Murphy beds
Vertical storage sleepers
A Murphy bed is a bed that folds up into a wall or cabinet when not in use, freeing floor space in small apartments or multipurpose rooms.
Named after inventor William Murphy, who patented the design in the early 1900s.
The mechanism typically uses counterbalanced springs or pistons: The studio apartment had a Murphy bed that disappeared into the closet.
