Top 5 Murphy Beds in Canada (2026 Buying Guide)

Murphy beds solve one problem better than any other furniture: they give you a real bed without giving up a whole room. But the category has quietly split in two. Traditional Murphy beds bolt to your wall and fold down. Cabinet beds sit on the floor like a dresser and fold out, with no drilling at all.

We are Forward Furniture, a Canadian furniture store with a showroom in Kelowna, BC, and we sell both styles every week. Here are the five best options you can actually buy in Canada in 2026, updated with current prices.

Quick picks

• Best overall: Olivia Queen Cabinet Bed, $2,099.99 with mattress included
• Best for smaller rooms: Olivia Double Cabinet Bed, $1,999.99
• Best horizontal wall bed: Heidi Horizontal Murphy Bed, from $1,424.99
• Best vertical wall bed: Wallie Vertical Murphy Bed, $1,899.99
• Best modern finish: Heidi Horizontal in Rustic Grey, $1,424.99

1. Olivia Queen Cabinet Bed with Memory Foam Mattress

The Olivia is our best seller across Canada, and the reason is simple: it is the only style on this list that requires zero wall mounting. Closed, it is a real hardwood cabinet about the size of a dresser (62.5" W x 24" D x 40" H). Open, it is a full queen bed with a 6" memory foam mattress included, ready in under 30 seconds. USB charging ports are built in, the frame is rated to 500 lbs, and it comes with a 3-year warranty and a 90-day home trial. Because it is freestanding, it works in rentals, condos and basements where a wall-mounted bed is not an option.

2. Olivia Double Cabinet Bed

Same hardwood construction, same 30-second fold-out, same included memory foam mattress, in a double size that suits smaller guest rooms and offices. If your room cannot spare the queen footprint when the bed is open, this is the pick.

3. Heidi Horizontal Murphy Wall Bed

The Heidi is a classic wall-mounted Murphy bed that folds down sideways, which makes it the right choice for rooms with low ceilings or wide walls, like basements and offices. Pull the handle, flip the legs down, and the bed lowers to the floor. It is wall-anchored, so plan for installation, and it is available in White and Brown finishes.

4. Wallie Vertical Murphy Wall Bed

The Wallie is the traditional vertical Murphy bed: it folds down from the wall foot-first, taking up minimal wall width. If you have normal ceiling height and want the classic wall-bed look, this is the one. Like all true Murphy beds it anchors to the wall, so it suits homeowners rather than renters.

5. Heidi Horizontal Murphy Bed in Rustic Grey

Same practical horizontal design as the white Heidi, in a rustic grey woodgrain that reads more modern farmhouse than furniture-store white. If the bed will live in a main-floor office or den where style matters, this finish hides fingerprints and fits contemporary decor.

Cabinet bed or wall-mounted Murphy bed: how to choose

The single biggest decision is whether you can, and want to, drill into your wall.

• Choose a cabinet bed (like the Olivia) if you rent, if you might move, if you want the mattress included, or if you simply do not want an installation project. It sets up in about an hour with no anchoring and opens in seconds.
• Choose a wall-mounted Murphy bed (like the Heidi or Wallie) if you own your home, want the slimmest possible closed profile, and are comfortable with a permanent installation into wall studs.

What size should you get?

Queen is the right call for most guest rooms: it sleeps two adults comfortably and keeps resale value. Choose a double when the room cannot fit a queen open (you need about 5 feet of clear floor in front of a cabinet bed), and a twin for kids' rooms or dens that host one guest at a time.

Murphy bed FAQ

Do Murphy beds need a special mattress?

Wall-mounted Murphy beds need a mattress within a specific thickness range, usually sold separately. Cabinet beds like the Olivia include a tri-fold memory foam mattress designed for the cabinet, so there is nothing extra to buy.

Can you use a Murphy bed every night?

Yes. A quality Murphy or cabinet bed with a proper mattress is built for daily use. The Olivia's hardwood frame is rated to 500 lbs.

How much do Murphy beds cost in Canada?

Realistic all-in pricing in 2026: cabinet beds run about $1,400 to $2,700 including the mattress. Wall-mounted Murphy beds run $1,400 to $2,000 for the frame, plus a mattress and installation, which commonly brings the total to $3,000 or more.
