open easily with one person. When guests leave, the mattress folds back inside and the cabinet closes, with room in many models for sheets and pillows. Some models also include USB charging ports or built-in tray tables.
What Sizes Do Murphy Cabinet Beds Come In?
Queen Murphy bed cabinets are the most popular size and comfortably sleep two adults. A full size Murphy bed cabinet fits tighter rooms while still sleeping two, and a twin Murphy bed cabinet is a compact option for a single guest, a child's room, or a small home office. Check the closed and open dimensions on each product page to make sure the bed fits your space when fully opened.
Do Murphy Cabinet Beds Come with a Mattress?
Yes. Every cabinet bed we carry includes a tri-fold mattress, typically 6 inches thick, with memory foam on some models. The mattress is sized to fold neatly inside the cabinet, so there is nothing extra to buy before your first guest arrives. For exact mattress materials and dimensions, see the individual product listings.
Are Cabinet Beds Comfortable for Guests?
Cabinet beds are a comfortable way to host overnight guests without keeping a spare bed set up year-round. The foam mattress lies on a flat platform instead of the bars and springs of a traditional pull-out sofa, so guests sleep on an even surface. That makes a Murphy cabinet bed a good fit for a home office, den, or living room that needs to become a guest room a few nights at a time.
