Murphy Beds are beds that fold up against a wall or in a cabinet when not in use. It is a great idea for a small room like an office or a bedroom that you want multiple uses out off.
They are usually fixed to the wall so make sure you have enough wall height before ordering the bed. There are beds that fold horizontally which require much less wall height. Some beds come with springs or pistons to make the lifting easier. The beds come in single, double, queen, and king sizes.
Some beds come with desks and cabinets that fold down when you fold the bed up. You can also hide the bed behind sliding doors or sliding cabinets.
To keep the bed from weighing too much, select a memory foam mattress. This type of mattress does not bunch up when stored vertically.
