How to Choose a Mattress for Your Murphy Bed Therefore, it is important that the wall you plan to place your Murphy bed on be long enough to accommodate the width of the bed and the cabinets. However, the width of the cabinets can vary between 18 and 30 inches. The depth of the cabinet is typically the same at the bed. This applies to both horizontal and vertical models. Most Murphy bed cabinets have a height that is about half an inch to an inch below the top of the bed (when in the closed position). When measuring for your new Murphy bed, be sure to account for cabinets if this is a feature you want your new frame to have. You can also use these cabinets for additional storage space. Adding cabinets to your vertical or horizontal wall bed is a great way to add shelving for pictures or books. Many Murphy beds also come with side cabinets on one or both sides of the bed.
The chart below outlines the typical dimensions for a standard horizontal Murphy bed. These frames are side-mounted, so you can enter the bed only from one side (the side not attached to the wall). Horizontal Murphy beds are less common, but they are a great option for a child’s bedroom, guest room, or in a space with low ceilings. This open space will allow you to move freely around the bed. You will also want to leave 30 to 36 inches of space on each side of the bed. Once you determine the size you want, be sure you have the ceiling height and floor space for the bed to fit comfortably. The following chart shows the most common dimensions for a standard vertical Murphy bed. When pulling down the bed, be sure you have enough clearance to avoid fans and chandeliers. When considering height it is also important to account for any ceiling fans. Vertical Murphy beds work best in spaces with ample ceiling height to accommodate the cabinet. This model allows you to enter the bed from either side. Vertical Murphy beds are the most common because they resemble a normal bed frame when in the open position.
Also, these measurements are for wall beds designed to accommodate standard size mattresses, such as twin, twin XL, full/double, queen, and king size mattresses.
The dimensions outlined in this article are for fully assembled Murphy beds. Knowing these dimensions will give you a better understanding of how the bed will fit in your space. This is the length from the wall to the edge of the bed frame. You should also look at the projection of the bed when it is open. When measuring a room for a Murphy bed, you should consider the height, width, and depth of the bed when it is in the closed position. Throughout this article, we outline the measurements of both vertical and horizontal Murphy beds. Before deciding if a Murphy is right for you, it is important to compare the dimensions of your sleep space with those of a standard wall bed.
