Whether you have a large home or a small apartment, when you want to maximize your space, a wallbed, also known as a Murphy bed, can transform your home effortlessly. By turning a guest room into a home office or a living room into a cozy bedroom in seconds, a Murphy bed can delight guests and inspire a whole new level of functional style.
At Wallbeds n More, we understand that picking the right queen wall bed, Murphy bed bookcase, or office bed goes beyond just the cabinet design. Luckily selecting the best mattress for Murphy bed owners is something our experts are great at assisting with. Let us show you how to make the more informed choice.
Tip #1. Know Your Mattress Height Limit
Most wallbeds from Wallbeds n More are engineered to accommodate mattresses up to 11 inches thick, which allows for comfort without compromising the bed’s functionality in any way. Exceeding this height may lead to difficulty folding the bed properly or stress the hinges over time.
Tip #2. Determine How the Bed Will Be Used
Ask yourself, is the Murphy bed primarily for occasional overnight guests, or will this office bed serve as a nightly sleep surface?
- For intermittent guest usage, a memory-foam or hybrid full-comfort mattress can be a hit.
- For everyday sleepers, you might want to consider a high-resilience foam or quality innerspring mattress that stands up to long-term regular use without sagging.
Knowing how often the bed will be used is a crucial factor when determining the best mattress for Murphy bed.
Tip #3. Consider Size Options: Twin, Full, or Queen?
A queen wall bed is a luxurious choice when space allows as it gives ample room for two adults and elevates the appearance of any room you place it in. But if your space is more compact or you don’t need to accommodate more than one sleeper, twin options may be more practical.
Tip #4. Choose the Right Material for You
For a smooth Murphy bed bookcase or office bed experience, look for a mattress that’s not overly rigid. Many customers prefer:
- Memory-foam or hybrid mattress with good compression.
- Latex for durability if you want something that’s resilient but still easily foldable.
Whatever you choose, always verify it fits within the 11-inch thickness limit. At any of our Wallbeds n More showrooms, you can browse mattresses and get exactly what you want so that you can be confident fits in your new Murphy bed furniture unit. Just let our associates know what firmness level you’re looking for and they’ll help you select the perfect mattress.

This “metro-style” Murphy bed features a minimalist aesthetic that integrates beautifully into modern spaces. Made from birch plywood with solid birch trim, its simple but elegant look helps it double as an office bed or statement piece
Consider The Long-Term Durability When Selecting the Best Mattress for Murphy Bed
Since Murphy beds are frequently opened and closed, investing in a mattress with long-term shape retention really pays off. Options with responsive foam or latex layers can help minimize permanent indentations. Also, our Wallbeds n More designs allows you to include pillows and bedding when the bed is folded up so that your queen wall bed is always guest-ready. Many of our add-on piers also offer plentiful storage for extra linens and pillows as well.
Sleek Style and Personalized Features
It’s not all about functionality, after all, your wallbed’s appearance matters too! Luckily, our wallbed Murphy bed units offer a wide range of finishes and customizable hardware such as integrated shelves, desks, or cabinets, that can match your current décor.
For example, you can add side piers with shelving or drawers, or a desk for use as an office or study area. You can even add an armoire to many wall bed models so that rooms needing extra closet space can benefit from additional storage.
Tips for Choosing Your Mattress
Remember to follow these basic steps when selecting your Murphy bed mattress:
- Measure carefully: Make sure your mattress thickness is no more than 11″ to ensure smooth folding.
- Consider usage: Guest usage allows softer options; everyday sleeping demands more bounce and resilience.
- Balance comfort and compactness: Memory foam suits compact folding while hybrids offer greater structure and comfort.
- Customize the look: Select a wallbed model that fits into your current aesthetic and functional needs, and then pair it with an ideal mattress from our Wallbeds n More showroom.
