Description

Murphy Door® is America's leading builder of hidden doors, hidden bookcase doors, secret doors, hidden rooms, safe rooms, and panic rooms, handcrafted in the United States since 2012. We have spent 14 years perfecting the art of hiding things beautifully. Hidden rooms. Secret doors. And now, the most beautifully hidden bed you have ever owned. If we can hide a room, we can hide a bed. The same craftsmen. The same standard. The same lifetime warranty.

"Every competitor in the wall bed industry sources their hardware overseas. We looked at that option and said no. Our lift mechanism, our bed hardware, our components are designed by us, patented by us, and machined right here in Utah by our own team at Murphy Door Machining. Nobody else in this industry can say that. When you pull this bed down for the first time, you will feel the difference immediately." Jeremy G. Barker, Founder, Murphy Door®

The Murphy Door® Simple Murphy Bed is a wall bed, a hideaway bed, a fold-down bed, and a hidden bed built the way furniture used to be built: solid hardwood face frames over our proprietary Vaultwood Core™, assembled by skilled craftsmen in our Utah and Kentucky shops, and lifted by a patented gas-piston mechanism machined in-house by Murphy Door Machining (MD Machine). A perfected blend of solid hardwood and Vaultwood Core™ giving you a lifetime of flawless use. Choose your face surface: Real Wood Veneer (Walnut, White Oak, Maple, Knotty Alder, Red Oak) or Paint Grade over a smooth, paintable Vaultwood Core™ face. This is not a flat-pack import assembled overseas and shipped in a box. This is an American wall bed built to outlast the house it goes into.

Your guests will not know they slept in a wall bed. They will just know they slept well. The Murphy Door® Murphy Bed uses a real wooden bed box, not a metal frame. It accepts any standard US Twin, Queen, or King mattress up to 11 inches thick. No box spring required. The patented gas-piston pull-down mechanism is whisper-quiet and counterbalanced to your exact mattress weight, rated to 600 lbs. One hand brings it down. One hand sends it back up. It will operate this smoothly for the rest of your life. This is not a gimmick. This is a real bed that happens to disappear into your wall.

We are going to be honest with you about something every other wall bed company hides: assembly is hard. This hideaway bed is heavy. It takes two people and a full day to put together. We will not pretend otherwise. Here is why we are proud of that: the weight you feel lifting these panels is solid hardwood and American steel. Particle board is light. Cheap metal frames are light. Real wood and real hardware are not. Every panel arrives pre-cut, pre-drilled, and labeled. The instructions are detailed and clear. Thousands of homeowners have assembled this bed. Every single one of them said the same thing when they were done: it was worth every minute. If you want a space-saving bed that assembles in two hours and wobbles in two years, there are plenty of those on the market. This is not that bed. This is the last wall bed you will ever buy.

Buying a Murphy bed, wall bed, or hideaway bed is a big decision. We want to help you get it right. Call 1-888-458-5911 or email help@murphydoor.com before you buy. Our team configures fold-down beds and wall beds for studios, guest rooms, home offices, and bonus rooms every single day. Tell us your room dimensions, your ceiling height, and your existing finishes. We will tell you exactly what to order. We are here before, during, and after your purchase. No other wall bed company offers this level of pre-purchase support. We do it because we want your bed to be perfect.

Over 200,000 products shipped from our Utah and Kentucky facilities since 2012. Every Murphy bed, wall bed, and hideaway bed we build is backed by the industry's most comprehensive warranty: Lifetime coverage on all patented bed hardware, the gas-piston lift mechanism, structural steel, Vaultwood Core™ panels, solid hardwood, finishes, wood veneer, and labor. One year on electronic accessories. If your wall bed arrives with shipping damage, even if already signed for, we make it right. Replacement parts ship within 5-7 business days. This warranty is not a footnote. It is our promise. See full terms at murphydoor.com/pages/warranty-policy.

Curbside Delivery
  • Residential deliveries are curbside only, which means that the palletized product is delivered to the curb outside of your home or at the end of the driveway.
  • Palletized product is delivered by a single driver on a full-size freight truck with a hydraulic liftgate.
  • Someone must be present to accept the shipment
  • The driver will not be able to move the palletized product into the garage or the home.

