Are Murphy Beds Comfortable for Everyday Use? Here’s What You Should Know

Murphy beds - also known as wall beds - are beloved for their space-saving design and flexibility. They’re ideal for small apartments, guest rooms, and multipurpose spaces. But one question we hear often at Everything Murphy Bed is: Are Murphy beds actually comfortable for daily use?

The answer is yes - with the right setup. Here’s what you need to consider to ensure everyday comfort from your Murphy bed.

Comfort Depends on the Mattress

First and foremost: it’s all about the mattress. Unlike sleeper sofas or futons, Murphy beds usually support standard mattresses, which means you don’t have to compromise on quality.

If you’re planning to sleep on your Murphy bed every night, choose a memory foam or hybrid mattress with a thickness of around 10 to 12 inches. Just make sure the bed frame you choose at Everything Murphy Bed supports your preferred mattress height - some designs have thickness limits.

A quality mattress turns your Murphy bed into a full-time comfort zone.

Frame Design Matters

Not all Murphy beds are created equal. The frame and support system play a big role in overall comfort. At Everything Murphy Bed, we offer models with solid platforms or slatted bases that provide stable support for your mattress - eliminating the sagging or uneven feel that can come with cheaper frames.

Daily use also calls for a smooth lift mechanism. Look for models with reliable spring or piston systems that make setup quick and effortless - because convenience matters when you’re using the bed every night.

Everyday Use = Everyday Convenience

Murphy beds aren’t just about sleeping - they’re about reclaiming your space. Whether you're living in a studio apartment or converting a home office into a bedroom at night, the ability to fold up your bed makes a big difference.

If you're considering a Murphy bed for daily use, we recommend looking at our built-in models with shelving, desks, or cabinets. They combine sleep and storage, giving you a sleek, functional room setup without the clutter.
