Garald Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I'm about to buy a Murphy bed. It's for my parents, who are well into their seventies, and will visit for several weeks at a time - so it better be comfortable. After trying out things in four showrooms, I settled for a choice that seemed to be a quality product (Italian, with a hydraulic system) and reasonably priced compared to the others - It comes with 5 years of warranty (they claim it's 10, but it's steeply graded after the 5th year) and I got 100eur off the price above. There's a reasonable charge for delivery including installation. The mattress is not included, but it's compatible with a good mattress I've found at IKEA. Yes, I know "Horizontal Lucy" sounds like some sort of famous 18th-century lady of the night, but that's not the issue. Apparently, one can find much less expensive things online - such as the following, which has reasonably good reviews on Amazon (and a few very bad ones): https://smartbett.eu/murphy_beds/murphy_bed_140x200h_white So, what is a reasonable price for a good Murphy bed, really? And how can I tell whether a Murphy bed is really good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldkettle Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 We bought one from Costco (Coventry Kingsize Wallbed) several years ago for exactly the same reason, although we normally used it ourselves and left our own to my parents. Ours is vertical, hydraulic as well, easy to use. We paid £1500. Kingsize is still slightly tight. It is also higher than our bed. If there is any way, try it before you buy, i.e. find one on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolidState Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Hi, Has anyone managed to get a reasonably priced Murthy door (below 1K price tag) in the UK? It seems to be an ideal space-saving solution. I also wanted to check if the bed size can be sufficient for two? And will the standard-size mattress (from John Lewis etc.) fit if I ever change the original mattress? Edited May 22, 2023 by SolidState Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
