Upgrades & Options
Make it yours,down to every detail.
Choosing the right murphy bed options for your space doesn't have to be overwhelming. Our Austin design team works with you one-on-one to select the upgrades that make the most sense for how you'll actually use the room. Whether you're outfitting a dedicated home office, a guest room that doubles as a gym, or a studio apartment, we'll help you prioritize the features that deliver the most value for your budget. From deeper headboards to built-in lighting, folding desks, and custom paint — every Madewell build can be configured exactly to your space and how you live in it.
Headboard Depth
Choose your headboard.
All three depths use the same quality construction. The main difference is how much the bed projects from the wall when open — and what's inside the headboard.
Adding a deeper headboard increases bed projection from the wall when open.
Included
Standard 16"
$0
Angled headboard included with all standard builds. Clean, minimal, and practical.
Most Popular
Mid Depth 18"
$275
Integrated fixed shelf inside the bed frame — perfect for a phone or drink. Includes a 2" grommet with built-in power outlet and USB-C charging ports.
Premium
Ultra Deep 20"
$400
Flip-up top storage for pillows and blankets. Shaker-trimmed front with soft-close hinges. The most functional headboard option we offer.
Premium Upgrades
Built-in features, not afterthoughts.
Every upgrade is installed during the build — not retrofitted. That means cleaner finishes, better integration, and a result that looks intentional.
01
Interior Bed Lighting
$150
Three warm LED lights installed in the upper bed cabinet. Remote controlled with dimming and sleep timer functions. An additional $95 applies if upper cabinets are ordered alongside the main bed.
02
Custom Paint Selection
$350
White is our standard finish — but you're not limited to it. Choose any active color from any manufacturer, as long as there's a color chip available. We'll match it through Benjamin Moore and professionally spray the entire unit.
03
Custom Front Profile
$150+
Velar is our default — clean, modern, and versatile. For something more distinctive, explore our full range of signature profiles. From Shaker and Craftsman to Crestview and Enfield, each adds its own character to the build.
04
Folding Desk
$475
A functional workspace up to 40" wide, mounted directly to the front of the Murphy bed. Includes locking support legs for stability and safety. Available on all vertical Twin, Full, and Queen sizes.
05
13" Mattress Legs
$175
Increases the maximum mattress depth from 12" to 13", giving you more flexibility if you prefer a plusher feel. Maintains the same sturdy support and sleek profile as the standard leg configuration.
06
Murphy Bed Lock
$75+
A keyed lock that prevents accidental opening — useful in homes with young children or in rental units. Can be installed on either side of the bed frame and integrates cleanly even when flanked by cabinetry.
