Choosing the Best Mattress for Your Murphy Wall Bed

Jul 10

When it comes to Murphy wall beds, the bed frame’s design often steals the spotlight—but the right mattress can make or break comfort and functionality. Whether you’re outfitting a guest room or a flexible studio space, choosing the perfect mattress ensures that your wall bed is as restful as it is space-saving. Here's how to pick wisely.

 

Standard Compatibility: No Special Mattress Needed

Good news: standard mattresses up to around 10 inches thick work great with most Murphy wall beds. Your mattress lies flat on a supportive platform, secured by elastic straps—so there’s no need for unusually thin or custom designs

 

What Mattress Type Suits You Best?

Memory Foam

  • Adapts to your body shape for pressure relief

  • Great for side sleepers and those with back or joint pain

  • Most are hypoallergenic and motion-absorbing

  • Consider cooling gel-infused foam if you sleep hot 

Gel Memory Foam

  • Same great contouring plus added cooling

  • Ideal for warm sleepers or those who share a bed

  • May feel firmer at first and have mild off‑gassing 

Hybrid (Foam + Coils)

  • Delivers the best of both worlds: contouring comfort and springy support

  • Good choice for couples or mixed sleeping preferences

  • Medium-firm feel, though not as plush or ultra-firm as other types 

Support Foam

  • Dense, firm foam to support the spine—great if you prefer a firmer sleep surface or suffer from back pain

  • Minimal motion transfer

  • May not be soft enough for side sleepers 

Innerspring

  • Classic spring-based feel, with good airflow and cooler sleep

  • Firm and bouncy, ideal for hot sleepers

  • Less contouring, which might not suit those needing pressure relief

 

Why It Matters

  • The right mattress enhances sleep duration and quality in multifunctional spaces.

  • Non-compatible mattresses can damage the folding mechanism or feel awkward when the bed folds up.

  • Proper airflow and support ensure your mattress stays in great shape—night after night.