For insurance reasons, freight companies will not allow drivers to back into any driveways, dirt roads or other out-of-the-ordinary lanes, paved or unpaved. If the delivery point is too far from the installation or storage area, you must make arrangements to meet the driver and transfer the material to another vehicle. Freight drivers will only transfer product from the trailer to the person accepting the shipment.

NOTE: Neither the freight carrier nor Murphy Door will be responsible for any missing or damaged material after the shipment is off-loaded from the freight carrier and the delivery receipt signed.

FAQ

What is a Murphy bed, and is it the same as a wall bed?

Yes — Murphy bed and wall bed are two names for the same thing: a bed that folds up vertically (or horizontally) into a cabinet when not in use, freeing the floor space for living. The name "Murphy bed" comes from William L. Murphy, who patented the design in the early 1900s, while "wall bed" is simply the modern descriptive term. Murphy Door elevates this concept by integrating our signature hidden-door craftsmanship, so your wall bed can disappear behind a full bookcase or panel door. Explore the possibilities in our Murphy bed collection or design your own in the Design Studio.

Are Murphy beds comfortable to sleep on?

Yes — wall-mounted Murphy beds from Murphy Door® are as comfortable as a standard bed frame. The mechanism does not compress the mattress; it stores flat against the wall. Comfort depends on mattress quality, not the Murphy bed system. With a premium 10–12\" memory foam or hybrid mattress, you will not be able to tell the difference from a conventional bed. The bed systems are rated to support full sleeping loads nightly.

What type of mattress works best with a Murphy bed?

A high-density foam or latex mattress between 10 and 12 inches thick is the ideal choice for a Murphy bed — these materials don't shift inside the cabinet, hold their shape beautifully, and fold easily without bottoming out the pistons. Memory foam is equally well suited; traditional innerspring or pocketed-coil mattresses can work but must be secured with the included retention straps to prevent sliding. Mattresses thicker than 12 inches may interfere with cabinet closure, so always confirm thickness compatibility with your specific model. See configuration details in the Murphy bed collection or ask our team via Design Studio.

Can I install a Murphy bed myself, or do I need a professional?

Murphy Door wall beds ship as complete pre-assembled panels with hardware pre-installed, designed for confident DIY installation in a weekend — no special tools beyond a drill and level are required. Each unit ships with detailed step-by-step instructions, and our installation guides cover every configuration. For large custom multi-cabinet builds or integrated hidden-door systems, we recommend engaging a local carpenter or installer for the final wall anchoring and finish work. Our support team is available to walk you through any step of the process.

What mattress works best in a Murphy bed?

Memory foam and gel foam mattresses are the best choice for Murphy beds — they are flexible enough to fold up smoothly without the spring-tension issues associated with innerspring coils. Murphy Door® recommends a mattress between 10 and 12 inches thick for optimal sleeping comfort and proper door closure. Brands like Casper, Nectar, Saatva, and Purple all have models that work well in horizontal Murphy bed configurations.

What sizes do Murphy beds come in?

Murphy Door wall beds are available in twin, full, queen, and king sizes, in both vertical (portrait) and horizontal (landscape) orientations — horizontal models are ideal for rooms with low ceilings or when you want a wider cabinet footprint. Queen vertical is the most popular configuration for guest rooms and studios; king horizontal suits primary bedrooms where ceiling height is limited. Custom dimensions are available for non-standard spaces. Explore every size and orientation in the Murphy bed collection or design your perfect fit in the Design Studio.

Does Murphy Door sell Murphy beds?

Yes, Murphy Door sells Murphy beds as well as other hidden furniture solutions.

What warranty does Murphy Door offer?

Murphy Doors carry a Lifetime Warranty on Hardware, Wood, and Workmanship, covering hinges, hardware, structural steel reinforcement, MDF cores, and labor for the lifetime of the original purchaser. Factory finishes (paint, stain, lacquer), mechanical locks, veneer, and plywood face are covered for five years. Electronic locking systems are covered for one year.
