Even if you didn’t grow up in a home with one, the Murphy bed is easily recognizable due to its peculiar nature and instructions for use,\u00a0not to mention depictions of it in popular entertainment. Murphy beds are featured in many comedy classics, from silent Charlie Chaplin films to Three Stooges scenes, and even more contemporary media like the film\u00a0Who Framed Roger Rabbit\u00a0<\/em>and the video game series The Sims<\/em>. You may even know what the Murphy bed is without realizing it, as\u00a0it goes by many names. It’s been called a fold-down bed, a hideaway bed, a pull-down bed, and a wall bed. However, the term Murphy bed is most commonly used in the US and most of North America.<\/p>\n The concept of\u00a0the contraption is simple: You pull or fold out your bed when needed, and hide it when it’s not in use.\u00a0This is achieved by storing the bed inconspicuously against the wall.\u00a0The Murphy bed is hinged on one side so it’s able to flip up and masquerade as a closet or cabinet—or be hidden in one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
