Murphy Wall Beds in Chandler, Arizona
Free In-Home Design Consultation: (602) 298-6956
Space Solutions designs and installs custom murphy wall beds for homeowners across the City of Chandler and the wider East Valley of the Phoenix metropolitan area. A murphy bed lets a single room hold two jobs without doing either one badly. Guest room on the weekend. Office, hobby room, or gym the rest of the year. One room. Two functions. No fold-out mattress apology.
The concept sounds simple. A real bed with a real mattress folds into the wall when nobody is sleeping on it. Building one that does that well is the harder part. Flat-pack kits sold online tend to be wobbly, loud, and they still read as a murphy bed when closed. A custom wall bed from Space Solutions looks like built-in cabinetry when it is shut, and opens to a standard mattress at standard bed height on a mechanism quiet enough to use at midnight.
Chandler has a specific version of this problem, and it comes straight out of the housing stock. A city of roughly 279,000 people where most homes went up between 1970 and 1999, with a downtown core running back to 1912. Older houses mean smaller footprints. Smaller footprints mean no room gets to be single-purpose.
Serving every Chandler neighborhood.
Downtown Chandler and Chandler Square, Fulton Ranch, Ocotillo, Sun Lakes, the Price Corridor neighborhoods, and the Chandler Airpark corridor. Founded by Noah and Jennifer Peery in 1991. 45,000+ Arizona homes served, backed by a lifetime installation warranty.
Why Choose a Murphy Bed for Your Chandler Home?
A murphy bed makes sense in Chandler because so many homes here were built with one spare bedroom and a real need for two. Downtown bungalows have small footprints. Fulton Ranch townhomes trade square footage for location. Price Corridor professionals need an office that still sleeps a visitor. The wall bed resolves all three.
Start downtown. The homes around Chandler Square date from 1912 through the 1960s, bungalows and early Spanish Revival houses designed when bedrooms were sleeping rooms and nothing else. No bonus room. No flex space. A permanent guest bed in the second bedroom gets used maybe two weeks a year while the owner works from the kitchen table, and that trade stops making sense the first month somebody works from home for real.
Fulton Ranch is a different kind of tight. Chandler’s final large-scale master-planned community spans 520 acres and a 28-acre lake system, holding everything from townhomes at the entry price band up to multi-million-dollar custom estates. The estate tier has rooms to spare. The townhome tier does not, and those owners are the ones asking us to make a guest room and a home office share one wall.
Then there is work. The Price Corridor concentrates one of the largest semiconductor employment clusters in the region inside Chandler city limits: Intel across two campuses with roughly 12,000 workers, Microchip Technology’s global headquarters with about 1,700, and NXP Semiconductors with about 1,700 more. Dual-income engineering households, frequently hybrid. The home office is where the job happens, not a nice-to-have. A wall bed with a fold-down desk lets that office convert for visiting family over a holiday weekend and convert back Monday morning, which is why this page pairs so naturally with our Chandler home office work.
Sun Lakes changes the brief again. In an age-restricted community the guest room exists mostly for grandchildren and out-of-town family, so it sits empty roughly 50 weeks a year while the owner would rather have a craft table or a reading room. Our Sun Lakes installs get a counterbalance tuned on the light side and a pull handle at comfortable standing height, so lowering the bed takes a steady pull rather than a lift.
Style and Configuration Options for Chandler Homes
Every system is cut to your exact dimensions, which matters in a city where a 1958 bungalow bedroom and a 2006 townhome bedroom are nothing alike. Room size, how the space works with the bed up, and finish are the three variables.
Queen and Full Options
Queen is the popular pick for guest rooms. Closed, the cabinet face measures roughly 65 inches wide and 87 inches tall. Full-size beds suit smaller rooms, including most of what we see downtown, at a cabinet face around 58 inches wide. Both accept a standard mattress up to 12 inches thick. Twin and king are available when a room calls for it.
Vertical vs. Horizontal
Vertical beds fold down from the top and are the standard layout. They need about 8 feet of ceiling height, plus 5.5 feet of wall for a full or 6.5 feet for a queen. Horizontal beds fold out from the side and work better under lower ceilings or along a long wall. Ceiling height decides this more often than Chandler homeowners expect, since 8-foot flat ceilings were the norm here well into the 1990s.
Side Cabinet Storage
Side cabinets flank the bed and add storage, shelving, and display. Bed up, they read as a built-in wall unit. Bed down, they work as nightstands on both sides. Most Chandler homeowners mix them: closed base cabinets for linens and luggage, open shelves above for books and photos. In a downtown home with no linen closet worth the name, those base cabinets often become the linen storage for the whole house.
