Murphy Wall Beds

A Murphy wall bed is mounted to the wall and folds up into it when you are not using it, turning a bedroom back into a living room, home office, or guest room in seconds. Every bed in this collection is a wall-mounted Murphy bed, available in vertical and horizontal models in queen, full, and twin sizes, with configurations that add a desk, shelving, or storage so the wall works for you during the day, not just at night.

What Is a Murphy Wall Bed?

A Murphy bed, also called a wall bed, is a full bed frame built into a tall wall unit that anchors to the wall. The bed pivots down to open and lifts back up to close, and a counterbalance mechanism makes it easy to raise and lower. When closed, the bed stands upright against the wall and looks like a wardrobe, bookcase, or built-in wall unit. For a closer look at how the terms compare, see our guide to the differences between a wall bed and a Murphy bed.

Vertical vs. Horizontal Murphy Beds

A vertical Murphy bed folds up lengthwise, with the head of the bed at the top of the wall unit. It needs more ceiling height but takes up less wall width, which makes it the standard choice for queen size wall beds. A horizontal Murphy bed folds up sideways, so the wall unit is wider but much shorter, fitting under low ceilings, sloped walls, or windows. Horizontal models are especially popular in twin and full sizes for kids' rooms and small guest rooms.

Murphy Beds with a Desk, Shelves, or Storage

Many of our wall beds are designed for rooms that need to do two jobs. A Murphy bed with a desk gives you a work surface that stays level when the bed opens, so a home office can become a guest room without clearing off your laptop. Models with side shelving, bookcase units, or storage towers add space for books, linens, and décor, making the wall bed look like permanent built-in furniture when it is closed.

Queen, Full, and Twin Murphy Beds

A queen Murphy bed is the most popular choice and comfortably sleeps two adults, making it ideal for guest rooms and studio apartments. A full size Murphy bed fits slightly smaller rooms while still sleeping two, and a twin Murphy bed is a compact option for kids' rooms, home offices, and single guests. When choosing a size, measure your ceiling height, wall width, and the floor space the bed needs when fully opened.

Murphy Bed Installation and Safety

Murphy wall beds are designed to be anchored securely to the wall, which keeps the unit stable when the bed is lowered and raised. Each model includes installation instructions and mounting hardware, and the counterbalance mechanism is engineered for smooth, controlled operation. Check the product page for each model's installation requirements, including wall type and ceiling height.
