One wall. Several jobs.
Create a real sleeping surface without dedicating the room to a bed every day.
Use the same space as an office, den, craft room, bonus room, or flex room.
Add open bookcases, doors, or a combination depending on the selected cabinetry.
The cabinet rests on the floor and is secured to the wall according to the model’s installation requirements.

How the Murphy bed opens
Pull. Lower. Extend the legs. Welcome your guests.
Open the cabinet
Use the integrated handle or front edge specified for the model and begin lowering the bed.
Guide the bed down
The mechanism is designed to help manage the motion, but the feel and operating force should be tested in person.
Extend the support legs
The folding legs support the open bed. Confirm that they are fully positioned before use.
Close it when guests leave
Return the bed to the cabinet so the room can go back to its everyday purpose.
Murphy beds with side cabinets
Open shelves, doors, or both.
Side cabinets can make the wall bed feel like a complete furniture system rather than a bed cabinet placed by itself.
Open bookcases
Keep books, objects, baskets, or everyday items visible and within reach.
Cabinets with doors
Conceal office supplies, linens, guest items, or anything you would rather keep out of sight.
Mixed storage
Combine display space with closed storage, depending on the selected side-cabinet program.
Explore options such as the Pier Cabinet V600, or browse the full Murphy-bed and cabinet collection. Ask about matching sizes, finishes, and configurations for the bed you choose.
Bed size and mattress fit
The right mattress is part of the mechanism.
Murphy-bed size and mattress requirements depend on the model. The queen bed shown in the demonstration is one example. Confirm the mattress type, thickness, dimensions, and weight required for the wall-bed mechanism you choose.
A useful option when wall width is limited or the room needs one sleeping place.
More sleeping width without the larger cabinet and projection associated with a Queen.
The size demonstrated in the video. Check wall width, ceiling height, and open projection carefully.
Check the exact model: the Connecticut Murphy Bed listing specifies a 12-inch innerspring mattress and lists Twin, Twin XL, Full, and Queen sizes. Confirm the current specifications before ordering a bed or mattress.
Bring measurements
What to measure before buying a Murphy bed.
The cabinet footprint is only half of the planning. The open bed, side cabinets, walkways, trim, and nearby furniture all need to work together.
Wall width
Include the bed cabinet and the full width of any side cabinets.
Ceiling height
Vertical beds need enough height for the closed cabinet and safe installation.
Open projection
Measure how far the bed extends into the room when fully lowered.
Walking space
Leave practical clearance around the sides and foot of the open bed.
Trim and baseboards
Note baseboard depth, crown molding, and any wall irregularities.
Outlets and vents
Record anything the cabinet or side units should not block.
Doors and windows
Check swings, curtains, and clearance in both the open and closed positions.
Delivery path
Measure doorways, stairs, elevators, and hallways leading to the room.
What you need to see in person
What to compare during your showroom visit.
A wall bed is a mechanism, mattress, cabinet, and room plan all at once. These are the details worth seeing and discussing in person.
The opening motion
Lower and raise the bed so you know how the mechanism feels to you.
The support legs
See how the legs unfold, support the open bed, and return to the cabinet.
The mattress relationship
Confirm thickness, type, weight, fit, and how the mattress is secured when closed.
The cabinet depth
Understand how far the closed cabinet projects from the wall.
The finish
Wood tones and painted finishes can read differently in person than on a screen.
The side storage
Open doors, study shelf depth, and decide what needs to stay visible or concealed.
The anchoring plan
Ask how the exact unit attaches to the wall and what the installation requires.
The room transformation
Picture the space in both modes: everyday room and guest room.
A guest room when you need it. Your room back when you don’t.

Frequently asked questions
Buying a Murphy bed in Nashville: FAQs
Where can I buy a Murphy bed in Nashville?
2 Danes sells Murphy beds and wall beds at its Nashville furniture store on White Bridge Road. Browse the Murphy-bed collection online to explore styles, then contact the showroom about current models, pricing, and ordering options.
Can I see a Murphy bed before buying?
Call 2 Danes at 615-352-6085 to ask which Murphy beds are currently available for an in-person demonstration. The showroom is at 73 White Bridge Road, Suite 109, Nashville, TN 37205. Checking ahead helps you plan around the models and features you would like to see.
Does 2 Danes sell horizontal Murphy beds?
Yes. The online collection includes the Connecticut Horizontal Murphy Bed, which opens from the side. Compare its cabinet height, width, and open-bed projection with a vertical model before deciding which layout works for your room.
What is a Murphy bed with side cabinets?
It is a cabinet-style wall bed paired with optional storage units. Depending on the selected design, the side cabinets may use open shelving, doors, or a combination of both.
What sizes do Murphy beds come in?
The Connecticut Murphy Bed and Connecticut Horizontal Murphy Bed listings include Twin, Twin XL, Full, and Queen sizes. Size availability and cabinet dimensions depend on the model. Confirm the current options before ordering.
Can I use any mattress in a Murphy bed?
Not necessarily. For example, the Connecticut Murphy Bed listing specifies a 12-inch innerspring mattress. Confirm the type, dimensions, thickness, and weight required for the exact mechanism before choosing a mattress.
Does a Murphy bed have to be anchored to the wall?
The cabinet-style wall bed shown here rests on the floor and requires secure wall anchoring. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions for the exact model and wall construction, and ask what professional installation is required before ordering.
Can a cabinet-style Murphy bed be moved later?
Relocation may be possible, but the unit must be properly detached, moved, and securely reinstalled. Professional help may be appropriate because the anchoring and wall conditions matter.
Can the side cabinets be open bookcases?
Yes, the demonstrated program includes open bookcase options. Depending on the configuration, doors may also be added for concealed storage.
Can I hang artwork behind the open bed?
The showroom demonstration shows artwork on the wall behind the open bed. Placement must stay clear of the mattress, mechanism, and moving parts, so confirm safe clearances for the exact model.
How much floor space does a Murphy bed need when open?
Open projection varies by size and orientation. Measure the cabinet depth, open-bed projection, walking clearance, and any nearby doors, windows, outlets, or furniture.
Can a home office also work as a guest room?
Yes. That is one of the main reasons customers consider a Murphy bed: the room can function as an office, den, craft room, or flex room most of the time and become a sleeping space when guests arrive.
