DIMENSIONS
Overview
Measuring is one of the most important steps to take once you’ve decided to shop for Murphy beds. Dimensions, including the height, width, depth (when closed) and projection from the wall (when open), will allow you to easily see how your Murphy bed and side cabinets, if you choose them, will fit on a wall in your space. The Murphy bed dimensions you see below represent the size of the constructed bed, not its deconstructed measurements when delivered.
All of our vertical and horizontal Murphy bed sizes are designed to accommodate standard mattress widths. As long as the innerspring mattress you choose is no thicker than 12”, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect fit for your Murphy bed frame.
NOTE: We can accommodate mattresses thicker than 12” at an additional charge. Contact us if you have a non-standard mattress you’d like to use in your Murphy bed frame, such as a Tempur-Pedic, Latex, Pillow-top or other style. We’ll let you know how the construction of your wall bed will be affected and help you find the ideal custom solution. For more information on the mattresses offered at The Bedder Way Co., visit our mattress page.
Vertical Murphy Bed Dimensions
If your room has ample ceiling height and adequate floor space, a vertical bed design is your best option. Vertical Murphy beds are our most commonly purchased style since they are similar a normal bed where people can get onto the mattress from either side. And with a variety of face panel designs and stain colors to choose from, your fully functioning, space-saving bed becomes a beautifully hidden secret. Find the overall bed size dimensions of our different frame styles in the table below.

Vertical Side Cabinet Dimensions
Side cabinets are a great addition to your vertical murphy bed if you’re looking for extra hidden storage and decorative flair. There’s a variety of options to choose from in side cabinet layout: all open shelves, doors, drawers or a mix of each. You can also choose from three different widths: 18 inches, 24 inches or 30 inches.
To account for the total width of a project when purchasing side cabinets for your Murphy bed, simply add the widths of each side cabinet and the crown molding of the Murphy bed together. The side cabinets will easily install next to the Murphy bed frame on either side — even between two Murphy beds or other cabinets. Cabinet doors swing away from the Murphy bed. Side cabinets can also be ordered after receiving your Murphy bed if you decide that having them would benefit the space.

Horizontal Side Cabinet Dimensions
If you want to add more storage and style to your horizontal Murphy bed frame, side cabinets are perfect for you. Like our vertical cabinets, you can choose to have all open shelves, doors and drawers or a couple of each, and you can pick from 18 inch, 24 inch and 30 inch widths.
To account for the total width of a project with side cabinets, simply add together the widths of the side cabinets and the Murphy bed frame. Side cabinets install easily on either side of the horizontal Murphy bed, with doors that swing away from the bed frame. They can also be ordered after the initial Murphy bed order if you decide they are necessary later.
