Murphy Bed Alternative — Cabinet Bed
A Murphy bed, also known as a wall bed, is a space-saving bed that can be folded up and stored vertically against a wall when not in use. This allows for the efficient use of space in small apartments or rooms. However, a Murphy bed can be quite heavy and difficult to maneuver, and it also requires a significant amount of wall space.
On the other hand, a cabinet bed is a newer alternative to the traditional Murphy bed. It is essentially a freestanding cabinet that can be easily converted into a bed by simply pulling it out from the cabinet. Cabinet beds are typically more compact than Murphy beds and can be easily moved around the room, making them a more versatile option for smaller spaces. Additionally, cabinet beds often come with built-in storage space, eliminating the need for additional furniture. Overall, a cabinet bed offers a more modern and convenient alternative to the traditional Murphy bed.
About the Cabinet Bed
The Cabinet Bed is a standalone bed stored within a cabinet design. Just like a typical shelving unit, the frame is constructed from solid wood and multiple hardware pieces. However, our Cabinet Bed is so much more than a simple piece of furniture used for storage. In just 30 seconds, you can transform this beautiful, free-standing cabinet into a comfortable bed.
Every piece is made from quality, Canadian Birch plywood with no cheap MDF or Particle Board in sight. The premium hardware guarantees durability and creates a smooth transition from cabinet to bed. Customizable with high grade finishes in a variety of colours and hardware options makes it suitable for any style of home. Lastly, the CertiPUR-US Certified high quality mattress mattress is thick and comfortable, offering great support for every type of sleeper.
