The Difference Between a Wall Bed, Murphy Bed and Zoom Bed

Murphy beds are a great way to maximize the function in any room. There are so many options available on the market today, it can be difficult to determine the best model for your home. When it comes to comparing Wall Beds, Murphy Beds and Zoom Beds, Zoom-Room has got you covered!

What is the Difference Between a Wall Bed and a Murphy Bed?

Essentially, wall beds and Murphy beds are so similar - a mattress enclosed within a cabinet that can be lowered off the wall when needed and stored away when it's not in use.

The main difference between a Wall Bed and a Murphy Bed is their ‘hardware’. A ‘Bi-fold’ style is used more in all beds compared to the ‘panel’ style used in Murphy beds. The European paneled style is preferred by many as the entire bed face comes down in one piece unlike the ‘Bi-fold’ style.

Why choose a Murphy Bed?

Choosing a Murphy Bed will be a stunning enhancement to any small space. A traditional Murphy Bed uses a set of springs which are attached to the sides of the bed, helping you to lift and lower the bed.

More specifically, Italian Murphy Beds are compact and easy to use, with a slatted frame. At Zoom-Room, our Murphy Beds are a little different from your average Murphy Bed design. The Italian styled Murphy Beds come with a beechwood slatted frame supported by rubber gaskets - this is a typical feature in Europe to help provide the ultimate comfort.

There are a number of Murphy Beds to choose from: Flat, Tak, Leo and Leri. Each one provides a stylish and stunning enhancement to any small space. The fantastic engineering allows you to use minimum effort and little space for both a convenient and comfortable guest room.
