Murphy bed: why the price of the unit isn't the full picture

The listed price covers the cabinet, the mechanism and the bed base. Not the mattress, and not always the wall mounting. This is the first surprise for many buyers, who discover these costs when finalizing their purchase.

At La Maison Convertible, outside of promotions, the unit's budget breaks down roughly as follows depending on the configuration and dimensions:

Configuration Single Double
Simple Murphy bed€1,000 – €1,500€1,500 – €3,000
Bed + sofa—€3,000 – €4,000
Bed + desk~€2,500€3,500 – €5,000
Bed + table~€2,700€3,500 – €4,500
Bed + wardrobe~€2,800€3,500 – €4,500
Bed + bunk Murphy bedfrom €3,000€4,000 – €5,000

Configuration is the main budget lever. A simple Murphy bed remains the entry point in the range. As soon as the unit includes a second function — sofa, desk, fold-down table, wardrobe — you're paying for a second piece of furniture, its mechanism, and its integration: budget €1,000 to €2,000 more. The Murphy bed + bunk Murphy bed version is the highest in the catalog, since it stacks two complete beds with two independent mechanisms.

The mattress is the item people forget. It isn't included in the bed's price. If you keep your own, just check that it fits the thickness allowed by the cabinet. Otherwise, budget around €700 for a premium mattress, built for everyday sleeping. The cabinet accepts foam, latex or springs, as long as the thickness fits.

Vertical or horizontal opening doesn't change the price. It changes the footprint: the horizontal version takes up less room once open, handy under a window or in an attic space. Choose based on your wall, not your budget.

As for installation, the unit is mounted on a load-bearing wall — that's a matter of safety, and it's non-negotiable. Delivery with installation by our team is billed at €359 for a simple Murphy bed and €459 for a Murphy bed with a sofa, table, desk or swivel unit. Made-to-measure models take about 8 weeks to manufacture; in-stock models ship within 48 hours.

One thing to keep in mind before comparing: the figure given by this calculator is a broad estimate. Many configurations are quoted individually, and the final price depends on the options selected as well as the delivery location. Get your project quoted — the assessment is free.

Bimodal, the Murphy bed specialist store

A Murphy bed isn't bought like a sofa: you need to measure the wall, check that it's load-bearing, choose between vertical and horizontal opening, and fine-tune the cabinet depth to the centimeter. That's exactly what the Bimodal store specializes in, where the Murphy bed isn't just one department among others but the house specialty.

On-site, the models are displayed fully assembled: you open and close the mechanisms, test the mattress, and see exactly what space the unit takes up once unfolded. It's the only reliable way to decide between two configurations from a floor plan.

The Bimodal team supports the project from start to finish: surveying your constraints (dimensions, load-bearing wall, outlets and radiators), choosing the configuration and finishes from over 500 references, then a detailed quote that separates the unit, the mattress, delivery and installation. Nothing is left in a gray area: you know exactly what you're paying for before you sign.

The project assessment is free and with no obligation. Come with your room's measurements, or even just a photo of the wall: that's often enough to get started on the right footing.

Frequently asked questions

No. The slatted base is included, but the mattress is chosen and purchased separately. This is intentional: it lets you keep your own if it fits the cabinet's thickness. Otherwise, budget around €700 for a premium mattress, suited to everyday sleeping.
No, the price is the same. What changes is the footprint once the bed is open. The vertical version folds head-down and keeps a shallow depth; the horizontal version opens along the wall and extends less into the room. The choice comes down to your wall's layout, not the price.
Yes. The cabinet is mounted to the wall with brackets, and this mounting has to hold the weight of the unit and the sleeper. A load-bearing wall is essential for safety. It's the first thing to check before choosing a location.
Yes. Murphy beds arrive as a kit and are installed in three stages: mounting the cabinet to the wall, assembling the bed base, then fitting the mattress. Plan on having at least two people. If you'd rather delegate it, delivery with installation by our team costs €359 for a simple Murphy bed and €459 for a Murphy bed with a sofa, table, desk or swivel unit.
A Murphy bed with an integrated sofa runs between €3,000 and €4,000 depending on the design and dimensions. With a desk, a fold-down table or a wardrobe, expect a similar range, from €3,500 to €4,500. The Murphy bed + bunk Murphy bed version climbs toward €5,000, since it includes two beds and two mechanisms. The more functions you add to the unit, the higher the price climbs — it's a straightforward equation.
No. It gives a broad estimate, excluding promotions, based on the price ranges used by La Maison Convertible. Many Murphy beds are made to measure, so the final price depends on the configuration, finishes, options and delivery location.
