Murphy Beds with Desks

Queen murphy bed with desk and full size options

A queen murphy bed with desk suits a guest room that doubles as an office. Queen units come in white or gray, with side shelves, overhead cabinets, LED lights or a vanity mirror, and several take an 8 to 10 inch mattress. Full size models include black and weathered gray units with rattan-look upper cabinets, white and gray beds with a desk and bookshelf, and a white unit with a glass-door hutch. A twin XL bed with a desk, LED light and USB ports fits a smaller room.

How the desk works on a murphy bed with desk and storage

Desks sit in one of two places. On many units the desk panel is on the bed front, so it is your workspace while the bed is folded up and acts as a shelf when the bed is down. On one queen model the desk stays level as the bed opens and closes. Side-desk units, like the glass-door hutch and vanity models, keep the desk free even when the bed is down.

Vertical murphy bed with desk and lift

A vertical murphy bed with desk stands the mattress upright against the wall, which suits a room with a tall wall and limited width. The white queen wall bed uses gas struts to help lift the mattress into a cabinet a little over 23 inches deep, leaving the desk usable. Several beds here need no box spring and rest the mattress on wood slats.

Modern murphy bed with desk sizing

Measure the wall and the floor in front of it. Larger units run about 98 to 116 inches long with side storage, and several queen desk models reach about 92.4 inches from the wall when open. Rated capacities run from 400 to 600 pounds where stated. Plan for assembly and wall anchoring on every unit.
