Twin Size Murphy Beds

A twin-size Murphy bed (also called a wall bed twin) is a smart, compact bed that tucks into a cabinet or stores upright against the wall when not in use. Lori Beds offers both vertical and horizontal configurations. Whether you need a vertical twin for a narrow wall or a horizontal Murphy bed for rooms with low ceilings, there’s a twin-size Murphy bed designed to fit your layout and lifestyle.

FAQs

Q: What's the difference between vertical and horizontal twin Murphy beds?

A: Vertical twin Murphy beds store upright with the head of the mattress against the wall. They are the perfect solution when wall height is available, but floor width is limited. Horizontal Murphy beds are designed so the mattress’s long side rests against the wall and are best for rooms with lower ceilings or when you prefer the bed positioned beneath a window. Both options save more room but suit different room layouts and ceiling heights.

Q: What are the dimensions of a twin Murphy bed?

A: Cabinet and wall bed frame dimensions vary by model (cabinet width, depth when stored, and recommended mattress thickness). Always check the product’s technical specs for exact measurements and recommended mattress thickness to ensure a comfortable sleep and proper fit.

Q: Can I install a twin Murphy bed without wall damage?
