Every Murphy cabinet bed Archic sells is a free-standing cabinet: no wall or floor mounting, and it opens into a real bed with the mattress stored inside. The main choice is between two makers. Most Night and Day Furniture models are solid rubberwood cabinets with a gel memory foam mattress, and the Murphy Cube and credenza queens carry a 10-year cabinet warranty. Arason builds the Creden-ZzZ chest style with a flip top, a solid sleeping platform and a 6-inch tri-fold mattress. The chart below compares every model using the specs on each product page. A dash means the spec is not published.

- Depth: Arason cabinets are 23 inches deep. The Night and Day credenza models are 23.7 inches deep and the Murphy Cube is 26.4 inches.
- Warranty: Night and Day publishes a 10-year cabinet and 3-year mattress warranty.
- Twin and full sizes: choose the Night and Day Orion (twin or full), the Siesta desk bed (twin), or the Arason Coffee Espresso and Madrid (full or queen).
