If you have ever thought you’d like to be the owner of a Murphy Bed, but never thought it would be possible — you are not alone. Lots of us are on that bandwagon. For most of us, the issue at hand is that we don’t think we can afford a Murphy Bed or we don’t think we can install a Murphy Bed on our own. Those two reasons no longer have to stop you from getting what you want. With these Chest Beds, you have a more affordable option and you don’t even need to install it at all!
What Is A Chest Bed?
Chest Beds (sometimes called Cabinet Murphy Beds) are a perfect addition to any room that could benefit from more space. Talk about innovative! A bed that folds into a stylish chest will help you keep your room neat and attractive. The top of the cabinet is always stationary so you can feel free to fill it up with anything that you would like to have on display. It also includes a big drawer that is available for storage when the bed is open and when it is closed. Most people use that as a place to keep the pillows and blankets that will be used while sleeping on the Chest Bed. It is also a convenient place for visiting guests to keep their personal items.
No Installation Required!
Perhaps, the best part about the Chest Bed is that it is freestanding. What does this mean? That it doesn’t have to be anchored to the floor or wall or anything. It stays in place and is fully supported in the open and the closed position. This gives you nearly endless options of what to do with it. Put your Chest Bed in front of a window. Put your chest bed under the TV that is mounted to the wall. You can put your Chest Bed anywhere!
Then if you want, you can easily move it to the other side of the room. Or the other side of your home. Or the other side of the country. This is one reason a Chest Bed is the perfect piece of furniture for anyone who is renting because you generally don’t have the option to drill into the wall or floor. Your Chest Bed will take a small amount of assembly, but it is a piece of cake compared to your typical Murphy Beds. When your Chest Bed is delivered, you’ll find a set of easy to follow instructions that will take you less than 10 steps to complete.
The Mattress
You can have a great bed and that is all well and good, but if the mattress is not up to par — it won’t matter what kids of bed you have. Add this to the list of reasons that a Chest Bed is so popular. It comes with a 6” gel-infused memory foam mattress that was designed with comfort and durability in mind. They are designed in a way that the seams will mold together so you’ll never know they are there! It is firm and supportive. There’s no doubt that you will be more than comfortable. It’s also the perfect size (standard queen or about 60” wide and 80” long) for you to add a mattress topper if you choose.
Focus On Quality
If you are going to makes an investment into something like a Chest Bed, you are going to want to make sure you choose something that is high-quality and will stand the test of time. It is not rare to find a wide range of quality in these pieces of furniture. This should be one of your biggest considerations. Choosing a company that takes pride in being an industry leader in quality and durability (and customer service) will save you from a lot of potential headaches down the road.
