The Top 5 Reasons To Buy A Murphy Bed
Top 5 Reasons To Buy a Murphy Bed
Once fodder for dirty jokes and bad comedies, Murphy beds are making a comeback! With a variety of Murphy beds available now in different finishes and styles, Murphy beds (also known as wallbeds) can be a great addition to your small living space!
A Murphy bed is a bed that flips up at the head end for vertical storage inside a closet or a cabinet. The mattress is attached to the bed frame and does not have box springs. Below, allow me to outline 5 reasons why your next bed should be a Murphy bed.
1.) Great For Small Rooms & Apartments: A Murphy bed is a great option if you're looking to maximize space in your bedroom or studio apartment. With some varieties folding up into a closet space you simply fold your bed away in the morning or when company is over. Other varieties of wallbeds moonlight as modular cabinetry units, allowing for more storage space.
2.) Many Veneers and Finishes Available: The great thing about purchasing a Murphy bed nowadays is the number of finish options you have available. Solid wood veneers are a great option if you are looking for a natural look in your bedroom. Murphy beds with a wood veneer are also typically more affordable than a solid wood Murphy bed. You can also stain or paint your bed if color is a problem for you. Purchasing a Murphy bed with a laminate veneer is another option. With the variety of finishing options you can customize the look of your bedroom and not worry about a Murphy bed making it look tacky.
3.) Murphy Beds Available In All Styles: When I used to think of Murphy beds, I had an image of a cot falling out of a closet along with an ironing board and cleaning supplies. While there are types of Murphy beds that fit into a closet, there are also plenty of modern Murphy beds that allow you to maximize space and not skimp on style. Many modern wallbeds are custom made so you may be paying a pretty penny for these. That's not to say that you can't find a stylish and affordable wallbed. With a variety of finishing options you can choose one that works for your space. You can even finish it yourself and achieve the perfect look on a fixed budget.
4.) Murphy Beds Are Comfortable: Contrary to popular belief, today's Murphy beds are quite comfortable. Since collapsing the Murphy bed into the wall doesn't require you to fold the mattress at all, there won't be any uncomfortable creases across the width of the mattress like on a sofa bed. Essentially, you are sleeping on a quality innerspring mattress without the bars and lumps associated with futons and sofa beds. There's no need to purchase any special bedding since Murphy beds use a normal size mattress.
5.) Easy Installation Options: Many Murphy bed companies offer in home installation options. For those companies that don't offer installation options, easy-to-follow self-installation instructions are provided as well as customer support from the manufacturer.
