What is a vertical Murphy bed?

A vertical Murphy bed folds up against the wall in portrait orientation, with the bed standing upright when stored like a tall cabinet. This makes it ideal for rooms with higher ceilings and limited floor space. Murphy Door's vertical Murphy beds are built in the USA and available in twin, full, queen, and king sizes.

How much wall space does a vertical Murphy bed need?

A vertical twin Murphy bed typically requires about 42–45 inches of wall width, a queen needs 65–68 inches, and a king needs approximately 80 inches. Ceiling height should be at least 85 inches to accommodate the folded bed. Murphy Door offers exact dimensions for each model in the product specifications.

What sizes do vertical Murphy beds come in?

Murphy Door offers vertical Murphy beds in twin, full, queen, and king sizes, fitting standard mattresses up to 11 inches thick. All sizes fold flat against the wall for a clean, furniture-like appearance when not in use.

Are vertical Murphy beds safe?

Yes. Murphy Door's vertical Murphy beds use a spring or piston mechanism that controls descent, preventing the bed from dropping too quickly. Each unit is assembled in the USA to strict quality standards. When properly installed, the bed locks securely in the closed position.

How does a vertical Murphy bed work?

A vertical Murphy bed pivots at the bottom on a spring or piston mechanism. When you pull down on the handle, the bed rotates out and down until it rests flat as a sleeping surface. To store, lift the foot of the bed upward until the mechanism catches and the bed locks flush against the wall.
