Despite jokes and comedy routines, a Murphy bed is an excellent solution for living in a limited space like a small apartment or house during the day. Unfortunately, landlords aren’t always available to renters installing a larger fixture like a Murphy bed that needs to be attached to a wall. Most freestanding beds are oriented horizontally, so they take up as much wall space as a standard bed when placed lengthwise against a wall. When folded, they look like a large closet.
They unfold into either a double or a standard bed size for night-time comfort, then fold back down to give you ample floor space during the day.
