Office or Guest Room? Why Not Both?

The murphy bed is a flexible tool that allows you to maximize your space. If you're not already intrigued, let me tell you about the set-up, style, and comfort benefits!

The murphy bed has simple instructions for easy set-up!

The cabinet has a bottom drawer that extends out. On either side of the cabinet, there will be latches you'll have to release. Then, you'll gradually unfold the front of the cabinet to provide structural support for the mattress.

After that, all that's left to do is pull out the mattress and dress it with the appropriately sized sheets and comforter.

When investing in a murphy bed, some homeowners are concerned about matching it with other furniture, as well as how comfortable it will be for their guests.

Fortunately, there are several finishing options and frames available. You can get a cabinet in cherry, dark chocolate, stonewash, and even a softer brushed driftwood option for a beach cottage feel. The extent of styles makes it easy to choose a cabinet color that will blend with any design scheme or furniture.

Certain cabinet styles offer power plug and nightstand additions depending on your needs.   

Many adults remember nights in college when they'd crash on a friend's futon, only to wake the next morning with discomfort and pain.

These mattresses can fold easily into the cabinet without the need for metal bars, and come in a standard queen size.
