UPDATE: Bring back the Murphy Bed!

I just received my latest copy of Dwell in the mail and low and behold, I spotted a murphy bed, scratch that, I mean a "wall bed" in it's pages. mobelform (intentional lowercase "m") features a variety of up to date, sleek options (prices not for the weak of heart). So if you are going for the local 900 square feet and below downtown condo option, a "wall bed" might just be right for you!

William, thanks for the information, I saw this on one of the DIY home shows, this type of bed in a office, just couldn't find the source.

Hi William, I've seen those around for quite a while now. A good use would be in a home office/guest room. My grandmother had something similar in her house. The bed could be slid through the wall onto the sleeping porch and then back into the bedroom. That was such a cool invention, I thought. Because I grew up sleeping at Grandma's on the sleeping porch, we now sleep on our porch when the weather is nice.

Hi William: I still have a condo in SF and it has a Murphy Bed ~~~ I think it is so cool! It saves a lot of space and it is great for guests. I am glad to see that they are making a comeback -- a lot better than those blow up beds! I thes some of the old ones have some bad springs, but the new ones are great --

I am all for those. I want one in the second bedroom here, which currently doubles as my sewing area and my husband's office.

Hi William,

Those beds would be great for a lot of people here in Uptown Charlotte. In order to live in Uptown, lots of people are sacrificing square footage for the convenience of city living.

Thanks,
