Make Any Room a Guest Room!

When it comes to a Sleep Chest the average person immediately pictures a comedy routine without even trying. Whether foiling Charlie Chaplin’s attempt at a good night’s sleep, swallowing Muppets, or pounding an unsuspecting criminal into the ground, the wall bed has proved to be great fodder for comedy for the past hundred years. Contrary to these popular images, modern wall beds are not dangerous, wiry or unpredictable. They are the perfect solution in a small space and come in many appealing aesthetically pleasing forms.

A Sleep Chest is one of the cousin of one of the most practical inventions of the last two centuries. Invented in the late 1800s by William L. Murphy, the Murphy Bed hit the height of it’s popularity in the 1920s and has since enjoyed a steady appreciation from those who live in cramped quarters. This practical hidden bed notion is also popular in firehouses where speed is a priority (and what could be faster than folding up your bed in a rush?). In the 21st century, wall beds are certainly regaining their notoriety due to growing families, and an ever-changing population. And don’t worry about it pounding Grandma into the floor like a nail; these stylish yet functional beds will feature either new spring lift technology or piston-lift mechanisms in order to create ease when lifting and no chance of springing back whatsoever.

Efficiency is an important value in this modern society and that just happens to be the biggest virtue of wall beds. The potential to streamline with these improved “sleep chests” is really very ingenious. The newer fold up beds are encased in beautifully stained wood in virtually every color to fit with every décor. They also fit every need and come in many disguises. Any spare room can now be converted into a home office/guest room…Or a cozy entertainment den/bedroom. They are still the best friend to a studio apartment and they are ultimately eco-friendly. In this economy, having a dual purpose room not only creates more much-needed space at a fraction of the cost of upsizing your home, but it also save you money and energy with one room sharing the duties of two.

Before you purchase your wall bed, ask yourself these questions:
1.    Does this style of wall bed fit in with my décor?
2.    Does this particular bed fit into my desired room well?
3.    Does this fulfill my space needs?

These wonderful space saving folding beds are truly the easiest way to create more space for a growing family or someone just starting out. They are functional, stylish, eco-friendly and ultimately a great conversation piece.
