Twin Murphy Beds

A twin murphy bed is a twin size bed that folds up into a wall-mounted cabinet when not in use, freeing the floor in a guest room, kid's room or studio. These twin murphy beds fold vertically or horizontally, and many add cabinets, LED lighting, USB charging, drawers, a desk or a full wardrobe.

Twin murphy bed cabinet styles

Most models fold the bed upright into a cabinet with storage across the top for pillows and spare sheets. The white and espresso beds add LED lighting and USB-C and USB-A ports at the bedside, the white charging bed has two cabinets and a drawer above the mattress, and the gray cabinet bed pairs the bed with a wardrobe, hanging rod and a column of LED-lit shelves.

Horizontal twin murphy bed options

A horizontal bed folds sideways, so the closed cabinet stays low and leaves the wall above free for art or a window. The white horizontal bed closes to 47.28 inches high and 15.75 inches deep with built-in shelves and a 1000 lb rating. The brown bed is the most compact at 45.3 inches wide with lift-up cabinet storage.

Twin XL murphy bed with desk

The twin XL bed doubles as a desk by day, with LED light in three colors and USB-C and USB-A charging on the side panel. It stores the bed and mattress together, so nothing has to be stripped off before folding.

Twin murphy bed dimensions and mattresses

Closed, the cabinets run about 15.7 to 20.6 inches deep. Vertical beds stand up to 90.4 inches tall, so check ceiling height and leave about 80 inches of floor in front for the open bed. Each model lists its mattress range, 6 to 8 or 8 to 10 inches thick, and weight ratings run 400 to 1000 lb. Select listings note that no box spring is needed.

Every bed must be anchored to wall studs or concrete, and most ship in several boxes with assembly required. Construction: MDF, plywood or solid pine with MDF panels, with wood slats on select models. Wipe finishes with a damp cloth.

Frequently asked questions

What is a twin murphy bed?
A twin murphy bed is a twin size bed on a hinged frame that folds up or sideways into a wall-mounted cabinet, so the floor is free during the day. Twin murphy beds here come in vertical and horizontal styles, many with storage, LED lighting and USB charging.
Are murphy beds comfortable?
Murphy beds are as comfortable as a regular bed when fitted with a good mattress, because you sleep on a standard mattress over a supportive frame or slats. Check the mattress thickness each model allows: twin murphy beds here take 6 to 8 or 8 to 10 inch mattresses.
How does a murphy bed work?
A murphy bed works by mounting the bed frame on a hinge inside a wall-anchored cabinet, with pistons or springs that counterbalance the weight so the bed lifts and lowers easily. Straps hold the mattress in place, and legs fold down to support the open bed.
Do murphy beds need special mattresses?
Murphy beds do not need special mattresses, but the mattress must fit the bed's stated thickness and weight limit so the bed closes properly. Foam and hybrid mattresses that stay flat work best. Select twin murphy beds here note that no box spring is needed.
Are murphy beds safe?
Murphy beds are safe when installed correctly and anchored to wall studs or concrete, with the cabinet secured before the bed is used. Follow the weight rating and mattress limits, and keep children from swinging on the frame. Twin murphy beds here are rated for 400 to 1000 lb.
How do you install a murphy bed?
Install a murphy bed by assembling the cabinet, locating wall studs or concrete, and anchoring the cabinet with the supplied hardware before mounting the bed frame and mechanism. Have two people lift heavy panels, then test the bed several times before adding the mattress.
