Are you running out of space in your home here in Seattle, and are ready to make some changes? A great way to immediately save space is by incorporating a Murphy bed into your home. Whether for yourself or for when guests come into town, a Murphy bed, also known as a wall bed, is a fold-down bed that rests inside the wall during daytime hours. Keep your home office, living area or playroom in tact while enjoying an easy way to grab some sleep.
Wall beds come in all shapes and sizes. The two most popular options are the Standard Wall Bed and the Side-Tilt Wall Bed. Here’s the difference.
Standard Wall Bed
The more standard configuration, this option feels more like a traditional bed. This vertical system is our most popular since it allows the user to have access to both sides of the unit.
- Usable storage is included to make the most of the space.
- Sturdy mechanisms are designed for years of regular use.
- A smooth opening and closing action make it easy to operate.
- Transform any space into a guest room instantly or maximize daytime space in a bedroom.
Side-Tilt Wall Bed
Ideal for use in a guest room or office, this configuration perfectly utilizes available wall space. An ideal solution when square footage is minimal, this wall bed has less of a footprint into the room when opened.
- Usable storage is included to make the most of the space.
- Sturdy mechanisms are designed for years of regular use.
- A smooth opening and closing action make it easy to operate.
- Transform any space into a guest room instantly or maximize daytime space in a bedroom.
- The altered footprint of a side-tilt wall bed makes it ideal for a tight space or small room
For home offices and playrooms or spaces with minimal square footage, a side-tilt wall bed will probably be the best option. For more space, a standard wall bed is great so that you have access to both sides of the bed.
