How Murphy Bed Sizes works

Murphy Bed Sizes is a reference site. It lists the dimensions that wall bed manufacturers publish and compares them with the size of a room. It covers 84 beds in 29 models from 6 brands.

Brands and recalls covered

The 6 brands are Lori Beds, The Bedder Way Co., Expand Furniture, Bestar, Wilding Wallbeds and Resource Furniture. Each size and orientation of a model counts as one bed. The recall list has every CPSC recall record that mentions a Murphy bed, wall bed or cabinet bed.

Sources of the dimensions

Every width, height, depth, projection and ceiling height comes from the manufacturer's own product page, dimensions page or measurement guide, and each one has a source link. A dimension the manufacturer does not publish is shown as “Not listed”. No dimension is estimated, averaged or taken from a similar bed.

Two columns are calculated. Bedder Way minimum ceiling heights use the rule Bedder Way lists, which is bed height plus 2 1/2 inches. Room depth with a 30-inch walkway is the open projection plus 30 inches.

Recall text is quoted from the Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall database without edits, with a link to each notice.

Limits

No beds were tested, handled or slept on for this site. The site does not rate comfort, quality or safety. It gives no mounting, anchoring or wall-strength advice. Those belong to the manufacturer's install instructions or a professional installer.

Funding

The site has no income at present. There are no ads and no affiliate links. Links to manufacturers are plain links. If that changes, this page and every page with a paid link will say so.

Corrections

Manufacturers change their beds. Corrections go to [email protected] with a link to the manufacturer's page, and the dimension is checked again.
