This particular design is a bed frame attached to a portion of your interior wall where there is a large hole or cut out area. It pulls out of the wall for use and snaps up out of sight when not in use. You may be able to find a Murphy Bed Hardware kit available to custom create your own particular design. The whole frame section around the wall area is generally constructed from wood, while the bed portion can use metal in its design.

This unique style of bed can be incorporated into many types of room decor including some office rooms. because this bed is easily folded out of the way, it works well for spaces that are limited in size. This could be a good choice for people who own their own business and put in long hours at the office. The exterior side of your bed frame can be created to simulate the look of a door or cabinet unit so no one would be able to tell it wasn’t part of your room’s existing cabinetry.

This bed type was made popular in the early 30′s when people had very limited funds and space was a precious commodity often shared by many families in one home. This makes the bed a useful item to install in a studio apartment. The studio design is one that usually combines the kitchen and living room into one big room. With this type of bed your tenants will have more space during the day to do other activities.

This uniquely styled bed will use the same mattresses you would use with a traditional bed. If your Murphy frame is one that is double you would use a double mattress with it. This also applies to the bedding you select for the mattress. Any standard bedding for a double sized mattress would work for this bed also. If you have a home, apartment or room with limited space for sleeping, this hide away bed could be just the item you’ve been looking for.
