How To Build a Murphy Bed
Space Saving Beds – What is the Difference between Murphy Beds, Platform Beds, and Bunk Beds?
Murphy Beds:
There are many advantages of
Murphy beds or wall beds. First off, these beds save lots of space.
A Murphy bed folds up into a wall or cabinet of some sort which is on
the wall. These beds are great for visitors as they can be out of the
way nearly every day of your life, but when you have guests, they can
fold down and provide a bed to sleep on. Typically, Murphy beds do not
have box springs; instead they lie on a solid wooden platform. These
wall beds are made in just about every bed size imaginable. They cost
anywhere from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Or
you can build your own with some
Murphy bed plans.
Platform Beds:
Unlike a Murphy Bed, a platform bed is designed for your bedroom that
might lack space. There are several advantages of a platform bed. First
of all, they allow you to get rid of your Chester drawers or your
dresser in your room. These space
saving beds are designed in a few different ways. Some of these
platform beds are designed to go against your wall. Others are designed
to be away from the wall. Typically, these platform beds have one, two,
or three rows of drawers. Some platform beds are designed with a box
spring, however, like Murphy beds, most do not have box springs. You can
buy a platform bed for a few hundred dollars to well over a thousand
dollars or you can get some platform bed plans and build your own.
Bunk Beds:
Like a platform bed, a bunk bed is a space saving bed that is typically
more permanently used. Bunk beds are very popular in families where
children have to share a bedroom. These bed’s save lots of space since
they go against a wall, or if you have an L shaped bunk bed, they fit
into the corner of the room. There is the top bunk and the bottom bunk,
and many times the top bunk is right above the bottom bunk. These beds
allow two children to share a room and still have room left for a play
area. If you are really crammed for space, you could have four children
and two bunk beds in one room. You can find some inexpensive bunk beds
at IKEA or you can get some bunk bed plans and do it yourself to make
your own.
