Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions


How do I view the prices for a particular Murphy Bed?

The prices for each product are located on the page for a particular Murphy bed, bookcase, mattress and desk. For example: To view the price of a Queen Mission Murphy bed in the Oak Cherry stain, you would first go to the Mission bed page. From there, below the photo and description you will see a button that says, "Customize this Product. Click here for Finishes, Prices, Sizes, etc". Once you click the button a drop-down menu will slide out of the button and allow you to select from the size, the wood and stain, and any options you may want. As you select from the options the price will change as you select a particular option.

What is the difference between Oak and Maple?

While maple is an open-grained hardwood that has alternating areas of relatively porous and dense wood causing an accentuation of grain pattern, oak is closed-grained, demonstrating a more uniform grain texture throughout furniture. To see the difference yourself, visit our Woods & Finishes page.

Do you carry Horizontal Murphy Beds?

We sure do. Our Horizontal Murphy Bed utilizes the same high-tech Murphy Bed mechanism as our other collections, however the Horizontal Murphy Bed raises and lowers the mattress on its side, rather than the foot of the folding bed. This option is ideal for rooms with ceiling and projection constraints. Check out our Horizontal Murphy Bed Collection.
