More Space Place offers the largest selection of disappearing retractable beds including Murphy beds, panel beds, side beds and more. Most are available in King, Queen, Full, Twin XL and Twin sizes, and are offered in a variety of comfortable mattress choices including Euro-tops.

Stunning design and a space-saving miracle, that's all fine and well. But the most important aspect of a bed is comfort. Rest assured your Serta® or Tempupedic® mattress - both specifically designed for vertical storage and manufactured exclusively for More Space Place - represent the pinnacle in sleepy-time bliss. Options range from firm to Euro-top.

Beautiful cabinetry hides the mechanics of your More Space Place Murphy bed, which is kind of a shame. It deserves some time in the spotlight. The counterbalanced, spring-loaded mechanisms are engineered so perfectly, a gentle touch is all you need to raise and lower the bed.

History of the Murphy Bed

In 1894, William L. Murphy was a single man living in a cramped studio apartment in San Francisco. At the time, it was not socially acceptable to regale with females in the same room that brandished a bed. Murphy would constantly maneuver around the furniture when entertaining guests, so he decided to design a bed that could rest against the wall when it wasn’t in use. He began experimenting with a folding bed, pivoted on the doorjamb of a dressing closet and then lowered into its standard position. By the early 1900’s, Murphy’s idea was patented and the Murphy bed was in production.

The Murphy bed rapidly gained popularity as city life became vogue and space was at a premium. In 1925 the Murphy Bed Door Company moved its headquarters to New York City. During its heyday, the company produced more than 50,000 Murphy beds annually. World War II saw a widespread drop in the use of compact furniture with production limited due to a shortage of steel. After the war, returning G.I.’s were offered low-cost veterans mortgages and families began to move to the suburbs where they could have roomier homes. Families no longer needed space-saving products.

It wasn’t until the 1970’s that the Murphy bed resurgence began anew when a recession, oil embargos and high interest rates forced many Americans into smaller spaces. Several changes have brought about an increased interest in the Murphy bed. One is the way in which the beds are marketed.

Originally installed in a closet, today’s models are sold in conjunction with cabinets and other built-in furniture choices. This creates the option of combining a Murphy bed with a home office, increasingly essential in today’s home.

Lifestyle trends boosting the market for space-saving furniture include: well-heeled retirees abandoning their suburban homes for smaller condos, adult children staying at home, guest rooms doubling as home offices and young professional couples squeezing into tiny, expensive city apartments.

Recent Innovations

The increase in interest in wall beds is also stimulated by innovations and technical improvements. Key developments include improved raising/lowering mechanisms and better construction.

The key advancement on the frame mechanism features finely tuned steel-coil springs that counter-balance the weight of the bed. This innovation has made operation of the Murphy bed both safe and effortless.

The therma-fused melamine construction provides a more scratch-resistant surface that can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth. Structurally, it has exceptionally strong vertical support, capable of holding the heaviest of loads. The product is available in a large array of colors and finishes. With the addition of decorative moldings and trim, beautiful cabinetry with fine-furniture looks is a reality.

All bed cabinets are available in either thermally fused laminate on furniture grade composite board or all wood construction. These materials meet or exceed stringent EPP standards. The More Space Place is committed to practicing sound environmental and sustainability policies.
