If you literally have no room for your bedroom and need extra sleeping space for guests, there is a brilliant solution you will love – a Murphy bed! This is a very comfortable bed that doesn’t take up space when not in use – you can create a bunk room or your own bunk room for guests anywhere without needing additional rooms!
What is a wall bed?
A Murphy bed is a piece that folds down to fit in a wall of built-in closets and completely disappears when not in use. They are ideal for mixed-use spaces such as an office/bedroom, gym/guest room, theater/guest room, etc. – and are excellent for sleeping areas with occasional use. Such beds are well suited for small houses, where living and sleeping areas are connected, and will add flavor to your home, which will increase comfort.
advantages
Unlike futons and sleeper sofas, Murphy beds don’t use collapsible mattresses, so you can avoid those pesky bars and painful lumps. In fact, you can use your own mattress. Also, you don’t have to pull the sheets on and off every time you use or put the bed down. Most Murphy beds have a Velcro system that keeps the bedding (and mattress) in place when closed. And if you don’t like vertical Murphy beds, you can get a side-sloping configuration that opens horizontally.
tips
When designing for Murphy beds, make sure there is enough space around the murphy bed. Keep the other furniture light and mobile in the room for easy access to the Murphy bed.
Hardware is a key component of a Murphy bed. If it’s clunky and heavy, and the hinges are slightly misaligned, raising and lowering the bed can be dangerous. So choose the right hardware. You must also provide indoor lighting at the headboard of the bed for you or your guests to read.
