A Murphy bed can be known by a variety of names such as a wall bed, pull down bed, or fold-down bed. It folds discretely against a wall or into a closet or cabinet. This space-saving innovation was invented by William Lawrence Murphy and he filed for his patents around 1900. He created the bed to give him more room to entertain. The legend has it he wanted extra space when he was dating an opera singer. (Source: Wikipedia)

Given the unique nature of a Murphy bed some require a custom mattress. If you have a bed with unusual dimensions then Custom Mattress Makers may be able to help. The key is to select the best brand and then the options that are right for you.

How do you select the right brand for your Murphy bed mattress?

There are several factors to take into account when selecting a company that matches your needs. You’ll want a brand that invests in excellent materials and has a keen understanding of what makes a great mattress. This includes high density foam and low gauge coils. These two factors help extend the life of your mattress saving you money. Also, you’ll want a mattress with a high coil count. This ensures that the mattress hugs the unique shape of your body. Mattress thickness is another factor to keep in mind. You want to select a mattress with a thickness that  can fit/fold inside the cabinet or storage area. Pay special attention to companies that offer a satisfaction guarantee and a product warranty. Custom Mattress Makers has all of this and more.

Here are our top 3 recommendations for a Murphy Bed replacement mattress:

• Cape Hybrid (6" medium):  Standard version features pocketed coils, 3/4" of medium-firm high-density upholstery padding, and a 3/4" medium quilted top fabric.
• Cape Gel Hybrid (6.25" medium-soft):  An upgrade from the standard Cape version, featuring a layer of gel-cooling memory foam in the comfort layer. The same coil system and top fabric are used. Slightly softer feel than the standard version.
• Cape Latex Hybrid (6.25" medium-firm):  The "top of the line" Cape model which includes a layer of natural, Talalay latex in the comfort layer. This yields a stronger, more breathable upholstery layer than the previous two. Truly a unique design at this thickness.

Our goal is that this mattress is so good you won’t want to fold it up. Have questions we haven’t covered here? Our custom mattress experts are on hand to answer anything about measuring, materials, or anything else.
