Anyone who knows the appeal of a Murphy bed understands why it’s such a smart solution for small spaces. At night, it functions like a standard bed with a full frame and mattress, but once morning rolls around, it folds upright against the wall, freeing up valuable floor space. As if that weren’t useful enough, Costco found a way to make the idea even more practical with its Boutique Murphy bed, a design that delivers more built-in storage than many people get from their desk, nightstand, and bookshelf altogether. Along with the bed itself, the Boutique includes four shelves, two drawers, and even a pullout desk setup—ideal for anyone whose bedroom also doubles as a workspace.

The Murphy bed comes in three colors: gray, white, and dark brown. It’s also $350 off right now, for a total price of $1,399.99. Full transparency: reviews of this bed are mixed, with customers lamenting issues with quality control and customer service, while others say it's worth the time and effort to build. Putting together a Murphy bed, especially this one, is not for the faint of heart, so if you’re not a DIY-er, hire a professional or ask the handy person in your life to take charge.

One shopper said, “This Murphy bed and storage system is just what we were looking for. With our first kiddo on the way we needed to combine our office into our guest room. This kit came in 10 boxes, and although there was some damage to the box, the contents were packaged such that there was no damage to the bed or storage units. We are experienced DIYers and although putting the bed and storage units together was a many step process, it only took me about 3 evenings with a few spots where I needed a second person. If you're looking to spread your dollar and get a good balance of value, function and looks, this is the kit for you!”

The Costco bed is queen-sized, but if you're in the market for something smaller, bigger, or cheaper, rest assured (literally) that there are plenty of alternatives on Amazon. Feel free to search yourself or just take a peek at our finds below.
