How Much Does a Murphy Bed Cost?

Serving the Vancouver-Portland Metro Area

People often call us and ask how much a Murphy Bed costs. We would love for there to be a simple answer to this question, but the truth is that it’s a bit like asking how much a car costs. What are you in the market for? A brand new Mercedes or just something that will get you around town? The cost of a Murphy Bed can fall within a wide range, and in this article, we’ll go over the factors that can affect it.

If you’re looking for an all-inclusive quote for your Murphy Bed, with full installation included, simply give Portland Closet Company a call and tell us what you’re looking for. We’ll be happy to provide a detailed estimate.

For now, let’s dive into the factors that determine the price of a wall bed or Murphy Bed.

Which Factors Affect the Price of Your Murphy Bed?

When you buy your Murphy Bed, you’ll have a variety of options to choose from, which can affect the price you pay. Think about these factors and which are most important to you. Be sure to also shop around! Prices can vary considerably depending on the manufacturer/installer you choose.

At Portland Closet Company, we always strive to give you the best price for the level of outstanding craftsmanship and service we provide. If you’d like an all-inclusive quote to think about, just give us a call and tell us about what you’re looking for:

• Size: Our wall bed systems are built to accommodate standard mattress sizes (Twin, Full, Queen), so you don’t have to compromise on space and comfort. Larger beds cost more than smaller models.
• Build Quality: If you find a Murphy Bed or wall bed that costs significantly less than similar products, there may be a good reason for that. Excellent build quality is essential for safety and long-term durability.
• Design: You can design the perfect Murphy Bed for your space, whether that means you’d like it to look like a handsome armoire, a custom bookcase, or a sleek, minimalist cabinet. You can choose from a wide range of finishes and hardware to match your home’s style. These design options may cause some variation in pricing.
• Professional Service and Installation: We don’t recommend attempting to install your Murphy Bed yourself, unless you feel highly confident in your handy skills. For best performance and long-term durability, professional installation makes a big difference. Some companies offer installation as an add-on, but at Portland Closet Company, white-glove installation service is included. Expert installation guarantees it is assembled and secured correctly for your peace of mind.
• Extra Features: This is a big one, which we’ll cover in greater detail in the next section. From integrated storage and desks to built-in lighting, the right features add immense functionality – and increase the overall price.

Which Murphy Bed Features Do You Need?

Now, let’s go over specific features to customize your Murphy Bed even more. Here are some of the most popular features that we offer:

• Lifting Mechanism: Would you prefer the simplicity of a spring mechanism, or a state-of-the-art piston mechanism that’s counter-balanced to your mattress weight?
• Flip-Up Desk: This convenient feature adds a work surface perfect for a laptop or homework, creating a functional desk that folds away with the bed.
• Side Cabinets, Shelving and Storage: Side cabinets can be configured for any need, accommodating wardrobe storage, bookshelves, display collections, or linens. They can be customized with any combination of drawers, doors, and shelving.
• Home Office Integration: A complete home office system can be designed around a wall bed, providing a seamless look for your desk, file drawers, and storage.
• Power Grommets: These essential add-ons provide built-in outlets and USB charging ports, eliminating the need to fish cords behind the unit.
• Pull-Out Nightstand: What appears to be a simple drawer front pulls out to become a convenient nightstand, providing a resting place for the things you like to keep beside you while you sleep.
• LED Lighting: Add energy-efficient lighting right where you need it. Options include reading lights on one or both sides of the bed or accent lighting in side cabinets to showcase your displays.
• Flexible Lights with USB Chargers: These optional reading lights offer focused illumination and have built-in USB chargers, providing extra convenience for you or your guests.
