If you're searching for the best Murphy bed mattress, you’ve come to the right place. At Engineered Sleep, we manufacture high-quality mattresses that are not only built for everyday comfort but also perfectly suited for space-saving solutions like Murphy beds.
What Makes a Great Murphy Bed Mattress?
Murphy beds (also known as wall beds) are fantastic for maximizing space in guest rooms, small apartments, or home offices. But not every mattress is a good fit. Here’s what you need in a Murphy bed mattress:
Height/Thickness: Ideally under 12 inches — 10 inches is the sweet spot.
Structural Integrity: The mattress should be able to stand vertically without sagging or breaking down over time.
Comfort & Support: Since Murphy beds are often used for guests or part-time sleeping, the mattress needs to deliver great sleep while being low-profile.
All three of our recommended mattresses meet these criteria and more.
