The Up & Downs Of  A Murphy Bed in New Jersey

George Chowanec • Jan 27, 2016

Do you struggle to find room for when friends or family come to stay? Does a pull-out sofa bed or air mattress still fall short of meeting you or your guests’ needs? Without a dedicated guest room, having guests stay over for more than a day or two can become a tedious and inconvenient affair. Many guests will not feel comfortable on a sofa bed or a mattress on the floor. Maybe you’ve been shirking the issue by recommending them to local B&B’s and hotels instead.

Then perhaps a Murphy Bedcould be the perfect solution for you! So let’s take a look at how a Murphy bed might benefit you.

Is A Murphy Bed The Right Solution in New Jersey?

Custom Murphy Bed

What Is a Murphy Bed?

A Murphy Bed, also known as a wall bed - is a fold down bed that is hinged at one end that can be folded and stored vertically against a wall inside a custom closet.

A Murphy Bed is the ultimate space maximizer. During the day a Murphy bed can only be seen as storage or a display unit against the wall with drawers and shelves. However by night, it folds down quickly and easily, and turns into a regular bed offering all the comforts of a good-quality mattress for delivering better support for your guests. Once your guests are up and off the bed, simply fold the bed back away, complete with all its bedding. Within seconds it will appear as if no-one has even been sleeping there.

Where Can You Put a Murphy Bed?

A Murphy Bed is a very attractive solution for small homes, studio apartments, home offices, mobile homes or anywhere that floor space is very limited.

With a Murphy Bed you can turn any room into a guest room. It doesn’t matter if it’s a home office, studio, or a lounge room, a Murphy Bed can be customized to suit any space in your home, even a dining room. Not only will you maintain all the functionality of that room’s purpose, but you will also have a very attractive solution for guests anytime they come to stay - the perfect solution!

Other Advantages of a Murphy Bed?

When planning to create a multi-use room, storage space is an important consideration. Not only do you need to keep your items organized, but your guests will need a place to put their luggage too.

A Murphy Bed comes with built-in storage or a display unit which can include shelves and drawers, at one or both sides of the bed. This is great for storing or displaying your belongings, whether it be home office resources, books or any other lounge room nicknacks. Then, when guests arrive they will also have a place to put their personal items and luggage away and out of sight, keeping your space comfortable and functional for all.

Something For All Occasions

Once you have a Murphy Bed installed you will be surprised at just how often you will use it.

They are great for many situations such as for:

  • Friends who need a place to crash at the last minute after you’ve had a late night out together
  • A sick family member that needs some space to recover without disturbing others
  • That unexpected visitor arriving on the weekend or family that may be flying in for the holidays
  • … and more.

Just think, you will never need to covertly redirect them to a hotel again.

Even when your Murphy Bed is not being used, it is a great place for storage of all kinds of things like linen, books, craft or art supplies, seasonal clothing, home office equipment or even your collectables and keepsakes. The options are endless.

The only real downside about having a Murphy Bed installed is...well, there actually isn’t any!
