In spite of jokes and comedy routines, a Murphy bed is an excellent solution to having daytime living space in a restricted area such as a small apartment or Tiny House. Unfortunately, landlords are not always amenable to tenants installing a major furnishing like a murphy bed if it needs to be attached to a wall. Most of the free-standing beds are oriented horizontally, so they take up the same amount of wall space as a standard bed when it is placed lengthwise against a wall. When folded, they look like a large cabinet.

They fold out into either a twin or any standard bed size for nighttime comfort, and then fold back up allowing you to have plenty of floor space during the day.

Available in 6 different designs, this bed is ideal for a studio apartment where space is limited. Folding the bed down from its vertical position takes seconds and the bed itself is strong and extremely comfortable, so you will have no need to be worried about sleeping.
