Your home should reflect your lifestyle: beautifully designed, highly functional, and built to work for you. At Valet Custom Cabinets & Closets, we specialize in custom Murphy beds, also known as wall beds, that combine elegance, versatility, and expert craftsmanship. Proudly designed and manufactured locally in the San Francisco Bay Area, our systems are tailored to make the most of every inch of your space.
What Is a Murphy Bed? Elegance Meets Practicality
Imagine a bed that appears and disappears with ease. A Murphy bed embodies this elegant functionality. Valet Custom Cabinets & Closets features premium, name-brand Murphy bed mechanisms designed for seamless operation and long-lasting reliability. With a gentle pull or push, your living area transforms from a cozy bedroom to an open space, ready to embrace whatever your day holds. Because every Valet product is crafted locally right here in the Bay Area, each wall bed receives meticulous attention to detail and quality control that mass-produced options simply can't match which ensures your bed will stand the test of time.
Maximizing Functionality
The magic of a Murphy bed goes beyond its hidden convenience. These beds are masterpieces of functionality, designed to seamlessly integrate into your room's style. Whether you want a sleek modern look or a warm traditional finish, Valet’s selection of premium finishes allows your Murphy bed to align with your aesthetic. Explore our finishes here or learn more about our custom stain and custom paint options.
Real Comfort for Your Guests
Your guests will appreciate an upgrade from the air mattress that deflates overnight or the lumpy pull-out couch. At Valet Custom Cabinets & Closets, our Murphy beds deliver the comfort of a real bed with the convenience of a space-saving design. Each wall bed features a platform-style foundation that supports high-quality mattresses up to 11 inches thick, ensuring a truly restful night’s sleep. Choose from our premium spring coil mattresses in firm or plush options, or use your own preferred mattress for a personalized touch.
Unlike temporary sleeping solutions, our Murphy beds rest at a comfortable, standard bed height of 21 inches or higher (depending on mattress selection), making them ideal for seniors or guests with mobility considerations. For an added touch of comfort, we can also integrate thoughtful details like built-in lighting, bedside tables, or storage cabinets. Your guests will enjoy a truly welcoming bedroom experience, not just a place to crash for the night.
Unleash Space Savings
In the Bay Area, space is at a premium, and a Murphy bed is the ultimate way to reclaim it. Whether you’re outfitting a studio apartment, a home office, or an ADU, our custom wall bed designs allow one room to serve multiple purposes without compromise.
Transform a guest bedroom into a home office. Reimagine a spare room as a workout space. Or simply open up your floor plan with furniture that works as hard as you do. Plus, every wall bed integrates beautifully with custom cabinetry, shelving, or desks, creating a cohesive look to fit your needs. The result: a stylish, multi-purpose room that adapts to your life.
A custom Murphy bed from Valet gives you flexibility to live the way you want. With intelligent space-saving design, you can maximize your home’s potential without any remodeling.

FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Valet’s Murphy Beds
-
What types of wall beds does Valet offer?
Valet offers vertical and horizontal (side-tilt) Murphy beds in configurations to suit any space. Choose from standalone wall beds, integrated wall bed systems with surrounding cabinetry, or wall beds with fold-down tables for extra workspace and storage. Every system is custom-designed to maximize your room's potential.
-
What size Murphy bed can I get?
We offer Murphy beds in all standard sizes: Twin, Full (Double), Queen, and King. Whether you're outfitting a compact studio or a spacious guest suite, we have a size that fits your space and accommodates your guests comfortably.
-
Can I use my own mattress?
Absolutely! That's one of the biggest advantages of a Valet Murphy bed. Our platform-style foundation supports most standard mattresses up to 11" thick and 110 lbs. Your guests sleep on a real, comfortable mattress, not a flimsy fold-out or uncomfortable foam pad
-
Are Murphy beds safe?
YES! Valet Murphy beds are engineered with safety as a priority. With the perfectly balanced springs, done by our expert technicians balancing the bed with your specific mattress. This ensures the bed lowers gracefully and slowly, and closes gently—making it safe for elderly parents and young children alike. Our systems are also seismically rated for earthquake safety. With proper professional installation and secure wall anchoring, your Murphy bed is built to last and operate safely for years to come.
-
How easy is it to operate a Murphy bed?
Valet's Murphy beds are designed for effortless operation. The counter-balanced mechanism uses high-quality chrome-silicon alloy springs engineered so the bed practically "floats" from vertical to horizontal with minimal effort, often just a gentle pull with one hand. The system is rated for up to 1,200 lbs and built for daily use, so you'll never struggle or wrestle with your wall bed. It's smooth, secure, and designed to work flawlessly for years.
-
Should I choose a vertical or horizontal Murphy bed?
- Vertical Murphy beds are ideal when you have adequate ceiling height and can access the bed from both sides. They require less wall width and are the most common configuration.
- Horizontal (side-tilt) Murphy beds work best when ceiling height is limited or when room width is constrained. They're also a great choice for rooms where accessing both sides of the bed would be difficult.
Not sure which orientation is right for your space? Our expert designers will evaluate your room layout, ceiling height, and how you plan to use the space, then recommend the perfect configuration during your free consultation.
-
How much does a Murphy bed from Valet cost?
Valet Murphy beds start at around $3,000, which includes professional installation and a quality mattress with a retail value of $650. That's comparable to purchasing a traditional bed frame, box spring, headboard, and mattress, but without the installation hassle and with far greater versatility. Because every project is custom, pricing varies based on size, finish, and additional features like integrated cabinetry or lighting. Request a free design consultation for an accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs.
-
Where can I see Murphy beds in person and speak with a designer?
Valet operates showrooms in Campbell and Danville, California, where you can see our bed systems on display, test the mechanisms, explore finish options, and arrange a complimentary consultation with one of our expert designers. We encourage you to visit, experience the smooth operation firsthand, and discuss your project in detail. Schedule your free design consultation today!
-
What about maintenance and warranty?
Valet Murphy beds are built for durability and require minimal maintenance. The mechanisms are engineered to ISO 9002 standards, rated for up to 1,200 lbs, and installed by trained technicians to ensure long-term smooth operation. We back our work with a 25-year limited warranty on the mechanism for lasting peace of mind. For specific warranty details on cabinetry and installation, please consult your project contract. Our team is always available to answer questions about care and maintenance.
-
