Closet Murphy beds are a great way to maximize space in small homes or apartments. They can be folded up against the wall, freeing up floor space for other uses.
The average Murphy bed takes up about 30 square feet of floor space when folded up, which is roughly the size of a small room. This can be a huge advantage in tight spaces.
By using a Murphy bed, you can turn a closet into a comfortable sleeping space without sacrificing any other room's functionality. This is especially useful for guest rooms or home offices.

Space and Measurement
To fit a Murphy bed in a closet, you'll need to consider the dimensions of the bed and the closet. A Murphy bed can fit into a closet with dimensions equal to the length, width, and depth of the bed when it's folded up.
For a vertical queen-sized Murphy bed, the closet must be at least 64 inches wide and 83 inches tall. This will provide enough space for the bed to fold up and for storage.

How to Size
To size a closet for a Murphy bed, you need to consider the minimum dimensions required for the bed to fit comfortably. For a queen-sized Murphy bed, the closet must be at least 64 inches wide and 83 inches tall.
A standard closet door is 80 inches wide, so if you're planning to install a queen-sized Murphy bed, you'll need to consider closet doors that are taller than normal. This is because a standard queen-sized mattress is 84 inches long.
To account for the total width of a Murphy bed with a side closet, simply add together the widths of the side cabinets and the Murphy bed frame. For example, if you're using a Murphy bed frame that's 64 inches wide and side closets that are 24 inches wide each, the total width would be 112 inches.
