Murphy beds are great for small rooms, but only if you don’t mind the size of the bed. If you are short on space, then a Murphy bed is not a good option. They can be built in any room as long as it has a flat floor and they can be used in any position that you like. You could have one on your lounge sofa or on your bedside table if you prefer.
Murphy beds are also great for use as seating if you have no room for an extra piece of furniture. They are popular in student halls of residence because they provide a place to sit and relax during the day, but also provide extra sleeping space at night when students don’t want to use their own bed or even share a bed with their partner.
