Sarah E. Goode received a patent in 1885 for a cabinent bed. It folded /rolled , without "breaking" into a functional roll top desk. 25 years before the Murphy bed.

Nice review, thanks. I like that you can move it to a different wall, other room, vs a Murphy bed that would be a struggle to move. I thought it looked like a double, but the website says the width of the unit is 64” and 60” is a Queen so 🤷♀️ . One downside for Canadians is it doesn’t deliver here - still cool though 🇨🇦
Yeah moving it around within a room would be pretty easy. From room to room a little more tough since I think it’s bigger than the door opening. But it would be easier than something full size for sure!
I’ve had two Murphy beds so love them. One in my own apt and one as a guest bed in lr. My good friends put me up regularly and saved me buttloads of money, as I was commuting to take an out of town 6 week course. However, the box while very stylish and convenient has two drawbacks. 1. No way to secure the movable bench part like ties or latches, 2) entirely too heavy and cumbersome mattress. Works well for your needs though and good for you. Thanks🙏🏻🧐😉
OMG! That is so cool! I like it as it doesn’t take up as much space a Murphy Bed. The only thing that I don’t care for is the end box not being latched down. Other than that very cool!
We are loving it so far. Agree it’s pricey but with all of my camera stuff in the office and a low ceiling fan it’s hard for a typical drop down Murphy bed. Also the 6in mattress + 10 year warranty is a great note over the cheaper ones.
I went to a store here in FL that sells these types of beds. They had a nice variety of size and style options. I will be considering one since I’m downsizing soon. Like you, I’ll have one room that will be multi-purpose so making the best use of the space is essential.
@@glasshalffull2930 I’ve been trying to find it and haven’t had any luck. It was a couple of years ago. I don’t remember the name of the store. I definitely know it was on Route 19 in either Pasco or Hernando County. I’m going to keep looking for myself as well. If I come across it I will let you know.
TH-cam recommended this because I’m a sucker for guys’ bare feet (the thumbnail pic lol) but I am very curious about murphy beds now. I have a small guest room that needs a way to save space and provide a bed for sleepovers. Thanks for the great detailed demo. He has nice feet btw. 😊
It may be more expensive, but a horizontal Murphy desk bed would be more convenient. You could work on the desk all day, then simply pull down the (already made) bed for guests. The desk surface swivels to become a base at the foot of the bed without disturbing your layout. Downside: one side of the bed would be against the wall.
Yeah that is definitely another option to consider! I will say, for the most part, I am happy with how the room turned out. The only thing better for my case would be having a dedicated guest bedroom ha.
I have a queen size one from the same company and it works perfectly in my 1 bedroom apartment……I can leave it open when guests are here and still use the living room furniture
I don’t have a video on it. I love it, it is “UPLIFT Standing Desk (V2) Desktop Style with Saman 1.5" Butcher Block size 72x30”. It’s wasn’t cheap, but I love it. I spend a lot of time at it. I would suggest though, while the wood looks really nice on mine, it is very soft, something as simple as dropping a pen 1ft high will leave a pen tip mark on the desk if it hits right. They have tons of wood options. Something to be mindful of.
@bobmirror7164 Depends on how long you wanna have guests. I have a futon, and it's great , guests end up only staying a couple of days ( I've even had a few leave early)👍
At nearly $2k it’s pretty expensive. Sofa beds are usually terrible, futons are going to depend largely on the quality of the frame. I regret getting rid of my full size futon and frame.
This is really a “to each their own case”. I agree a wall mount would be easier to drop down and could get an even more comfy mattress. For me I need this low footprint. I have the wall behind it with green screen and the rest of the walls sound proofed for filming my hiking channel and office space for the day job. Also with the room being small a drop down might hit my ceiling fan. This allows me to have my creative office space. I still have to work around it a bit, but not as difficult as it would be with a drop down. It’s a great question. Would love to hear others opinions on this as well. 👍🏻
@@DanReviewsStuff Very good response. Makes perfect sense. I can't do a wall-bed in my apartment because I have windows or doors on every wall. (One of the reasons I'm so critical of the tendency to stick too many windows in tiny houses.) I have a convertible sofa with a 3 section fold out mattress that I liked a lot. Ideally, You can replace just the sections that bear most of your weight as needed. One size does not fit all.
@@DanReviewsStuff I have been sleeping on a 32 inch wide piece of memory foam girl friend picked up along side the road, on bedroom floor in front of the window air-conditioner. Oh well it works fine. Put my full sized mattress and box springs up against the wall for the cats to climb on it. It is a win win.
On Seinfeld, George makes a makes a bed under his desk at work so he can sleep he put a alarm under it and pillow. That's why I used the reference as a joke.😝😝😝
The only problem with the classic wall Murphy Bed is the frame has to be bolted into the wall or floor, and of you live in an apartment, that's a no-go.
Yeah they usually put it in the driveway. If you are nice and have a clear path they will put it in your garage although not guaranteed. I took the pieces to the room one by one and it was manageable. If you plan the delivery can unbox it right away and bring into the house.
This bed looks like a PIA. My Murphy bed lifts up flat onto the wall. I can put the sheets on the bed, the pillows in it and just lift the bed onto the wall. If I wanted, I could decorate it. But, I got the face that looks like woodwork. And it doesn’t stick out into the room more than 18 inches. But you do you.
I’m not sure. Looked at the listing and could not find any information. Reached out to their support as well. If they get back to me on this will let you know!
Nice review on your part, however; I think the product will be a failure. The cabinetry is substandard looking at this price point and the cabinet is not attractive in my opinion. Maybe it looks better in person. It’s a no for me.
I agree, It’s not for everyone. It has been really solid to date and also comes with 10 year warranty. Gives some peace of mind on if it will last or not. Thanks for your feedback. 😀
There is an affiliate link if in the description if you want to check the bed out further. It’s $1,900 currently which is more than most like this. But you are getting stronger construction materials, thicker mattress (comfort) and a 10yr warranty.
Why not get either a regular Murphy bed or a sofa bed? With a sofa bed, you have furniture that you can sit on every day. That cube just takes up valuable floor space. The other option of a Murphy bed is easier to use. None of the “assembly “ work every time you need to use it. The cube gets a thumbs down from me.
A regular one won’t work for me because of what I need to use the room for. It is also a small room and might hit ceiling fan. For a sofa bed I personally haven’t slept on a comfortable one so I didn’t really consider searching for one. The cube isn’t for every one but works great for me. I’m not worried about a few minutes to put it together since I only use it every other month or so. Thanks for your feedback! 😀
See your POV , but I have similar reqs and limitations as Dan, so this was a very informative video. I’ll consider this for a future purchase for a small room with odd angles and need to be able to keep the floor space clear for workouts.
GET RID OF THE FRAME. KEEP THE TRI FOLD AND DURING THE DAY, IT CAN BE USED AS COUCH AND AT NIGHT, FOLD IT OUT INTO A BED. THAT FRAME MAKES IT COMPLICATED AND WHEN I SEE THINGS LIKE THIS, I THINK OF MY DISABILITY.
Too much work - queen size murphy bed in my home office - sticks off the wall 12" when closed, and opens easily. Mattress is made and ready to go. - ill pass on this also.

