Murphy beds, also referred to as stow away beds or hidden beds, you provide an elegant and practical solution to the need for a place for a good night’s sleep without consuming valued floorspace in a small apartment, loft, guest room, or even an office.
One of the most versatile forms of small apartment furniture, a Murphy bed can be positioned either vertically or horizontally according to one’s preference. A Murphy bed can consolidate enough space to convert a bedroom into a home office, or allow a den to do double duty as a guest room.
Murphy beds can be concealed behind an attractive façades such as a cabinet or a bookcase with decorative elements such as crown molding. In one design particularly suited for those with personal libraries and limited space, the bed, in its upright position, stands behind a bookshelf with a central section that projects beyond the sections to either side. In this design, the central section divides and parts to reveal the fold-down bed. While traditionally a Murphy bed lowers down to reveal either bare wall, framed picture, or inset lighting fixtures, today it is possible to conceal a flatscreen TV behind the bed.
A wide variety of Murphy bed wall systems are available, both ready-made and as do-it-yourself projects; some fold down onto a hassock, in others, the bed pulls out like a drawer. A search for “Murphy bed” on Youtube will yield a variety of videos demonstrating the range of inventive mechanisms in action.
The cost can be lowered by constructing the Murphy bed frame out of particleboard and using a wood veneer to create the appearance of solid wood. More expensive beds are constructed from solid wood, hand finished with a stain and coat of matte or glossy polyurethane.
While instructions on how to build a Murphy bed are available on the Internet, Murphy beds require patented mechanisms using pistons, or counterweights which allow the bed to open smoothly with a minimum of effort. The companies which manufacture the kits often provide instructions on planning and technical support.
The basic Murphy bed design is a box fitting within another box, with legs which rotate in or out, depending on the position of the bed. The cabinetry surrounding the bed can be simple or ornate.
The bed frame can be wood or metal. Metal frames have the advantage of being lighter-weight, making the bed easier to lower for elderly or handicapped users.
