Remote-Control Hideaway Bed: Motorized Murphy Bed Hidden in Bookcase Unit

This motorized hideaway bed transforms from a bookcase wall unit into a complete sleeping area in 35 seconds via remote control. Unlike traditional murphy beds that require manual folding, this system uses electric motors to slide the bed out from behind the shelving unit. The mechanism keeps the bed horizontal throughout deployment.

System Features

  • Operation: Remote control activation
  • Deployment Time: 35 seconds
  • Mechanism: Motorized slide-out (not fold-down)
  • Hidden Storage: Concealed behind functional bookcase
  • Bed Position: Remains horizontal during deployment
  • Manufacturer: The Concealed Bed Company

Bookcase Mode – Bed Hidden

Lessons from Motorized Convertible Furniture

  • Automation Eliminates Physical Effort: Remote-controlled systems require no lifting or folding
  • 35 Seconds Enables Daily Use: Quick transformation makes hiding the bed practical rather than occasional
  • Horizontal Deployment Preserves Bedding: Slide-out mechanisms keep sheets and pillows in place
  • Bookcase Fronts Add Function: Storage shelving remains usable when bed is hidden
  • Higher Cost Buys Convenience: Motorized systems cost more than manual murphy beds but offer effortless operation

    I like the concept, one of the better variations of the murphy bed concept. The power feature IS nice but what happens when (not if, it WILL fail) the power drops. Unless you’re a self generator, or even grid tied with a transfer switch to deal with power company requirements, you either can’t get to your bed or you can’t get rid of it unless there is some sort of manual override designed in. Won’t go to the website as I’m afraid I’ll find out the price and I’m sure it’s up there.

    Wow – this is awesome. Makes my low tech bed seem like a kid building with Lego’s! But I like it. Did you see my lowly version?

    Debra your version is awesome… and way simpler. I like!

    I agree David, some parts of it are kind of scary. Like the price and reliance on power.

    I looked at Debra’s version earlier this morning; simple, dual purpose, as fail safe as the hand of people can make it, and even manages to look good doing it. Great job and I bet she manage to keep costs significantly less than the high tech variant the post refers to.
