Murphy beds have changed they're not the same fold up into the wall beds you may remember from years ago. That's certainly a good reason to consider sleeping accommodations that can be placed out of the way during most of the year.

Would you prefer that your bed hide behind a fold up table or desk work area. They can be unobtrusive, or they can make a statement as part of your decor. If you have overnight guests regularly, or if you have a small apartment or space that prevents you from having a traditional bed, you'll want to consider a Murphy bed. Would you like to have your bed disappear as part of a wall of bookcases.

Today there are many modern Murphy bed models to choose from. Modern fold up beds are available now in many configurations, including twin, full, queen and king size models. Most people consider a fold up bed, or wall bed as it is also known, because of a lack of space, or because they don't want to devote an entire room for guests who may visit only a few nights a year.

Did you know that the average American household has overnight visitors 11 days per year.
