Save Space and Money With This DIY Murphy Bed

While Resource Furniture doesn't list prices on its website, the starting price for its Swing design was quoted at $6,500.

The sofa's top cushions can be removed, making it easy to pull the wall bed unit out over the sofa.

For a rougher but dramatically cheaper alternative, consider purchasing a Murphy bed hardware kit that mounts to a baseboard and pair it with this Ikea sofa.

To ensure that the bed can fit over the sofa, you'll want to build a 2-by-4-foot frame and mount the Murphy bed hardware to that instead of the baseboard.
