Horizontal Murphy Beds – Space-Saving Wall Beds for Wide Rooms

Horizontal Murphy beds are designed for rooms with ample wall width but limited depth. This orientation is perfect for wider bedrooms, living rooms, and spaces where you want the bed to fold horizontally along a long wall, creating a sleek and space-efficient solution.

When closed, a horizontal wall bed sits flush against the wall, freeing up floor space for other activities. The bed unfolds horizontally to provide a comfortable sleeping surface, making it an excellent choice for rooms with lower ceilings or wider wall configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions – Horizontal Murphy Beds

What is a horizontal Murphy bed?

A horizontal Murphy bed is a wall bed that folds down sideways along a wide wall, rather than vertically from the ceiling. This makes it ideal for rooms with lower ceilings or wide wall configurations where a vertical fold-down wouldn't be practical.

What room types are best suited for a horizontal Murphy bed?

Horizontal Murphy beds work best in rooms with a wide, unobstructed wall — such as open-plan living rooms, wider bedrooms, studio flats, or home offices. They're particularly popular in UK homes where ceiling heights can be lower than average.

What mattress size does a horizontal Murphy bed accommodate?

Our horizontal Murphy beds are available in standard UK sizes. The bed frame supports mattresses up to 21 cm thick, so most standard foam, memory foam, and hybrid mattresses are compatible.

How much weight can a horizontal Murphy bed hold?

The beds in our Basic collection support a load capacity of up to 220 kg, making them suitable for two adults.

Is the mechanism easy to operate?

Yes. All our horizontal Murphy beds feature a spring-assisted mechanism that makes folding the bed up and down smooth and effortless — no special tools or effort required.

Can I add storage to a horizontal Murphy bed?

Absolutely. We offer configurations with integrated wardrobes on one or both sides of the bed unit, giving you extra storage without sacrificing floor space.

How much wall space do I need for a horizontal Murphy bed?

The required wall width depends on the specific model and mattress size. As a general guide, you'll need enough width to accommodate the bed frame plus any side units. We recommend checking the product dimensions on each listing or contacting us for personalised advice.

Is professional installation required?

The beds are designed for straightforward installation and come with full instructions. However, due to the weight and wall-mounting requirements, we recommend having at least two people during assembly.

What is the Basic collection?

The Basic collection is our functional, no-compromise range of Murphy beds. Built with 18mm solid board construction, spring-assisted mechanisms, and a stable wooden bed frame, it delivers reliable everyday comfort at an accessible price point.
