Not so much is it the challenge of getting a good night's sleep, but is the constant pursuit of making space for a piece of furniture that calls you all day, yet is relegated to a dark corner of your home and only touched 5-8 hours of your day. Your bed deserves more than that and so does the time you spend investing in solutions to make your home more comfortable, entertaining, and at peace with your soul.
Murphy beds, also referred to as wallbeds or foldaway beds, have long been used as one of the most practical pieces of furniture in the house. Not only can they save space, but they can double as couches or seating areas.
They work within hip loft spaces, as well as turn of the century classic homes. Dress them or up down - they haven't really lost their place, but consumers have not had exposure to the the know-how on installation nor has the long-forgotten wallbed been the frontpage feature of Architectural Digest.
A wallbed can provide multi-functional space in your home, and still remain tasteful.
Wallbeds come in various flavors and finishes.
Finishes and Construction
Lower-end beds are constructed of particle board and use a veneer surface layer to mimic the effect of solid wood. Higher-end beds are made from solid wood, and are hand-finished with stain and a gloss or matte clear coat poly.
Configurations
Beds can use mechanisms that fold the bed out length-wise or width-wise. A bed that folds out width-wise if a bigger space saver, however the drawbacks are that the guests may end up in an awkward position or in the case of 2 guests, one of them will be trapped against a wall.
Beds can be integrated within a wall cabinet, a closet, a hutch/chest, and even a desk. They can be accompanied by shelving, drawers and lighting. Some options include a slide out night stand, and lower drawer storage.
