There are many choices available for those in the market for a Murphy bed. Modern wall beds come in multiple sizes (including a double bed!), orientations, and finishes, which can complement the design of most rooms in your home.
Many of today’s Murphy bed models, such as Lori Beds, are high-quality pieces of furniture that can help you transform your spare guest room into a stylish and functional living space.
A Double Murphy bed, also called a Full Murphy bed, is a popular choice for Lori Bed customers. One reason is because Lori’s Queen/Full Murphy bed model gives you room to grow. The frame can accommodate both a full-size and queen-size mattress, making it easy to upgrade when the time is right.

Mattress Size
Each Murphy bed cabinet can accommodate a specific maximum mattress thickness, which is listed in the product description.
The Lori Bed can accommodate any mattress that is 12 inches tall (a relatively thick mattress) or less.
These mattress sizes are readily available on the market, and you shouldn’t have any trouble finding the right fit. In fact, a normal thickness ranges from 9 to 12 inches. Retailers like Amazon, Overstock, and Walmart all offer a variety of options — though Lori Beds recommends steering clear of any mattress weighing over 100 pounds.
Keep in mind that you’ll also be storing linens and possibly pillows, which may increase the thickness of your mattress by an inch or two.

One of the greatest advantages of the Lori Bed Queen/Full model is that it fits a double or a queen-size mattress. Start with a double and upgrade to a queen mattress when it meets your needs.