Thank you for the feedback! 👍
Cool! This was suggested after searching for daybeds in my browser I guess 😹. I’m not mad about it 😁. Bout time the Murphy gets an upgrade!

Hi Dan, I got fed your video by the algorithm somewhat randomly, but I'm glad I did.

Nice review. Looking for somethings like that for a spare room, as I guess most of the commenters are... LOL
Pam here…hhmmm I would like to get the matress all by itself, and if they come in twin or king sizes?
When folded and against the wall, what are the dimensions of the cabinet?
At nearly $2k it’s pretty expensive. Sofa beds are usually terrible, futons are going to depend largely on the quality of the frame. I regret getting rid of my full size futon and frame.
Definitely on the pricey side. Happy with my purchase though and how it works for my space.

@@cck6740 A mattress topper that is like a fitted sheet would probably fix that. But then again a regular fitted sheet would fix that.

That is another great consideration!
I have a Murphy bed the same size and mine spats so much easier to open
I have one. In dark wood. I also have a murphy bed.
Awesome! Hope do you like it?
I have one exactly like that
How do you like it?
I think I will take a Japanese style futon that you can just roll up and put in a closet.
That another great option!
I prefer a sofa bed, because then you have a sofa to sit on when the bed isn’t in use
A sofa bed would be far easier & believe it or not, some are pretty comfortable.
I have not really been on a comfy sofa bed. Any recommendations?
Not a one person job. I don't have a garage. No idea where the delivery person would put a pallet of supplies. In my driveway? Front lawn?
Yeah they usually put it in the driveway. If you are nice and have a clear path they will put it in your garage although not guaranteed. I took the pieces to the room one by one and it was manageable. If you plan the delivery can unbox it right away and bring into the house.
What size was it? A double? Or a queen?
This is a queen!

A traditional Murphy bed is easier to work with
Yeah, but a traditional one does not work for my case. So this is a great alternative!
I have an upright Murphy bed. I pull it down and it is ready to use in a couple of seconds. Your version looks like a nightmare of hard work. Pass.
It’s not crazy difficult but I agree it’s more effort. The upright does not work for me and my setup unfortunately!
Not for daily use.
2 minutes with explanation time and a little adjusting of the mattress is your “nightmare”?
Not every room can accommodate an upright. I love this idea!
Nightmare???😂😂😂
Old person in tiny house. Wouldn’t buy to hard to put together every night.
