So Many Types of Versatile Wall Beds – Which Will You Choose?
Versatile wall beds are a great addition to any home, but especially those with a limited amount of space. For many of us, that means a single spare room that must function as a guestroom, home office, craft center and more. Some of us have even less room and we must turn every inch of space into a multi-use area. In either case, versatile wall beds can be a huge boon to our productivity, organization and storage needs. Here are a few different types of Murphy wall beds, one of which is certain to be a perfect fit in your home.
Cabinet Beds
When space is at a premium, cabinet beds are a natural choice. They have a much smaller footprint than a regular Murphy wall bed, so they are the ideal addition to anywhere you have just a few square feet of space but want to add a bed and storage. Our cabinet beds in the closed position require about 10 square feet of floor space, so they easily slip into corners, the end of a hallway or even a large closet. In addition to hiding a comfy, premium tri-fold mattress of queen size, the cabinet also includes a roomy storage drawer along the bottom.

Desk Wall Beds
Here is a brilliant way to combine a home office with a guestroom: add a desk wall bed. The front of the solid hardwood cabinet comes complete with a flip-up desk/table surface that folds down, when necessary. When in use, the desk is easily flipped up to extend the legs and provide a sturdy work surface. Some of our desk wall beds allow you to keep any equipment and paperwork that you have on the surface in place when the mattress is pulled down for sleeping. Desk wall beds are available in either horizontal or vertical configurations.
Library Wall Beds
Here are some additional versatile wall beds that help keep your home office or recreational room better organized: library Murphy beds. These beds are hidden within a handsome cabinet fronted by a set of bookshelves. To access the bed, simple slide the two halves of the bookshelves apart. The shelves can be used for storing books or displaying collectibles and photos. You can even add lighting that enhances the contents of the bookshelves. For someone with a large collection of books or other items, a library wall bed offers a unique way to store and display them while hiding a mattress in full, queen or king size. You can either use your own mattress, or purchase your library wall bed with a premium mattress included.
Versatile Wall Beds with Side Piers
If none of these options sounds like the right one for your home, you may want to opt for a wall bed with a set of side piers that can be customized to your needs. The side piers are located on either side of the Murphy bed in its cabinet, crafted from matching millwork. You decide if you’d like the piers to house bookshelves, display cabinets, wardrobes, pullout drawers or just about anything else you can dream up.
Whatever purpose you have for including versatile wall beds in your home, we can make it happen.
