Is a Murphy bed as comfortable as a traditional bed?

Not all Murphy beds are created equal. Resource Furniture is proud to be the exclusive North American distributor of Clei Italian wall beds. In production since 1963, these sophisticated systems have undergone six decades of research and development, ensuring they are the most user-friendly, safe, and stylish wall beds on the market.

What is the longevity of a wall bed?

Our wall bed systems are constructed using the highest quality of materials. We hand-selected every product in our collection to ensure that they are nothing short of spectacular. For over 20 years we've been installing wall beds, with many never needing any maintenance. All of our wall bed systems are backed with a lifetime warranty, ensuring you never have to worry about your bed not functioning perfectly. Created modularly, parts can be replaced quickly and easily without the need to install an entirely new bed, speeding up the maintenance process. 

Will a wall bed really save that much space?

Looking to add another room to your home? Wall beds can truly make it feel like your space has doubled. Beds take up a lot of space in our homes for something that is only used for ~8 hours a day. A queen bed takes up 33 square feet of space in a bedroom, and a wall bed gives you back that space to use during the day. Utilizing a wall bed easily doubles the potential of any space as it doubles the functionality of the room. During the day, your space can be used a dining room, home office, living room, or wellness room. When the day is done, the bed can be lowered giving you a fully-realized bedroom in seconds.

Why is there a premium price point?

As mentioned before, our wall beds are the highest quality wall beds you can find anywhere on the market. From our patented soft open/close mechanisms, to unlimited customizability of our products, to our sustainability efforts, we ensure our products feel luxurious and function seamlessly. Mass-produced furniture quickly wears out its useful life, often ending up in landfills within just a few years. Worse yet, it supports exploitative and unsustainable supply chains. We believe our clients, our workers, and our planet deserve better than that. We take careful thought in every step in the process of our products, from creation to installation. 

Our philosophy is simple: curate pieces that aren't just sustainably made, but that enable us to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
