When you think about Murphy beds (also known as wall beds), the first thing that comes to mind is that they save space. However, what homeowners across Canada ask us all the time is: “Are Murphy beds comfortable to sleep on every night?” The answer is: yes, if you have the right one.
In this post, we’ll examine why Murphy beds are comfortable for nightly use and why an increasing number of Canadians are considering them as their primary sleep solution.
Murphy Beds Have Come a Long Way
No longer is it about Murphy beds — a term once associated with those skinny mattresses that curl up in a foldaway wall contraption, in whose case companies are investing heavily, and we mean heavily, to make them un-squeak. The Murphy bed of today is nestled inside gorgeous cabinetry and is designed to offer comfort and longevity — it is frequently impossible to distinguish between today’s beds and stationary ones.
At Beds Off The Wall, we offer contemporary Murphy beds featuring a full-size luxury mattress, easy-lifting systems, and solid cabinetry that complements any room in the house.
What Makes a Murphy Bed Comfortable?
So, what are the factors that determine the comfort of a Murphy Bed?
Quality Mattress Options: Most contemporary Murphy beds accommodate standard-size mattresses, allowing you the option of choosing from a variety of options, including plush to firm and firm hybrid models, just like with a regular bed.
Mattresses with a thickness of up to 10” are recommended for an optimal balance of comfort and ease of use.
Strong Support System: Beds Off The Wall provides the full compliment of Murphy Brand Hardware… the best in the industry with an engineers weight rating of $1700 lbs.
Smooth Lift Mechanism: Our Murphy Brand lift mechanisms ensure a simple one finger operation… never heavy, never a safety concern… just quality smooth safe operation
Ideal for Small Spaces — Without Compromising Sleep
Murphy beds are great, no matter if you’re styling a condo in downtown Toronto, a guest suite in Vancouver, or a multi-use room in a family home or cottage. They leave valuable floor space free folding away into a cabinet, however they don’t skimp on a perfect night’s sleep.
Many of our clients throughout Canada have Murphy beds in their master bedrooms, not just in spare rooms or offices.
Designed for Daily Use
The Murphy beds at Beds Off The Wall are designed to be opened and closed daily, and are tested to ensure they last thousands of cycles. The bed cabinet can keep dust and moisture out when closed.
Depending on the design, you can even leave your bedding (and pillows or duvets) in place when you fold the bed up, so the are always ready to use.
So, Should You Sleep on a Murphy Bed Every Night?
Absolutely — if it’s well-built. Equipped with a premium mattress, strong support system, and reliable operating hardware, a Murphy bed is an extremely comfortable and trustworthy place to sleep. Further it’s an eminently practical long-term commitment to modern Canadian living, with the added benefit of space-saving flexibility.
