wall bed

Hinged sleeping furniture

A wall bed is a bed hinged to fold up into a wall cabinet or closet when not in use, freeing floor space.

Also called a Murphy bed after its early-20th-century inventor.

Common in small apartments and studio spaces: The wall bed disappears during the day, turning the bedroom into a home office.
