Murphy Bed Guide
A Murphy bed is a real bed that folds up into a cabinet when it is not being used. It gives you a comfortable place to sleep at night while helping you keep more open floor space during the day.
Modern wall beds are designed to look like built-in cabinetry when closed and a real, comfortable bed when open. At Murphy Bed Sales & Service, we custom make them locally in Hollywood, Florida with our own in-house steel system.
Our Murphy beds are custom built locally with No Pistons No Wires and a spring-loaded steel mechanism manufactured in-house by us.
You can explore real setups in our Murphy bed gallery.

Space-Saving Idea
One room can serve multiple purposes. Use it daily, then convert it into a sleeping space when needed.
This is one of the easiest ways to add function without making a room feel crowded.
Home Office Layout
Work during the day and convert it into a guest room at night.
