Where to Buy a Murphy Bed

When it comes to where to buy a Murphy bed, popular big-box stores, such as Costo and Walmart, as well as online retailers like Amazon and Wayfair often come up. They offer several types of wall beds, ranging in size, orientation, and price point. There are also several other online retailers that sell everything from $400 barebones DIY Murphy bed kits to high-ticket customizable units that can clock in at $6,000.   

Let’s clear up a common misconception:

A quick internet search for Murphy beds may give the impression that the Swedish furniture company Ikea offers a choice of Murphy beds. They do not. There are internet “hacks” out there that describe how to use an IKEA bed to DIY a Murphy bed. The company, however, doesn’t have a comprehensive product line of ready-to-install Murphy beds.   

You can try a few brick-and-mortar showrooms and department stores before you buy. However, they are typically not commonly found chains and tend to be regionally specific storefronts. 

You can still buy the bed from your trusted online store that sells mattresses and bedroom accessories. When you shop online, maximize the website's features and read product descriptions and reviews for a better online shopping experience.

The Lori Bed Difference   

There is also a sweet middle where affordability and quality meet the wants and needs of most buyers. Lori Beds stands apart from other Murphy bed models. The prime difference is in the design. In fact, we make it easy to decide where to buy a Murphy bed!

While traditional Murphy beds use metal spring mechanisms, our modern, minimalist YouLift Murphy Bed is designed without a lifting mechanism. The bed platform lifts and lowers using the strength of you and a partner.

Getting rid of the old-school metal springs not only simplifies the design but also saves money on the unneeded lifting mechanism. The YouLift Bed costs around $1,899 and can be conveniently bought online at Lori Beds.
