A Murphy cabinet bed, also called a Murphy bed cabinet or cabinet bed, is hidden bed furniture: a credenza, chest or cube that stores a folded mattress and opens into a real bed. Most models here are free-standing, with no wall or floor mounting.

How to choose a cabinet bed

  • Size: most are queen, and a few come in twin or full. See the cabinet bed size guide for dimensions.
  • Style: several Night and Day credenza-style queens keep a TV on top while open. Arason Creden-ZzZ chests have a flip top: slide items to the back rather than clearing it. The Murphy Cube is the lowest queen here at 36.6 inches high (the Orion twin and full are 36 inches).
  • Mattress: Arason chests include a tri-fold foam mattress, and the Sealy San Sebastian and Vintage White Murphy Cube list one with the bed. Night and Day sells most other models as a Complete Set with a gel memory foam mattress, and its queens also offer a hybrid pocket coil upgrade. The Artisan desk bed does not include a mattress.
  • Power and USB: the Night and Day credenza queens, the Arason chests and the Artisan desk bed list built-in outlets or USB. The Murphy Cube and the Orion do not, and the Vintage White Murphy Cube, Louvre and Sealy San Sebastian pages do not list a power module.
  • Storage: Arason chests have a drawer for pillows and bedding. The Siesta is a desk with bookshelves that becomes a twin bed, and the Artisan is a twin desk bed (see Murphy beds with a desk).

It’s a winner!

After shopping in furniture stores and online searches for a Murphy cabinet bed, I happened upon this one. The dimensions fit our space and the style is neutral enough to blend well with other furniture. We chose the cherry finish which is really lovely, The ratings provided by other shoppers were really helpful, and at several suggestions decided to also order the Memory foam mattress topper from this site.
Communication from the company was excellent as we planned for the arrival. My husband and I (both age 75) were able to easily assemble by following the video instructions which included unloading the freight parcel and moving it into the house. Allow 2+ hours start to finish. It’s a winner!

The Halifax medium cabinet works so well as our pantry. It is a solid beautiful piece, the glass doors adding to the country charm I was looking for. I am very happy with this purchase, the cabinet was also delivered in perfect condition. Thank you, CW Gold Coast

Cheryle W.

Thanks for the beautiful chairs which are perfect for my verandah. It was a long wait but worth it and you kept me informed about the shipment delay the whole time. Great delivery man as well!!

Ruth F.

Love the glass top doors to show off my china and the bottom solid part of the door to hide the things I don’t need to have seen.

Karen P.

I love that this is basically assembly free. All we had to do was attach the top to the base. Took less than a few minutes. It is very nice quality. The drawers and doors work well. It is very heavy so it took some heavy lifting. Completes the room beautifully!
