Murphy Beds Austin TX | Vertical, Horizontal & Cabinetry | Madewell Woodworks

Murphy Beds

Built for howyou use your space.

Every Madewell bed is handcrafted in Austin from solid plywood no particleboard, no flat-pack. Whether you need a wall bed that disappears during the day or one that doubles as a workspace, we'll help you choose the right configuration for your room and how you live in it.

Not sure which bed is right for you?

The biggest decision comes down to your ceiling height and how the room is used. Vertical beds are the most common choice they fold up against a tall wall and take up minimal floor space. Horizontal beds work better in rooms with lower ceilings or when a queen-size footprint works better along a longer wall. Both can be configured with cabinetry, desks, and custom finishes.

Vertical Murphy bed Austin TX

Most Popular

Vertical Murphy Bed

Folds up against the wall lengthwise

The vertical configuration is the most common choice for a reason it tucks neatly into any room with standard 8-foot ceilings or higher, and it opens to a familiar sleeping position. Available in Twin, Full, and Queen, with optional desk, cabinets, and lighting upgrades.

Horizontal Murphy bed Austin TX

Low Ceiling Friendly

Horizontal Murphy Bed

Folds up against the wall widthwise

When ceiling height is limited or when a Queen footprint works better along a longer wall the horizontal configuration is the answer. It opens to a wider sleeping area and sits lower on the wall, making it a natural fit for rooms where a vertical bed simply won't work.

Custom cabinetry to match.

Most Murphy bed builds include flanking cabinetry bookcases, wardrobes, or storage towers that frame the bed and make the whole wall feel intentional. We also build standalone cabinetry for any room in the house, using the same materials and construction as our beds.
