5 Murphy Bunk Beds for Small Shared Kids’ Rooms
One of the most popular ways to make the most of a small sleeping space is with a wall bed, better known as a murphy bed. Not only do these beds fold up nicely when not in use, but they can also make a cramped bedroom feel downright palatial in just a few seconds. But what if you’re looking not for one bed, but two? That’s where murphy bunk beds come in.
Yep, you read that right. Casually concealing two twin-sized bunks, murphy bunk beds are a fantastic space-saving solution, but they’re not the easiest pieces to find. That’s why we did the searching for you!
What to Know About Murphy Bunk Beds
Buying a murphy bunk bed is a bit different from buying a regular bed. Here’s what to know before you start shopping:
- Murphy bunk beds are an investment. At the low end, murphy bunk beds will cost at least a couple thousand, and they go up from there. At the higher end, you can expect higher gloss finishes and additional features, like a desk.
- Some murphy bunk beds include mattresses. If you have mattresses already (or have a specific mattresses in mind), check to make sure you’re not paying for another pair — and that the dimensions will work with the bed you have in mind.
- Most murphy bunk beds feature a horizontal design. This means the longest side of the bed is designed to go along the wall. Our list does include one vertical option, which, when folded up, is the least conspicuous of the bunch.