Office and Bed Combos
The office and bed combo is the configuration Chandler asks for most. A fold-down desk surface mounts to the face of the bed cabinet. Bed up, you have a full working desk with shelving on either side. Guest inbound, the desk folds up with your laptop, monitor, and paperwork still on it, and the bed comes down.
Power outlets, USB charging, and cable management build into the desk surface, so the setup stays connected all week and disappears when the bed deploys. For a hybrid engineer working out of a Fulton Ranch townhome or a Chandler Airpark corridor home, the spare bedroom finally earns its square footage both ways.
Desk Integration
The fold-down desk runs 48 to 54 inches wide and sits at a standard 29-inch working height when deployed. It holds up to 40 pounds of equipment left in place during the transition. Dual monitors mount to side-cabinet arms rather than the desk surface, so the screens hold position while the desk swings up.
Guest Room Solutions
For rooms that lean mostly toward hosting, we design the details that keep a guest from feeling like an afterthought. Reading lights on both sides. USB charging at nightstand height. A shelf for water, glasses, and a phone. Chandler households host constantly, from family escaping a northern winter to grandchildren over spring break.
Mattress Recommendations
The mattress decides whether the whole thing works. We recommend a quality 10 to 12-inch memory foam or hybrid. A 10-inch queen memory foam runs 60 to 80 pounds, well within what the gas piston handles. Innerspring works too, it is simply heavier and we adjust the counterbalance for it. Unlike a sofa bed with its thin tri-fold pad, a murphy bed holds a full mattress flat.
Lighting Built-Ins
Integrated LED lighting changes how the room reads. Puck lights under the side-cabinet shelves, linear strips inside glass-front sections, reading lights at the head of the bed. Everything hardwires to one switch, or pairs with smart-home controls. Draw is negligible, which is worth something in July when an SRP bill needs no help climbing.
Four Chandler Homes, Four Different Murphy Bed Briefs
Downtown Chandler bungalow, 1912 to 1960s. Small bedrooms, 8-foot ceilings, no flex space anywhere in the plan. Solution: full-size horizontal wall bed with deep base cabinets that absorb the linen storage the house never had.
Fulton Ranch townhome. Entry price band inside a community that also holds custom estates, so square footage is the constraint rather than budget. Solution: queen vertical bed with a fold-down desk and full side cabinetry.
Price Corridor professional’s home office. Hybrid schedule, dual monitors, and family visiting a few times a year. Solution: office and bed combo with integrated power, USB, and cable management at the desk surface.
Sun Lakes single-level home. Guest room used about two weeks a year, wanted back the other 50. Solution: queen bed on a light-side counterbalance, standing-height pull handle, reading lights and charging at both sides.
How Murphy Bed Installation Works
Installation comes down to secure mounting into the wall framing. Our systems spread the load across multiple mounting points, so no single anchor carries the weight. A gas piston or spring counterbalance offsets the mattress, which is what lets the bed raise and lower with one hand.
Step 1: Consultation. Our designer comes to your Chandler home, measures the room, checks ceiling height and framing, and talks through how the space needs to work in both configurations.
Step 2: Design and Quote. Within about a week you receive a 3D rendering showing the room bed-up and bed-down, plus a clear itemized quote.
Step 3: Manufacturing. Your components go into production at our Phoenix facility. Figure 3 to 5 weeks depending on size, finish, and material availability.
Step 4: Installation. One to two days on site. We mount the system to the framing, set the cabinetry, run the mechanism through a full cycle, and walk you through operating it before we leave.
Every installation is backed by our lifetime installation warranty, and all work is performed under Arizona ROC# 248245.

Is a murphy bed comfortable?
Yes. A murphy bed holds a standard mattress at standard bed height. The sleep experience is the same as a regular bed frame.
How much weight can a murphy bed hold?
Our systems are rated for the mattress weight plus 500 pounds of sleeper weight. A queen system with a memory foam mattress comfortably supports two adults.
Can I keep bedding on the mattress when it folds up?
Yes. Sheets and light blankets stay in place. Pillows may need to come off depending on thickness. We install elastic retention straps across the mattress face to hold bedding in position during the transition.
Are murphy beds a good fit for smaller Chandler homes?
They are one of the best fits we know of. Downtown Chandler bungalows built between 1912 and the 1960s have small bedrooms and no flex space, and Fulton Ranch townhomes trade square footage for location. A wall bed gives you a real guest bed without surrendering a room you would rather use as an office the other 50 weeks of the year. Horizontal configurations help where ceilings are 8 feet.
How hard is a murphy bed to open and close?
It should take one hand and no strain. The counterbalance offsets the mattress weight, and we tune it to the mattress you choose. For Sun Lakes and other single-level Chandler homes, we set it on the light side and place the pull handle at comfortable standing height. Gas piston mechanisms are rated for 10,000 to 15,000 cycles and are replaceable.
