The Best Cabinet Beds in Canada

Last updated October 2026 by the Forward Furniture team

What are The Best Cabinet Beds in Canada?

Canada's big. We've got big forests, big mountains, and big cities. But inside our homes, especially in apartments, space is often tight. That's where cabinet beds come in handy. These modern, space-saving wonders are the perfect sleep solutions for those who want a good night's rest but also want to save on space. If you're in Canada and considering a cabinet bed for your place, here's everything you need to know!

Why Consider a Cabinet Bed?

Let's be honest. We all love having guests over, but what do you do when there's no guest room? That's where cabinet beds shine! They're real space savers. You can transform your living room into a bedroom in a jiffy. And when you wake up? Fold it back, and voila, it's like the bed was never there! But it's not just about space.

Canadian furniture trends show that many of us are opting for multi-functional furniture. And why not? They're not just practical but also super stylish. Whether you live in a small apartment or a big house, these cabinet beds fit right in. Not sure whether a cabinet bed or a full murphy bed suits you better? Our cabinet bed vs murphy bed guide breaks down the differences.

If you have never seen one open, start with how a cabinet bed works, with a video and the open and closed size of every model we sell.

What to Look for in a Cabinet Bed?

Alright, so you're sold on the idea. But what should you look for when buying the best cabinet beds in Canada? Here is a short checklist.

• Material. The Olivia is hardwood, the Stow is acacia wood and plywood, and the Nebula is engineered wood.
• Open size. Measure with the bed open, not only the cabinet. The Olivia queen needs about 83 inches of clear floor in front of it.
• Mattress. Ours all include one, and the models below run 5 or 6 inches thick. After all, a bed should be comfy, right?
• Design. Modern or traditional, there's something for everyone.
• Warranty. The Olivia has a lifetime warranty on the cabinet. Our other beds have our 3-year warranty.

Where Can You Get Them?

So you're ready to buy. But where should you look? There are many cabinet bed stores in Canada, both online and offline. Some might offer deals, while others might boast the best quality. It's wise to compare. Look for places that offer delivery in Canada, especially if you're shopping online.

Remember to also check the warranty. It's always good to have that extra peace of mind. And if you're on a budget, don't worry. There are affordable cabinet bed options out there that don't skimp on quality. You can browse our full Cabinet Beds collection to see everything in one place.

Making the Most of Your Cabinet Bed

Once you've got your new bed, there's still more to learn! Cabinet beds are more than just a place to sleep. Some models add storage too. The Midtown and the Bridger each have a drawer for extra pillows or blankets.

Setup can seem daunting, but many come with easy tips and guides. And if you're ever looking to switch things up, there are various bed cabinet combos to try out. It's all about being creative and making the most of your space.

Our Recommendations

1. The Olivia Murphy Cabinet Bed With Mattress

Our flagship cabinet bed and the clear #1 pick. The Olivia is more than just a place to rest. It's a testament to impeccable craftsmanship and thoughtful design, with elegant hardwood construction and a choice of Cherry, Black, or White finishes. Durability is backed by a lifetime warranty on the cabinet.

But there's more than just its looks and durability. Convenience is key here. This bed comes with an included memory foam mattress, ensuring you get comfort without the added hassle of finding a separate mattress that fits. The design is innovative too. Unlike many other beds in its category, the Olivia doesn't require wall attachment, giving you the freedom to place it wherever suits your space best. It goes from closed cabinet to ready-for-guests bed in about 30 seconds.

Concerned about the setup? Don't be. The bed has been designed with the user in mind, boasting easy-to-follow paper and video instructions for a hassle-free easy setup. And with our 90-day home trial, you can make sure it's the right fit in your space.

• Sizes: twin at $2,171.99, full at $2,294.99, queen at $2,417.99 and king at $2,663.99.

3. The Heidi Horizontal Murphy Bed

The Heidi horizontal murphy bed, with its pristine white finish, is not just a piece of furniture; it's a statement. Tailored for modern living spaces, it's the dream addition to bedrooms, guest rooms, or even home offices. Most murphy beds are vertical, but the Heidi opens sideways. It needs far less height, so it suits rooms with lower ceilings.

What truly sets it apart is its design, ensuring a hassle-free experience for users. Its secure piston mechanism on both sides ensures that you can smoothly and safely open or close the bed. A simple pull on the handle, a flip of the legs, and your bed is ready for use, with the mattress held firmly in place.

Its key features elevate it further. Unlike many other murphy beds, the Heidi allows for a standard mattress, removing the limitation of only using a tri-fold mattress. This offers more flexibility in mattress choice for users.

Convenience is evident with shipping from $49 to $249 depending on your order total across Canada. And if you're wary about making an online purchase, our 90-day home trial is there to ease your concerns. Additionally, setup woes are put to rest with its user-friendly, easy-to-follow paper instructions.

Prefer the classic fold-down wall bed look? The Wallie White Vertical Murphy Bed is the perfect space-saving solution for any home, apartment, or office.

Like the Heidi, the Wallie accepts a standard mattress, so you can pair it with the mattress you already love. It comes in Twin and Double sizes, ships across Canada for $49 to $249 depending on your order total, and is covered by our 3-year warranty and 90-day home trial.
