$2,000 for the Bed. $800 for the Contractor. $500 for a Mattress Upgrade. $300 for Wall Repair. That’s a Murphy Bed.
The Olivia is $2,099, everything included, no contractor, no wall damage. Here’s the full breakdown.
“We rent so a murphy bed was never an option. This was the perfect solution, no holes in the walls.”
You Probably Looked Into a Murphy Bed. Everyone Does. Then Reality Hits.
A bed that folds into the wall, disappears when you don’t need it, looks built-in. The concept is smart. It’s the obvious solution. Then you start actually researching it.
First, you need a contractor. Not optional, the unit bolts into your wall studs with industrial hardware. That’s $500 to $800 just for the install, assuming the contractor shows up on time and the parts aren’t missing from the box. Then you discover the included mattress is a thin 6-inch foam pad that bottoms out under adult weight, so you’re spending another $300 to $600 on a real mattress. Then there’s the baseboard removal, the wall damage, the touch-up painting. By the time a murphy bed is actually usable, you’ve spent $3,000 to $4,000+ and lost a weekend.
And if you rent? Your landlord says no before you finish the sentence. If you move? The murphy bed stays behind. You’re leaving a $4,000 fixture and starting from scratch.
“Took 9 hours to build. The pistons were missing from the box. The bed wasn’t ready when our guests arrived that weekend.”
“Had to hire installers who only got halfway through before they stopped because parts were missing. Total nightmare, and we were out $400 just for the labour.”
Where Your $4,000+ Actually Goes
And that’s the baseline. Premium units in major cities regularly push past $4,000 with extended contractor visits and structural reinforcement.

Murphy beds do save slightly more floor space when closed because they fold flat against the wall. The Olivia is freestanding with a 24” cabinet depth. It wins everywhere else.

Who’s Buying This?
Murphy beds require wall drilling. Your landlord says no. The Olivia is freestanding, goes wherever you want, and comes with you when you move.
You use the room 300 days a year as an office and need a guest bed for 20. The Olivia disappears when you don’t need it.
Your parents are visiting more. An air mattress on the floor isn’t an option anymore. This is a real bed at a real height.

From cabinet to queen bed in under 30 seconds.
A Real Mattress, Not a Thin Pad
Every murphy bed buyer we’ve talked to eventually replaced the included mattress. It’s always a thin 6-inch foam pad that bottoms out under adult weight, and it’s always sold separately for $300 to $500 on top of what you already paid. Your guests try to be polite about it, but they’re not sleeping well and you can tell by how they move the next morning.
The Olivia comes with a premium queen memory foam mattress ($450 value) already inside. Multiple foam layers, bamboo cover, proper edge support. Guests consistently say they didn’t realize it was a fold-out bed.
