A Murphy Bed Turns Any Room into Space-Saving Comfort

Murphy beds not only create space-saving comfort in any room but they are very popular where floor space is limited, such as in small homes, apartments, hotels, and even college dormitories.  In recent years the design options on Murphy beds have come a long way and offer custom features like lighting, storage, cabinets, and even office desk components. Murphy beds are versatile and can bring many benefits to the home. Here are a few reasons why the Murphy bed makes a great addition to any space. 
 
Murphy Cabinet Beds Are The Best
Cabinet Murphy beds are designed to add a touch of beauty and functionality to any room. As a more discreet object, these beds fold up into a classic looking wood cabinet that can be the centerpiece of any convertible bedroom. 
The story behind the invention of this type of bed is a pretty interesting one. The bed is named for William Lawrence Murphy (1876–1957), who applied for his first patents around 1900. According to legend, he was wooing an opera singer, but living in a one-room apartment in San Francisco, and the moral code of the time frowned upon a woman entering a man's bedroom. Murphy's invention converted his bedroom into a parlor, enabling him to entertain.

More Floor Space
The Murphy bed helps create extra floor space and opens up the room when installed in place of a traditional bed. Since Murphy beds fold away when they’re not needed, they don’t take up any space on the floor, making the space available for other uses. Whether you live in a small studio apartment and your bedroom doubles as your living room or you have young kids who enjoy extra floor space for playing, a Murphy bed is great a great option.

Easy Operation
Another great thing about Murphy beds is that they’re easy to operate. The counterbalanced design allows for easy folding of the bed that can usually be done with just one hand. Unlike futons, sofa beds, and other alternatives, Murphy beds are operated using a simple and safe maneuver and can be folded up and down with ease. You can also store them with the sheets and bedding on the mattress, allowing for even more convenience and quick access.

Multipurpose Rooms
Creating a multipurpose room in your home is another wonderful benefit of having a Murphy bed. This is especially true of smaller homes where space is limited. Some common combinations include the home office and guest room arrangement. Many Murphy beds can include a built-in desk on one end with the folding bed on the other. That way you can have a home office for your day-to-day use while also having a comfortable guest room when friends or relatives come to visit. Another versatile setup is the child’s bedroom and playroom combo. If you don’t have an extra room to devote entirely to your children’s toys and play time, adding a Murphy bed to their bedroom can double it as a playroom.
