Why Choose This Horizontal Murphy Bed Double Size Kit?
Our horizontal Murphy bed kit is designed for homeowners who need a space-saving bed but don't have the ceiling height required for a vertical Murphy bed. By folding sideways instead of upwards, it provides greater flexibility for rooms where a traditional vertical wall bed isn't practical.
Once assembled, you'll have a durable, smooth-operating wall bed that folds neatly away when not in use, allowing you to reclaim valuable floor space throughout the day.
