What is a Murphy Bed or Wall Bed?
Let's call it the most useful, space-saving invention of all time... Whatever you call it, there is no mistaking the invaluable utility of a bed that just disappears in plain sight. Featuring a counter balance mechanism which allows the folding bed to be easily opened and closed by any user, a quality Murphy Bed is the perfect way to add sleeping capacity to even the smallest of spaces. When William Murphy invented the "Disappearing Bed" over a century ago, could he have possibly known how significant his contribution would be? At Stuart David Furniture, we have taken Murphy's inspiration and run with it.
In the greater Modesto, Sacramento, Fresno, Livermore, Oakdale areas, Stuart David is by far the best choice for beautifully crafted solid wood murphy beds. We believe we are the best choice full stop, period. While some people imagine only a Wall Bed’s practical application, we have taken the concept much further, manufacturing beautiful solid wood works of art. They don’t have to simply be a hidden bed…
Not everyone has the same taste in furniture and décor. For this reason, we offer 15+ different styles of real wood wall beds to choose from. That is 15 esthetically unique designs. From deluxe statement pieces to price conscious economical solutions, we have a wall bed for you. Stuart David has always been a custom factory and store. We believe that offering locally made, quality real wood products along with choice adds the greatest value for our customers. We offer thousands of custom configurations, wood selections, stains, paints, and hardware.
A Murphy bed can be more than just a place to sleep. Want a wall system including bookcases, nightstands, wardrobes, a working desk, and beyond? We do that. We even offer deluxe options inside of the beds such as articulating headboards. As the solid wood door or tray hinges outwards into the room, a headboard panel almost magically articulates upwards and back. This yields a functional head and backrest that also ensures pillows remain in place on the mattresses during the night. Have a little extra space in your room? By adding additional depth, we can add a ledge or shelf and cubby behind your articulating headboard with a USB power supply for a clock or phone charging. Because more and more people recognize the amazing utility and space saving capability of a murphy bed, more and more people are choosing to make these not just a guest bed, but their everyday bed. Imagine the play space freed up in a child’s room when the bed just folds up to a wall!
Our studio collection is a sight to see! These vertical and horizontal solid wood murphy beds have a modern or European feel. Instead of a wall bed and accompanying side units or bookcase, the bookcases are actually the structure of the murphy bed. These systems create a minimalist feel, while adding lots of utility. Horizontal studio versions of this line include a cubby or horizontal bookcase area above the wall bed for a handsome display of your personal knickknacks and beyond. We even offer a corner version of this product line. Imagine that! Filling adjacent walls with beautiful solid wood vertical and horizontal wall beds!
How is a wall bed held up?
They attach to a wall. This means it must be securely fastened to an inner stud(s) via a few screws. Homes or commercial buildings with metal studs require special toggle bolts to the same end. To ease installation, our wall beds feature a cut-out (1 x 6”) so that removal or cutting of existing base molding is NOT required. This makes installation a snap.
Things to consider before purchasing a wall bed.
There are at least two limiting factors to consider when shopping for this furniture. Will the ceiling be too short for the installation? Typically, a ceiling needs to have at least 3-4 inches of space between it and the overall height of the bed. The other potential set back might be the location or height of a ceiling fan in the room. Conveniently, Stuart David provides door swing measurements / estimations so this concern can be addressed. In situations where one of these considerations might cause an issue, our Horizontal Wall Beds offer a fantastic solution.
Will I see the mechanism bolts / hardware on my new murphy bed?
Depending on the style and configuration you may see some hardware. Our Deluxe styles cover all mechanism bolts and fasteners, and are completely ‘finished off”. In addition, our non-Deluxe wall beds can be purchased with end covers that add minimal width to the murphy bed, while covering up all bolts, and so on, similar to the Deluxe Wall Beds. In addition, with only one exception, adding a pier or bookcase to a wall bed will also cover any mechanism bolts and structural fasteners.
